Anyone know of those Genesis and Turbografx promo vids that used to play in the Toy r us kiosks in the early 90s?

Can't say if i remember that there was a genesis promo but i do remember the TG16 one and,it was so cheesey !

I still love the video game ads from 80's comics. The artwork was fantastic and the ad copy was usually quite clever.

I'm still holding out hope that someone has the American Chrono Trigger commercial recorded somewhere.

I was born in '96, so I can't really tell you my memories of commercials before the 21st century, but after roaming on Youtube, I can safely say that I love the creativity of some of the adds.

Anyone know where I might be able to track down good quality Atari commercials? Specifically, I'm looking for the Yar's Revenge "Jeanie's Revenge" and the E.T. "Shed" commercials. They're for the Xbox/Microsoft produced "Atari: Game Over" documentary project. Willing to pay for transfer costs, stipend for time and special thanks credit in the finished film. If anyone has any information please email me directly. Many thanks.
