EDIT: After writing this I realized the thread is asking about video games so video game consoles don’t count. Video games were practically banned in China so I can’t remember seeing any ads.
I am going to talk about the ad of the my first game console mentioned in the previous post, because that was the only legitimate (in the sense that parents approve of, it was still an illegal clone of NES) game console when I was growing up in China.
As mentioned in the previous post, this company Xiaobawang 小霸王 made a smart marketing move to brand the NES clone as a machine to teach kids how to use computer (“the machine of the future”). The ad is basically going along this line. Jackie Chan is starred in the ad. The lines run like this: “when I was young I used fists to conquer the world, but now it’s the computer era, my son will use Xiaobawang learning machine to conquer the world.”
