[falconmax4]

the thing i like about this is how its shows real life things and pictures videos and other reall stuff making the game look cool!!!!! i wonder how todays game would look like in real life like that. *imagines left 4 dead commercial* AWESOME

[kidicarus2008]

[Trainguyxx]

where do the mushrooms come into this comercial?...oh wait...the guy who produced this comerial was on them?

[iggydanzig1]

@Trainguyxx because you shoot mushrooms in teh game,

[adog262]

Actually, this commercial would have been for both the 2600 and 5200 versions of "Centipede."

[Carthsting]

music is cool.

But dick outa tv....

[ihatecentipedes]

Thanks for the ruined childhood

[natenaterson]

O_O I'm... scared.

[YoshiMario69]

lol over the top back in the day commercials, never saw 'em since I wasn't born yet =3

[111110001]

excellent

[Jp4rk]

its like some old movie :p

[bazzman7]

I love how NOTHING on that ad had ANYTHING to do with the game. But, it COULD change your life.

[martynsj]

Laughs, this is a great commercial.

[PatoKatsuragi]

this is total 80´s ¡¡ Weired comercial.... I play this game.... experience? red-blood fingers.... WHOOLA ¡¡

[Anarchy2014]

OMG :D

[expungebob]

Super hip

[keyblading13]

His frantic cries for help make this commercial really disturbing

[mignonhenne]

what is song ?

[PlaidLaiden]

It sounds just like "The Phantom of the Opera."

[deltahawk726]

thats exactly what i was thinking

[humpdebump87]

its sopossed to say help! call the exterminater

[Awkuhtay]

Great game. Funny comercial.

[ioport]

What's with the HUGE COCK that comes out of the TV and grabs him? Anyways, this commercial is totally cool. I didn't know Atari was capable of such a hip ad. Totally 80s.

[snowwhiterosered]

This is one of my favorite video games.

[tigerrabbit42]

i played this game before, too. also, i'm wondering why they're making the game look serious. the game is fun tho =). my brother doesn't like the older games...

[1gamerkid11]

you got to shoot before they moltaplie

[themangodess]

I hate how all these nice retro commercials have a fucking shitty watermark like someone owns the fucking thing.

[w3dn3sday13]

i acually have a copy of that game right beside me now... but roadrunner is the best atari 2600 game =]

[billamu]

Dona Bailey must be stoked.

[Mustang1204]

the true reason of WWII...

CENTIPEDES!

[Kargaroc286]

this is SOOOOOO fuck'in cheesy

[Mexi20000]

I have an old Atari Club Magazin from 1984. There is a record from a german Centipede Atari 2600 Player (World Final).

Attention!!!The Score is: 297517 in 20 minutes. I dont think that the X-Box 360 and PS3 Player with her High-resolution-graphics can play this highscore today. Her hands are much to slow. That this highscore is possible shows the record. All NEW X-Box and PS3 Gamer dosen't comes in the near of this record. The Atari Gamers from the 80' are the real Videogame-Masters!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ShakeITyEA]

centipeeeede... dududududu.. centipeeeede

[saltystuff]

What the fuck?

[makcccp]

Phantom of the Opera?

[BlastLeo]

hey kids if you play centipede then you turn into one.

fun!

[GeorgeO5CARHarrison]

why isnt this in our history books?

[Kakashi752]

Ah ha ha ha. xD Nice...

[chopperadams94]

this comerical probably gave littlr kids nightmares.

[unbiasedperson]

why cant commercials still be this messed up?

[ErlendYo91]

lol yeah then it would be awsome to watch em

[TheSwedishDork]

"Help! Somebody call n..."

911? Lol!

[ErlendYo91]

a centipede can talk?

[superharry626]

it was a human before it turned into a centipede dipshit

[ScottA405]

this commercial is proof that a japanese marketing firm had atari's account when these commercials were made. or some gay german like david hasselhoff

[partyartie4u2c]

i hope i get that for my birthday.

[policefan71]

That commercial just about scared the crap out of me.

[krirre]

Can i play Bioshock in my Atari 2600 ?

[atocombabaya]

YES U CAN

[krirre]

That sounds great. I hope i can use HD too. jippie! :D

[adamtlee]

anyone notice the phantom of the opera theme?

[MamoruNoHakkyou]

absolutely. :D

[callofhonor137]

Holy shit, thats one intense advertisement.

[Raltaran]

what if they made comerials like this for every game that comes out XD

stock footage!

[tamagotchikid]

imagine if they did that fir bioshock! the guy would come out of the tv with the head of a little sister! ROTFLOL!!!

[lkmetal1977]

Still no Demons To Diamonds footage on youtube? WTF?

[ryacus]

Centipede is about killing japanese centipedes bombing pearl harbor.

[djspair]

hahahha! damn thats tight!

[theSCgosu]

I play that game on my calculator :)

[therealrebelxd]

Dem nigga's was high. Fuck, i know. You can't say they wasn't. Come on! Yall just saw that shit. I got to give it up to the originality of television back then though. Hell, I love it.

[HumanTurkey]

Big centibeast. They are supposed to be weak, not strong.

[KoroOutbreak]

The hobo who gets killed by the centipede is either Les Lye (Barth the Chef from You Can't Do that On Television) or Hugh Laurie.

[EbolaMuteOne]

Wow, it kind of does look like Hugh Laurie...

[YuToobIsGay]

the music was awsome and the commercial was really wild lol

[Stafy]

Centipede is the bomb. Has a great commercial too!

[yorick8080]

holy fuck that was one of the most awesome things i've seen in years... love the music

[utteroffilth]

the  80s rocked!

[bentforkman]

This was my avorite game when I was 5.

only vaguely remember the commercial.

Pretty cool though.

[MidnightStalker187]

only showed the 5200 version. i love this commercial tho

[retrowens]

weird....they didn't even show any footage from the 2600's port of Centipede, just footage from the arcade version. Oh well, great game in both the arcades and the 2600.

[kingfridayuk]

The beginning of the ad says "Atarti 5200 Graphics Shown" in fine print. Looks like the ad was covering both consoles and, of course, they'd show the cooler version of the game.

[balletman]

In the 2600 version the mushrooms were blocks (as was the player's vehicle) and each segment of the centipede was only one color. It's funny how they used the 5200 footage for a 2600 ad. This was not an isolated incident.

[atocombabaya]

yes but at 0:50, it says in fine print at the bottom of the screen, for atari 5200 AND 2600

[balletman]

It does... but what little kid read the fine print when they begged their dad to buy them Centipede?

[JohnMontreal]

I love the 80's !!!

[videogameknowitall]

I have no comment...Really strange commercial.

[TheSandmanno5]

i know this isn't real...but you'd be scared as FUCK...if you woke up next to that shit. LOL!

[videogameknowitall]

Same here!

[marshallnothere]

same here 2
