Great site!

Tim Janssen · 12 March 2005, 11:48

Hehe. Great site, Fred. Seeing the Nineties commercials it partly explains the downfall of the big C in 1994.

Galaxy · 12 March 2005, 11:57

I could never work out why the bulk of C= Amiga ads were in Amiga magazines. Would have helped if they spent the money advertising in non-Amiga mags instead of preaching to the converted...

Thalion · 12 March 2005, 13:44

Another Great site:

Actually what i can't understand that there where never TV-spots in germany.
At least i can't remember. And Germany was one of the biggest markets.

Wicked site m8!

pbareges · 08 December 2005, 15:25

apart from the most popular commercials (both TV and papers) : celebrities, neighbours, MTV, A600, unfair competitive advantage, .. do you know or remember of any commercial with kind of sexy, funny, and exotic touch (i was thinking of specific foreign countries such as sweden, norway, spain, germany, eastern europe...). thx.

SWOS · 08 December 2005, 19:14

thx for the link, good site .

Bloodwych · 08 December 2005, 20:19

Great find! I'll stick these ads on my Retrobox.

One thing though - since when did the Amiga do full screen 3D rendered graphics in the Amiga 500 celebration clip?

guardiansknight · 27 December 2005, 16:26

does anyone remember the cd32 add that was placed on a billboard outside of Sega's head office in the U.K. it went something like this:

To be this good would take Sega Ages
(then a pic of the cd32 console)

it was in a cd32 mag possibly cd32 gamer

kriz · 27 December 2005, 19:47

yeah I remember it

if they only did more of these stunts!

I can't believe the 'Sunshine on a rainy day' advert has not been found and digitised. It's the only time I've seen Commodore actively promote the Amiga in TV land.

Mick_AKA · 30 January 2006, 00:28

I was thinking about that one myself! There was a Wimpy vouher promotion for miggy software id also love to see again.

Dizzy · 22 March 2006, 23:54

BlaCkAdDa · 01 August 2006, 03:57

I just remember the old ads they used to play in Australia

"Are you keeping up with the commodore, because the commodore is keeping up with you" ... or was that for the car?

Mangar · 01 August 2006, 04:28

You can find a lot of australian commodore ads at www.youtube.com

Just search for commodore or amiga.
