Thought this was cool.
I love seeing all these old ads.
I used to read the Sears wishbook over and over as a kid.
Nice find! That takes me back!
I regret not getting a TG-16 when they first came out. I got a SNES, and my brother got a Genny (both on Xmas morning). Luckily, his best friend eventually got a TG-16 and we had the best of all three machines.
Thanks for sharing. If only I can go back in time and show my parents this add...

Yup me too. Over and over so many times you knew it by heart.
I remember the Johnny Turbo ones in EGM and Cosmic Fantasy 2. Man those bring back memories...
I love seeing prices from days gone by. It's nice to see $59.99 on the Genesis games. I like seeing how inflation has worked its magic, and how much I'm paying now compared to then.
That jaminator kicks ass

I love the guy obviously trying to twist the D-pad in the TE.
Haha that idiot doesn't know how to use a D-Pad.
Love all the old retro ads :)

Thats exactly what I was looking for. :)
^Nice they used the Japanese screen shots.
Which make sense when you think about it.
Ah man the Jaminator.. I had the Kawasaki one man jam guitar ... It totally kicked the Jaminators ass !! Great super old school adds ...
I love these old ads. I don't know why, but everything just seemed so much more bad ass when they described game systems back then.
I remember a fair number of those ads, and the Cosmic Fantasy 2 preview from EGM.
Never seen thoses add before. Power Golf for 59.99, lol.
