What the fuck is the one on the very bottom.
Just a few attention-grabbing retro game ads that would land studios in hot water today. (more in post body)

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
The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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.

Why not do these today? I think most gamers would laugh, which was the point.

Twitter would explode

Whatever would be said on Xitter would probably be drowned out by neonazi propaganda bots, as is usual nowadays.

Pretty sad what the wokesters have done to society.

Being woke remains a good thing.
It means being aware of societal challenges that exist and the historical context in which we live.
The alternative is to bury ones head in the sand and say, “Everything is okay, question nothing.”
I am thankful my mind is not simple enough to fall for made-up conservative slurs to discredit social awareness.

There’s plenty of porn; I don’t need it trying to sell me a video game.
Mango@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Porn good. Ads bad.

I watched a whole video essay on these the other day. The one at the bottom is… truly something

there was a super Gameboy?
edgemaster72@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
It plugged into the SNES so you could play GB games on the TV
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 weeks ago
It offered color for GB games before the GameBoy Color existed! 😃

Absolute best way to play Pokemon Red & Blue, IMO.
B0NK3RS@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Some good nostalgia and my god they wouldn’t dare see the light of day anymore.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 weeks ago
These are some of the tamest ads of that era, too.
