Remember when you would buy a game based of the cover art

[Yade]

Then worship the back of the box , and reading the booklet until you got home

 

[Kid Dynamite]

In the 80's early to mid 90s, toy's r us used to have the cover and back of the game about the size of a pamphlet in the game section ...no youtube trailers/game play vids to see if it was a good game, just a damn cover and back

Underneath it was a ticket and you took that to the register and they'd bring you your game.

[Neuromancer]

[ORDER_66]

NOPE every game I brought I kinda knew what I was getting into especially when I had my playstation 1... you had to make the right choice beyond cover art...

Thread just made me realize most games don't have commercials for them anymore

That’s true
Unless it’s like Red Dead or GTA


I remember when I use to see new MK games on TV I didn’t have internet so I found out when they dropped

 

[Hopeofmypeople]

Yo especially reading the booklet part, some games don’t even come with that anymore. If it was an RPG on the way home you would read up on the characters and their special abilities etc....
