TurboGrafx-16 commercial

[handygrafx]

I just found one that I haven't seen online before:

it starts at 4:18     

shows Keith Courage and is very similar to the other TG16 television ads.

[Keranu]

Wow, good find! I haven't seen that one before, that's really cool! This isn't the commercial that you've been trying to find though, right?

[Turbo D]

I don't think keith courage would drive my cat crazy 

[schnuth]

I'm didn't know Keith Courage abused pets.  That sadistic MFer!  Nice find, these old commercials really take me back.  I haven't seen that one either though.

Ahhh scratch 'n sniff.... so '80s

[Turbo D]

didn't you guys play the level where you have to murder a jack load of cats to get some cash to buy a laser sword from your so called buddy? 

[Keranu]

Haha yeah I remember that. My favorite part in Keith Courage is when you're playing as Keith and the game FORCES you to walk across hot lava and get hurt. How hardcore is THAT?

For the first year or so after I got the TG-16 (it came with KC, obviously) I thought there had to be some kind of secret way to get across that stuff without being injured. I thought if I jumped in between the eddies of lava I'd escape unscathed. I spent hours trying to time my jumps just right.

you're right, it was not the commercial I've been trying to find (that was a Legendary Axe commercial),  I found the one I posted while searching for 1989 videogame commercials.    the search continues .....

[guyjin]

notice the hucard they insert at the beginning is blank.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

notice the hucard they insert at the beginning is blank.

.....and then mysteriously turns into Keith Courage.



Must of been a prototype flash card. 

[Gentlegamer]

notice the hucard they insert at the beginning is blank.

What a crappy surprise for it to turn out to be Keith Courage.

[Golgo13]

That is really old school.

Its hard to believe that they can make Keith Courage seem so intense.

[nat]

Woah. Talk about a blast from the past....

I swear to God I remember that Tide commercial.

[Carbon Tiger]

(chuckles)

Don't see ads like that any more

[Sinistron]

Radioactive fish.  That's pretty turbo.

[2X4]

A heartwarming reminder that the turbo didn't lose because of inferior capabilities.

[Ceti Alpha]

Haha. Cool video.  Yeah, the Turbo ads were terrible.  But it was fun to see all those other ads I had forgotten about. The A&W commercial was great. That ad was on all the time. The A&W theme is going to be stuck in my head all day now.  And it's kind of depressing seeing Bay (HBC-Hudson's Bay Company) ads back when it was a Canadian company.
