Simon's Quest commercial (1988-1989? Konami)

Does anybody know where one could find this commercial online? Somebody at my local forums was asking about it.

I'd be interested in seeing this as well.
I am a big Castlevania fan.

I recall seeing the Dracula's Curse commercial back in 1990, but I don't recall ever seeing one for Simon's Quest. If it is out there, I'd love to see it.

I remember the Simon's Quest commercial. It had some kid playing the game in a blue-lit room (night-time) and with flashes of lightning or something and it had scary music or something...can't remember much more than that.

There should be a site on the web dedicated to video game advertisements. I enjoy the old comic book ones myself and could scan in and post a few.

This topic sparked my interest so I went searching for this commercial, alas I found it not.

On my search I did find some cool commercial sites though, in case anybody is interested here are the best I found:

I love the Atari: MARIO "WHERE ARE YOU!" commercial especially! It's at oldcomputer.com "the 17th video", man that's a classic LMAO! I Love that! I think I have a new hobby "watching video game commercials", heh.

Hey, thanks for the whole batch of Japanese game commercials! I already have most of the classic (ie. pre-crash and 8-bit eras) ads that came out, but I don't have that many modern ads and I just love the quirkyness of Japanese ads!

BTW, i saw on one of those sites a Japanese ad for the GameCube starring none other than Ichiro Suzuki, star of the Seattle Mariners (which happen to belong to Nintendo...). Maybe Nintendo should have gone for this approach here too. After all, Suzuki is one of the biggest baseball stars right now.
