- TedDoesntTalk 3y agoI mean, that’s just not true. When the ads targeted kids, they didn’t involve as much sex appeal: Laser Blast TV Commercial https://archive.org/embed/laser_blast_commercial https://archive.org/embed/laser_blast_commercial But when they targeted adults, sex appeal was huge.
- joezydeco 3y agoWe're talking about trade marketing ads for coin-operated games in the 1970s-1990s. That's what the blog post is showing. Don't believe me, go to https://flyers.arcade-museum.com/ https://flyers.arcade-museum.com/ that was posted above and walk through each and every one. I used to collect these things, but I'll let you find the answer yourself.
- ceautery 3y agoOff topic, but Laser Blast was a great 2600 game. The ground stayed "hot" after you shot it, so a near miss could be a kill if the enemy rolled into the hot zone. The controls were modal - you could move your ship around with the stick, or hold the fire button down and aim your laser, which fired when you let go of the button. Creative work by the Activision devs.
