Classic Gaming Ads

Some were great and some were good. Others were just plain horrible. Remember a particular game ad? Post it here!

Great ad for a great game.

Gak! The ad's as bad as the game! :lol:

"Ogopogo Lives." I remember seeing that ad all the time and wondering what the game was supposed to be (I had most likely forgotten about playing through FF at that point).

Holy crap. I'd forgotten about that Bubsy ad. It's so dated. :)

While we're talking about ads here, I'd like to make a request. I wa s wondering if anyone can find this realy coll Resident Evil ad that I think is British. It's picture of a bathtub full of blood on a black and white checkered floor with bloody footprints leading away from it and the word Resident Evil. I would greatly appreciate it.

That ad was printed in America too.

Is it me, or is the guy closest to the spine on the right page of the Bubsy ad holding a platinum GBA SP? :p

TTI began an agressive advertising campaign for the Duo, the most notorious being the "Johnny Turbo" magazine ads. These comic-style ads focused around "Johnny Turbo," a freelance crime fighter who was determined to crush the evil forces of "Feka" (rhymes with Sega), who were brainwashing thousands of kids into thinking the Sega CD was the world's first "complete" CD system.

The evil minions of Feka were inhuman monsters with glowing red eyes, interested only in cheating kids out of their hard-earned money.

Johnny Turbo leaps to the rescue, eliminating the Feka baddies and spreading the word that the Turbo Duo is the world's only complete CD gaming system (unlike the Sega CD, which required a Genesis).
