The girl on the right has a weird butthole
Bonus: here’s some from the 1980s
Konami was killing it back then.

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”?
Well it’s 1 more than 3D so it must be better right???
If this sort of thing was commonplace, I wonder if this overtly male-focused advertising (I say “male-focused” as males, who are majority heterosexual, would be the largest collective that would be attracted to this sort of advertising) had anything to do with video games being stereotypically associated with males. Perhaps it’s a sort of positive feedback. If so, I wonder what the initial bias towards males was.
if it was, it happened really fast since the association didn’t exist before 1986.
before the video game crash, game systems were sold in electronics stores. afterwards, when Nintendo wanted to lose the association with the crash, they went t toy stores… and toy stores gender every product, at least back then, so they had to decide which side to put it on.
This PlayStation 2 advert (safe for work) came not long after that:
E was really damn popular during that time, so why not?
safe for work
Where do you work??
I’ll never forget this one. Never played the game though because it was famously riddled with bugs.

As a teenager of the nineties, I’m very, very aware of that. 😂
Now we get to find out if Derek has a lemmy account.
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.”

She is. ;-)
Where were these?
Because I don’t recall ever seeing ads like this.
I remember seeing the left one in EGM
Same. Definitely remember that one, tag line and all.
Someone elsewhere in the comments said they remembered seeing one in playboy magazine.
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?
Probably in playboy and such
I vividly remember that first one from when I got into my uncles playboy stash in my youth…
It’s NEO GEO… Come on. Of course he’s playing it
