Classic Console TV Ads

Posted by chrisd on from the intellivision-sees-all dept.

superpenguin writes "Here is a site with some TV ads for classic computers/games systems like the Atari and Intellivision, as well as games for those systems. Find out whether Atari basketball or Intellivision basketball plays more like real basketball. Some real gems here. These ads are in Real Media format."

      I've always wondered why anyone would use this piece-of-crap format...

      mpg would be best
      at least avi or wmf viewers are free (and not crap)
      quicktime bites my ass because of stupid-apple-lame-ass-programmers make the free version laggy & crappy... but still better than realmedia

      postage size video & tinny audio, was shit in '96, and is shit now.

      I wish they had gone bankrupt a long time ago... there time is past due.

    Get the Realplayer codecs from a RA player, and use mplayer instead.

    (aa du är instead)

    The site has some other good stuff as well, like: Bootup screens, Magazine adverts, and emulators on which you can run the ROMs of the classic games. Thanks to Whoeverrunsthatsite.

    yep .... it's my fault. I am the webmaster of the website. It's great to get this amount of feedback after so much work. All help it promoting this private owned site is greatly appreciated. People are free to email me more retro gaming/computing adverts in whatever format they have. On the point of realplayer format; it was the only format that the adverts were available in. Hope you all enjoy them. Regards HT
