Wow, trip down memory lane, there. I remember the Sonic one, Super Mario World (I think there were a couple of commercials for that game, actually) and FF2. I honestly can't recall the last time I saw a newer game commercial. I use DVR for the 1.5 shows I actually watch on TV, so I don't see many televised commercials these days. It was probably for... Halo or some other FPS I have no interest in.
Kaloes brings up a good point about the older commercials not showing much of the actual gameplay. Good reason, too, but it makes the older commercials much more creative, I think.
Now that I think about it, I believe there was a Star Fox commercial and possibly an Earthworm Jim one, too. If you want to go way back, Atari had some interesting commercials. Berzerk, Pole Position, uhh... some others...
