'buy our game, it's just like an old dodgy tart'. Enter at your own risk, because like strawberry float are we showing you what the game actually looks like.

Is there a whole series of these? Old Dodgy Twats...

I like how it has the tag "No gamers under 17 - No exceptions"... thus guaranteeing that nearly all under seventeens will want to check it out!

Found Sony's response to this advert (also posted on page 8), which apparently received hundreds of complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority in 1998:

Image

Sony Computer Entertainment spokesperson in response:

“The advert is written in snowboard speak, and is meant to reflect the adrenaline rush of the sport. Although the advert was designed to be purely a reference to the excitement of snowboarding, we now understand that some people perceive it to maintain references to drugs. Sony Computer Entertainment therefore decided to remove all posters from UK sites and discontinue the campaign.”

Bateman would have definitely had a Neo Geo.

Back in 1986 this advert caused a bit of furore. Now, it is just a poorly drawn bit of tat.
