doubledown #1 Posted August 25, 2004 This site has a bunch of great old commercials http://www.theoldcomputer.com/Libarary%27s...rts_summary.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doubledown #2 Posted August 25, 2004 I jsut noticed something funny on these commercials. The second to last commercial "Atari 2600 Jr "The Fun Is Back"" has an error. Notice which direction the cartridge label is facing as the child attempts to insert it into the console, and then which way it is pointing when they are playing later. You think Atari would have fixed that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveW #3 Posted August 25, 2004 I've seen that site before, and it still ticks me off that most of the commercials are in cruddy Real Video format, instead of an internet standard like MPEG. I've had nothing but problems with Real's lousy Mac software, and i've never bothered installing it since i've gone to OS X. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susuwatari #4 Posted August 25, 2004 Unfortunately RM takes up less space than any decent compression with the possible exception of Divx4 or Xvid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raijin Z #5 Posted August 25, 2004 Hey kids, fuck Realplayer. http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_A...Alternative.htm Yeah, I have all of those commercials already... I have a pile of NES and a few Genesis commercials too. A metric shitload of miscellaneous eighties commercials on top of that. Le sigh, I put a few of them in my off-limits directory for IRC fun... Some great ones, namely Mario 3 and Metroid 2J. Just copy the URL from my sig and tack xemp onto it. There's more crap besides commercials, as I use xemp for uploading large files to temporarily. temp is for smaller stuff, mostly images. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max-T #6 Posted August 25, 2004 Thanks for the link! I've seen a bunch of other classic commercials on X-Entertainment, but the one for Yar's Revenge on this site has to take the cake for worst advertising jingle ever. And I love that game -- but somehow, I'll never be able to think of it quite the same... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2600Lives #8 Posted August 29, 2004 MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! The Vanguard one is THE funniest thing I have EVER seen! "Luther destroys the Gond!" I'd have changed some of Luther's "dialogue", though. "HA HA HA! Luther like veedeeo games! HA HA HA! Football! Luther hungry! Eat little brother brains! HA HA HA!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"HA HA HA! Luther like veedeeo games! HA HA HA! Football! Luther hungry! Eat little brother brains! HA HA HA!" LOL! Thanks for the hearty laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
