I always really enjoy running across the old ads in mags, comic books, etc.     Let's share the good  bad   and the ugly  !!

First up is a deliciously terrible double dragon V ad --- I mean seriously wtf were they thinking???

I want to see who's cruisin around on a Silver Surfer jet ski.



Here's one that bums me out:



Oh wow, you mean if I buy a Sega I can play a bunch of really bad sports games!?  Moonwalker is okay for a bit, but it's crap compared to the arcade game.

They could have made that add cooler, sure, but at least they used the old school hooded Cobra Commander from the comic books.

I always liked the ads for the TMNT games.

Nice post Dan. I have been meaning to start up a thread for collecting scans for Nintendo ads so we can post them with the respective games in the database.

Also,

I have a whole binder filled with different ads from NES-N64

man I had totally forgotten about that thread. funny to see conversations from two years ago that you don't even recall!

qixmaster

so in that case, lets do it! It appears you have some nice ones



I really enjoy the silver surfer ones - they really reflect how the shitty that game actually is

That Kickle Cubicle ad is amazing. I never thought I'd see a snow man getting nailed in his snow junk by an ice block.

unfortunately I never really kept records of the ones I came across.   I just found these ones on the net.   I will pitch in where I can though.

Here's one more konami ad
