Like the one where the fat kid hit himself in the head with a dead animal so he could see color on his gameboy. :lol:

That sounds familiar, not sure I remember exactly, but definitely familiar. Sega did a good job in the beginning of making people want to buy the Saturn. Of course the classic "SEGA" rounded it out at the end.

that ending "SEGA" quote changed drastically over the years.. personally i enjoy the original with the longer ring to it, not the new quick high pitched one..

Yeah, it screamed SEGA!!! and that was it.

I also liked the ad where the dog was looking at the gameboy and gamegear, and the voice says (if you were color blind you woulden't care which portable you played). That one rocked.
