Classic, contemporary and present videogame TV commercials

Some game commercials are so bad they're good. Remember that "Time to Slay the Dragon"
commercial for Everquest Online Adventures? It was awful to sit through back when it aired, but now it's a joy to mock.

Regardless, they're all here, good, bad and ugly. It's truly amazing that companies paid ad agencies for some of this crap. Some of commercials only worked when the market was smaller and when games were something that only us geeks enjoyed. And some of them never worked.

Here are a few gems, hand-selected just for you:

1. Resident Evil IV
   Biohazard (mildly NSFW)

2. First ever Zelda
   Commercial

3. Super Mario Bros. 3

4. Genesis Does What
   Nintendon't

5. It's time to slay the
   dragon (have barf-bags handy)
