Damn. I remember my older brother pre ordering this Zelda OOT package for like $80. It included a gold cartridge, a strategy guide and a year subscription to Nintendo Power. I remember there was a particular time of the month I would heavily anticipate waiting for the next magazine to come in. What a time to have been alive.

The boobplate armor is lulz. They took the idea of a breastplate a little too literally.

Day 7: Quest 64

Love it! Q64 in general was one of those cooler, quirky N64 titles. The art style and magic system made up for the often kinda lousy gameplay and iirc stupidly high random encounter rate (I remember a *lot* of fights)

Can't go wrong with a giant photo of Boba Fett, even if he was one of the smaller parts of the game.

Day 15: Secret of Evermore

Huh. That's a fucking crazy poster. I understand that it's referencing the time travel aspect, but it doesn't really highlight any of the game's appeal or generate interest.

As for SoE itself, I got stuck in the Roman times, when you were expected to use what you had to buy crap to trade for better gear

I think the only time I might have had an actual sub was when they had a promo LoZ headset with the sub. (That or maybe also when they let you use Nintendo points for it? I think that was also a thing?)

I liked NP. It was pretty decent.

Neat, eye-catching poster... but I'm not sure how everything ties together? You just have Bob in a window and, for some reason, Bart is nonchalantly holding a hammer behind his back.

Kinda meh. And are all vampire hunters half-naked? That's a weird style choice since I thought they were clothed in the game.

Who's the guy giving the jumping headlock? Is that Rick Steiner?

Also it's weird seeing the younger Big Show, whose face hasn't really seemed to age that much although his hair certainly did >_>

I remember it being a big deal that the Mavericks were all animal-based instead of the normal "____ Man" format the original series followed.

The new formula kinda was a big deal, since breaking away from the old/classic formula certainly let them get a bit more creative with the designs without it looking weird. And a lot of the Maverick designs were really cool, even right out the gate (although others, like Flame Mammoth, were pretty goofy-looking)

I love how they have the villain collab dialogue right in the poster.

Love the included mascots which has a whole "One of these characters is not like the others, one of these characters does not belong" (and it's not the baseball player >_>)

Even at the time, Killer Instinct didn't really feel like it was going to be a standout franchise, and history has kinda proved that right since not much has happened with the franchise in its over 25-year history. (And speaking of fighters consigned to the dustbin of gaming history, I'd still love to see another Primal Rage. Of course, the proposed sequel was just fucking stupid because it was going to replace the giant dinos/monsters with human avatars, making it just like any other fighting game except with PR's wonky control scheme.)

Yassssss.... Wicked poster. They kept it simple. The only thing that looks a little off is the logo which shows the roster. tbh, I'm half-tempted to bust out my SNES tonight and... oh right, I can't find the remote for my old tube tv so I don't think I can switch it to the right channel to play it.

Ah primal rage. My brother and I played the shit out of that game. Neither of us knew how to really pull off any moves so we'd just button mash and we'd both call the other a cheater.
