A Brief History of Consoles as Seen in Old TV Ads

[agbulls]

I hope this hasn't been posted somewhere already, but I didn't see it. This is a msn article that captures all the best commercials from the past 30 years of gaming. It's actually really well done with complete links to working youtube vids. I highly recommend it

Here's the intro paragraph with the link following:

By Danny Allen, PC World
"The first piece of tech gear that I could call my own wasn't a computer; it was a game console--an original Sega Master System. I remember it, and the often-cheesy marketing that so appealed to my eight-year-old-self, as fondly as I do my first kiss (sorry Kathryn from fourth grade). So, inspired by our recent look at old computer ads and the launch of the Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3, I've compiled a list of classic console commercials spanning three decades."

these commercials are interesting...nice eric estrada lookalike for the 2600...or is it eric estrada?

im wondering what the voice module for the 2600 was, and if that was the black keyboard thing placed on the top of the system, why havent i seen one before?
