From the Atari up until the Dreamcast, we (Gamer Limit) have hand picked our favorite retro gaming commercials. To get us into thne fray lets start with Atari who seemed for their time to have a rather large budget to spend on advertising.
Centipede - It’s like a D Grade Horror Movie.
Berzerk – Grandma’s like Berzerk?
Pole Position - It’s just like the real world!
Pit Fall Boy - Check out the young Jack Black.
Dig Dug - The best until last, or at least in our opinion.
The Nintendo commercials (only ones I watched) were indeed wierd but I guess it worked! Ha ha ha. The only one I can remember seeing as a child was the one for Super Mario Bros. … ahh, game commercials just aren’t made like that anymore.
That Dig Dug commercial must have cost a fortune! It’s so long!
