I was looking through a bunch of older magazines ('80-'83) and found a number of full page ads. It was a blast to the past and I did notice the ads weren't retouched screenshots but rather actual screenshots and the sales pitch weren't exagrating a smuch as modern game ads do. The ad was cleaner looking and not as loud either.

Anyway, name the game and the system it's for:
"Either this is the best space game ever, or my living room is going 165 MPH."

I plan to post the scans of the ads I found and I'll look through more of the magazines for other ads.

I know I know.. it's that Intellivision game where you fly through a green death-star like trench while trying to save a planet (which can get blown up in the games "special effect" hook).. I forget the name of the game but I remember the ad. ;)

<edit> ok now I remember. Star Strike is the name :)

No, that appears to be the ad for some lame-o free web service that doesn't want to be used for image hosting. LOL

looks like a cool game. I should look for it on my Intellivision Lives! CD.
