Yes. It didn't set the country on fire but they were decent.

Decent sales to have a plethora of games that north America wouldn't see since localization costs weren't worth it

Right? Why do they even make fake ones like these? It messes with history. I mean, this particular example might not be a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but if there were thousands of these made and a history in the future wanted to make a documentation about 90s gaming advertisements, they'd have to sift through a bunch of fakes.

this one looks legit though.

Also hawt, but VMU is weird.

It's really well made, but I can point out a few weird things.

• Weird black thing under 圧倒的, not a Japanese character
• Weird black thing between S and E of the big SEGA
• There's a belt buckle but not really a belt on her pants
• The words Power, and Access on the console are illegible but clearly don't have the proper number of letters
• The Japanese copy is weird: why underline "controlpad" "in-game world" "control as you"; ます ending out of nowhere; lots of commas; miswrote Nights and Evangelion
• Awkwardly separates Sega and Saturn in the logo just to show... her belt buckle?
• Price is wrong
• Japan didn't require adding "+ tax" or "excl tax" until 2004.

fact

I like that I can hear it every time I see it

My first experience with it was through the recreation in The Mask movie with Jim Carrey. I only saw the cartoon later in life and then understood the reference.

This is my favorite gif to send to my gf when she sends me a spicy pic. Unsurprisingly, it shows up if you search for "wolf whistle" :)

Only because she hasn't been introduced to lineage os.

I wonder what her favorite editor is. I bet it's Vim.

That's because the name is fake and the ad is also fake, it is posted with different names in different places but was identified as AI fake by audience (see another thread here, too)

As a teenager I loved that game. I'd absolutely hate it now. Great vision with a wet fart of an execution. I should give the fan patch version a chance.

Does it finally make one his bitch, though?

The Game Boy Color game is actually pretty rad fresh out of the box (or from Romero's website).

Virtua Fighter was my jam back in the day. Loved that game and all 12 of its polygons!

Solid list but you missed Saturn Bomberman. That version is one of the best ones.

Also Astal which was beautiful.

Iv been waiting for a steam sale. I cant bring myself to pay 35 for such a old game, even if its worth it. But man i havent played it since the pc release back when, me and my dad both had a save file. Good times.

overwhelming: the (shock?) of 32-bit CG

圧倒的。ビット32CG衝撃。

Yeah this is it. "Overwhelming" and then it could also be something like "the 32-bit CG impact" or maybe "32-bit CG is a shocker", so definitely talking about the console. Although writing "bit 32CG" would be an odd way to phrase it these days, but I guess there are a lot of tech phrases from 30 years ago in English too that sound pretty strange now.

The main tagline is on the top right that's basically "Games are changing. The future is changing."

ゲームが変わる。未来が変わる。

No way! I didn't know MW4 was on Saturn. I only played that on PC. Mercenaries was the SHIT.

That was the Dreamcast.

Yeah okay that's the grey model with blue buttons. Wasn't paying attention to those... for some reason. It looks darker here due to photography, printing, and/or scanning.
