80’s Australian NES Commercial Will Haunt Your Every Waking Moment
You know, the NES never really caught on in Australia. It was always Master System/C64 country. No wonder, when you look at horrific, blankie-clutching stuff like this.

I expect it probably sounded much less ‘all your base’ when it was in Japanese. Really does make sonic the hedgehog look cool by comparison.
So glad I didn’t see that as a child…
I don’t remember this, only the ads they stole from the US later on, and the various Sega ads.
I also think it’s awesome how the kid shoots the Zapper at everything except the screen.
@JuliunGaloodle:
They were pretty even, which led to the suburban primary-school equivalent of gang warfare… lots of ‘Sega’ kids and ‘Nintendo’ kids; any rich kids who owned both were factionally uninteresting, and thus to be shunned. a bit like the UK, if the games mags of the time were any indication.
