Old school videogame commercials

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.

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?
