Activision Games (film #22 in The Most Memorable Commercials of the 1970s section of TVParty). [Category: Commercial]

This is a silly commercial for Ice Hockey, where the storekeeper gets the customer all hopped up and violent before selling him the game. I guess games were so primitive in those days that they needed the retailers to incite violence in the players, rather than the games themselves.

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ***. Weirdness: ***. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ***.
