Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

I think if you needed to pick a commercial that symbolizes all of the commercials of the 90s, this one is it.

or just after that, the announcer: "HUUGH!"

[–]Aquagoat 91 points92 points ago

I'm trying to find this commercial because I want to grove to that song, and I found this one for the TurboGrafx 16, which reminds me of the Bonestorm commercials from The Simpsons.

[–]yakshamash 93 points94 points ago

I like the part right after, when they are talking about everyone's favorite video game hero icon legend Keith Courage. There is a one second close up of the one dudes face simply saying "muwah" with a shit eating grin.

Does Reddit think less of me that I played that game?

I think more of you. Was there replay value? Did you penetrate the evil place over and over?

Depends on how shiny your courage was.

hell no i loved Legendary Axe. As hard as games were back then I completley sucked at it

I wish newer commercials were that epic.

[–]Cromiell 5 points6 points ago

"Turbo for speed, graphics for graphics."

Can't argue with that logic.

[–]Typical-R-Atheist 36 points37 points ago

1989 =/= 90's

[–]KallistiEngel 59 points60 points ago

Well to be fair the early 90's and the late 80's were pretty similar.

[–]ZeroThroughNine 13 points14 points ago

I was born in 85 and when I became intelligent enough to observe fashion and people who were "of the 80s", I was scared to death. I was happy to grow up in the 90s. Fashion wasn't about peacocking, and people weren't as retarded as they acted like in the 80s.

[–]KallistiEngel 14 points15 points ago

I think it was around 1994 that 80's fashion and graphics started dying down.

But yeah, I'm glad we got away from that too.

[–]Kamikaze_Leprechaun 4 points5 points ago

Oh god kids in 1994 are 18 years old.... oh god... (oh yeah I can fuck 'em now! [not too creepy I'm 22])

[–]hansolo669 2 points3 points ago

just a little creepy bro -_-

though I do know this one couple....

[–]CatAstrophy11 3 points4 points ago

I was born 82 and fashion didn't really change until Nirvana changed the mainstream music scene.

[–]says_why_downvoted 27 points28 points ago

Well isn't someone a picky little faggot?

[–]ZeroThroughNine 6 points7 points ago

Or that symbolized the 80s...

Here are some n64 commercials, most from the 90s I believe..
http://youtu.be/4uQj3hL9SPI

[–]IamA_Werewolf_AMA 10 points11 points ago

I'm so glad that I'm an adult now and that I wasn't while it was the fucking 90's.

[–]SpaceFloow 3 points4 points ago

http://youtu.be/geZ7I-d8jQ0?t=2m42s this needs to be somewhere...

[–]Anonazon2 1 point2 points ago

The 90s was just a period of transition between the 80s and 00s

This commercial looks more 80s anything, imho

[–]mioko 55 points56 points ago

A completely under-appreciated machine.

[–]toadwarrior 22 points23 points ago

And their portable version was bad ass.

[–]Captainpatch 13 points14 points ago

That thing was my favorite portable console for a long time because it could play the full sized console's games, though without the full sized console's internal memory you could only save by writing down hash codes. I probably still have a notebook full of passwords with game names and descriptions next to them in a box somewhere.

[–]Chrispanic 6 points7 points ago

Lol at the fact that the games were tiny chips. I still have my Dungeon Explorer passwords in an old notebook. Don't have the console or games anymore :( .

[–]Gordy_Boitano 41 points42 points ago

Fighting Street!?!

[–]KallistiEngel 23 points24 points ago

Hell yeah, man! It's one of the most popular street fighting games of all time!

[–]Gordy_Boitano 18 points19 points ago

Oh, right. How foolish of me. Excuse me while I listen to music and do the letter-box dance.

[–]SamuraiJakkass86 10 points11 points ago

It's one of the most popular fighting street games of all time!

FTFY

[–]Kayin_Angel 13 points14 points ago

It's a block south of Sesame Street. It's not a nice place, but the rent is cheaper.

[–]sillybammy 4 points5 points ago

Yes it's the predecessor to sf2

[–]Kawaii- 3 points4 points ago

For those that do not know this was actually a port of the arcade game street fighters.

[–]Aquagoat 62 points63 points ago

I'd love to know what they are listening to. It looks rad.

[–]antcruz[S] 13 points14 points ago

someone has to be able to recognize what CD it is...

[–]grunger 192 points193 points ago

[–]Asophis 127 points128 points ago

Son of a bitch.

[–]JBWill 80 points81 points ago

Fuck how did I not see that coming.

[–]williamgriffin3 24 points25 points ago

I saw it coming and still clicked it

[–]bobsmith93 15 points16 points ago

Because it's not very common anymore, and there was no evidence to suggest what it was before you clicked it.

Edit: Spelling.

[–]Sillykittyfive 72 points73 points ago

I literally just got Rick Roll'd in 2012. I thought it was over!

[–]Mortos3 5 points6 points ago

The Cake Mix is my favorite version.

[–]friedsushi87 1 point2 points ago

I still like to McRoll people. Search on YouTube. I'm on a mobile device so no link here. Sorry.

[–]stereosanctity 12 points13 points ago

It was generic 80's beatz made for the promo video. OP posted it above.

[–]Aquagoat 7 points8 points ago

I heard it on the video, but that disc looked legit, and the 80z rad beats were the same playing the whole video. I'm convinced those actors are hearing a lost gem.

[–]PROFESSIONAL_FART 41 points42 points ago

The only thing that could make this commercial more 90s is if they were both wearing Zubaz pants.

[–]DownvotingRoman_ 41 points42 points ago

[–]furendragon 75 points76 points ago

I didn't realize that pants could be so unattractive that they'd look bad on a half-naked supermodel.

[–]CaptainNoBoat 47 points48 points ago

Damnit, 90's. Anyone else hate 80's/90's thongs? You know, the ones that extend four inches above the hip?

[–]thenewiBall 21 points22 points ago

I kinda liked those... :/

[–]s4r9am 8 points9 points ago

Really? They look so.. awkward to me.

[–]TheGoomba 3 points4 points ago

That can't be poss-- god damnit zubaz.

[–]shawncplus 17 points18 points ago

Zubaz are alive in Buffalo

[–]jewunit 35 points36 points ago

Lots of things are alive in Buffalo that shouldn't be, like the people that wear Zubaz pants.

[–]RudeTurnip 21 points22 points ago

And the Bills.

[–]AstralVoid 9 points10 points ago

and the people

[–]jewunit 7 points8 points ago

One of my best friends lives in Buffalo :(

[–]williamgriffin3 25 points26 points ago

AND THE PEOPLE

[–]imareddituserhooray 7 points8 points ago

and Hypercolor t-shirts.

[–]Iable-A 12 points13 points ago

My dad used to wear nothing butt Zuba pants. I hated them so much then and so much now

I hope you know you're talking about the demigod known only as "Duane".

[–]they_call_me_dewey 2 points3 points ago

Oh god what is that from? I want to show that to my kids as a warning not to repeat the past.

[–]mikey98223 19 points20 points ago

Always pissed that GC never could play music....

[–]RedditCannibal 21 points22 points ago

And the Wii couldn't play DVDs.

[–]Battletooth 9 points10 points ago

That truly is a great disappointment. In the older Wiis, you could hack it to make it play DVDs, but with newer models (like I had), they changed some piece of hardware that didn't allow it.

I'm not highly technical so I don't know what it was, but I spent hours getting my Wii hacked with homebrew just to find out my model was TOO NEW to be able to play DVDs. Ugh.

[–]profnutbutter 7 points8 points ago

As the proud owner of a soft modded Wii, I can assure you, you are not missing much. The DVD playback is pretty lousy.

Holy shit I just found my TurboGrafx in my attic earlier today. Bonks Adventure! Yes please.

These guys are so white a snowbank stole their bike.

[–]LouisianaBob 4 points5 points ago

Riding bicycles in winter is dangerous! The snowbank was just trying to warn them but they ran off before it could explain.

[–]turkoizdog 8 points9 points ago

That guy on the right there? His hand? Is a dolphin!

[–]aggresivepanda 4 points5 points ago

i was playing music when i saw this. Made it 3x better

[–]R0sebud 4 points5 points ago

Shut. The. Front. Door.

[–]MisterMasterIV 4 points5 points ago

Is that a young Eli Manning I see on the right there?

[–]scoyne15 3 points4 points ago

I've never enjoyed anything as much as those two are enjoying...whatever the hell song that is.

[–]warweredeclared 4 points5 points ago

the cd drive actually detached from the console and you could use it by itself :)

[–]Falldog 3 points4 points ago

Guess that makes it more advanced than the Wii.

[–]gmandile 3 points4 points ago

The one on the right looks like Eli manning.

[–]ZebraNetwork 5 points6 points ago

AMA Request, one of these guys.

[–]antcruz[S] 5 points6 points ago

Am i the only one who thinks dude on the left looks like Adam from Workaholics?

[–]ReeG 0 points1 point ago

Smooth transition from the 60's to the 70's by the dude on the right.

[–]tamaleguy 1 point2 points ago

Does anyone have a link to this video? It is imperative that I know what music they were dancing to.

[–]antcruz[S] 9 points10 points ago

[–]tamaleguy 2 points3 points ago

Thank you, good sir. My day has been made.

I opened this and looked away from my computer. When i looked back, I saw these two dancing to the Hieroglyphic beats I was listening to, and almost shat myself.

I learned to dance watching this commercial. Shrug the shoulders, crack the whip, slide through water. I've since added toss the pizza and stop the traffic.

[–]little_oaf 0 points1 point ago

Their movements speak of some gnarly rad...but the lighting of the room softly whispers of homo eroticism.
