I thought a thread where we post old video game ads would be fun.  |

If videos are allowed, how about the greatest video game advertisement campaign to ever exist?:

How late-1990s can these ads get?

IMO the Real reason the Sega Saturn didn't take off in North America is because they didn't have this all time classic ad campaign  : |

I only had Ultima 5 myself, was more into stuff like Roadwar 2000. Edit - Plus these were American big-box games that were quite expensive for a teenager at the time.  |

 This might have been the biggest Self owning moment in video game history |

I like how the guy in the ad has "Bad Guy Lawyer" hair and is dressed like a stock broker or something. it's like they knew that (Broke ass) little kids weren't going to be able to convince their parents to fork out Neo Geo money so they'd have to actually market to adults |

This ad would NEVER fly today. Jeeze, the darkened room/her body language doesn't make it seem like she's a willing participant in whatever is about to to happen The hands with the gameboy at the bottom of the page doesn't even look like it's in the same room It's like the AD team just wanted to shoot some kinky fetish material and then shoehorned in the Gameboy so they could get Nintendo to pay for everything |
