I'm only messing. Mine was gooseberry fool anyway.

Your topics are NEVER gooseberry fool.

The PD advert seems to be showing off the low framerate. Strangely that never bothered me at the time.

GameCube launch advert:

Love the TIE Fighter bit.

Always loved that music.

www.datadyne.com and www.carringtoninstitute.com were legendary. Me and my mates used to post loads of stuff to rare from there, fake security reports for the carrington institute for example.

And what about the Nintendo 'schools out' campaign from Japan?

I tell you what the best advert was. I received a promo package from Sega in the early 90's when they were building up pre-launch hype for the MegaCD. The advert was brilliant. If there was a way I could upload it from VHS tape to YouTube I would...

Anyone got a link to the FIFA PS3 add from Super Sunday on Sky?

There are devices out there you can use to record from VHS to DVD. From there you could go to YouTube.

That's strawberry floating awesome. WOOOOAHHHHH, POLE POSISTION! That song rocks. I wonder if its an original Atari ad song, or was used from somewhere else...

Also, looks like we know where Lucas got his Anakin Podracing look from!

I love the way Pole Position seamlessly cuts between the live action stuff and the ingame graphics. :lol:
