The video game advertising slogan node!
Myself being raised on video games ever seince I've been a wee tyke, and still currently investing a large chunk of any money I come across to purchasing video games, I only find it to be my duty to present to you a multitude of advertising slogans that I have seen splashed across television screens and magazine pages. Without further ado this is all I can manage to dig up
Sega
- "Genesis does what nintendon't" --Early Sega Genesis advertisements circa 1989
- "It's thinking"-- Current Dreamcast Ads
Nintendo
- "Now you're playing with power!" --Unknown, either NES or SNES ad campaignApparently this was only for the NES
- "Now you're playing with power...PORTABLE power!" --Early Gameboy Ads
- "Now you're playing with superpower!" -- The SNES campaign slogan
- "Get into it" --Current Gameboy ads
- "Only for N64" --Current Nintendo 64 ads
Atari
- "Do the math" - Atari proudly touting the superiority of its ill-fated "64-bit" Jaguar console. Actually, I think if you do the math its really only really pseudo-64-bit. Thanks Saige
Sony
- "U R NOT {red} E" -- The E is supposed to appear in the color red. Early Playstion ads circa 1995...96?
Other
- "My friends are knocking down my door to get into my commodore 64" -- 80s ad for the ailing commodore 64
- "To be this good would take Sega ages" - used by Commodore for the CD32, posted outside Sega's UK HQ on a huge billboard, Commodore's marketing highpoint. Thanks mcai7et2. It's a shame what happened to the CD32 by the way
- "It's called Unreal because it is" --TV ad for Epic Mega Games' Unreal
Thats about all I got. Please feel free to add some others if you can find or remember any.
It seems as though I've had some msgs with more slogans, thanks a lot. Is it me, or is video game advertising becoming less slogan based and more visually focused?
