Wm.sonDisappointed this game wasn't a lady slicing up families with her blade. Oh well.

Coffeehound RetroSharka 🏳️⚧️The classiest advert for Populous I've ever seen. It feels monolithic and formal (as Electronic Arts stuff could be then!), or as someone commented on it, a bit like an obituary ;o;
The original god game - Populous!
"Unquestionably the Game of the Year" (1989)

A totally radical development in game cheat technology - GAME GENIE!
It's totally radical 'cause this is an early 90s North American ad replete with Bill & Ted energy. Feels like such a parody of those commercials... while being an actual X-TREME 90s commercial.

The Elder Scrolls franchise starts here: Arena!
Released in Feb 1994, The Elder Scrolls: Arena was a sandbox CRPG unlike any other. It offered up the whole of Tamriel with hundreds of towns and dungeons to explore, crafting and spell creation systems - and laid the foundation for the franchise's lore.
Trivia: While the manual claims you can walk from one settlement to another, you actually can't; the area between them is infinite if you try. You need to use the fast travel system.
Beginning life as a gladiatorial combat game, the name Arena was later retconned into a nickname used by Tamriel's denizens for their world to reflect its harsh nature.
📖: Computer Gaming World, Aug 1994.

Having a read through some old Amiga mags and came across this ad that still managed to make my pulse quicken a bit. TFX! There was going to be no other sim like it, it was going to be the ultimate combat flight simulator.
I don't think I ever played it in the end and leapt right to EF2000.

Tales of Might & Magic for your Super Famicom - and a cool poster of perilous adventure.

Namco flew high at E3 1997 with this promotional poster for ACE COMBAT 2 on PlayStation.
Are any fedinauts within broadcast range of this toot fans of Namco's arcade flight sim series, as I am? AC2 is frequently named as peeps' favourite of the series (That's reserved for the PS2 incarnations for me) and yeah, it's a big step up from Air Combat, an arcade conversion with some extra gubbins for the home port.
And this is a pretty swish and eye-catching poster!

rhtunstall#Microsoft has started slipping #GameAds into my #Xbox power up screen and I fucking hate it.
More disgusting predatory behaviour from an Uber rich company that makes a business of buying up smaller game companies and ruining them.
They’ve destroyed #Bethesda, #Activision and countless others. I truly believe their #greedy #monopoly will ultimately kill the #gamingindustry.
What a age old legacy this pitiful conglomerate #Microsoft is trashing! They even upped the #GamePass price to boot! #Microsoft is just a #CorporateTrash company.
