A Nostalgic Trip Through Game and Tech Commercials

Fun list of classic commercials you might have forgotten about. Has any recent commercial got you as excited as some of these did?

From Gizmodo:

A well-edited trailer can make any movie look good, but Hollywood has several minutes to convince a movie theater’s captive audience that a flick is worth seeing. Advertisers limited to just 30 seconds of broadcast TV, when viewers are eager to do anything but pay attention, have a much harder job. But that just encourages more creativity.

Nintendo Game Boy (note the “OUTRAGEOUS new game: TETRIS”)

Commodore 64

See them all!
