Old SEGA 'Streets of Rage' ad that would not air today

Deathsythe | September 18, 2008 | Video | Wii XBOX 360 Misc

This is a commercial for the Sega Genesis system, complete with Streets of Rage 2 cartridge. The school nerd buys this game because he's sick of getting picked on, and after playing a violent video game he becomes tough enough in real life to bully the bullies. I'd love to see anyone try to sell video games like that now.

Considering how anti-bully and anti-violence today's world is - this would never fly. Ah the 90s... simpler times.

Hang on a minute, I just realised. This article isn't even news! It's just a YouTube video for streets of rage what kind of source is that?

This whole GameGrep points system needs to change.
