I did some digging around for this. I remember having this tape as a kid. I found the clown with a gun bit hilarious and would watch it over and over. I didn't remember what system this commercial was for. When I initially searched for this I started searching for CDI and finally went to wikipedia to search for other early disc based TV systems.

Cena_mark - 2016-01-17 I think you're right. Both boys look like members of the original Barney line up.

Cena_mark - 2016-01-17 It's funny how we felt a duty to watch this tape. It came at a time where my family didn't have a very large VHS collection.

There's no way this isn't a 2016 made parody of a 90s video.

Uh, no, the Latin name of Tyrannosaurus Rex is not "Kiddis Eateruppus". The Latin name of Tyrannosaurus Rex is Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Selling this as an educational tool; no wonder it went nowhere!

animegurl1000 - 2016-01-16 Yeah! Kiddis eateruppus is the Greek name.

It's fascinating to me how so many companies tried to make these sort-of-like-a-PC television boxes that all failed because everyone just ended up overlooking them and getting a PC anyway when they got cheap enough.
I lived in one of the 50 or so American households who owned a Phillips-Magnavox WebTV System. Those were dark days indeed.

Cena_mark - 2016-01-16 What's funny about these is how they tried to be what the Playstations and Xboxes of today try to be. They're selling themselves as something beyond a game console.

Scrimmjob - 2016-01-17 I knew this old dude who swore by webtv! He was using that shit way later than you would ever imagine it was still active.
|
infinite zest - 2016-01-17 webtv always seemed pretty cool to me! Back in 200X I spent sometimes hours just trying to convert some youtube video to a video I could put on a DVD-ROM, just because I was having a get-together and didn't want everybody to have to huddle around the computer.

infinite zest - 2016-01-17 except for that there's a song in LOOM that makes the guy's head explode like a tomato! What a wonderfully fucked up childhood I had

If only 80's and 90's TV had more clowns with guns!
