I'm not a big fan of this type of stuff but it has a couple of funny parts.

Those guys don't happen to be the same guys on the cover of this do they?



I always forget how bad adverts were back in the day, but I think the games they showed did show off the Turbo pretty well...just those two guys dancing to the CD add on killed me :lol:

The riffing part was ok, I guess, but like you know I'm not a big fan.

lol this is the kind of response I expected. the video was done by pat the nes punk and some others. I think he should stick to the goofy reviews rather than the riffing.

It wasn't bad, got a few laughs from it. As cheezy that infomercial was, it was typical for the time.

Yeah I'd consider the acting of the two goofballs pretty cheezy.

I absolutely love all old video game adverts they are brilliant and the Turbo ones especially this one are some of the best, This is when you used to look at things with actual anticipation and excitement......They never get old.

You notice the current Zelda advert has retorted back to live action like all the classic ads were.

The first Zelda advert was bizarre. Some dude running through a dark hallway or something going tek - tek !

These 2 commercials both made me want the games. One shows game play one doesn't show any at all lol.

That Secret of Mana advert is pretty nice. In the UK we didn't really have too many TV adverts for videogames during the early 90s (at least not many I can remember), and even now there are only the odd occasional advert for big releases and they end about 2 weeks after release date.
