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.
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.
Yay!
I watched a whole video essay on these the other day. Companies got away with some wild shit back then
there was a super Gameboy?
It plugged into the SNES so you could play GB games on the TV
Absolute best way to play Pokemon Red & Blue, IMO.
It offered color for GB games before the GameBoy Color existed! 😃
oh yea now i remember. cool
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
I'm a nerd and I'd give up both motorcycling and gaming for a girlfriend.
Yeah, but aren't his hands crazy large?
It looks that way because he is holding the Game Boy Pocket and not the OG Game Boy
It's an ad for the Gameboy Pocket.
Hands made for spanking.
GameBoy Pocket
Some good nostalgia and my god they wouldn't dare see the light of day anymore.
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.
