I have no idea why, but 80s commercials make me feel good. It's not necessarily because it's nostalgic, because it doesn't matter whether or not it's about something I recognize from my childhood.
Wow! Now this was the borderline year as the 70’s came to the end, and the 80’s began. I was 5 and in kindergarten (80/81) around this time, and I actually remember this broadcast. Those cereal commercials bring back memories too. This would be the year I would start to get familiar with television program schedules, and reading the TV Guide. I had the Merlin via hand me down from my cousin and had a blast with it! Electronic games sure were clunky back then. 😆
Kenneth Kimmins as the dad in Sugar Smacks spot? I don't think I remember the 2nd game, Split Second. I do recall a football game that was shaped nearly the same way. Had Bank Shot and Tudor handheld electronic football.
all these games were just a little bit before my time (would've only been one year old) the only electronic game I really remember having (as far as the early pre-Tiger era games are concerned) was Super Cobra by Entex! I remember my dad worked at a record store and I'd sit there on my little game just playing away.... good times!

We had a Merlin growing up. wow haven't thought about it in years.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING 80s COMMERCIAL VAULT
ELI NEFF happy Thanksgiving to you
We somehow had Stop Thief's electronic thing without the game. We called it the car alarm game.
Back when you could have sugar in your cereal names.:) Interesting they put Hong Kong Phooey with Godzilla as a combo.
We had a Merlin when we were growing up. Sadly I don't know where it went.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!!!

Bonus 80sCommercialVault for Thanksgiving!
HEY BEAT THAT SCORE
The Flintstones Comedy Show...I guess that's a better title than "The Flintstones Hour of Tragedy and Mourning".
Crispy Wheats n Raisins
So...Raisin Bran essentially
1980 - year of the red and orange electronic games
0:38/0:48- Mandel Kramer, announcer.
Was that Catherine Hicks (from Child’s Play and 7th Heaven) in the Split Second commercial?
Nope.
10:26 ..."with lovable Shmoo, Captain Bxvqg"... however you spell these last syllables. A rather different way to end a Thanksgiving Day, I'd say.
He was saying "Captain Caveman"...which was one of the segments on the "Flintstones Comedy Show"
5:54 - I don't recognize the elephant. What cereal is he associated with?
Cocoa Krispies
2:45- John Bartholomew Tucker, announcer.
