The Mr. Video Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Since people have been posting topics about finding the good old 99'er in movies, I thought I'd post something similar. But this time, it's about a old television commercial for Quik about the Quik bunny playing Ti Invaders (Well, an animation of Ti invaders.) . He's even using a first party TI-99 joystick. What's odd is that they used sounds from Space Invaders for the atari 2600 instead of sounds from TI Invaders. The commercial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlL7MTdqyN8 Side Note: I swear he's going to break the fire button on the joystick if he keeps hammering on the button like that! We all know how the first party joysticks are! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know how the first party joysticks are! I thought that was the only way to get them to work, from what I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 What's odd is that they used sounds from Space Invaders for the atari 2600 instead of sounds from TI Invaders. Quite common actually, many commercials, TV shows unless they are specifically advertising a product they would MIX IT UP using the familiar 2600 sounds with whatever game / platform was being displayed. I noticed this practise many times over the years, I think also because our brains just click with those sounds we are so familiar with.

+jedimatt42 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Maybe this was why I loved Quik so much as a kid. I could relate to the bunny. -M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
