Gregory DG #1 Posted May 10, 2003 Ok, so Atari didn't advertise the Jaguar enough, but there were a few neat commercials. Which one did you like best? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Iacovelli #2 Posted May 10, 2003 It has to be the teaser comerical when the first one came on durring the test market phase. Clifford come in close second followed by the Elevator one. Doom is good but not that great. (I won't comment on the infamous infomercial they did durring the last run of the jag, it was so funny it was stupid(the best thing was the girl in the comerical(the one that turned into the jaguar)) Dan Iacovelli (If I missed some,it's because I don't remember most of them (like AvP one which was good also but I hardly remember it)) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird #3 Posted May 10, 2003 Ok, so Atari didn't advertise the Jaguar enough, but there were a few neat commercials. Which one did you like best? Can it be for a specific game? Can it be a 3rd party commercial, not one from Atari Corp.? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory DG #4 Posted May 10, 2003 Can it be for a specific game? Can it be a 3rd party commercial, not one from Atari Corp.? Sure. But it has to be a Jaguar TV commercial. Were there any third party ones? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snorlaxnut #6 Posted May 10, 2003 The only Jaguar commericial I seen was one with a teacher in a classroom and I think she was comparing the 16-bit systems and the PlayStation with the Jaguar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigferret #8 Posted May 10, 2003 I thought the AVP commercial was pretty cool. The rubber "alien" hand was kinda low rent though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JagChris #9 Posted May 10, 2003 For me it would be the DOOM commercial with the possessed preacher. Way cool. But only seen it about twice. Would love to get a copy of that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GOVmole #10 Posted May 10, 2003 WOW! it would be awesome if someone compiled all these commercials onto a vhs. I was only about 13 and I don't really remember any commercial for the jaguar, the most memorable moment however happened on the school bus and there was actually a commercial on the radio! I dont remember much but i remember the mention of 64 bit jaguar and I remember it was deffinilty a commercial, and not just talk about the jaguar, and I fealt so proud and held my head high to know i was an owner of that jaguar system!

JagChris #11 Posted May 10, 2003 I was going to mention the "Drink Your Urine" commercial. I downloaded your commercials and was showing my cousin them and when it was done my cousin and I looked at each other and said 'what the?' That didn't just say that did it? Then we had to replay it. Yep, sure did. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Certain #12 Posted May 10, 2003 Is there a site on the net where I can download these commercials? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Saturn #13 Posted May 10, 2003 Is there a site on the net where I can download these commercials? Yes, at http://www.cyberroach.com/ Punisher5.0 gets credit for this link. He posted it in another thread and ironically, I just finished downloading the last one myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Saturn #14 Posted May 10, 2003 Oops, unless you were talking about the BattleSphere commercials. Anyway, +2 on the ol' post count Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, sure did. Yep, we was taking a lot of guff from folks saying we were too controversial in our development of the game, so we figured if we're going to be painted in that color and nothing we could do to change it, then we might as well take advantage of the freedom that goes along with being perceived that way. Got loads of great feedback from that commercial! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maarten Martens #16 Posted May 10, 2003 I thought the inflatable doll commercial was just so funny ... What's the drink your urine commercial about? I haven't seen that, and I'm not quite following here... Cheers, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Punisher5.0 #17 Posted May 10, 2003 WOW! it would be awesome if someone compiled all these commercials onto a vhs. There is a CD you can buy that has many Jaguar videos on it. Including commercials, game footage, sound files and a whole bunch more. Check out TAT for more info. I have the 2001 year end issue and I think the CD's are the same. You should check it out. It's definitely worth the $10. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JagChris #19 Posted May 11, 2003 T-bird Are those downloadable commercials on the Scatologic website video from the first edition of Battlesphere only? If so do you guys plan on adding new commercials showing off the new graphics of Battlesphere GOLD? That would be nice for those saving up for the next run who have never really got to see the new graphics. Give us something to remind us what we are saving our money for.

It would be even cooler if someone compiled all of them onto a CD that plays on a Jaguar? I happen to like the Stimulus Response Experiment with the Video Game Marketing the next one. Off topic: Sega had a funny one for the launching of the Saturn. I think it was Theater of the Eye. Funny part was call to the brain from the sphinker yelling, "What's going on up there?"

TheBizDude #23 Posted May 11, 2003 I just checked those out on the CyberRoach site. I agree - the stimulus exp is the best. Just like ZylonBane's avatar. The part with the 'sexual impulse' and the look on the dude's face is classic. Then the end part where he goes 'knock it off' is a spoof of the "sega". I recall Sega's commercials more vividly. That wouldn't happen to be because their marketing budget was 20x what Atari spent, would it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stone #24 Posted May 11, 2003 Were any of these commercials ever shown in the UK? I don't think the marketing 'budget' stretched to advertising over here...first and last I ever heard about the Jag was in '93 when it came out, then I never heard of it again until 2000 when I picked up my first one Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JagChris #25 Posted May 11, 2003 I just downloaded a couple commercials from Cyberroach. The AVP one brought back memories. Made me feel all nostalgic. The Lovedoll one I never seen before. Man, that one is crazy. They must have played that one late at night. However, Cyberroach does not seem to have my favorite, the JagDOOM commercial. Does the TAT site have this one? Anyone know?
