Nintendo Ad - December 20th 1987

From the bowels of the internet comes the ad you see above for Nintendo, it's games, and even the Nintendo Advantage joystick.  This ad was pulished for Fred Meyer, in the Register-Guard in Eugene Oregon on December 20th, 1987.  Mint Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! for $29.97?  If only we knew then what we knew now!

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.
