So I'm sitting here burning a CD, reading the back of the jewel case for Space Quest IV. This is always entertaining.

Features:

Hand Painted, futuristic graphics
The most realistic animation you've ever seen in an Adventure Game
No typed in commands - point and click to perform game action
Scrolling screens - the first ever in a Sierra Adventure
Another terrific rock 'n roll soundtrack, with even more realistic sound effects.

I don't know why, but it always gives me a chuckle, and it's accomponied by a 256 color painting.

What other stuff do you see on retro stuff that's amusing?

I believe Madden '97 on the Saturn has bullet points about all it's features, including "10 real NFL penalties!"

...just ten?

What about the line on many Capcom boxes from the NES days --

"State of the Art High Resolution Graphics?"

:D

Discover Realism.
Intellivisin playing fields look like real playing fields. They're even in perspective. Intellivision plays have arms and legs like real players. What's more, they're in proportion. The plain fact is: Intellivision is more like playing the real thing


I always get a good chuckle going back and reading the old Intellivision manual. :-)
