First and foremost, as somebody who has played every version of NARC ever created (including this crummy handheld version), nobody has ever had this much fun playing this anti-drug action game. In fact, I'm not even sure that he's having a good time. That face he's making could very easily be him in discomfort or him dying from the fact that he can't breathe in space! Seriously Acclaim, who thought it would be a good idea to have a kid surfing in space? What does that have to do with your subpar line of licensed video games? It's not like you're promoting a Silver Surfer game (yet), so what this has to do with NARC is anybody's guess.

And while we're on the subject of space surfing, am I the only one that wonders why he's wearing kneepads? Let's assume he falls off of his board because he's playing a game instead of paying attention, what is he going to crash into? Won't he just float there? Which brings up another point, how does a regular gamer go about surfing in space? There isn't any wind up there and you can't exactly ride the waves. What's the deal, Acclaim?

I would also like to briefly make mention of the advertisement's slogan: "Out of this world SuperPlay action." SuperPlay? What the hell does that even mean? SuperPlay isn't a word, and I've never seen any other companies use it to advertise their games. When I look at this NARC handheld I don't think "SuperPlay" ... I think SuperLame. I also think that everybody involved with this commercial is as high as the enemies in NARC. Oh wait, I suddenly get it. This kid is high, which is why it feels like he's flying through space. It all makes sense now. Perhaps the real message of this advert is that you need to be high to enjoy any one of these Acclaim games. Masters of the game, my ass.
