Old game commercials

I've wanted to see that horrible Link's Awakening commercial again for years.

...now it'll be stuck in my head for another decade or so.

I also have some others, but offhand can't remember which. I'll see what I've got.

That ad was fucking terrible and exactly why that game flopped. I remember watching it and it (A) portrayed absolutely nothing about the game, (B) gave zero info on it, and (C) set the game up for failure. Sega's brilliant marketing at work.

That'd be cool.

I have that one up at my site. :D

Shidoshi, I'd be interested in that JGR one too.

I appologize in advance for making my first post a request, but I have been looking for the Link's Awakening rap commercial for years. I googled for and it and found this relatively recent thread. Unfortunatly, it appears now that the link is dead. (Pun unintentionally written, but intentionally left.)
Anyway, could someone please repost it? Thanks.

Just because I'm a rad dude...

Sorry, had to take it down :sweat:

Get it fast, I'm taking it down sooner rather than later.

Here are a few classic Japanese Saturn, Genesis, Sega CD and Playstation ads.
