GameAds (http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_games_commercials.asp) has over 2000+ video game ads for you to check out. Anything from the classic Sega ads to the Crash Bandicoot ads up to modern day ones.

Pretty sweet...I loved the old Sega Genesis Ads.

Thanks Pikuru (http://www.pikuru.com).

Holy shit, look at William Shatner and the VIC 20. I owned one of them (the VIC 20, not William Shatner). I had a choice between a Sinclair Spectrum and a VIC 20 and I went for the latter. What was I thinking?

Ahhhh, blast processing. Early precursor to Sony's hardware marketing philosophy.

Anybody remember the old Legend of Zelda commercial where the cool kid and the nerdy kid rap about how awesome Zelda is? Shame it's not on that site.

Man, those bring back some memories. I had a buddy in high school who got the living crap beaten out of him because he wouldn't stop saying S-e-e-e-e-e-ga S-a-a-turn in that crazy goat voice from the commercials.

LMAO!

PS2 has the EMOTION ENGINE! Now with more Jaggy edges than the Dreamcast!

PS3 has the Cell Processor! It will age your videos like a fine wine and rape your mom for free!

They've got the banned hitman (http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=1963) ads (http://gameads.gamepressure.com/tv_game_commercial.asp?ID=1516)! The stuff of legend!

Most of this stuff is crap. Nothing can stand up to the awsome force of Segata Sanshiro!

There was a commercial for Mario Brothers (Atari) on Retrojunk.com that was great...

"MARIOOOO WHERE ARE YOU!"

Damn. Seeing the Link's Awakening commercial brought back some memories. That Zelda rap has been stuck in my head since 1993. I'm glad to finally hear it.

The Ulala Maxi Pad ad is classic. Had Sega run that in the US, the console wars might have changed forever, and we'd all be doing games for the Dreamcast 2.

You owned a William Shatner? What did you do with him (and keep it clean)?
