Atari 5200 Commercial: Pole Position HQ

[edutorox]

cool

[bazfanv2]

Was that Annakin Skywalker at the end?.

[jcgamer107]

Absolutely the best commercial of all time bar none.

[MattTheSaiyan]

If only the Atari 7800 had advertising as good as this 5200 commercial.

[CherryPiFilms]

IT WILL LEAVE SKID MARKS ON YOUR SOUL

[Linebeck6]

Lmfaoo, which one of them exploded and died?

[dudawrc]

hahaha awesome!!! Gotta love the 80's.

[swordofgenesis]

did Michel bay direct this commercial ?

[penske13]

@swordofgenesis OBVIOUSLY..michael bay had nothing to do wth this commercial because the cars actually resemble the cars of the period. OH YEA.... no love story either.

[swordofgenesis]

i was just making a joke of how much EXPLOSIONS! there are. Don't take it too seriously.

[penske13]

@swordofgenesis OH KNOW MAN ....I was being sarcastic. i know what you meant. no offense.

[swordofgenesis]

I know you were being sarcastic i just chose to respond to you in a weird way.

[penske13]

@swordofgenesis sorry bud.....it's been a long day. :)

[swordofgenesis]

Don't be sorry. it was no problem

[hilarioph]

Very funny about that commercial :-D lol

[Indead]

Dude, what the heck, I'm tired of all this dramatic epicness that we have to put in all of our games today. It takes away from what great gameplay and fun can be had. This is one of the best things I've seen in months. Absolutely incredible, at this rate, we'll never get commercials like this. Think about how many people would actually watch commercials rather than skip them with they're DVRs, if we had commercials like this.

[TOTALAwesomeness987]

TEEHEE!!

[davetek490]

That was no less than 100 kinds of awesome.

[austinon24s]

IWANTIT IWANTIT

[reel2real5]

[geforce5700fx]

[redmartian]

[FrenchToastLand]

[shadowtrooper01]

[redmartian]

I never heard of that movie either. It sounds interesting. Do you have more information?

[rottingroom]

[00MORDRED]

and then you wanna go suck them horse cocks too...you fuck bag.rottingroom...your a faggot.

[MuMastr]

it will leave skid marks on your soul... wow

[barrybob32]

wow they really knew how to make commercials back than. i mean the game wasnt all that great but damn that commercial still makes me wanna play it again

[Malfunction0982]

old school

[RetroVGamer]

the games were so bad back then you had to create exciting ads to make it seem like the most amazing game ever

[Buzztootight1990]

"No, you ain't! You gonna play pole position!"

[TenguGuy]

.....Holy shit.....we never see commercials like that anymore...in fact, we never see video game related commercials hardly ever! Maybe an advertisement for the Wii Fit, or a new violent shitty war game for the PS3, but never for a racing game. I wish they'd show more game commercials now, instead of ads for random shit no one will care about. You know they have tampon commercials on Nickelodeon?! LOL!

[IdontlikeusingLOL]

Well slutty 12 year old girls buy tampons dontcha know?

[TenguGuy]

Lolz, but I made that comment 4 months ago, why did you bother replying to it?

[phillipjennings5]

sweeeet! when does this come out!

[VideoWizard2006]

In 1982! It's been out for 26 years now.

[OmegaFuckingWeapon]

the fucking commercial was better then the game itself... how the FUCK is that possible

[JCASTILLO8155]

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!

[COd495]

u see y can't the new games can't make that FUCK YOU NEW GAMES jk

[odog502]

I like how the entire family died one by one in separate crashes. Ah, the 80's.

[TheDarryl50]

Best video game commercial ever created!

[darkdynastyclan]

[ImmortalDestructor]

Fucking epic!

[Halospagheti]

Um......

[ItaloBen]

What the fuck was that?

[SisforSachiel]

where did awesome commercials like this go?

too bad 5200 sucked

[penpen989]

i had this game as a kid and spent so much time on it. It not only left a skidmark on my soul but on my report card too, then my mom left skidmarks on my ass.

[thechocobro]

where did you find this video?

[wiifan135]

HA HA HA HA!!!!! That's a funny video

[wiifan135]

HA HA HA!!!! Great video.

[nahu090yt]

...Released in 1982 by Namco. Here, the player has to complete a lap in a certain amount of time in order to qualify for an F1 race at the Fuji Racetrack. After, the player has to face other cars in a championship race. In USA, Namco approached Bally Midway with a choice of two games. And chose Mappy while Atari was forced to go with Pole Position, which turned out to be the MOST POPULAR GAME OF 1983!!

enjoy the ORIGINAL 1982 commercial

[whattheheck1000]

and Midway lived and Atari... well, the Jag killed it.
