Found this in a comic book as a kid. There was a page between the two pages of the ad, so you only see the forearm/fist and then you turn the page and see the bloody severed shoulder part.

Oh, and that's for Spawn: the Eternal for PSX. It's like a Tomb Raider type game, but when you get close to an enemy, the camera shifts to the side and it seamlessly becomes a 2D fighter. You can tear off opponents' limbs in the fighting mode and beat their original owners to death with them.

Despite this, it is a shit game.

Here's an ad about their Blast Processing which turned out to be a mere buzzword formed from the fact that the CPU on the Genesis had a higher clock speed than
the SNES while ignoring that the SNES could handle more instructions per cycle because more MHz = better performance.

I was maybe eight years old at the time, and even then I understood that it was irony. This was also at a time when that sort of humor was a fad. People who cite the advertising tone as Earthbound's chief reason for underperforming in the U.S. probably weren't cognizant at the time.

Read >>935307 ; right off the bat they gave you a $10 coupon and free player's guide to coax you into buying the game. It wasn't the advertising that turned off Western gamers, it was the game itself. They knew the tone and presentation wasn't what was flying off shelves at the time. If anything, their print ad direction was meant to play off the inherent negativity toward the game.

konami's MSX games are fucking amazing collector's items, I have Snatcher already and have SD Snatcher on the way. I'm trying to resist buying MG2 since I don't really have the cash right now.

The amount of detail put into the manuals is amazing, they are thick with information and art.

Also I'd kill for these, but they were only specially made for SD Snatcher's cover art and advertisinh an Kojima has them.

Sega really had a lot of balls back then, boasting about "blast processing" even though the 7MHz processor was the only physical advantage to the SNES.
