    This came from reddit, but though I'd repost here.

    This guy put together an album of all the video games ads he could find from 1972 to 1996: https://imgur.com/a/gPEEe

    this actually made me flashback to a desktop game I had years ago that was even crap in the 80's :)

    can pick one up for €28 but even at that price it's too much :D

    I love old marketing ads, cheesy,risqué, bizarre. Everything is so homogenized and formulaic now in comparison.For me I think it peaked around the early 90s.
