I remember that Genesis commercial. It's funny, 'cuz I also remember going to a thing back then called the Sega Play Tour. It was at my local mall, they had a bunch of Genesises (Genesii?) set up displaying various games, with Sonic as the marquee display. Next to the main Sonic set up, though, they had a SNES with Mario World, to show the differences I guess, just like that commercial.

The SNES had a line so long that I didn't even bother trying, even though I desperately wanted to play it. I played the Sonic demo over and over, there was pretty much no line for it. It totally backfired on Sega.

So the Zelda rap gets play, but not Freedom Stick (same jingle used for Supersonic). Looks like I need to fix that:

Thanks for this. I added links to Wikipedia's article, and updated it to say it worked with other systems (previously it had said only NES); also that Nintendo lost the lawsuit, as Wikipedia's entry on Camerica says they lost every one.

Some ballsy claims in these commercials.

That Freedom Stick claims you can get higher scores due to having no wires. I would think the small chance of wireless interference would actually cause lower scores.

The commercial for Sega Nights claims it is the first free flying in realtime 3D. Over a year before that, I was playing Descent on my PC. I was definitely free flying in realtime 3D. "But that was for the PC", you say. Well, a few months before Nights was released, a port of Descent was released for the PlayStation! Oops, Sega!

Haha, yeah It's amazing what they were able to do in 1982. It's sad that Atari dropped the ball after such a mind-blowing commercial.

My favorite "Have you played Atari today?" commercial. I don't know what it is about it, it's just funny to watch.

You don't see companies going at it like they did. The guy with the 5200 controller is probably realizing that it doesn't work. Or maybe he broke it...

No need to buy another system, just buy all of these expansions!

Jet Moto 2 for PlayStation:

I don't know that it's a favorite, but this was the first one that came to mind:

It's so gross, my mother almost decided to not get the game that Christmas. I also just noticed that this video caught the tail end of a Burger King commercial before the gross starts. Kinda wonder if there was some ad executive out there going "oh, no, what the hell".

Always liked this one, played all the time when I was in high school:
