    I remember being a kid in the early 80's and playing this game... it was an arcade cabinet in an open mall, I decided to attack it with as much intensity as the guy in the video and got the furthest I'd ever gotten... when I was done I looked around and a small crowd had gathered around me... then a girl said to her boyfriend, "How come _you_ can't do that with a quarter?" - the 80's were the best lol

    It was Jackson Beck, the guy who did voiceovers for "GI Joe", Rascals candy, Little Caesar's and many others. He was also a radio announcer for "Superman" back in the 40's and also the voice of Bluto in the Popeye cartoons as well as in many of the cartoons from Famous Studios back in the 40's and 50's.

    • @jedijones

      On G.I. Joe, he was the narrator. He didn't play a character. I believe he did the voiceovers for the opening titles, commercial bumpers and the previews and summaries connecting the episodes if they were multi-part stories.
