  • Here's a commercial for a great magazine - Games. I used to love this magazine.
    Note: This is to replace an earlier, now broken (unplayable) video posting, preserved as an unlisted video here to save the original comments: • [broken] Games Magazin... )
    This aired on local Chicago TV on Wednesday, August 13th 1980 during the 11:00am to 12:00pm timeframe.
    About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
    The MCCTv (FuzzyMemoriesTV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s to early 80s, mostly) recorded off of TV (in Chicago or other cities now too); things which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. If you have any old 1970s videotapes recorded off of TV please email: tapes@fuzzy.tv Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical preservation. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to digital, please e-mail tapes@fuzzy.tv Thank you for your help!

      @@NEO91154 Games was originally published by Playboy, debuting with the September/October 1977 issue. It was acquired by PSC Limited Partnership in 1987, briefly out of business in 1990 (after PSC filed for bankruptcy), and brought back to life in 1991 by the Manhattan-based mail-order company "Bits & Pieces". Kappa Publishing Group acquired it in 1996 and moved the Games office to Kappa's headquarters in Pennsylvania.

    As OMNI is being mentioned…. I’d forgotten I won a Games Magazine puzzle in my youth - but the puzzle was from an ad in Omni. I was SOOO excited at the time.

      Don't worry. Yesterday the news said the police officer who pulled over Justin Timberlake was so young he didn't know who Justin was. The point is: a whole new generation is rapidly feeling ancient too!
