It's no hot news that many of the people who sell old computers don't do any researches and just want quick bucks. Whining about overpriced TRS-80 #2635 in here won't do shit but piss off people.

Still more on-topic. Old computer game posters are still more related to the board than bitching about some random fuck not knowing how to go into a BASIC interpreter.

Anyway, I'm the guy who posted the ads >>3367569 linked to, and I'll be responding to those who might whine about the stuff I post. You don't like old game and computer advertising? Just ignore them, they're in no way polluting the discussion here, and can alway lead to some discussions (like when I posted the Illusion City poster a few threads ago or more recently the FM PAC one that could have resulted in a bigger MSX-related discussion). Yeah, many of them don't lead to discussions, but the main reason why I post old computer and game ads is so to share them on an old computer gaming thread. Some people also enjoy having old advertising and promo scans, or even post them (like the anon who posted his Mindscape game catalog a few threads ago -- thanks for the dump m8, those were pretty interesting pics -- or more recently the Apple ads earlier in this thread) so it can alway be a contribution to someone's pic collection. It's true that many of them might not have an additional comment, but remmember where you're posting, this is an imageboard, if you want to share pictures, you're not forced to comment too. Last but not least, just read the OP for a moment
>Don't hesitate to share [...] ads & flyers
>ads & flyers

tl;dr : If you don't like what I post, just ignore it -- it's just ads that I'd like to share with people who are into old computer games and that they might enjoy for various reasons.

Lel that's exactly how I got my PC-XT laptop -- the contrast was turned all the way down and the seller though the panel wasn't working.
