You could be right on that, but what he brought to this thread was:
"Why do you say it was a lie? I think the Genesis did an excellent job
of bringing the "arcade experience" home. Not a total lie at all."
With that said, I agree with him, the Genesis really did an excellent
job of bringing the arcade experience home, and I don't think that the
ad was a total lie like DickRaid is trying force down 5 different
groups' throats.

Oh man, remember that bull****? About the only time I took notice of one
of those machines was back when Nintendo was just about to release Mario
Bros 3, and it was the only real way to see it in motion(unless you were
willing to go see that hour and half ad called "The Wizard"). ;)
