1977 ToysRUs Newspaper Ad for Star Wars: Escape from the Death Star
A few years ago I shared the commercial for this game, and today I’m reminding you of the past with this ToysRUs newspaper ad from 1977. Out of the Milwaukee Sentinel, the ad lists the game on sale for under $5 and makes me again think of what the world was like before there were so many Star Wars games (Amazon.com search*) available to us. I prefer today’s wide variety of Star Wars game options over the time when there weren’t many Star Wars games . . . and basically zero great Star Wars games.
