1983 Masters of the Universe Video Game Ad
I uncovered this 1983 ad over at archive.org. Unfortunately, the ad is all alone; the upload wasn’t part of a magazine and there are no details on where the ad was scanned from. Damn! That really sucks because I’d love to track this down and get a better look at the artwork.
It’s easy to forget just how much money Mattel had sunk into their video game efforts in the early eighties. The Intellivision (see Wikipedia) was Mattel’s big push into the market so it’s not surprising to see that the gameplay images in this ad are as they appear on an Intellivision system.
