I absolutely love that goofy general MIDI "vocal doo" instrument in the Tetris 2 ad. Of all the things I wasn't expecting... XD
I'm particularly fond of the GBC commercials that aired for a short while; you know, the ones with the giant Gameboys floating in the middle of a white void? They usually came in two variants: either the Gameboy was used to demonstrate the game's wacky gimmicks, or it was a playing field of sorts for the characters in the game. What always stuck out to me specifically was how there were never any GBC ads outside of this campaign, barring a few early ones and ads for the Pokemon games for some reason. Was it because the Colour didn't last that long, or was the campaign that successful? Probably the former, but they were always amusing, so it could be the latter too, who knows?
