This is almost 100% of the reason I buy comic books. Bonus: what the frick is Bill Clinton doing sneaking into my comic-books years before his political career began?

Hell yea, I still have my Game Genie. I lost all of my Nintendo Powers in Katrina though.

That Atari Lynx looks better designed than today's handhelds.

I have one of the original gamer magazines.

It has really really old games in it.

Tons of great ads.

I wish I had the time to scan off my my Nintendo Power, EGM, Game Pro, and PSM magazines. The ads in those were pure gold.






The Mega Man robot design contest results were hilarious.

I have a box of old early 90s comic books with tons of this stuff. I used to have some EGM magazines from the SNES/Genesis and PSX/Saturn/N64 era that I got from my brother, but I lost them years ago.

I tried to find the original ad/meme it spawned but this was the best I could do on Google. Just the pic alone always cracks me up.

Also searching for late 80s/early 90s video games ads is quite the rabbit hole to fall down into even if you didn't grow up in that era.
