G-Police is already an awesome game, but y'know what makes it even more amazing? Its own Peter Chung (of Aeon Flux fame) directed animated commercial.

Getting a glimpse of computer and video games on UK TV as a kid in the days before GamesMaster and Bad Influence was always a treat.

This clip from 1988 of Konami's Hypersports comes from 'First Class' a quiz show that aired on the BBC.

3... 2... 1 ... GO!

For the very first time in 1995! Bad Influence gives Wipeout on PSX the review scrutiny.

Always very cool to see it with its at-the-time hype.

24 years ago, the Dreamcast hit store shelves in the USA! And it did so to one WILD ad with oodles of late 90s energy - and Sonic!

Difference Rules... The Third Place.

A #PS2 commercial I always thought was the handiwork of auteur David Lynch, but I've since read is one of several misattributed to him.

According to Lynch's own biography, only 'Welcome the Third Place' was directed by him.

A glimpse of console modding and clone consoles of the early 90s with one of the coolest looking #MegaDrive clones - The Scorpion.

It's a bit weird how it was expected that a retailer would crack open a cart to slot the PCB into the console.

Who wants to see Cat from Red Dwarf play Wipeout 2097? Well, that's what we're gonna see in this clip from 90s GamesMaster's sixth season. He's gotta fish for first place; will he do it or will he come dead (everyone's dead, Dave) last?
