No matter how hard you try, you can't make Breakout look exciting.

Please Miyamoto, please make Zelda DDR! :lol:

POLE POSTION!

Wohoo! Free PacMan!

The pole position add as awesome! Still can't compare to Sega's "Theater of the Eye" commercial though. :wink:

That one was actually funny! But I hope the directors relized that it looked like the family was blowing each other up...

:wtf:

Well, these aren't TV ads, but I scanned some old flyer pages in a couple months ago.

http://bicostp.portablesofdoom.org/Stuff/oldads/

There's some Toys R Us ads, a Lechmere ad, and the cover to an Atari brochure in there.

<a href="http://www.retrojunk.com">Retro Junk</a> has a ton of old ads for games, movies, TV shows, toys, food... anything they can find on their VHS tapes. :P
