I know they're insensitive and tacky, but I have to admit that a part of me misses when games ads were off the walls like this.
These are some of the tamest ads of that era, too.
What the fuck is the one on the very bottom.
It's the classic your gf wants kinky sex but you'd rather play Gameboy LIKE A NERD, NERD
GameBoy Pocket
Yeah, but aren't his hands crazy large?
It's an ad for the Gameboy Pocket.
Hands made for spanking.
It looks that way because he is holding the Game Boy Pocket and not the OG Game Boy
I'm a nerd and I'd give up both motorcycling and gaming for a girlfriend.
The hand of the guy holding the yellow Gameboy looks like it's coming from a PS1 game lol
I can't figure out if it's drawn or early 3d modeling that they decided to add to a Gameboy ad for some reason.
Here's a couple I posted a while back.
Why not do these today? I think most gamers would laugh, which was the point.
Twitter would explode
Yay!
Whatever would be said on Xitter would probably be drowned out by neonazi propaganda bots, as is usual nowadays.
there was a super Gameboy?
It plugged into the SNES so you could play GB games on the TV
It offered color for GB games before the GameBoy Color existed! 😃
oh yea now i remember. cool
Absolute best way to play Pokemon Red & Blue, IMO.
I watched a whole video essay on these the other day. Companies got away with some wild shit back then
Some good nostalgia and my god they wouldn't dare see the light of day anymore.
