 |
|
This is kind of a funny one. I'd skipped over the ad dozens of times while flipping through EGM issue 16 (Nov. 1990) but when I finally read the text, I noticed they used trade-only words usually aimed at retailers and distributors:
"Arcade Classic Breathes Fire Into Nintendo Market
Coming soon to the NES and Game Boy markets!
Over fifty million in arcade revenues!
More than 300,000 units sold in the PC market!
Guaranteed recognition means continuous sales!
It will be an exciting quest to vanquish the foul, fire-breathing dragon and rescue Princess Daphne, while generating phenomenal sales for these exciting new game releases."
Normally these kinds of ads don't ever appear in regular consumer magazines. |

| Well, I would rather have sold NES Dragon's Lair as a child than played it, if that's what they mean. |
