Metal Gear NES Advertisement

I remember when this ad was first printed. I couldn't wait to get this game. So many cool weapons and possibilities. But would it be as fun to play as they made it seem? Yeah, it was! They sure don't make them like this anymore.

I love how they supply an "Iron Glove" to explain the fact that you can smash walls with your bare knuckles.

Today they illustrate things with the same content present inside the game itself but in 80's and early 90's the games advertisements, covers, user's guides etc was illustrated by drawings that do not existed inside the game itself. I remember of me choosing games by the cover (as we had no source of information at that time).

One of this games with cool covers was this one:
Double+Dragon+(Front).jpg

I cant forget the day I've buy it.

too bad that I do not have it anymore :(

It was always cool to see the illustrations people made for games, as those illustrations were basically the only way to tell what you were playing back then. Especially the bad ones. Those were probably the best, in my opinion.

Also, they misspelled Beretta.

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    I'm not american and even that sends shivers down my spine.
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    anything that offers trump an opportunity to become an actual dictator
    is bad in my book, i could care less if it wasn't for that...

    @Veho, didn't need any news. Just going to the store and buying groceries is a constant reminder.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    A reminder that all corporations reported record profits these last few years?

  • Veho @ Veho:
    Reminded that every single price gouging law was blocked by republicans because "muh gubmint overreach"?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Won't somebody please think of the corporations?!?!
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The problem with X party blocked X bill that would have prevented X is that yes the bill probably would have worked great, buuuttt they put XYZDCBG in said bill as an attempt to sneak things in that tend to be completely unrelated to the original bills intent. It sucks because if they would just do a single thing they could probably get something done...
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But congressman X needs to have government funding for his cousins unicycle business
