The Wiz

This flier from the Wiz advertised the Emerson Arcadia-2001 game console ("LED power 'on' indicator"; "state of the art micro computer technology"), Mattel Intellivision ("exclusive overlay system"; "object control disc" [WTF?]), the Atari 2600 (through some promotion with McDonald's), the Atari 400 and the Commodore VIC-20 (shilled by Shatner).

Bonus: check out the typewriter ads. (For those of you who have never heard of a "typewriter," it's an electronic appliance that is similar to a word processor but with a sheet of paper where the screen would normally be.)
