Saw this on Sega-16 but it should be making the Net rounds. Gotta love bad 90's infomercials! The acting, so bad it's good.

I'm no marketing wizard or anything, but as far as Infomercials go, this one is terrible. Not in a bad acting sort of terrible, but in a this is incredibly boring and I have no idea what is being advertised here terrible. If I didn't know this was for Sega, and I flipped this on the TV, I wouldn't have a clue.

It might be bad acting, but at least it was coherant. I remember in 1994 NoA's marketers were probably on some of those drugs the PSAs told you to avoid. :P (remember "Play it Loud!"?)
There was also Atari's "The Cave" infomercial for the Jaguar. Equally atrocious yet hilarious. Neither did much showcasing of the actual products!

From the Sega video, I remember reading about the "morgue" commercial in EGM back then. First time I actually see it.
I wonder what the "other" console under the cloth was? The most obvious choice would be SNES, but it looks like it could be 3DO, NeoGeo or maybe even a PCE (even though that wouldn't really make sense). But what are the smaller boxes?
