The first time I noticed video game commercials was when they started advertising for FF7. However, they had been making the damn things for a LONG time now.
When I was looking over old Kotaku articles I noticed this beauty of a list.

Notice how the Philips CDi commercial was better than the Saturn one.
Also a favorite was the 1993 Atari Jaguar Commercial for Alien VD Predator (last commercial in the video clip) Holy crap that was pretty damn violent and freaky...
So take a look at how advertising companies who know nothing about video games have screwed up video game ads throughout the ages!

The JagDOOM ad was quite brilliant too... Oh, and about those games of yours you created while in school, uhm, any chance of seeing them?
Like I said I gotta dig through my old computer stuff. (I just found my original copy of Ultima 6/Wing Commander CD a few weeks ago)
I have a ton of old 3.5 floppys and I did not get the whole concept of "labeling" them back then.
I don't think my current 'puter even has a floppy drive...
So I gotta hook up the old P2 and get it back in action.
Worse comes to worse I will turn the crank on the old 386 to see if any the files are on there...if not I think I still have Quest for Glory 3 on that bad boy...
DON'T get your hopes up. My parents throw away my teenage memories easily.
Plus I am going to see if I can get a new project going sometime soon...
