LOL! Never really started gaming until Forza 4 - I did have quite a few games on the ZX Spectrum, and know they were blocky compared to the photo-realism we have today, but the ad exaggerated a little for cinematic effect I think
I really love how precisely they copied the ridge racer part, including the original background with the lighthouse… and a sound sample that sounds very much like 8 bit fashion. Great Ad!
I’m pretty sure these are the games they used in the ad.
Game - Dev - Year
Gran Trak 10 - Atari - 1974
RC Pro Am - Rare - 1987
Pole Position - Atari - 1982
Chase H. Q. - Taito - 1988
Ridge Racer - Namco - 1993
When I first saw what looked like a red Ferrari Testarossa, I thought Outrun at too. Then I realized it was being chased by a black Porsche 928 and the clip with the two Miami Vice looking guys pretty much confirmed that it was Chase H. Q.
