Now on GameHistory.org, it's the Sega-Gremlin Marketing Archive!

https://gamehistory.org/sega-gremlin-archive/

This is a priceless collection of early-80s marketing videos from Sega Gremlin, most of them entirely new to the internet. This collection offers a rare glimpse at how arcade game makers sold their games to actual arcade distributors. Still images like flyers are easy to come by, but actual video like this is all but lost at this point.

From The Video Game History Foundation's Sega-Gremlin Marketing Archive. Learn more at https://gamehistory.org/sega-gremlin-archive/ This is from "Tape #7" in the collection. This tape contains three commercials created in 1983 advertising home versions of Sega-Gremlin’s arcade games. The commercials were created by advertising house Dailey and Associates as a series of advertisements under their $8 million account with Sega Enterprises Inc. The games featured are Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator, Congo Bongo, and Bucker Rogers: Planet of Zoom. All graphics shown on screen are based on the Commodore 64 versions despite clear indication of the Atari version being played.
