I have a copy of The Hunt For Red October that was taped in December off of HBO, and it's got this ad before it for...you know those children's games, it's a plastic enclosure, you fill it with water, there are like little plastic rings or balls, and you like push a button to squirt water around the enclosure to move the rings around, it's like if you explained the concept of Pinball to someone, and the only language you share in common is Klingon? I have a late 80's early 90's ad for that.
