Why are you asking for HQ images when you know the upload limit is 5MB? I can't post anything here, as I only have PNG files.

>>5841396
That second translation made me laugh pretty hard. Should have made it say "It's a no-rules car chase!"

I don't have many high quality ads, but I think this is too fun a thread to let die.

>>5843265
I like the ad, but the boxart was just poor.
>Are we gonna draw some like, crazy evil demons attacking a city?
>Nah, let's just stick some plane wings on these dollar store dinosaurs, spray paint them chrome and put it all on a generic space background

always thought this EJ doodle was cool

Couldn't find a decent ad scan, so this will have to do.

>>5844043
Really? Who says Germans don't have a sense of humor...

Love this stuff, keep em coming lads!

Post more.

>>5841398
That's not real. That's a custom job.

impressive mix of fonts on this one

it was a better time.

Thanks!!

Galaxy Force 2

Lovely CRT screenshots. One of the best things about old ads.

>>5847849
Man I love over saturated screenshots

I've always liked the tiny model ads, like old Nintendo Power covers.

>>5843785

Yeah, the boxart don't do the game any justice.

>>5847880

I have to admit, the market team have guts. 10/10.

>>5848139
I believe the cover was censored in the UK.

>>5848336
It was... I think they put the IMAGINE logo (or whatever) over her tatas

Sunsoft's ad guys didn't really give much of a fuck this month

>>5849675
>>5849678
Looks like Fester's Quest was what it was originally done for and the Batman screenshot was slapped in there. Weird how such a high-profile game for a high-profile movie that was probably one of Sunsoft's highest selling titles ever was shit out by the marketing team.

>>5849754
fuck you faggot

>>5849758
eat shit asshole

>>5849223
How did he had a grandson if he never kissed a girl?

>>5841384
What is this game about?

>>5851273
Random crap, literally

>>5849761
It's laughable that they would put out a sequence of ads for such a shit show of a game.

>>5843981
>>5847526

these low-effort ads are great

>>5848479
Initially, they didn't. That scan is from a U.K. mag. The devs were Spanish, but Imagine brought the game to Blighty. What you see is what was advertised in magazines at the time. Censorship came after numerous complaints, and the leather was replaced by a less revealing metal breastplate.

turtles in time ad, kind of unique art style, even if they look a thousand years old

and a hyperstone heist one, with an awesome raphael single-page lead-in

Power Moves, with some hilariously bad looking screenshot mock-ups. It was corrected in later prints, apparently.

>>5852405

>>5852405
Wait a datgum second!
This is version we used to make fun of. We called this "tomato sauce guy".
I didn't know (or never noticed, I guess) that it was censored elsewhere.

>>5851291
i cant even fathom how much this would have cost upon release, $20k maybe?

>>5853256
yep, i remember this scam in the back of every EGM/Gamepro, i wonder if anyone actually spent the money to win this stupid contest

>>5852443
>those mock up screenshots
>fighting a furry!

Yeah the game sucked ass

>>5853593
You can search the company name and get a few threads on experiences with them. Basically a total scam, winners are either ghosted by the owner, or given sob stories about how he can't pay out due to bankruptcy. Company then reappears under a new name, runs the same contests, rinse and repeat for years.

I guess this is what happens when your ad needs to go out before you've really even got press coverage?

>>5854352
Pocky and Rocky ad from around the same time for comparison.

>>5853593
>>5854245
and it continued well into gen7 in the exact same format, surprisingly

>>5855056
>197.88
What maniac priced things for that store?

>>5851314
>Ad for Cadillac's and Dinosaurs
>No Dinosaurs in ad

Bizzare ad from Seika mostly advertising corporate stability, instead of games.

>>5855931

Looks like something that you would show to shareholders for potential investment. Did it appear in a game magazine?

>>5841368
I had no idea they made a Gunhed game

>>5855981
Yes, I believe I found that ad in an Electronic Gaming Monthly issue.

Is Legend of Mystical Ninja worth a gander?

Actual ad....

It seems weird that even in to the 16-bit era, Capcom couldn't think of anything more interesting than "show the box" for Mega Man games.

>>5857854

>>5857790
using that pic for a tiberium-c&c is rather weird tbqh.

>>5857865
>>5857854
Its. Not unjustified. It's one of the biggest series on the console. Everyone knows they are a solid bet, fun games and want them. All they need to tell the customer is a new one is out and even better, this is what the box looks like

>>5857904
Possibly, it may have just been their marketing direction, as many of their ads followed the same theme.

>>5850632
Is this a thing? Is it ElectroStatic?

>>5851291
Is that a Videogame/RC Hybrid?

>>5852187
Since I didn't have a Super Nintendo growing up. This is the game I had. It was good enough. Wish I hadn't have sold it. It's pretty expensive now.

>>5853256
What in the hell are those INFINITY! Speakers? I pretty much have recreated that entire setup minus the Sega Menacer, The Dual Joysticks, and the Stereo System.

I have a Period Correct Rear Projection CRT that works with Light Guns. It's a Pioneer that I saved from the Trash. The only thing broken on it is the Power Button, and the viewing angle.. LMAO The only way it looks good is if you're sitting dead center infront of it. Other than that it does look pretty good.

>>5855981
I remember seeing it. Probably was EGM. I had a few of those growing up. What a shitty ad.

>>5856084
Should have renamed the game Kill the Hostages! Fuck everyone in this building! Call in the wrecking Crew. We're razing the entire city block. The Game.

>>5856126
back when EA wasn't a giant fucking pile of shit.

>>5857790
That's fucking Epic.

>>5856098
Yes, the series itself is worth a gander. The second and fourth games are Japanese-only, but relatively playable and better than the first game.

>>5858018
It's a 5 or 7 speaker surround sound system. I think they still make them and they work reasonably well for movies.

>>5847805
Remove the ads and we have a great wallpaper.

>>5858402
Still a fav of mine. Great game too.

>>5858402
Just what the fuck is going on in this picture? Hussein handshaking Bill Clinton while everything else explods? The fuck...

>>5858413
the third world war obviously

>>5858413
where the fuck is anything exploding?

Shadowman was one of those games with a fantastic aesthetic and cool premise, but kind of weighed down with some gameplay clunkiness. Shadowman's level transition poetry is one of my favorite gaming scenes, and there's plenty of great moments. I'd love to see a well-executed remake.

>>5850652
MK 3 right?

>>5855982
It started out as a PC Engine game.

Pepsiman!

>>5858080
I just found that I had a copy of this game for genesis the other day. Is it anygood?

>>5858402
Should have had Bill Clinton giving China schematics for weapons of war and it would have been oddly prophetic.

>>5859737
Never played it.
I only remember the game for having the music being composed by Mötley Crüe.

>>5858612

If anyone has a hi-res Street Fighter Zero 3 arcade flyer (Japanese), then please post it. A Japanese Street Fighter flyer would also be appreciated. I can't find either in anything larger than ****x*** anywhere. Thanks.

>>5859760
I popped it in last night. The music isn't done very well from the Genesis. It's kind of grating. The little demo of the guy driving home and playing music too loud in the middle of the night was comfy as fuck. The game isn't too bad. It's No Dragon's Revenge, but it's still a competent pinball game.

>>5860072
She-Na's got nice f'n Cans.

Ultima the Black Album

Hey, is there any collectors interested in old Magazine Rack type of displays for Ultima? I have NO-Idea what what sold from these Racks but have two or three of these Magazine Racks that say Ultima on a Black Flap on them. They're black metal wire displays for up on a counter top and hold the guides or Magazines Flat horizontally. I can't even find a picture on google that looks like it. I'll have to try and remember to take a picture of it this evening.

>>5858876
MK II.
