| COKTOE said: This FFVII/PS1 print ad from Sony and Square is pretty nasty. Taking aim at Nintendo, the N64 and it's use of cartridges. This is not the full ad, but it is the probably the cleanest image of it I could find.
Pictured - "Somebody please get the guys who make cartridge games a cigarette and a blindfold" Not pictured, at the bottom of the ad - "Possibly the greatest game ever made is available only on Playstation. Good thing. If it were available on cartridge, it's retail for around $1,200." Link to a blurry af and ginormous full image: http://i.imgur.com/AzkZb44.jpg |
I was going to post this if someone else did not. One of the most important gaming ads ever. I still remember coming across this for the first time in the library at school. I was furious ... but I still ended up getting a Playstation because of Final Fantasy 7.
Funny to look back and remember that I once believed Nintendo would crush Playstation and kick Sony out of the gaming industry with little effort. I think Nintendo believed the same thing, actually.
