- The videos were in AVI format, didn't work well with QuickTime on Mac but played with VLC, and were converted to mp4 using ffmpeg.
- The ads are described as cheesy, with cringy jingles and low resolution.
- A list of featured Atari 2600 ads is provided, including games like Demon Attack, E.T., Pitfall!, and others.
