The girl on the right has a weird butthole

4 dimensional graphics

Like nowaday's AAAA

Bullshitting never changes

Which is funny because the Neo-Geo was a very much sprite-based 2D machine. What did they even mean by "4D"?

This PlayStation 2 advert (safe for work) came not long after that:

E was really damn popular during that time, so why not?

I'll never forget this one. Never played the game though because it was famously riddled with bugs.

I remember an ad for Half Life of all games that went "She's smart, has a great personality, and knows that the way to a man's heart is through his sternum."

Bonus: here's some from the 1980s

Konami was killing it back then.

Definitely thought the one on the right was wearing a plug, at first.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

She is. ;-)

It's NEO GEO... Come on. Of course he's playing it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Where were these?

Because I don't recall ever seeing ads like this.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I remember seeing the left one in EGM

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

Same. Definitely remember that one, tag line and all.

I def remember at least three of these in magazines back in the day. I particularly recall being a confused child looking at the tennis one. What is in that girl's ass?

Someone elsewhere in the comments said they remembered seeing one in playboy magazine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Probably in playboy and such

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I vividly remember that first one from when I got into my uncles playboy stash in my youth…
