Nintendo Game Boy ad - 1990

Australian ad for the then-new Game Boy (yes, good ol' chunky with a glorious monochrome display :P) - observe the not-so-subtle shift in power between the big-shot suit and the wet-eared kid...

UPDATE: For some reason, there seems to be no sound (and I remove most comments that ask where the sound is - it's an encoding error on YouTube's part and I would prefer NOT to have another go at re-uploading the clip, OK?), therefore I have included a transcript of the ad, as follows:

SCENE: Elevator - INT. DAY

Muzak. Two business-types - one considerably older and more experienced than the
other - are travelling in an elevator together...

MAN: Work on our problem over the weekend?

BOY: {looking at his Game Boy} Er, yes, cracked forty thousand.

MAN: Forty thousand? That's a company record, isn't it?

BOY: Um, think so.

CUT TO:

V/O: {over shots of the Game Boy in action} Play some *real* power games, with new Nintendo Game Boy. There's a mind-bending Tetris game cartridge included, and a whole range of other powerful games to collect.

DISSOLVE TO:

Ping!

BOY: {with a new-found air of confidence} Re-match at one?

MAN: I bags...first...turn!

DISSOLVE TO:

V/O: {over end shot of a Game Boy} The *only* power games worth winning are on new Game Boy.

@RetrovocationNation I thought the same thing, that is until I realized that the GBA changes the color scheme of any black and white Game Boy game if you play with the d pad and b button.
