^ Is that actually Keanu?  I never knew he was in that flyer. Hilarious.

Man, that hair on April.  It was a different time so I'm wondering if it is real and was actually teased out to look like that, or if it is an over the top wig.

That's hot.  I found a nice G rated Yuko cosplay ad... this was before it was discovered that tits sold games.



Whoever made that ad was all like
"So you want me to hire a promotional model for this ad?
 NEVAR!
I'll just get my moms best friend Helen and dress her up in a stupid outfit that doesn't match the character sprite"

Apparently Helen ruins everything.  This is probably why her husband left her as well.

This was a game I never even knew about until some folks from the old tg-16 forum told me about it.

That long-haired dude was in a few Renovation ads.   
Seeing that made me reconsider my career aspirations of becoming a game play counselor.

Joe Redifer made a rad custom box art for Gaiares.

That TMNT pic was also part of the coin-op marquee on the side.

I really detested the Nintendo advertising style during the mid 1990's.
Everything had this weird grunge-era vibe to it.

I'm pretty sure every kid ever had a toy sword like the one at the bottom right.
