Ultimate Arcade Advertisement Mistake

Ultimate Arcade Advertisement

An advertisement for Ultimate Arcade(2).  Looks nifty huh?  There's a bunch of games on that list.  But uh... do you see the mistake?  It has something to do with Burgertime. Mmm Burgertime.  Someone ought to be ashamed of themselves for letting a mistake this big slip through.  Wait Wait Wait!  There is another mistake too!  What's up with Street Fighter 2?  Side two says Press Start.  Chun Li and Ryu are fighting on Blanka's stage.  This can only happen in a two player game.   What's going on here?!?

Nintendo Ad – December 20th 1987

Nintendo Advertisement Sudden Death

When thumbing through an old copy of Gamepro Magazine, I stumbled on this advertisement for Goal! on Nintendo.  I don't know anything about the sport of soccer, but this advertisement teaches me alot.  First of all it teaches me that a kick to the crotch is an acceptable move. I'm being sarcastic of course, but if this was true then soccer just got interesting...

Now does page two of the ad imply that the kick to the crotch has resulted in the fatality of the Goalie?  Sudden Death should be the name of this game.. Not Goal!  Nintendo ads are the best.. and this one just gave me an idea for a new label... details later.
