Game Mags 'N Ads
This section is for magazine scans, game ads, promotional goodies, and other miscellaneous memoribalia. Because there are SO many ads out there, we aren't going to break them down by system, but by company. There will be scans of anything game related, even if we run across something in the newspaper or TIME magazine or something. We will eventually break them down by letter and then by drop-down menu, but there is no need for such things at this time. Some of these scans are going to be pretty large (it depends on the size of the ad in question).
NEW!: While we could just tell you about them, the real memories in our opinions come from looking at all the old captions and silly ads. Magazines are a dying breed these days with the Internet dominating the information highway (especially with the recent news of EGM and Ziff Davis going bankrupt) so we're going to try and preserve bits and pieces of them here. We will have to see how far we can go since the images will take up a lot of our hosting space. We are cleaning up the old ads (since some of them are battered by age) and we will keep the quality as high as we can, but it's still an experimental step. From Official Dreamcast Magazine ads to Nintendo Fun Club stuff and more, we'll put them up! If you wish to contact us in this regard to provide us with additional info, contact us at worldofgaming@yahoo.com [Note: Ads with games are going purely by publishers, not developers. Also, not all Ads are by game companies, but stores of the time and such]. For some added convenience, we've set up pages within the page for you to jump to. Since we still don't know exactly how we want to set this up, this is the only measure we've taken thus far. Click the letter to reach the section you want. You can hit backspace or the previous button/arrow/etc. to go back.
