    Default Favorite Classic Game Commercials

    Now when i say classic i am gonna say N64/PS1/Saturn days and earlier

    they were creative.. they were weird.. they were funny.. and they were awe inspiring.
    Back in the golden years of video games in order to sell a game to you.. they made you want to buy it through visual advertisement you'd see on tv

    these are your favorites

    I came across one yesterday that blew my mind. Because of how old it is and how graphically advanced it is considering its age

    This is the "Atari What Will We Come Up With Next" commercial
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaPxLLTFZr4
    where it shows a man sitting in a room catching inspiration from a fly whos flying around which spawns to "Yars Revenge!" and then various other games. The directive style seems like something Stanley Kubrick would come up with lol. Its pretty incredible

    Famous "Dig Dug Ad"
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmFZnpnur4U
    which seems like a short movie about dig dug

    Funny Commercials like "Mario Bros" for atari
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSte8m4Da6A
    "Mario where areeeee you!!!!!!" haha

    Donkey Kong for the coleco and atari intv commercial
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ePUeCFOMTM

    Zelda Commercial
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNtuK4CU3ko
    "wikiwikiwiki" i bet that nerd now runs a big organization these days haha

    Wow, I don't remember ever seeing that commercial.

    Who's ready for a 3D remake of the Oracle games after seeing that, though?
    I completed my NES collection (US)!

    I really like the 30 second spot for Ocarina of time. I remember getting chills and getting seriously pumped to play it!

    Did people really choose the Genesis over the SNES just because Sega programmed their character to run fast?

    Beautiful, beautiful commercial. An absolute must-see. (And the inspiration for the Microsoft Kinect? )
