TSR’s Star Frontiers commercial is up first. The animation is impressive for 1983, and the concept is clever. As the doors to the hobby shop open, you can see the 1983 D&D Basic Set update (red box, revised by Frank Mentzer) and Fantasy Forest on display to the right. You can download the Alpha Dawn rulebook (the art is exquisite throughout), modules, character sheets, and other cool stuff at starfrontiers.com.
My original objective was to post all the available TSR commercials here, but the Mr. T spot that starts at 1:03 lured me off course. Won’t you sing along?
Mr. T! He’s got legs that move, he’s twelve inches high-igh.
Mr. T! He’s got a real cool haircut and a mean, mean look in his eye-eye.
He’s got arms that move and a fistful of rings…
You can pretend that Mr. T is real tough and mean.
Mr. T!
Mr. T!
I’m currently speechless, so I’ll leave the comments to you.
