Retro Gaming Australia

We here at Retro Gaming Australia are dedicated to trying to preserve every aspect of video gaming life in Australia. One vital component of that is video game advertising on television. Once upon a time, it was actually a rare sight to see a video game or video game system advertised on television, and the ads were usually produced in Australia. Now, you’ll see a game advertised nearly every day, and it’s usually just the US or UK ad with an Aussie rating tacked on. Anyway, we’ve looked long and hard in every corner of the Internet to dig up some old Aussie video gaming ads for you, so enjoy!

If any readers can supply us with old video game commercials, please send an e-mail to admin@thisurl. We’d prefer it if you have them in a computerised form, but we are willing to accept VHS tapes.
