- pisseddog, on 08/29/2008, -2/+24I'm not sure if this counts as a commercial but it's pretty sick... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Xfqkdh5Js4
- flapanthers87, on 08/29/2008, -0/+16Genesis does what Nintendon't
Edit: Ethan ***** Suplee! - grav80bong, on 08/29/2008, -0/+15I was brought here solely by the fact that Mr. Perfect was used as the image. Well done submitter.
- InfinitySnatch, on 08/29/2008, -0/+14I like how the video is more pixelated than the old school games.
- belebih, on 08/29/2008, -0/+11Wow, it's the fat dude from Mallrats in that Game Gear commercial. He should have tried that same trick at the mall in order to see the sail boat.
- alight, on 08/29/2008, -0/+9Willam!
I love that guy.
He's also Randy from My Name is Earl. - inactive, on 08/29/2008, -1/+10Oh man, those Game Gear ads I think I saw like 5,000,000 times when I was younger. They played non-stop on the telly.
I was hoping to see a Dr. Mario ad or the ad for Tetris with 2 Russian bears. Oh well, those were all awesome. - 8bitflu, on 08/29/2008, -0/+7Once a Week? Did you have some kind of special batteries? I would play Sonic, and every time I got the last guy, it started going dead and I wouldn't be able to finish the God Forsaken Game. Ughh.
- 1shawn, on 08/29/2008, -0/+7OMG 16 BITS!!!
- thatsmyaibo, on 08/29/2008, -0/+6The Game Gear was cool. I even had the TV Tuner. SEGA has a way of being ahead of its time...unfortunately it took 6 batteries to operate and they needed to be replaced once a week.
- etgoboom, on 08/29/2008, -0/+6i dont think the jet moto2 commercial would be airable in today's Politically correct world
- PleaseJustDie, on 08/29/2008, -0/+6I had a rechargeable battery pack and the TV tuner.
I loved the TV tuner for that thing, it made long drives and camping trips soooo much more bearable. It was always fun to have it plugged into the cigarette lighter during long drives and as you pass cities just spin the dial to see what's on...
I even bought a little coax to mini-coax cable so I could hook up a VCR to it, hell I even had my snes and playstation playing through the tv adapter on my game gear. Only problem is you can't read the text on FF6 cause the tiny liquid crystal display is too small and not clear enough. - ChayD, on 08/29/2008, -0/+516 bits? Luxury! In my day we only had four.
- luke16, on 08/29/2008, -0/+5I wish game commercials were still like this. The only game commercials we get here show a ***** pensioner trying to get a high score on Doctor Ichi the Killer's Brain Accademy.
What happened man? Bring back cool commercials that make no sense. - Clark1984, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4What does the robot do?
- themastersb, on 08/30/2008, -0/+4if only the Game Gear didn't take 6 AA batteries and only last a few hours. It would have actually been the better handheld.
- LeonHRodriguez, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4...mushrooms.
haha they're just like my parents - ventralnet, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4Am I the only one that noticed after the game gear commercial you get about a second of the simpsons
- username7410, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4Genesis Does!
LOL - inactive, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7xEFRUHV-U&feature ...

Mario chant video... - JollyDumple, on 08/30/2008, -0/+3http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om84Zc4-KcQ
Just wanted to put that on here. - DarkStryke, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz2z-ZbcxT0
- inactive, on 08/29/2008, -3/+6Yes some of us actually grew up during this time period.
- disappointed, on 08/29/2008, -1/+4I guess the Japanese like video games. Who knew?
- inv1ctus, on 08/29/2008, -0/+316-bit SPORTS ACTION!!!! Ohhhh yeaaaaaaah
- sekots29, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3That's Perfect!
- inactive, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3Well, you could still use eight AA Batteries and get like, what, 20 minutes of life?
- inactive, on 08/29/2008, -1/+4where is the old school mario 3 commercial with all the people chanting "mario"?
i remember it being cool but it was probably totally lame. - LeadStripes, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3Yoshi's Island Fat Man is a Mr. Creosote rip off
- ej1oo1, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2The Game Gear was bad ass i played sonic on it when I was a kid for like a billion hours and I had an ac adapter to solve its battery crisis.
- Braxford, on 08/31/2008, -0/+2buffering...
- LeonHRodriguez, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2I was really hoping they'd show the Metal Gear Solid "suicide mission" commercial :(
- WHOOMP, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2HOT HITS TODAY, HOT HITS ON THE WAY
now that's what I call a slogan - luke16, on 08/29/2008, -2/+46:17 - guy from 'My Name is Earl'
He has come a long way. - Dr00pieS, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2It's not a schooner. It's a sailboat.
Idiot... - ryborg, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2Check out the drug reference at 9.20
- Shaflugi, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2Shoryuken!
- BrotherHero, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2What's with all the Japanese commercials?
- krisscofield, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2Do you mean "SEGA!" ?
- deaftly, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2Dreamcast always had the coolest commercials
- Gonasadude, on 08/29/2008, -1/+3SEGA DOES WHAT NINTENDON'T
- NeiloMac, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2Ditto. Curt Hennig FTW.
- 1807, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2Who the ***** was watching Japaneese Commercials?
- bensone1, on 08/29/2008, -1/+3wow looking back on 989 studios... FAIL
- krisscofield, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2That Jet Moto 2 commercial is responsible for getting my Dad to laugh, and consequently buy it for me one Christmas. Thanks Playstation :)

Best one ever - Dr00pieS, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2Perfect
- rollerboy, on 08/30/2008, -0/+2Don't copy! Don't copy that floppy! Don't, Don't, Don't, Don't...
- Shaflugi, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2Get a new Gamegear, I think they're pretty cheap on ebay.
