Random, I was JUST about to post this in the random vids thread, but thanks for creating this topic asit might fit better here. The article is awesome. Can anyone guess which era this commercial is from?

www.Retrojunk.com has tons of commercials for video games from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. I loved the Atari commercial in the article, I've seen it on retrojunk and thought, wow, those people really need to calm down...

It was all about PONG!! I remember when that came out and I was like OMG!!!! It was the most amazing thing that I have ever seen!! I used to play that for hours!!

LMAO! The Sega Saturn one was the best!

 

Great find. I'm not that much of a gamer, and I still clicked on every single one of those videos.

 

EDIT: I take that back. The patriotic Dreamcast commercial was.

I find it ironic how most of those systems costed more than the Gamecube did.

 

 

EDIT: Jeez! I can't even remember seeing the XBox 360 HD DVD commercial!

^You can't beat the cart price though, we now have games going back up to $60 prices now!

 

Curse inflation!

...and I continue to have nightmares from those sick and twisted PS3 commercials.
