Do well (especially on the bonus rounds) and you'll have more chances on the higher, more difficult levels.

It's fast-paced, simple, and addictive.

More than ten years before than the digital TV transition finally occurred, this TV was "digital ready." Sadly Philips left the U.S. TV market in 2008. I had forgotten this ad, but the ad and tagline came flooding back after one viewing:

Starfleet really should have some vessels out there just to deal with distress signals. This week's signal comes from a strangely familiar place. Or is it?
