This clip from the popular Australian game show Sale of the Century gives audiences insight into the tech innovation and video gaming bubble of the 1980s. A prize package promises the winner 'home video entertainment, computer and colour TV.' This pool includes a retro video gaming oddity which eventually fell out of fashion: the Dick Smith Wizzard.

Host Delvene Delaney lays out the many features of the cartridge-based gaming console, including its ability to be converted into a personal computer. Her quips about living in a 'push-button world' and the contestant's blank stare reflect the gadget-obsessed times, where fast-evolving tech and novelty features created both convenience and confusion. The clip also gives insight into Sale of the Century's winning tone, which relies on laidback rapport, everyday contestants and sly promotional asides about the retail price of the latest hot products on the shelves.
