Tea-Time of the Soul
I write stuffs, yo.
Comic Book Advertisements from the 80's!

Recently brought into my posession was a small collection of Marvel comic books.
Very old Marvel comic books.
...Well, not that old, relatively speaking.
But older than I am.
That's right - superhero comic books from the early 1980's.

What's better than comic books from the 80's?
ADVERTISEMENTS FROM THE 80'S!!:

Check out the special features of this baby: "Over 100 Ghosts! Dialogue! Password Recovery System!"
...Because a game with dialogue is such a wonderfully innovative new invention!

Of course that's what real lasers look like.
What gets me about this ad is that, at the very bottom, it says "Video tapes, jet, and figure sold seperately."
...If you just buy the video's, you don't have anything to fight back with?

Oh, Turok. How you are missed.

Wow, I've never seen or heard of this game before,
but it looks wonderful. In an awful sort of way.
But a wonderfully-awful way that is nonetheless beautiful.

IT IS AGGRESSIVE.
YOU CANNOT HANDLE THE AGGRESSIVENESS.
IT LOOKS SO HARD CORE.

"JUNIOR!! We musht recover the Holy Grail before if fallsh into the wrong handsh!"

I don't have anything humorous to say about this, really.
It's just really cool.

Ye gods... I've seen every single one of those.

In fresh issues.

Damn, I'm old.

Do you have any of the Chips Ahoy ads where they print out numbered frames of a striped cookie to make into a flip book?
