I happened to be going through the archive of these magazines, just to
read some old-timey reviews for the fun of it (What? It was quiet
night and nothing was on TV!) when I came across this ad.

It was in the August 1995 issue; a double-page advert for a
then-popular video game. I really don't want to spoil it for you,
because it needs to be seen to be believed.

Download the PDF here (it's only 12mb):

Turn to pages 6 & 7 (you'll probably want to view it in 'dual page'
mode since it spreads across both pages).

Realize the past was a VERY different place from where we are now.





And this is why I /love/ archives like these. ;-)
