I never had the opportunity too but that sounds really fun PB ;) That was cool MB one there :schal:

Here is two Sega Genesis commercials that are variants and both are basically 30 years ago depending on how you see it :scbat: :scww: :scsm:

This is from 92, this version of the system is the first one I played when My Grandma rented it for Me in 92/93 for Easter at Our usual Blockbuster Video across the street from Walgreens that you saw in My Glory Days of Video Rentals showcase :)



Here is the 93 version and this is the system that I have :)



Remember when kids (US) were like this with Our friends...gosh I miss those days :roll:

I used to rent the Genesis too just to play Bulls vs Lakers and Madden. Not sure when I finally got one, it must've been around 92-93.

I like this one because there's a couple actors from Gremlins 2. Remember, no Gremlins in the projection booth!

Damn, I love that scene!

That is cool just for that :o Ah yes Hogan's cameo, it's a darn good scene but could you believe his scene was deleted on the VHS version :shock: It still boggles Me to this day :?

That was a cool commercial, never seen it before. Oh that was Dan & Don Stanton. After G2: TNB in 1990, they were in 1991's T2: Judgment Day. They were also in 2003's Looney Tunes back in Action, I don't recall them in anything else after that.

Speaking of 1990, here is the great White Castle one, White Castle is arguably My fave of all :scbat: :scww: :scsm:

I"ve only had White Castle once, on our honeymoon in San Diego and that was because Harold and Kumar was popular so we wanted to try it. It isn't a chain that is located anywhere nearby.

Come on, Pookie!



Speaking of local, Mighty Taco is a local chain. Just saw this this year.

Gosh, only once :roll: Wow, you got a great Honeymoon memory there PB ;) Yeah, unfortunately their not everywhere. I feel for you cause they are so good. If I had an option to eat at any burger place right now it would be White Castle...they were My Grandpa's fave and they really became Mine as well. You haven't had a big meal till you have their Double Sliders, Cheese Fries & Onion Rings, Chicken Rings, Mozz Sticks & Fish Nibblers and their Marinara is so good too. I might have been a McDonald's kid but I became a White Castle Guy. This reminds Me, later on I'll have another White Castle to showcase in My Vintage :)

NOTE: It was so cool back in the day cause We'd shop at Venture and then go right down on Kingshawy, there was McDonalds and right next to'em is a White Castle...sadly Venture has been gone nearly 25 years now but those two are still there...I have a lot of childhood history over in that area :)

Oh that was sweet of that local Taco chain you have there, I bet their fantastic and that was really good PB :schal:

I do love Jack in the Box however...My Grandma used to call them Jack in the Crack...this one was from 1997...25 years ago this year...one thing that always puzzled Me...so many burger places only have Breakfast food in the morning like McDonalds stop serving their's by 11:00AM...JITB serves it 24 hours a day/7 days a week...why not do it there I mean their great and it's a total no brainer :?



INCOMING :scmm:

Here is these Atari ones including E.T. for his 40th...




A Christmas Japanese Sega Saturn commercial...oh its one of the few game systems I always wanted that i never got but who knows, maybe one day ;)



Here's this Sega Saturn Christmas one...



And then here's this....

Those were all really good. You don't see many game commercials anymore. I guess they sell themselves now.
