The first video games announcement in Spain

Since well you know the first consoles they began to sell in Spain and other European countries to beginning and middle of the 70, and his announcements in press were not late in coming, the first one of them is this publicity of the stores Sears at the end of 1978.

The console in question (if someone knows which is that it leaves a comment) consent with 8 games and 3 alternatives (that I imagine that there will be several difficulty levels) in addition to control managers. And quite at a price for 9.995 pesetas (that in 1978 must be bastanante a money).

The publicity of the shopping centers Sears dates of December 21, 1978 in the newspaper Avant-garde

I had a CLONE OF PONG somewhere near the year 1983, he was 4 years old, since in that epoch they were abounding that it was a pleasure, but it had one yellow with two managers, who were incorporating the Spinner and a crosspiece like that of the managers of supernes, but more vulgar. 8 games were changes of the PONG, but hockey was called, tennis, a basketball, etc... They were quite similar, but simultaneously it sufficiently different to be entertained each of them. That's why I suppose that the announcement was naming 8 games. These clonal of PONG with several games were very successful in Spain those years. Later I remember that my father bought an ATARI, I am thinking about remembering, but I am not very sure, since the PAC-MAN was practically just as that of the recreational one of the bar of my people, to which my father was corrupted jeje.

To me what more impresses me of the announcement is that it belongs to SEARS. Probably be one of the commercial chains of bigger center of the world, after WalMart, and that it is already not in Spain... They are those who invented the program Entire Reconstruction, that in 7 days they do a new house to you.
