History worth playing

DDB Spain launches “History Worth Playing” a campaign for the Computer Spiele Museum of Berlin, action created because of the 20th anniversary of the museum. “Radio Game” is the video game distributed through radio ads, the main piece of the campaign, developed because of the 35 anniversary since the creation of the historical ZX Spectrum. To obtain “Radio Game”, users have to dust off their Spectrums, pay attention to the radio ads broadcasted on the European radios and record with a cassette the characteristic sound of the ad that hides a video game data.
