TurboGrafx-16 commercials?
« on: March 27, 2014, 12:09:18 PM »
Since I always end up finding "new" commercials for the Turbo when casually browsing youtube, I thought it would be cool to have a thread where we (try to) list all commercials aired in the US... maybe even JP ones.

I'll begin with the 8-bit vs 16-bit Adventure Island from TTi that I found today:



(sorry if there is a similar thread but I couldn't find it)

For one of the better looking games on the system, they sure should a dull level for the comparison.

Anyway I think we've done one of these threads before but I don't think I've seen that ad. There are some awesome PC Engine ads as well, but I'm too lazy to dig up the thread.

EDIT: Well I gave it the old college try and couldn't find the thread. Here's the PC Engine commercial playlist though.

I never saw this!  I love the animated Bonk scenes.  Also amused by Hani in the Sky and Gunhead in Sadler's post.

The video I saw the most was probably the Lords of Thunder promo video, my friend actually got a copy when it was new, he still has the tape I think.  And you can't forget this classic:

Hey Yandman,

Your link was broken, but I found this one with a quizk re-type. These commercials made me Turbo-Crazy when I was a kid, especially the Legendary Axe commercial:

! No longer available


That was great!

Can someone tell me if this commercial was a reworking of an earlier commercial? Thanks in advance.
