nosweargamer Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Over on my facebook & twitter, I like to post ads I scan from old comic books and magazines. I figured I'd start sharing some of them here! Here's the first for NES Sports Games by Konami!

socrates63 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 👍 I've seen Blades of Steel before but didn't even know about the other two Konami NES sports titles. Thanks for sharing.

nosweargamer Posted August 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Lazer Tag I really like the design of the gun and think it still looks futuristic even today. Too bad it didn't work with my Atari 7800!

RickR Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I have a few of those now. I can attest that they are all terrible. Especially those ones with a "dome". nosweargamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I should send you one of those for a review because it's a terrible design. The dome kind of tips just a little in each direction. You expect it to kind of "roll". I can't think of a single game that this would work for. It's just too slow and cumbersome. It makes you question whether anyone at Quickshot ever tried their own device. As AVGN would say: WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to be pretty rad -- looks like Tony Hawk and other boarders are in it. I haven't watched it, but I remember the seeing the cover of the box back in the 80s, very iconic poster. I didn't know that Josh Brolin was in it. nosweargamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socrates63 Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 STRIPE! I was solving the puzzle in my head and it took me a while and a bit of frustration. I originally had one of the letters as an H instead of R. Back to NSG's question -- no, I stuck with the original. I do recall eating striped cookies made by the Keebler Elves though. nosweargamer and HDN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosweargamer Posted September 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Acclaim Remote Controller There is a ton of fun, craziness in this ad, from the kid calling it the Acclaim Remote (not the name) to the wrestlers being true giants. And who needs Airwolf's awesome weapons when you have this remote to shoot out the window! socrates63, HDN and RickR 2 1 Quote The No Swear Gamer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtJuo040EOCTVziObIgVcg Host of The Atari 7800 Game by Game Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDN Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 That is by far the most bizarre, over-dramatic and unrealistic advert I have ever seen. It makes Puppy-Monkey-Baby seem like one of those tame arthritis medication commercials, where all they do is walk in the park with their grandkids and play golf. nosweargamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
