By April 1992, you were able to get your hands on the official machine. I imagine this was peak excitement for numerous lucky kids that year.

In Xmas 1990, Commodore was wooing new users with this wall-of-text ad. I mean, I understand these were home computers and not marketed in the same way as consoles of the era, but jeez. Bit of a snooze fest TBH and not the most exciting way to present your products. 😁

Step back into the golden age of gaming with this rare Japanese TV ad for Rockman 4 (known internationally as Mega Man 4)! Originally aired in the early 90s, this commercial captures the excitement of Capcom’s legendary blue bomber as he faces off against Dr. Cossack and a new wave of Robot Masters!
