Out of pure nostalgia, I bought a pile of old Games magazines on eBay. I went through the mags, scanned the videogame ads, and posted them on Flickr for your enjoyment. I almost forgot how many weird, obsolete systems there were. Anyhow, enjoy.
Tell me what you're thinking...
and oh, if you want a pic to show with your comment, go get a gravatar!
Since 2000, Scrubbles.net has been the online stomping grounds for Phoenix, AZ designer Matt Hinrichs. I'm a curious and curmudgeonly type who gets off on obscure and unsung pop culture of yore. Or something like that.

i know i left a comment on your flickr set, but i thought i’d say once again how cool this whole set was! :)
Thanks, William!
Yes, very cool stuff, Matt. I was a video game junkie — old school style, of course. I had a couple of the old Electronic Games magazines back in the day. I may have to scan some pages and send them to you. You’ll get a big kick outta them, for sure.
haha… these ads brought back some memories dude… Great idea too!
Yeah! I used to get those early Electronic Games magazines at the grocery store. I don’t have them anymore, unfortunately, but I did manage to save an issue of Joystik magazine from 1983, remember that one?
I’m not sure if I remember Joystik — it sounds naughty.
You should scan some of it and put it on your Flickr set!
