[Mr Azar]

Can be creepy as ****!

There is no way that's real.

Right?

Right?


That was beyond creepy.

That can't be real.

Here's a good one (SMB2) that I honestly remember from when I was like 5 years old or something like that. Probably the only NES game commercial that I remember, I don't know why I remember it, but when I saw this thread title, I figured I'd see if I could find it.

Aaahahahahahaha :D

...then they released the n64 and gamecube *burn*

[The Coop]

Well. That first one was certainly some good old fashioned nightmare fuel.


While not quite oldschool, it's still one of the best 32bit commercials made in my opinion...

Last one isn't exactly old school...but I found it to be hilarious!

That FFVII one gives me the chills, though. EPIC.

Super Mario Land 2

It got an impressive animation for its time.

[The Pezman]

Oh, I'm about to throw up the horns.

The Beetle Adventure Racing ad was interesting in that it was almost entirely game footage.

[The Damned]

I fucking loved Beetle Adventure Racing.

In two player mode, I always did this little trick on the ramps. I would hit the brake and instead of jumping and being a target for missiles, I'd slide off the edge and drop down. Anyone following would have to do the same, and risk getting nailed by my guns, or take the jump and lose track of me.

Not many people played it, and not many played two-player. I wonder if anyone else ever figured that ramp thing out on their own.

[Mr Azar]

I remember this commercial vividly:

It amazes me at how different the game ended up playing out compared to my thoughts based on that commercial at the time.

[Lovely Peach]

I remember these ones really vividly from my childhood:

I wanted a SNES soooooooooooooo bad, was 4 when it came out in 1991 and got it for Christmas in 1992 along with Turtles in Time. In the mean time I was playing Punch Out, Mario, Marble Madness, Kung Fu, and Battletoads on my NES and avoiding commercials like this:

On the 2nd commercial, anyone else notice how Mario's walking around in Vanilla Dome down un-cleared paths? Beta version perhaps?

[RedTigrr]

Now we can't talk about Old School VG commercials without bringing up the legend himself: Segata Sanchiro!!!

I know! I guess it is a beta version or maybe developer hax.

[Elex Synn]

I don't remember any commercials off the top of my head besides that Mario land 2 commercial...

BUT, does anyone besides me remember the move "The wizard"? "And a debut of a new game.. SUPER MARIO BROTHERS 3"!

*Sighs* Childhood memories.

[The Damned]

The Wizard was a commercial. A big, long, drawn out, 100 minute commercial. I think it counts.

I wish I got Mario Party back in the day :-(.

[The Damned]

Ah, yes. the original Mario Party. So many palms injured, so many controllers damaged, so many friends turned against each other...

Would play again, A++++++

[The Pezman]

The one that started it all:

I remember this one because Sonic sounded nothing like he should have.

[justinj212]

I got about 50 blisters on my palms and ruined the control sticks on about 3 controllers playing that damn tug of war mini-game.

[Kaden]

I loved those Old playstation commercials. I kinda miss the "playstatioN" voice and the "You are not E" slogan
