I have a lot of fond memories of gaming ads from the 90's, back when the only demographic was 5-25 year old males, and the adverts reflected this, here are a few of my favorite retro gaming ads,feel free to post your own.

Oh my gosh, the Lynx is bigger than a game gear! How did they get away with calling it portable?

Speaking of which, there's a better way to get color:

I am way too lazy to think of something clever.

Ha, you can't beat the old console wars where they would actually name their rival in the ad when dissing them, or in this case actually show a Gameboy whilst dissing it, it would be insta-lawsuit nowadays.

This advert is just too awesome -

Stevie, the music in that centipede ad freaked me out, the 80's scare the crap outta me. D:

Best Zelda commercial ever, from Japan of course.

And if you want a closer look at those crazy dancin' steps, you can watch this girl recreate it.

Twitter is a good place to throw your nonsense.

Damn, that girl can dance. Her other videos are also quite good. Almost makes me want to get Happy Happy Dance Collection and film myself!

I can't believe it was Randy in that Ad, his manorisms have not changed at all.

Here is another crazy Sega Ad for the Saturn that claims it makes your sphincter tighten, really.

Holy crap, a Lynx ad? I doubt you'd ever be able to get four Lynx owners in the same room without flying them in from throughout the country after a months long search.

I remember this Wario Land commercial where Wario was saying "Hello, it's-a me, Wario. No, not that pretty poster boy, Mario! Wario." It wasn't any of the more popular ones like the "hypnosis" commercial.
