pcengine-fx.com - TurboGrafx commercial remake contest

[Miracle_Warrior]

Just had a thought the other day when watching an old Sega Master System commercial.  Old gaming commercials had a really terrifying aura about them.  Kids unrealistically spazzing out while appearing to flop in to an excitement induced epileptic seizure while playing Keith Courage or something always made me laugh.  The token father hogging the controller from his neglected kids while he tries to time warp back to a time where he actually knew what having fun meant. 

Anyway, there appears to be no shortage of comedians and videographers on this site, so why not put your talents to good use?  Let's have a contest where you produce your own vintage gaming commercial.  I think it'd be fun.  Anyone interested?

You go first.

I will try .  I am not all that experienced when it comes to stuff like this, but I'm thinking my kids and I would have a blast doing something like this.

Haha. It just seems like a tall suggestion to make without first submitting your own.

I think its time to post a video of my cat spazzing out for Side Arms.

I love this idea. At some point in the next 8 months I might do this.

I'm serious.

Or do a remake of this fanmade Side Arms (Amiga) commercial.

I love that! Wow. There are so many elements of this  commercial that are great.

Wait, it's an Amiga commercial/game but he's playing with a SMS stick?

I will only accept an entry from Nulltard if the dad is Ron Jeremy.

Many consoles and computers back then shared the same controller ports. You could use a Master system controller on the MSX, for example.

The "Atari" controller connecter is an off the shelf part also used by Sega, Commodore, and others.

I've always wanted to do a modern remake of the LoT promo VHS tape......but eh, never did.

This is one of the greatest ideas I've heard in recent memory. I will definitely try my best to make a kickass Turbo commercial! Or two...maybe more. They won't be remakes of the old ones though; I'm too classy to do that. These will be totally original, with my own spin on how the system should've been marketed.

By the way, this contest...will there be prizes?

haha, I could put up a small prize on my end, not sure what it would be, maybe we can put a gift basket together. 

I expect that this will take quite a while.  I will likely work on this when I get a bit more downtime in the spring, and I think some folks might be in the same boat.  Perhaps we can set a hard deadline?  Say end of the year?
