There's a bit of wisdom that's been lost over the years in the video game industry. It's something you'd think the marketing gurus would have held on to no matter what, but alas the days of yore are gone, those glory days when the arcade world knew how to sell a video game - with the ladies.
The world's first arcade video game and they get it right on the first try. And while their later advertisements weren't quite as sultry...
...you still get fine women sporting awesome 70s fashion to sell the product. Not anime girls. Not Rob Liefeld knock-offs. Not fucking Mario. Fine women, the way God and Nolan Bushnell intended.
However, as sexy as Computer Space was, if you really want the hot advertising action, there's only one word that comes to mind. That word is...Pong.
Let's not forget the hot action waiting overseas!
And once things go beyond simple Pong...why, there's no turning back!
Iwata, Kutaragi, and Moore take note - that's the way you do it! I expect to see a dramatic increase in the quality of your advertising as soon as possible. Thanks to the Arcade Flyer Archive for the important history lesson.
