Strange that I, an American who never saw these, have nostalgia for them nontheless. Video game commercials were kinda rare now that I think about on the channels my parents made me watch. Only the occasional Mario or Sonic commercial got through.
So what I've gathered from this and the DQIV commercial is that once your franchise hits its fourth installment, you no longer have to make the commercial have anything to actually do with the game Also those Damnd and Sodom costumes are awesome
