Ancient Video Game Commercials Unearthed!
Someone either has a lot of free time on their hands or is clinically insane, but over at GameAds they have over 2000 video game commercials for you to check out. Everything from the insanely old (the TV commercial for the original Vectrex(!) system), to the moderately old (my favorite "Genesis Does What Nintendon't"), to just the other day (Episode III commercials).
Make sure to check out just about every single "top rated" commercials, including the extremely strange/bizarre Japanese TV commercials. And that French Resident Evil 4 commercial? Big ... Time ... Freaky.
How long do you think it's going to take me to watch all 2422+ commercials? I guess I'll find out...
awesome. Thx steve

And of course, there was Microvision (to which Vectrex was competing). Don't even get me started on the live telecast first moon landing.
