[ continuation ] take it right out of the box and start playing or working or talking to it on your TV. The *great* software? First, Where In the World Is Carmen Sandiego?, the game that teaches you geography. Then, there's Tetris, a famous game, but never displayed as well as on the Amiga. Finally, we're also including a word processing program. All for a price that's less than $500.* "COMMODORE EXPRESS(tm) Amiga has been sold to more than 1 million people worldwide. How much are we committed to our customers? This much: if anything goes wrong with your Amiga, call our toll-free number. If our 24 hour 365 days a year hot-line can't figure it out, Federal Express will come to your home, pick up your Amiga, fly it to us, where we will fix it and get it right back to you. All at our expense.** "After arguing so strenuously for the importance of Amiga in your life, we really, truly wouldn't want to keep it from your any longer than was necessary." "See an exciting demonstration of the Amiga 500 at any of these stores. "Apex, HH Gregg, McDuff, Swallen's, Boscov's, Leiser Superstores, Software Etc, Video Concepts, Famous Barr, Macy's California, Sun TV, WaldenSoftware. For additional stores call 800-662-6442". Tiny print: "*Based on average selling price of Amiga 500C at above retailers as of 10/90. Actual retail pricing may vary." "**Subject to provisions of consumer limited warranty." "Additional memory may be required for some software programs shown". Numerous trademarks listed at the bottom too. (I left them out….my hands are tired from typing this!) —————————————— I tell you want folks….you have to see this ad for yourself. It's a little corny at first, but it packs quite a punch. I'm sure the critics will have something to say (they always do), but I think it's a great ad, and I'm sure it's going to sell a bunch of Amigas.
