Since I came across these last night I haven't been able to stop watching them

These are gold XD Would've been funny if the drill sergeant in the Chopper Command one was R. Lee Ermey XD

“Quick to the Atari video computer system! :rofl:

.”

Thanks to my Dad I’ve been able to appreciate a lot of these old games, my favourite Atari 2600 game would be Demon Attack. Nice find with these Activision ads MrKite. They were a good watch.

No problem. That Freeway one always makes me chuckle for whatever reason.

True story: The customer in the Ice Hockey commercial (who also provides the "ICE HOCKEY BY ACTIVISION!)(*&^%@)(*^!!!" yell at the end) is Phil Hartman. (I think the narrator's voice in the Barnstorming commercial is Gary Owens.)

I saw a lot of these as unlockables on the Activision Anthology for the PS2! =D

(And we all know the best Atari 2600 game ever made was Pressure Cooker. =p)

Excellent ads ! i've never watched them before and about the Atari VCS 2600 I've never really tried the games but maybe I'll sooner or later : thanks !

I knew that was Phil Hartman in the Ice Hockey commercial already. There was also another commercial for Pitfall which featured a 12-13 year old Jack Black.

Wow, those are some fun commercials there. I have played some of those games...especially liked chopper command and I have tried Stampede too, although I didn't like it as much. The Atari games were a lot of fun.

MrKite, I agree with you about R. Lee Ermy for the Chopper Command commercial...lol, that would be awesome!!

I think I have about half of those games. They were all pretty fun, though I never got into Skiing that much. It was kind of hard to control, as I recall.

Chopper Command was great, though. I had forgotten all about that game.
