Joey Kay Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Mama Mia! Check out this UK Atari Pac Man ad... the sounds effects dubbed over are from the arcade game. No wonder so many kids spazzed out (and not in a good way) when they got 2600 Pac Man... yeesh. http://www.tvspil.dk/cgi-bin/commercial/st...y_One_-_Pac-Man Cheers!

Nukey Shay Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Brian Dehli, I guess. It looks like that's the site's owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOK-dfa Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I don't know about the DVD but i have traded a few games with Brian some time ago. They arrived pretty quick and were in good shape and well packaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 And the commercial even includes Buckner & Garcia's "Pac-Man Fever". That's the power of hype, folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Yeah...wow...they look like they're having so much fun, it's making me retroactively have enjoyed it! Seriously, a lot of old ads showed "look how much fun these people re having!" but I think by showing scenes where the guy reacts to getting killed or whatever, it feels kind of real... Anyway, I still think it was a fun game, just a stinker in the graphics and sound and authenticity departments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcprs1 Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 There was another thread where they were having an disagreement about the ghosts being different colors. If you watch and pause the commercial, you can clearly see the ghost are different colors. Watch right before they show pac-man getting killed.

Saldo Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Did anyone view the other comercials on the site?? It's pretty cool to be able to view them. I honestly don't remember any of them, well execpt for thet one for E.T.!!! Can anyone verify if the girl in the American ads entitled "Everything I/Paul" is Elizabeth Shue, and the little girl in the Family ads entitled "Grandpa" is Alyssa Milano?? The look like them to me and their ages would be appropriate for the times. - Sal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 5 Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 The commercial for Yar's Revenge could easily be the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life on a computer monitor. The song is fantastic ! ! ! ! ! http://www.tvspil.dk/cgi-bin/commercial/st...gi?Yars_Revenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikyo Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 LOL that Pac-MAn advert is sooo funny (In a weird kind of way). Imagine watching the advert and noticing when you get it home that the sounds are nothing like whats advertised on the TV. And whats the betting some people actually thought that the song played throughout the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially just seeing her in Commando a couple days ago and that was before or just when she started Who's The Boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Holy crap like folks wern't going to be disappointed enough as it was they had to show them playing the game with authentic sounds! Reminds me of the old Coleco tabletop box for Donkey Kong I saw in a Sears catalog. Had the mini table top unit pictured with an actual screen from DK on the screen. I thought "Holy crap Thats awesome!" then I saw the actual game screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draikar Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 In that Italian commercial the dude was pushing that joystick to the limit, looked like he was going to rip the stick out of the controller... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm yes most in fact it looks like all of the people from the spots from back then use the controllers in awkward ways. Maybe it was the first time in their life that they tried one! Regards!

bcprs1 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Can anyone figure out the words in the "only one atari" jingle? Most of the song I can understand, but there is one line at the beginning and repeated in the middle that I can't make out. Hey (blank, blank, blank, blank) your favorite game. I've got invaders in my sites and I'm taking aim. Some you win and some you lose. Move on over dad, I want to play Atari too. Oh....Hey (blank, blank, blank, blank) your favorite game. There's only one name. Atari....atari...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
