http://www.retrojunk.com/video/1/retro-tv-commercials.html
they have a TON of video game commercials in here that i thought people might want to check out. the 2 dork kids rapping about zelda is definetly a classic. they even have the original mario atari commercial , which is pretty cool.

Very nice, I'm sure, but there are a considerable number of threads already dealing with retro video game commercials and how to find them, y'know.

well the search function did'nt really bring up anything that this site had. why don't you use it before you try and correct me.

Whoa, easy there. I merely attempt to follow the lead of those who have previously replied to other topics which have been discussed before.

Very weird, I had just stumbled on this site today when searching for old TV theme songs and was going to search the board for related threads when I saw this one right on the front page. :hmm:
Their theme song section is great. Themes to the Donkey Kong and DK Jr. cartoons, Captain N, The Super Mario Bros. Super Show... the audio quality varies, but it's generally better than I expected for such old material.
