The first one must be what created both the terms "nerd" and "geek". Sniff.

Here's some REAL old adverts: http://www.back2roots.org/Pics/Scans/Adverts/Update//240/

My favourites:
http://www.back2roots.org/View/688 Attack Sub Advert,1/
"New standards of realism, 3D graphics and excitement" "Screenshots represent the IBM version, we think the Amiga version looks even better!"

http://www.back2roots.org/View/Beneath a Steel Sky Advert,1/
Beneath a steel sky, damnit!

http://www.back2roots.org/View/Cabal Advert,1/
One thing's for sure, they had a hella lot cooler adverts back then with kickass artists.

Hilarious.

http://www.back2roots.org/View/Ghost 'n Goblins Advert,1/
"Choice of 5 weapons with which to fight", "28 enemy characters to overcome", "4 way scrolling effect".. Oh, and yeah, this game rocked. Those toys look neat aswell!

Lamest game ever.

The makers of this ad probably said "Let's turn the letters to all kinds of directions, that'll attract some customers!". Well, it worked.

LOL why would ANYONE buy a NES after watching that

btw, notice that games have become more mainstream with each generation?

Atari + NES = basically no adverts, games are for g33ks only
Mega drive + SNES = great games, more kids start playing
PS1 + N64 + dreamcast = Loads of kids play games, even some popular comercials
Ps2 + gamecube + Xbox = Suddenly loads of people play games, there are adverts everywhere (probally due to EA :/ )

"your parents help you hook it up!"

I don't know which Zelda commercial is crazier, that one, or this one here:

http://www.x-entertainment.com/downloads/commercials/zelda.wmv

X-Entertainment has a bunch of old commercials for games and stuff. Mostly just weird things from the 80s.

Does anybody remember the Sega Genesis commercial that had the kid telling his dad he wants Sega Genesis and Game Gear for Christmas? The father is walking through the toystore, trying to remember the name of it while seeing all these other toys and Christmas decorations, and when he gets up to the sales lady he asks if she has "Mega Pegasus for Reindeer."
