    I love that commercial, one of my favorite Atari ones.

    Australian NES commercial

    No wonder the Master System sold better there.

    That commercial undoubtedly haunted many an Australian child's nightmares. *shiver*

    I love the way the whole family is "thrown" into the game as the rocking theme song plays in the background. Outstanding.

    I don't think you can, man. Wow, that was an unbelievably epic* commercial. I really felt transported as if I was on the verge of a new epoch in gaming. Old space games just make you feel all warm and futuristic inside, and this commercial does the genre more than justice. Thanks for the great post, Collector Gaming!


    Oh, what was the name of the thread? Post a link, will ya?

    *I refuse to allow this word to be co-opted by improper and overuse by the text speak generation.

    That has to be one of the best adverts I have ever watched. Surreal, grand, futuristic, compelling. I think I might go and buy a 2600 now!

    I've seen this before. Good stuff, man. I am surprised that the dance wasn't a bit more complex, though. Just the same, sweet camp appeal.
