Possibly the most nostalgic thing I've come across. I have vivid memories of this commercial being one of the earliest experiences with "television commercials" I ever had (along with Sketchers Hot Lights). This was when a commercial could still "wow" me. I mean, I was so young at the time, I remember thinking it was part of Fraggle Rock. And I mean, I can kinda see it. They're both drilling into stuff, right? Not a bad "first commercial" I must say, and it definitely worked. But trust me, it was a LOOONG way down from here...
Not to hammer home the point too much, but this Jenga-like game with a little jackhammer always looked like a real blast, and still kind of does. Something all the cool big kids were into. Something about the clear colored bricks... Def holds up... well, until you topple it down. I probably even played it at some point. Looks like something you play at your rich uncle's house. You didn't have wealthy uncles?
But speaking of games I'm pulling right out of my ass's memory that somehow still "hold up" even today, I mean, obviously... the Forbidden Bridge game. For the longest time I thought I just dreamed this game, because I only remember seeing it in commercials when I was a tyke, but thanks to Youtube, here it is! Very neat shake'em game. And I suppose Olmec had to start somewhere.
Forgetting this is Forbidden!
