Found on Slashdot -- and no, I didn't read the discussion, thankyouverymuch -- The Old Computer Dot Com | Libarary's | Retro TV Commercials:

Welcome to the retro computing TV commercial's section of the Libarary's. In here are a collection of (low quality) TV advertisements from the 1970's and 1980's. Looking at these old commercials reminds you of how basic these games were, in most cases the advert was the best part..... judge for yourselves. To stream these you will require Real Player, you can also just download.

I'm too old-school to link directly to video files on someone else's server, but anything with George Plimpton is good. Unless you're too young to remember these things, in which case you will fear and hate your elders for their bizarre tastes. And that's how it should be.

Steve Cartwright was responsible for Megamania, and was credited as such at the end of the advert. I'd forgotten Activision used to do that. I mean, I rememberd they had credits on the games themselves, but not in the commercials. Cool.
