How many arcade games had TV commercials? Keep in mind I am not talking about home ports of arcade games, but the arcade versions themselves.
I know of three:
Zaxxon 1982
Xevious 1983 (the video itself is not on Youtube, but an audio recording is)
Gauntlet 1985
Any other examples?

Quite a bit of the pinball tables that came out in the 90s had promo videos...

I found these two:
For once, the American commercial is the weirder one. Though the Japanese one still has that inexplicable creature.

That American Dig Dug commercial is almost 2 1/2 minutes long. Where would have that even aired? Maybe before a movie in the theater?

You're right, I took a look at the channel that uploaded it and it's all about theater features. Man I need to take a pause from posting these days, I didn't even notice it was a topic specifically about TV ads...

Seems that most of the arcade commercials were done before NES-mania exploded around the world.
