This edition of Craziest Commercials focuses on the ill-advised edginess Sega injected into each and every one of their Genesis ads. From mosquitoes used to show how Nintendo bleeds you dry to the completely inappropriate tactics used to market the 32X, we trudge through it all and remember what happens when raditude and rivalry gets out of hand.
1) "Genesis Does!"
I miss ridiculous theme songs for consoles....
Since when is the Genesis a "fighting system"?
3) Blast Processing
Blast Processing is the early '90s version of Percepto -- and just as real.
Perhaps if the camera wasn't focused on the Genesis screen, the kid might have changed his mind....
Wow, Santa sure hates fun.
It's official: Blanka can sooo crush Mortal Kombat.
Not only does this completely misrepresent this version of Aladdin, Capcom didn't even make the Genesis edition, and therefore, it's inferior.
8) Sega 32X
And here begins the sad story of edginess taking over good marketing sense....
Do you think this commercial would air this way today?
10) JVC X'eye
The only Sega CD/ Genesis combo that's worse than the original front-loader model.
11) Comix Zone
No words can describe how wrong this commercial is about everything but Comix Zone.
12) T2: The Arcade Game & Sega Menacer
I will not stand for further misrepresentation of aunts!
13) Burn It!
Do not burn your SNES because some creepy coroner says so.
14) Nintendo Will Suck You Dry
I always saw Nintendo's price as a mark of quality.
15) Return of the 32X
Yes, two 32X commercials. It is just that good.
