Back then advertisers were kind of fun, rather than just irritating (see: Taco Bell). Below are a few YouTube finds of some ads that I pulled at random to remember the good old days.

    Watching the Nintendo Power one reminded me of an article by the guy who runs seanbaby.com (Sean?). Anyways, most people are probably aware of the site, but he has a pretty funny NES page, including articles where he teases people who wrote into Nintendo Power.
