I'm still not that into the whole Y2K thing, but I miss these kinds of looks on women. Well, other than how the baggy look wasn't fully out of style yet.

DAMN us 90s kids had it GOOD. Must be one of the greatest times in human history to be a white kid outside of maybe the 50s. Possibly even better.

>>1948
I kind of wish I was old enough to have taken it all in better.

>>1889
Lol. A kid without a seat belt, sitting in the cargo area of a station wagon, on a California freeway. How would that situation turn out nowadays?

What's with the S&M themes in 90s game adverts.

I was about to say "not to mention a white man with a pretty white wife and two blond kids..."
But then it occurred to me that neither of the "parents" are blond. Then I noticed how the driver leers through his rear-view mirror at the boy in back.

That's Michael & Lilith Aquino making a pizza delivery to the Presidio

I've had the NES version of that game for a long time. It's one of the best two-player games on the system, and a lot of people completely overlook it. It's pretty expensive, but you'd think people would have given it another look considering that emulation has been around for decades now.

I was trying to look up old GPU ads but couldn't find what I was looking for. I miss the pre-renders they used to come with. (Me being a dumb kid used to think they were characters from some TV show or movie. I had no clue they were generic characters.)

Awesome compilations of Y2K themed commercials:

Not being an avid Duke Nukem player, and also being pansexual, I feel called out a bit by this.

Some fun ones

>>4786
That Kirby commercial was slick, transitioning between the animation and gameplay footage so smoothly.

>>4786
Really enjoyed the Kirby and the stop-motion one. The other one I found a bit repellant (though I love car racing).

Thanks, Anon! Please post more if you have them.

I'm not sure if this is the best place for this but Max did start out in a series of commercials before he got his own show. To repost what I said on /comfy/ and also an anon's reply:
>Interesting thing about Max is that despite the character being a computer generated character, even claimed as one to the public at one point, Max is an actor in a mask and a lot - maybe even most - of the "CG" stuff was acomplished with in camera effects with a bit of analogue electronic wizardry to fill in the gaps.

<I broadcast chromakey equipment in the 80's had a double-buffer capability (what we'd call z-buffering in vidya dev today) totalling a whopping 2MB in size (and over US$100k for that!). So yeah, I bet you're right about the technical part of it.

Those "electronic" grid lines behind him is a practical effect too. It's just reflective tape on a black background. The opening to Escape from New York used a similar effect, probably among many other examples.

I figured there was zero CGI involved. No way they had facial animations this good in the 80s. For an interesting (and amusing) look at what "state of the art" CGI looked like back then, check out Tony de Peltrie (1985).
