Remember this commercial for Coleco's Mini arcade games?

I don't remember that commercial, but I remember Mountain Dew cans having combination numbers and letters in the bottom of each can; you had to get all the numbers and letters that corresponded to each mini coleco game, then you would win that particular game. I drank way too much Mountain Dew that summer. Never won a damn thing....
 
Wow, that was a fun and campy commercial! -- some sunglass-wearing dude hanging out in the arcade offering free incredibly shrinking cabs to the other players; my favorite paid actor line comparing the mini Frogger to the full size - "it plays just the same!"

Yeah, if you never played the original.
 
pretty awesome commercial though. especially with the cheese factor. i have pacman and q*bert, which is a parker bros one. i still need to get the other coleco ones...
 
Yup....they're IDENTICAL to the arcades. That's why I got rid of all my arcade games and only collect those. :rolleyes:

You should see the Mini Reactor and Quantum.... pretty cool. EXACTLY like the arcade version too. :rolleyes:
 
Awesome commercial. I think it is funny that they never showed any actual gameplay, probably a good thing.
 
I remember that commercial from BITD. And funny... I must have been just the right age back then because imho they kicked some major butt for what they were. :)

At the 2001 PhillyClassic I held a Pac-Man contest at the show...

The competition was extreme to say the least. That was the finals and I honestly forget who won? But I'm pretty sure I still have all the paperwork from that contest *somewhere* in a tub. :)
 
I always wanted one of those, unfortunately I was stuck with this:
