Donkey Kong Jr. - “Help Save Papa!“ (Commercial, 1983)

Here’s a commercial for Donkey Kong Jr. - the video game available on Colecovision and coming soon for Atari 2600 VCS and Intellivision. Mario’s a villain? (C)1983 Coleco Industries, Inc. This aired on local Chicago TV on Tuesday, March 15th 1983. (The Ides of March!) About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television: The Museum of Classic Chicago Television’s primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. 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 purposes. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 4,700 (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, pleas
