This is not a signature
Watching it now, it seems better than I remembered it. I still don't think it was a great advert thought. I didn't really show much of the CD32 or what it could do, and I think the big brained cyborg playing the game was a bit cheesy.
As for it being the most expensive gaming advert ever made. Hardly. I can't see it would have cost that much at all. Couple of TV actors, some flashing buttons and lights, dry ice and a robot/cyborg suit.
If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!
The advert is not bad, but the cyborg is indeed a bit out of place.
