Wreck it Ralph vintage commercial

Pretty well done, but I never heard any bragging about "bits" until 16 bit.
 
Has anyone else wondered if Disney came up with this after seeing the arcade interest that popped up after TRON Legacy?

You are perfectly, spot on. I was aware of arcade advertising then and long before that era and "bits" never came into it until Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo. Good eye/ear.

And on this, Disney is working US - you and me - on this movie. It is clearly aimed at us and our kids if we have them. There's no other way to look at it.
 
I particularly like the fake "videotape" effect and false aging of the footage.
 
Right, because the entire industry was all 8 bit right up until it was all 16 bit and all the bit posturing amongst the console was silly and often based off sound chips or things other than the main cpu.

8 Bit was never a thing to brag about because 4-bit systems almost never existed in the first place (they really only existed in the early 70s as a budget solution and had already been surpassed in processing power years before they were even introduced).

8-bit bragging rights is only significant for nostalgia.

Actually, the Intellivision was 16-bit, and several 8-bit consoles came out after that..

But I will agree.
I don't remember anyone saying "Get the Intellivision, it's 16-bit!"
In fact, I didn't even know it was 16-bit until a few years ago.

I agree, the Sega Genesis was the first I remember hearing the phrase 16-bit in ads and such.

Precisely what I was about to say, hell even the nes is 6502 based, it has same processor power as many arcade games, atari vcs uses a 6502 as well matter of fact, not to me.ntion a ton of atri arcade machines and gottlieb stuff. 6502 foe life! Lol
 
I would have to look at the schematics etc but I am curious what the atari vcs (2600) has for grphics cpu if anything?
I know the nex has a seperate graphics cpu, and that the main cpu is 6502 based but a modified version with a built in sound synthesizer, and some stuff removed that they did not need.

But the sega genessis/mega drive also has a 8bit z80 cpu.... maybe its graphics chips is 16 bit? Ahh it has a seperate 68000 which is 16bit, I see what you did there.
