It’s a good day when this thread gets a new post.
Official Sega Dreamcast Magazine, Issue 10, Holiday 2000 (VGHF)
oh man, for the standards of its time, i recall thinking the johnny turbo ads were pretty horny
tame compared to the lad mag stuff this thread has brought up in the time since, but still
lol
Easily the most shocking ad I have seen in this thread lmfao
How do we advertise our quiet point and click adventure game about a mild-mannered tourist who finds himself embroiled in an intriguing historical drama?
Bingo.
I really wanted to be the one to dig this up and share it, but I can’t find it anywhere…
I distinctly remember a Halo 3 teaser in a print magazine, I think, with text along the lines of “Spartan Lasers, Dual Wielding, and Brokeback Riding … and two of those are true”! With a picture of two spartans riding a mongoose.
I really think I’m remembering this, and I don’t think I could possibly invent it in my own head!
The only periodicals I would have ever looked at in this era would have been Game Informer or Official Xbox Magazine. I looked through all the archives of OXM I could find in the likely timeline and didn’t find it.
This looks like a job for the still freshly launched VGHF archive!
It is real, but its from Electronic Gaming Monthly, #210
EGM had three separate brokeback cracks like this between 205~222. Truly a time.
