In Australia they gave away free CD copies of Age of Empires 1 in cereal packets in the mid-2000's. Did they do that in America/Europe as well?

That shit was fucking nuts, because it wasn't just a demo, it was the full game. They also had V-rally 2 and THPS2 in boxes of Nutri-Grain and this would have been only one to three years after they were originally released.

It's 7up's old-ass marketing slogan. The idea was that people thought of soft drinks as cola like Pepsi or Coke. The "un-Cola" was 7up bragging about how it wasn't just a third flavor of those two.

The arcade version of Q-bert had two product placement versions. One had Q-bert drinking Mello Yello between rounds and the other was 7-11 exclusive and had him drinking a Slurpee instead. (I ran into the Mello Yello version in Denver last year)

the product placement for the Olympics is subtle, but did you know that the Olympics themselves are also sponsored, and that the sponsorship worked its way into this title?
look very closely.
