Probably the best commercial for the NEC TurboGrafx-16...Which isn't
saying much since most of NEC's ads for Turbo pretty much sucked.
But this commercial always stuck in my mind ever since 1989, and I had
been searching the net for it, for a freaking eternity.
It's one of the commercials in NEC's "the higher energy video game
system" campaign, but this one is almost funny. The game featured here
is Legendary Axe and there's two teenage clowns on the edge of their
seats with 'excitment'
("go back, go back, go back ,go back!") as they battle giant boulders
& bosses.
However the star of this commercial is definitely the sandwich-
gobbling dog. I was a kid when this ad came out in '89, I loved how
the dog said 'Tuuuurrrboooo'', crazily, while scarfing down a ton of
sandwiches left on the table.
I'd be surprised if anyone here actually remembers this commercial.
TurboGrafx-16 ads were few, and weren't aired nearly as often as Sega
Genesis.

Wii owners can look forward to some slightly-more-adequate web
browsing real soon now if this rumored upgrade to Opera is on the
money.
Version 2.0 - as revealed to GameReactor - will feature a new button
layout for the virtual navigation bar and will be Wii Speak
compatible. Users will be able to use a built-in mail client to access
their Wii Mail. Tabbed browsing will be supported by a floating 'tab
cube' that will show thumbnails of up to 6 open tabs.
The browser should be available for 500 Wii Points, but existing
owners should be able to get a free upgrade once the app is released
in December.
