Konami was killing it back then.
4 dimensional graphics
Like nowaday’s AAAA
Bullshitting never changes
Which is funny because the Neo-Geo was a very much sprite-based 2D machine. What did they even mean by “4D”?
Well it’s 1 more than 3D so it must be better right???
The girl on the right has a weird butthole
I remember an ad for Half Life of all games that went “She’s smart, has a great personality, and knows that the way to a man’s heart is through his sternum.”
Where were these?
Because I don’t recall ever seeing ads like this.
Someone elsewhere in the comments said they remembered seeing one in playboy magazine.
I def remember at least three of these in magazines back in the day. I particularly recall being a confused child looking at the tennis one. What is in that girl’s ass?
It’s NEO GEO… Come on. Of course he’s playing it
I vividly remember that first one from when I got into my uncles playboy stash in my youth…
If this sort of thing was commonplace, I wonder if this overtly male-focused advertising (I say “male-focused” as males, who are majority heterosexual, would be the largest collective that would be attracted to this sort of advertising) had anything to do with video games being stereotypically associated with males. Perhaps it’s a sort of positive feedback. If so, I wonder what the initial bias towards males was.
I’ll never forget this one. Never played the game though because it was famously riddled with bugs.

E was really damn popular during that time, so why not?
