Early Mario commercial is horrifying

Retro Junk has a great old TV ad for Mario Bros. for the Atari 2600 and Atari 5200 (Atari 5200 graphics shown. Love
it!). I think I remember seeing this thing back in the day. The production value is just astounding(ly bad). Worth a
look if you:
1) Love Mario/Nintendo
2) Want to recall the days of no socks, and pink ties.

UPDATE: It looks like the site is getting hammered now. Anyone have mirrors?

I've been visiting Retro Junk for quite a while now... You should all check out the first Zelda commercial... Now that is horrifying...
"It's the Legend of Zelda, and it's really rad. Those baddies from Gannon are really bad."

What is amazing is that the game is such a success DESPITE advertising like this.
Reminds me of the early Zelda commercial rap song.
