Retronaut, a UK blog created by Chris Wild that is filled with retro finds, has dug up a great collection of early 1980s advertisements for the Commodore VIC-20 8-bit home computer featuring William Shatner (of Star Trek fame) as its spokesman. You can check out more ad images below and watch a related commercial posted by YouTuber That Video Stuff that features William Shatner talking about the Commodore VIC-20.
