Today, I decided to take a look of 5 of my favorite video game commericals. I really like old video game ads, since they didn't have the grafix of today's games so they had to get creative, and it's the older ads that are the most enjoyable. So without further adu let's get started.
This is a great commerical for 1 of the greatest games of all time. I loved the Mario chant, and each group has a different color. I also like seeing when the groups come togehter to form Mario's face. Through I'm not sure why the Mattel logo was on the game boxes, but oh well.
I remember recording this ad on an audio tape. It's an in your face ad proclaiming the Turbo Grafx 16 was next big system. Unfortunatly it wasn't, it got lost in the shuffle do the Nintendo, Sega rivalry and a small library of games.
Speaking of failed consoles, say what you will about the Atari Jaguar, but they did have some entertaining ads. Like this 1 where a marketing teacher shows the class about the grafical superiority of the Jaguar. There's been debate whether the console was 64-bit, and it did only have 65 games in its 2-year lifespan, but there was some enjoyment found in the Jauguar and the ads.
Sega had some of the best ads back when it was in the console buisness, and this is 1 of them. This was the ntro to Sonic, which became Sega's mascot. I love how this woman complains about Sonic and the picture of him gets more annoyed. This is a good ad.
Finally, staying with Sega, we have the 1st ad for their final console the Dreamcast. I love this ad and the console, makes me wish the console lasted longer than it did. Also makes me wish that Sega was still in the console race. I love the early Dreamcast ads cause they have the game charcters living in the console, which I'd enjoyed.
There it is, 5 of my favorite video game commericals. I'll probably doing this again somewhere down the line.
