Classic console advertising slogans?
« on: April 04, 2005, 04:56:45 pm »
Hey,

I'm designing MameWah layouts for my PC and eventually for a cabinet.  I'd like to include on my console emulation pages the original advertising slogans for the systems. 

Here's the ones I've  found so far:

Atari 2600: "Have you played Atari today?"
Intellivision: "Intelligent Television"
NES: "Now you're playing with power"

But now I've hit a brick wall.  Anybody remember any of the ad slogans for Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Colecovision, SNES, Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear or Sega Genesis?

Genesis: "You can't do this on Nintendo"
Jaguar: "Do the Math"


Was SNES "Play it loud" or did they start that when Sega started screaming at everyone?

NES: "Now you're playing with power"

And then the tack-on for the Gameboy:
"Now you're playing with power: Portable power."

"Genesis does what Ninten-don't" has already been noted...

I suppose PSX's old slogan doesn't count as "classic", huh?  :)  I can't think of any more.

I remember the original slogan for the Playstation was: URNOTE (or something like that... basically, "You Are Not Ready").

Any colecovision fans out there?

I loved that system so much!

Wasn't it 'Bring The Arcade Experience Home' or something of that nature?

Loved coleco.  I even play the emulated games every now and then. 

I don't remember another cross company adaptor like the coleco/atari either.

Magnavox Odyssey 2 - "The Keyboard is the Key!"

Sega also used "The power will always be there."

Coleco used "The Arcade Quality Video Game System."

Vectrex was "Real Arcade Play at Home."

TG-16 was "The Higher Energy Video Game System."

I love Sony's current... "Live in your world, play in ours."
