Okay I am FASCINATED by this ad & announcement from the 1870s

I mean, Satan taking a keg – into hell – is just a throwaway background detail

"At J. W. Tufts' arctic pavilion... may be seen the largest and most magnificent soda water apparatus in the world. Its towering height of costly marbles, and its elegant architecture, (embellished with a tropical garden) ... altogether constitutes the grandest achievement of this description that has ever been accomplished.

"Its immense ice-cavern is reached by a flight of stairs from the cellar, and in its ample space, numbers of workmen perform their duties of supplying it with ice and its delicious fruit syrups, with perfect freedom. Height, 33 feet. Value $25,000. Pay it a visit."

from the Centennial Exhibition (World's Fair), Philadelphia PA

From November 1989's issue of The One, two bits of pure arcade hype and iconic ads.

Along with R-Type, these two always make me feel echoes of arcade excitement, when the arcades were where you saw the coolest and most advanced games.

Then you crossed your fingers that the home ports did them justice!

Is it a makeup or shaving mirror? No! It's the new iMac - at least new in 2002!

Weirdly enough, it feels more contemporary in design in the present age of dots and echoes and smart devices than it might have then!
