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.

Here are some TG-16 listings from the Sears christmas catalogs from the early 1990s

I love the guy obviously trying to twist the D-pad in the TE.

MrFlutterPie · 12/31/2012, 10:42 PM

Haha that idiot doesn't know how to use a D-Pad.

Love all the old retro ads

BigusSchmuck · 12/31/2012, 11:13 PM

Thats exactly what I was looking for.

MrFlutterPie · 12/31/2012, 11:53 PM

^Nice they used the Japanese screen shots.

Which make sense when you think about it.

Nec.Game.head · 01/01/2013, 04:52 AM

Ah man the Jaminator.. I had the Kawasaki one man jam guitar ... It totally kicked the Jaminators ass !! Great super old school adds ...

PCEngineHell · 01/01/2013, 05:24 AM

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.

DragonmasterDan · 01/01/2013, 07:12 AM

I remember a fair number of those ads, and the Cosmic Fantasy 2 preview from EGM.

turbokon · 01/01/2013, 11:33 AM

Never seen thoses add before. Power Golf for 59.99, lol.
