Disappointed this game wasn't a lady slicing up families with her blade. Oh well.

The classiest advert for Populous I've ever seen. It feels monolithic and formal (as Electronic Arts stuff could be then!), or as someone commented on it, a bit like an obituary ;o;

The original god game - Populous!

"Unquestionably the Game of the Year" (1989)

#Gameads #retrogaming #dosgaming #amiga #atarist #80s #retrocomputing

A totally radical development in game cheat technology - GAME GENIE!

It's totally radical 'cause this is an early 90s North American ad replete with Bill & Ted energy. Feels like such a parody of those commercials... while being an actual X-TREME 90s commercial.

The Elder Scrolls franchise starts here: Arena!

Released in Feb 1994, The Elder Scrolls: Arena was a sandbox CRPG unlike any other. It offered up the whole of Tamriel with hundreds of towns and dungeons to explore, crafting and spell creation systems - and laid the foundation for the franchise's lore.

Trivia: While the manual claims you can walk from one settlement to another, you actually can't; the area between them is infinite if you try. You need to use the fast travel system.

Beginning life as a gladiatorial combat game, the name Arena was later retconned into a nickname used by Tamriel's denizens for their world to reflect its harsh nature.

📖: Computer Gaming World, Aug 1994.

A full-page ad for Arena with review quotes. The Raves Keep Rolling in! "Sum it up in three words: GO GET ARENA."

Three flavours of Sour Calibur II, three flavours of ads from 2002 - each with a unique character for each platform. ⚔️

#PS2 #Xbox #Gamecube #Retrogaming #gaming #videogames #gameads

Having a read through some old Amiga mags and came across this ad that still managed to make my pulse quicken a bit. TFX! There was going to be no other sim like it, it was going to be the ultimate combat flight simulator.

I don't think I ever played it in the end and leapt right to EF2000.

#Retrogaming #Retrocomputing #videogames #gaming #gameads #DOSGaming #Amiga #Flightsim

A back page ad for TFX in signature early 90s Ocean and DID blocky chrome design with TFX prominent at the top and a Eurofighter photoed in the middle.

Tales of Might & Magic for your Super Famicom - and a cool poster of perilous adventure.

Hopping from computer to console, the second entry in New World Computing's RPG series hit Japan in 1993.

Namco flew high at E3 1997 with this promotional poster for ACE COMBAT 2 on PlayStation.

Are any fedinauts within broadcast range of this toot fans of Namco's arcade flight sim series, as I am? AC2 is frequently named as peeps' favourite of the series (That's reserved for the PS2 incarnations for me) and yeah, it's a big step up from Air Combat, an arcade conversion with some extra gubbins for the home port.

And this is a pretty swish and eye-catching poster!

#Microsoft has started slipping #GameAds into my #Xbox power up screen and I fucking hate it.

More disgusting predatory behaviour from an Uber rich company that makes a business of buying up smaller game companies and ruining them.

They’ve destroyed #Bethesda, #Activision and countless others. I truly believe their #greedy #monopoly will ultimately kill the #gamingindustry.

What a age old legacy this pitiful conglomerate #Microsoft is trashing! They even upped the #GamePass price to boot! #Microsoft is just a #CorporateTrash company.

Seeing old MicroProse ads like this one brings an extra smile to my lips now after listening to the audiobook version of Sid Meier's Memoir. 'Wild Bill' would strut about the offices in uniform whenever journos were due to drop by to reinforce the authenticity of their sims.

And believe it or not, F-15 Strike Eagle on NES is a surprisingly full featured flight sim.

#retrogaming #retrocomputing #gameads #80s #flightsim #microprose #NES

A print ad for F-15 Strike Eagle with the CEO of MicroProse posed in a flight suit and grinning in front of an oversized game box.

Clearly, this is one of the greatest game ads ever committed to paper.

Spaceshark, ho!

Also a neat little space 4X from New World Computing. They turned their hand to such a variety of stuff.

#DOSGaming #4X #Retrogaming #Retrocomputing #sciifi #gameads #MSDOS #DOS

An ad fo the PC game Spaceward Ho depicting a space cowboy riding on a some sort of rocket cycle with the head of a shark and lots of teeth (approved!) and a space battle and suns and planets in the background. With a few tiny screenshots of the actual game itself. Clearly not the important thing here!

Mornin'. Fedinauts!

Today's greets come with an amazing ad for one of those bold attempts at the ultimate all-in-one PC controller. Mouse and joystick all in one and endorsed for FPS ass-kicking by none other than John Romero!

I wonder if this was actually any good to use?

#Retrcomputing #90s #2000s #Windows95 #videogames #gaming #gameads

An ad for the Panther XL joystick that also has a marble mouse to the left of the flight stick and is one of those bold late 90s/early 2000s attempts to do the ultimate all in one.

Endorsed by John Romero! "If you wanna crack skulls with he big boys, the Panther XL is the weapon of choice."

Good afternoon!

See that attribute clash and hear that beepy AY sound? That's a Speccy flavoured toot coming your way!

I picked up a big bundle of Crash and Your Sinclair magazines from 88-90 yesterday (26 for £25!), plugging a #ZXSpectrum shaped hole in our magazine library. And so, here's a few snippets of January 1989 CRASH.

Batman on the cover (though it's not referring to the movie one!), an iconic Barbarian II ad with a Gladiators TV show connection (that's Wolf!), Thalamus shmupery, and poking in some cheats!

#Retrocomputing #Retrogaming #videogames #gaming #retromags #80s #Gameads

An impressive upper torso image of Batman dominates the cover, looming above the text formatted to the left highlighting what's in the mag

A photo ad of a male and female classic bikini mail fantasy barbarians brandishing weapons over a slain demonic monster

A stylish ad of a 80s shmup ship above a yellow Saxion text block

A page of type in listings to activate cheats in games

Voodoo? Hoodoo? Two-do! After revolutionising PC graphics with Voodoo, Creative and 3DFX were back in February 1998 with the Voodoo 2 to help them regain more ground lost to consoles.

📖: EDGE April 1998

#Retrogaming #Retrocomputing #90s #tech #pcgaming #gameads

A full page ad advertising the 3DFX Voodoo 2. It has a purple background and gold bold text 'Having the fastest 3D Accelerator isn't Everything... It's the Only Thing' There's a shot of the box or comes in and text describing its features.

From the pages of ST Action August 1990 - a pretty wild ad for an #AtariST, #Amiga, and #MSDOS game I remember being always intrigued by but still haven't played: BSS Jane Seymour.

I have played it's successor tho, Suspicious Cargo.

War has never been so much fun.

Cannon Fodder print ad, 1993.

The game cover from which this ad was taken is Infamously sans a poppy after the Royal British Legion protested and threatened legal action against the whole Amiga world. In its place, a neat little optical illusion.

Cannon Fodder is a staunchly anti-war game, something that all of its tabloid press detractors at the time failed to take into account.

#Retrogaming #Retrocomputing #Amiga #gameads #90s #Retromags

A full-page magazine print ad. It has Cannon Fodder on the top in yellow military stencil full-caps text, and the tagline War Has Never Been So Much Fun at the bottom, and a camo green background with a soldier blended into it.

SCRAMBLE! SCRAMBLE! LYLAT SYSTEM UNDER ATTACK! 🚨

This is a snippet of a pretty nifty Japanese store promo for the ever-lovely Starfox. It's such a wonderful SNES game that's one of the big nostalgic heavy-hitters for me but still manages to be an absolute solid experience to play today.

GO STARFOX TEAM! 🚀

From the One Amiga, May 1991 - Crystals of Arborea! Where Silmarils first flexed its CRPG graphic prowess on the road to Ishar.

Still a very pretty game and serves as a neat chronological prequel to the Ishar games.

For your FAMIly COMputer - Metroid! Now on a futuristic floppy disk. The wave of the future, cartridges are out, goodbye...

No wait, mapper chips are here, come back all is forgiven.

The FDS is such a fascinating thing, and this Japanese commercial for Metroid has some amazing 80s Doctor Who energy.
