I know they’re insensitive and tacky, but I have to admit that a part of me misses when games ads were off the walls like this.

These are some of the tamest ads of that era, too.

It looks that way because he is holding the Game Boy Pocket and not the OG Game Boy

I’m a nerd and I’d give up both motorcycling and gaming for a girlfriend.

I can’t figure out if it’s drawn or early 3d modeling that they decided to add to a Gameboy ad for some reason.
