Nope, you both probably saw the same game, as did I.  But alas, I was
in Chicago and there was no Amiga commercial that I could see.
Probably some difference in regional distribution.

It WAS a wild finish.  And to think I almost turned it off 2 or 3 times.
The last 15 minutes were the most unbelievable football I've ever seen.

Also, has anyone seen ANYTHING about the Amiga commercials on Entertainment
Tonight?  I've been recording them since last Wednesday and haven't seen
hide nor hair of it.
