LOL.  That was pretty terrible.  I still <3 the ones with the Goonies music in the background though, and re-post them from time to time just to annoy my Facebook friends with my nostalgia.  ;-)

The Amiga commercial I remember most was the one where a kid launched his house into space with his Amiga.... It aired a lot around here.


OMG, link please?  I don't remember this one!

Love the background music, wish I could place it. Reminds me of my favourite TV Series of the time Whiz Kids :-)


That's the theme from the movie Goonies!

Also there's an extended (1 min.) version of that ad, here:
