In the 80's, Ideal Toys was slowly fading in popularity. A company that once sponsored Magilla Gorilla & Peter Potamus before both shows were cancelled 15 years earlier, Ideal was trying to get a piece of the electronic toy market. So they came up with Sky Writer, a hand-held LED board that, if you wave it in the air, a message appears.
Their idea of an ad campaign was to do a sci-fi adventure, narrated by Jackson Beck.
Small wonder that Ideal was a distant memory by the end of the decade.
