Konami was killing it back then.

I vividly remember that first one from when I got into my uncles playboy stash in my youth…

Where were these?

Because I don’t recall ever seeing ads like this.

The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world on 20 Nov 15:15 next collapse

Someone elsewhere in the comments said they remembered seeing one in playboy magazine.

Probably in playboy and such

I def remember at least three of these in magazines back in the day. I particularly recall being a confused child looking at the tennis one. What is in that girl’s ass?

I remember seeing the left one in EGM

Definitely thought the one on the right was wearing a plug, at first.

She is. ;-)

It’s NEO GEO… Come on. Of course he’s playing it

captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works on 20 Nov 18:14 next collapse

I remember an ad for Half Life of all games that went “She’s smart, has a great personality, and knows that the way to a man’s heart is through his sternum.”

This PlayStation 2 advert (safe for work) came not long after that:

E was really damn popular during that time, so why not?

I’ll never forget this one. Never played the game though because it was famously riddled with bugs.

4 dimensional graphics

Like nowaday’s AAAA

Bullshitting never changes

Which is funny because the Neo-Geo was a very much sprite-based 2D machine. What did they even mean by “4D”?
