A UK commercial from Thorn EMI promoting the use of their Computer Software from 1985.

Thorn EMI was a major British company involved in consumer electronics, music, defence and retail. It was created in October 1977 when Thorn Electrical Industries merged with EMI to form one of the largest operating companies in the United Kingdom.

Computer Software

In the early-to-mid 1980’s, Thorn EMI Video Programmes released a number of games for several home computer formats, initially under their own name. They received a lukewarm reception with no major hits. These included Gold Rush, Road Racer and Volcanic Planet (1983) and River Rescue (1982). The label was later renamed Creative Sparks.
