So there is no secret, I used to love video games growing up (as I am sure most of you did as well). So I stumbled upon some awesome vintage video game ads recently and I wanted to share them with you guys! Sadly, I remember almost ALL of these ads from when I used to obsessively collect and read every issue of EGM (electronic gaming monthly), gamefan, gamepro, nintendo power and all the other video game magazines from that time period. So when I saw these I was overcome with much Nostalgia and great geeky memories from my childhood. Those were the days! I hope I can inspire you with these AMAZING print ads on your next web or Poster Printing project, or just take you down memory lane for a while and get all warm and fuzzy – either way.
Enjoy!
(I reallyyyy wanted one of these when I was a kid, but never actually got it)
(Fun game, fond memories playing this at my grandma’s house when I was little)
(Nerdy Confession: I had a ridiculous obsession with Sonic when I was little, now my 4 year old has a similar obsession with him and Mario)
(One of the best fighting games of all time IMO)
(When I was a kid I thought this technology was simply amazing. Magic even!)
(loved my n64)
(trololol)
(lol these things died out before I had a chance to even want one)
(These were amazing, but I never wanted one because I wanted to play the actual game as intended lol)
(these were badass.)
(lol the mountie? hahahaha)

(this ad actually made me go out and get that thing, but I quickly returned it due to suckage)
