My favorite old school game ad is one for Quake 3 Arena:

Ah, fun for the whole family. Very wholesome, that Quake game is.

Is that a toilet chair?

"The tryhard poopsock"

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 9 months ago

It's one of those things, yes.

And people make fun of that one ad where John Romero was going to make us all his bitch.

To be fair, Daikatana sucked so the ad is mostly funny in retrospect because it didn't make everyone his bitch. If it had, I'm not sure we'd be making fun of it.
