Even that strange yellow-haired fellow is hyped to have a yellow GB.

>>2413641
Piece of shit.

>>2415484
how amazingly true

Classic. They could never get away with ads like these nowadays without an army of Sarkeesians stomping over their muhjogyneeist asses.

I like how in old vidya adverts the games just pop out of the screens with the power of imagination because you really had to use your imagination due to limited power of graphics.

Hey Alamo.

>>2415803
it is incredibly stupid and sexist, tho.

Video game advertising was so dumb. Just give me some big screenshots and a little info, I don't need a two page spread with a lame visual gag and some text explaining how my parents aren't cool. This >>2415716 has some thumbnails and no information on the games whatsoever, just a complete waste of a page, some marketing person came up with this in an afternoon.

>>2415826
>Sexist

No. A naked lady is not sexist.

that's why they're fun, though

.

I miss Nintendo's old advertisements, it got too bland after the "Who are you?" campaign back in the early 2000s. I think the next thing was their Wii everyone playing together on the couch campaign which was the beginning of the end.

>>2415826

>>2417693
This is fucking disturbing

>>2416973
Things were aaaaloooottt less pc 30 years ago. It was normal to say racist and homophobic things, and kiddie diddling was a joke for late night stand up

>>2417735
Plus, any kid under the age of 10 wouldn't bother reading the small text (or simply not understand it), while teens would think that shit wad hilarious.

It's like that photoshopped picture of wall of vaginas.

90s vidya adverts are some of the strangest and the goofiest adverts ever. I love them, they really make me want to play video games.

>>2417691

B-but that's why it sucked.

>>2417691
Holy fuck that's hilarious.

>Funnyman Rob Schneider

I have never heard the term "funnyman" used unironically and I don't think this is an exception.

>>2418727
In retrospect, Sega USA marketing department were a bunch of assholes.

>fast, seamless 15 frames per second
The past is a foreign country

>>2418737
Hey, it worked.

>>2418787
Not well enough, though

>>2418803
Advertising worked. Sega of Japan's decision to make the 32x, botch the Saturn launch and limit the number of Saturn imports didn't work.

>>2416986
thank god. I dont want a retarded casual girlfriend

>>2416506
You know, you don't really see many games using the fact that it's long and difficult as fuck as a point in advertisement. Sure, RPGs often boast about the amount of content "over 100 hours of content" etc.), but that's different as the time comes from having lots of dialogue and cutscenes rather than having to spend days trying to clear the first dungeon.

>>2416506
>Still living at home

Fucking Nipps, I tell you

I guess if roadmap. You play to many video games.

>>2418839

>>2415826
You don't understand how advertising works.

>>2415803
Why are her tits so lopsided though? One is like a D cup, and the other's a B. Did the artist never actually see a naked woman before?

>>2419056
It's funny because Final Fantasy 7 was originally going to be on a Nintendo cartridge and a cigarette and blindfold is what they give people before death by firing squad.

never released?

>>2418972
I don't see the point in this.

>>2419084
I like how they use the term networked and online when it was neither of these things.

>>2419084
So you don't need to get up and switch cartridges manually every time you want to change games. Just shove your 6 favorites in there and then you only need to get up if you want to play something else. Plus you could get as many as you needed or wanted and hook them all up together.

$50 is fucking no though, even back then.

>>2419090
It could be networked and I guess it was networked to the console, though definitely not online.

>>2419094
I always figured it was for people wanting to build their own arcade machines before emulation was feasible.

>>2418892
is that Jerry "the Beaver" Mathers on the right?

Heres a couple of new scans. The 1999 Silent Hill Product Catalog, featuring the graphic novel, that never saw the light of day.

>>2422649
And, the other side.

>>2420005
They couldn't even find the real Sting to pose for that ad.

>>2416769
Man, those Nintendo Power editors were on crack or something.

>>2424649
Pretty sure it was Disney cartoons plus scifi/fantasy in general. They were an extreme fringe at old, old Cons. It was the rise of Usenet groups that really allowed them (and many niche interests) to band together.

>>2416769
That's pretty seriously fucked up.

>>2428773
You know, people talk about Postal being a murder simulator,, but given how you only *need* to kill the cops/soldiers ("hostiles") in each level,, I'm surprised they didn't try to ban it for supporting terrorism or something.

>>2428772
>>2428773
>>2428776

>the game every gamer wanted and no one else dared to make

Fucking badass, I love Postal. Can't wait for Hatred.

>>2428803
>Hatred
Edgy The Game

>>2428807
And Postal is not?

>>2428803
There's also Postal: Redux coming out this year too.

>>2428810
>>2428807
If anything Postal 1 is edgier than Hatred in some ways, namely the fact that you re-enact the Dunblane Massacre at the very end, when that had happened almost exactly a year before Postal was released (and the UK government was passing anti-gun laws because of that, just when Postal was released).

If anything Hatred comes across as blander as Postal tbh, the soundtrack is nowhere as nightmarish as Postal's and Postal had all that hellish/demonic imagery. And I liked how the manual showed pic related as the Postal Dude - I like the idea of this monster being nothing more than a frightened, retarded teenager.

>>2428825
> manual showed pic related as the Postal Dude

Well, in his panicked journal entries where he thinks everyone's out to get him, at least - though it doesn't really mesh with the sadistic diary entries and quips in the game itself.

>>2428772
>Ronald Wanker

>>2416506
Is this game good?

There's one Postal ad I saw in a magazine that I haven't seen again-

A grainy TV picture of an old lady in despair, with subtitles saying 'He was always such a nice, quiet boy.'

Yeah.

There's a print ad that I'm looking for, maybe you folks can help me. It's for 3Dfx accelerator cards. The image shows a bunch of surgeons working hard on some complicated procedure. A dude in shirt and jeans is leaning over and saying something along the lines of "you think that's what a blaster wound would look like?" Tagline is that 3Dfx works hard to deliver the most realistic graphics ever. As far as I know it was part of a series, so if you happen to know of others, they're welcome a well

>>2416972

>>2429227
Literally the 4th result when I searched "3dfx ad" in Google Image.

>>2429298
ok, I see it as well. No idea what changed, because the last couple months I could not bring up that ad at all.

>>2429007
yeah, it's fun as hell. I rec using the infinite magic/life code, even then it's hard as hell and will keep you busy for awhile.

>Could support up to 16 players via ComLYNX

>>2429342
Cool, I'll give it a try

>>2429680
Don't forget Mode 7, a full year before the SNES had it.

>>2429680
"ambidextrous" sounds better than just being able to flip the screen

unless youre referring to the ability to flip the screen 90 degrees in games like klax, which is a fucking awesome feature

>>2419216
Never seen the version with this game on the TV before. It's always the SHMUP-looking one.

>>2429980
Found it on google image search.

>>2430198

>>2416506

>>2425274

>>2429680

>>2415803
I remember I got in trouble because I brought a magazine with this ad in it to school. The teacher took it away and I never saw I again.

>>2430647
I remember there was another game-glove that grouped your fingers in such a way that one review described as looking like a sloth. Can't find any image on the web for it unfortunately.

:(

>>2429646
sorry for being retarded, but what game is this? the screenshots look really neato but googling combinations of "zeta", "tonkin house", "pc-9801", etc doesn't seem to yield anything.

>>2430182
I wanted the shit out of this game because of this ad as a kid, and I'd never heard of the TG-16 before.

it was also like, 1998 or so (it was printed in an old Archie comic my brother had)

>>2429680
if the Lynx didn't have a bunch of the same issues that the Game Gear had (fucking big, drinks batteries), it could have been a real heavy contender

STUN Runner on that thing is fucking wonderful.

>>2432915
I think it might have been a better idea to release a portable Atari 2600, with color screen and paddles.

>>2435745
>A stock split or stock divide increases the number of shares in a public company.
Anon's implying Duracell made a shitload of money, their stock exploded, so they performed a stock split to get the value per stock to something more reasonable.
A very elaborate way of saying the Lynx had a very short battery life.

>>2429680
>full color screen that you still cant see

>>2440070
Wow, that ad makes me ashamed I actually played the first disk of this game. What an awful display of arrogance and cluelessness

>>2440075
The people who made the game likely never saw this ad. I'm assuming this was created by a western marketing team. After-all, it doesn't say "Someone please tell the guys who make cartridge games to prepare their death poems."

On that note, non-english ads time. INB4 not-VR. It's a famiclone.

>>2440069

Some poor family in my neighborhood had SegaCD and we'd play these style games there. It's crazy because I was friends with the kid that lived in that house before them too.

Still better than the ad with the parents watching their two kids simultaneously play SMB1 without the cartridge inserted, no cords from the console, and Mario jumping into a pit to his death.

>>2415826
The lawn full of newspapers one is a great ad actually

>>2440075
You know nintendo isn't your dad right? It's just a joke. Jeeze.

>>2440127
Who gives a shit about Nintendo? The ad was arrogant and clueless, is all I said.
Can't comprehend that people may understand technology without being drooling fanboys, can you?

>>2440136
You are coming off like a fanboy...

>>2440137
Because I prefer zero seek times on interactive entertainment? And consider the FMV fad one of the worst things to happen to video games, because it lead to cookie cutter bullshit "gaming" that's fancy real-time rendered movies occasionally interrupted by 1970s gameplay?
The only Nintendo devices I own (and owned) are a GBC and a DS.
I don't give a flying fuck about console wars, unlike your paranoid ass. I just call out superior tech for the task at hand when I see it.

>>2440145
Mostly because you went off on an tangent because of a old ff ad.

>>2440149
Actually, that was you, seeing fanboyism when all I said is that the ad was arrogant and clueless.

>>2420002
Kid on the left is /fa/ as fuck

>>2440154
Lol you are a nigger. You're butthurt because some advertiser challenged your sensibilities. I'm not even that guy you were arguing with

>>2419191
His third leg.

>>2440145
And that superior tech can only be found at Nintendo!
They continue to innovate today with the Wii U and the improved NEW 3DS.

>>2440145
>I just call out superior tech for the task at hand when I see it.
In the 20th century mass producing huge ROM chips was really expensive. Your "superior technology" (I'm not even arguing that it isn't superior, if money grew on trees, then carts would be used for everything) would have been to expensive to sell.

Look at modern prices. A 25GB BD is about 1$, a 16GB SD card is about 6$.

>>2440271
SSD/SDs are R/W, ROMs aren't. ROM chips were profitable for systems up to the N64 and all mobile systems that weren't a PSP. The problem is the obsession with storage space, which ends up leading to space wasters, instead of games.

>>2440278
you're forgetting the fact that the larger n64 carts were extremely expensive and the publisher had to pay for the costs

>>2440270
I can't think of a single game Darth Vader was in, let alone playable or in a launch title.

>>2440290
There were a few Star Wars games, and the rest is probably advertisement liberty, since you do find these characters in games, albeit not all of them playable.

>>2440290
you're correct, the only N64 star wars launch title was shadows of the empire, darth vader isn't even in that game

>>2418858
his ^parent's home

>>2440119

They really couldn't find any plain red and green shirts for that ad?

>>2440529
the plain red and green shirts of Mario and Luigi are just simplified representations of working class shirts, them being plumbers and all that.

>>2425747
I had that magnifier/light for my Game Boy. It actually was pretty useful since the GB screes is pretty small, and there was no internal lighting. External lighting isn't that great, but it's better than nothing if you're playing in the dark.

The other stuff seems kind of pointless, though, and probably isn't worth making the GB even bulkier.

>>2432820
If you're finding screens for Zeta, then it's all you're going to find aside from the game itself, which you can request on Tokugawa Corps. The game isn't discussed much even on Japanese sites, and its sequel Nirvana hasn't been auctioned in maybe a decade.

>>2440290
There was that Japanese Star Wars game where he turned into a scorpion.

>>2443662
Shit, that literally just gave me a flashback to a near 20 year old memory of this ad.

Couldnt remember the name of the game or anything and never played it but always remembered this
