Interesting. Although I only had cable in my house when I was 15, before that I watched cable on my aunt like a weekend every 2 years =p
And I'm not saying there were no marketing (well PS1 and PS2 I know for certain didn't because Sony didn't officially release the they here), just that I can't remember. I do remember the gaming magazines and being a member of Pro Gamer store (with the Super Game Power mag) or something like that during the heydays of Mega Drive vs Super Nintendo.
