I remember buying the playstaion and it came with a preview disk, and philosoma was on there as a trailer. I was blown away by it. Never played the actual game. I'm sure it was no good. But the trailer left an impression.

My recent favorites have been:

Gears of War -- Theatrical "Mad World" commercial (really worked well on big screen, whole theaters went silent until they figured out it was for a video game)

Assassin's Creed -- "Massive Attack" commercial

some of the Halo 3: Believe commercials, e.g. this and that.


I realize they're all recent, but I think recent video gaming adverts have stepped up away from either the childish-dorky-awesome or the teenage-nerd-awesome.

With that said, I will always have a spot for the original LOZ rap, the performance artist LOZ commercial, Mike Tyson, Sega Game Gear dog, Game Gear squirrel, Phil Hartman's Ice Hockey, Pole Position, Atari's Fun is Back and that C64 commercial: "all my friends are knocking down my door/just to get a look at my Commodore [boom boom] sixtyfour".

Nice mention of the LOZ rap Bobak, I think this one might be a bit better though..

Also, gotta throw in some classic SNK/NES love with the epic Crystalis advert.

It's so fucking sad how the lyrics to that rap are still in my head.

Z-Z-Zelda

I knew exactly what you were talking about, but its the original (non-color) Link's Awakening, not LttP. I loved that game.

[EDIT: wow, on rewatch this was bad-bad; though it would be funny if that kid grew up to be someone famous like 50 cent]

The "Fun Is Back" promo is now in my head. Thanks man. It's taken years to forget about it and now it's back in

Even after all these years, I can't hear the term "fifty bucks" without muttering in my head "under fifty bucks!?"
