Recently I was sorting through some of my old VHSs, looking for recordings of the first few minutes of Spice Channel movies, (you know, before the feed would get all scrambled) when I stumbled upon a caché of '80s cartoons I must have taped one Saturday morning as a kid. Immediately, I put my pants back on and began to revisit my childhood (except for the pants part). Lo and behold, there were all my old friends: Garfield and Friends, Spiderman and his Amazing Friends, Gobots... Though, truth be told, I wasn't nearly as interested in the cartoons as I was in the commercials that bookended them. Yeah, we've all been to RetroJunk.com, but some of these ads really tore open the floodgates of my memory. Like most of you, I'm a hardcore gamer, but I prefer my games aged twenty years or more. So when I saw two of the all-time rarest commercials for two of my all-time favorite games, I quickly took my pants back off, captured the footage to I.N.T.E.R.N.E.T., and posted 'em here.

Many of you probably don't remember text adventure games, let alone the fact that Valve remade one of Sierra's more obscure interactive fiction titles, Portal, some two decades later as the first-person puzzler everyone knows and loves.

And how many of our readers were owners of the Magnavox Odyssey², let alone Electronic Arts' genre pioneering Left 4 Dead? Valve would also remake this game a quarter of a century later, but not before Electronic Arts had developed a Zapper™ compatible sequel for the NES.

  • Nice work

  • Nicely done!

  • @nmcvicker03 Mind telling me where in the game anyone says her name out loud? Because I seriously doubt that they'd pronounce it any different than the developers AND GLADOS' VOICE ACTRESS in the commentary.

  • @pokemega32 Sorry, I only listened to the game and the actual character who refers to herself as glados.

  • @nmcvicker03 But it's pronounced the same as Gladys. Listen to the developers' commentary, they say it out loud.

  • @pokemega32 nope, its glados.

  • @OctoberNightUCP This isn't fake. XD

  • Isn't it just pronounced like Gladys?

  • Portal. Now available for the apple macintosh. XD

  • Portal is not as good as call of duty FAGSTS PALY IT!!!!!!
