The Ad Game: Isaac Asimov and Some Fantastic Deals!

Isaac Asimov.  He was one of the most influential writers of our time, having written the Foundation series, along with other SF and non-fiction works, a list of which would be too exhaustive to repeat here.

He also knew a good deal when he saw one:



I have a feeling Mr. Asimov didn't say all those things. It must be a weird thing for an ad copy writer to put words into the mouth of Isaac Asimov, but they give it the old college try here.  "An exciting entertainer"?  "Just one of many fine computers from Radio Shack".  I also like him holding the joystick like someone just plopped it into his hand,  with a rictus grin thinking "What the heck is this thing?".

But still, you have to take it from Isaac.
