  6. 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)

  11. 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.

  16. 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.

  21. 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.

  26. 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.

  31. 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!

  36. #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.

  41. 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.
