  1. Here's some more retro ads by Skuld-Chan · · Score: 5, Interesting

    For Commodore Computers - where they compare the Vic 20 to the 2600 and the C64 to the Apple 2, IBM and Radio Shack computers,

    Commodore Billboard

    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.

  3. Let me tell you... by cscx · · Score: 4, Funny

    That Intellivision Poker and BlackJack dealer was one pompous prick-hole. Primitive virtual emotions --- he'd get pissed when he'd lose and his eyebrows would turn like \/. I believe that was one of the first interactive "people" in games that I had ever experienced.

    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
