Mind-Expanding Technology

I love 80's arcade marketing.  The fact that no games are mentioned by name in this ad reminds me of Brian Doyle-Murray in Wayne's World explaining to Rob Lowe that the biggest challenge in promoting his Noah's Arcade chain was that the technology moved faster than the advertising.  The focus here is on "mind-expanding, state-of-the-art technology featuring intelligence of up to a half-million bytes" and "laser optics" with graphics of "up to 80,000 pixels with 30,000 colors."
