Can we take a moment to appreciate terrible game covers/art/ads/etc.

[bartre]

This jumped out at me today, from Death Crimson OX:


any others you can think of?

[esteban]

What the heck did I just read?

[DragonmasterDan]

What the heck did I just read?

I believe that's the title crawl to the new Star Wars movie.

Hahjahahhahaja.

[Opethian]

[NecroPhile]

Mmm, mac and cheese.


Eww, give it a crack.

[jtucci31]

Some men's ass cracks would not make me buy anything.

[DragonmasterDan]

Some men's ass cracks would not make me buy anything.

Only some? Meaning others would?

I can firmly state that none would make me buy anything. :-D

[esteban]

I suddenly have the urge to play baseball.

[NecroPhile]

I can firmly state that none would make me buy anything. :-D

Not even your own crack would get you to buy a belt?

[DragonmasterDan]

[

You can ask a lot of the forum members on here who've met me in person or hired me for plumbing services. I'm clearly in need of a belt and lo and behold it's not there.

None? Not even hot lady's crack?

[DragonmasterDan]

It was specified earlier that this was in reference to men's cracks.

My point exactly

[EmperorIng]

There sure are a lot of posts and not enough images.



Keanu's early career put him in some very out there roles.

[esteban]

^ Is that actually Keanu?  I never knew he was in that flyer. Hilarious.

[TR0N]

I still like to know how cosplay april'o'neil got in this 

[esteban]

^^^ I have never seen these flyers. They are so goofy. Wonderful.

[DragonmasterDan]

She's both posed and grinning like she just cut one.

Man, that hair on April.  It was a different time so I'm wondering if it is real and was actually teased out to look like that, or if it is an over the top wig.

[DragonmasterDan]

That's hot.  I found a nice G rated Yuko cosplay ad... this was before it was discovered that tits sold games.

Whoever made that ad was all like
"So you want me to hire a promotional model for this ad?
 NEVAR!
I'll just get my moms best friend Helen and dress her up in a stupid outfit that doesn't match the character sprite"

Apparently Helen ruins everything.  This is probably why her husband left her as well.

Thirty Helens agree

I remember that ad it does look like they hire there own cosplayer  By the way speaking of bad renovation ads remember this one 

[esteban]

This was a game I never even knew about until some folks from the old tg-16 forum told me about it.

[SuperGrafx]

That long-haired dude was in a few Renovation ads.   
Seeing that made me reconsider my career aspirations of becoming a game play counselor.

[Gentlegamer]

Joe Redifer made a rad custom box art for Gaiares.

That TMNT pic was also part of the coin-op marquee on the side.

[PukeSter]

Cyber Lip ad for the Neo Geo 


Earthbound 

[SuperGrafx]

I really detested the Nintendo advertising style during the mid 1990's.
Everything had this weird grunge-era vibe to it.

[bartre]

I'm pretty sure every kid ever had a toy sword like the one at the bottom right.

[Gentlegamer]

I found Joe's custom Gaiares cover.

[EmperorIng]

This one always mystified me.

Why include such a face of horror and disgust? Can the plumbing problems be that bad?

[ParanoiaDragon]

If you're working on mutant zombie pipes........than yes, they can apparently!

I friggin' love the juxtaposition of those two distinctly different images/aesthetics...somebody just rammed the two together...and the final product is totally incongruous—BUT THAT JUST MAKES IT MORE BEAUTIFUL.

Unless this is a puzzle game + prison rape simulation, which, actually,  would be an intriguing blending of genres...

Heh, that 32X one is pretty funny.

Sega had some really racy ads in the UK too.  I remember one specifically was about "it" getting harder the more you play with it.

[NightWolve]

Keanu's early career put him in some very out there roles.

Hah, no kidding, that's Reeves on the right there ? Never knew about this.

Good lulz in this thread BTW.

Hey, why would you file this one under "terrible game covers/art/ads/etc." ?? ;)

[TR0N]

[SuperGrafx]

They really should have chosen a better photo for SUPER SPY...

That one is just so wrong on so many levels...
