hello groove raider,
I just enjoy your videos to death my good friend. I was a very young boy when most of these games came out. when the first mortal kombat game came out , I was about 6 years old. the very first game I remember beating officially was super mario world. super nintendo was my childhood and is still my life today. I cant really follow the new game systems because I like the classics better. retro rulz.

Synrom - I'm glad your're enjoying the channel. I wouldn't have created one if people like yourself weren't interested. Thank you for watching :)

dreamaker23 - Actually I did own a huge VHS camcorder to film some of the trade shows and special events in the early 90s. I've kept it real as it was back then. I find it amazing how the gaming industry has done such a poor job in recording gaming history in the 90s. Its the only reason I have this channel. To show how the industry arrived to this very day. Nowadays its about how "mature" you can get with ATI and Cell processors. What happen to taking risks in bringing new genres? Or is that beginning to happen thanks to WiiWare and Life With Playstation networks ? Don't get me wrong - I love where the technology is going but it won't survive without gameplay innovations . We're not just playing with friends in your room anymore. Its WORLDWIDE ! That leads me into looking forward to Sony's PS3 Home software. I can see this evolving into "sim life" . Btw, I play with Wii and PS3 nowadays. But every now and then I go retro and pull out my classic consoles.

Thank you so much for all of this history. It brings back memories I dont have

Dam B. You Been Around! if you were there in some of those Vids. I can picture you wit a big ass Cam-recorder...lol...Hey but nice men! Like the fact that you keep it real....Trust me, these lil punks now. Dont know what a real game is. WE CAN SAY WE SAW THE BEGINNING OF IT'S CREATION! Keep It Up....Hey What Do YoU Play Now?

Go watch my "identify this sound" video and see if you can identify the sound.

It seems that nobody has that commercial. It's like a big holy grail. Countless people have posted the rigid dead squirrel and dog commercials, but no one has posted the other one yet.

therealhardrock - sorry it took me a few days to answer you. I remember that Game Gear ad you described. I'm afraid I don't have that commercial. I searched high and low through YouTube and abroad. I guess noone has it -- as of now. Maybe in the future someone may have it on some form of media and generous enough to upload it. If I ever find it -- i'll let you know.

So, I was wondering you have a Sega Game Gear commercial that wikipedia describes like this: An advertisement was shown in black and white, with players milling about aimlessly in a dark void, playing Game Boys. A lone rebel appears with a Game Gear, cuing the narrator's comment of "The Sega Game Gear: Separates the men from the boys." I remember that commercial as a kid but have never seen it on the internet.

Therealhardrock - All the videos come from me. I've been into video games eversince my parents bought me the Atari 2600 :) My fascinations with video games really began when the 8-bit Nintendo came onto the scene in the 80s. Over the years, i've tried to keep up with the movers and shakers. I've attended many electronic trade shows and have obtained some promotional material. Whenever I saw something on television regarding video gaming - i'd video doc it onto VHS - kinda like a personal video scrapbook.

Little did I know at the time in the future i'd be able to share these clips to the world....

Lately, i've been going back into my tape collection to uncover clips I originally taped as the event happened or during a time period hence the rough break-ins in the clips - I think its more interesting that way than editing wouldn't you say ? :)
