Welcome!
This is a blog dedicated to archiving video game advertisements, particularly with a focus on older magazines. With the public launch of the Video Game History Museum Library Digital Archive, I decided to take my special interest for video game adverts and go through the archived magazines currently available in order to save and share these adverts with Tumblr.
This blog runs on a randomized queue, and currently will not be posting any new ads due to personal circumstances. This number will fluctuate, so feel free to keep checking back to see when more or less ads will be posted.
Requests are welcome! Please include as much detail as you can about the advert you submit. Helpful information includes the name of the magazine, the issue number, and the year + month the advert came out in. If you have partial information, that is okay - Feel free to submit anyways! If you don't have a specific advert in mind, but would like to see a certain video game posted here, you can also send me an ask with that request as well.
All archived magazine adverts will be tagged with #gameadarchive. All posts that are anything other than adverts will be tagged with #not a game ad. All advert posts will be tagged with the name of the game advertised, the console, the magazine the advert came from, the year and date, and other identifying features of the advert. As of writing this post, this blog is still in its infancy, and I am still adding adverts to the queue + figuring out a blog theme and what proper tags to use. Please be patient!
Thank you so much in advance, and please enjoy the blog!
