Scan of an old game ad

[Xantan the Foul]

I'm not sure what game it was for... but it showed this guy spending his whole life playing this one game,missing school, work, etc. But he dies an old man before it's beaten, then it shows his grandson missing the old mans funeral to beat the game.

Does anybody have a scan of this? I'd be really interested to see it again (and know what game it's for).

Equinox, but I don't have a scan. Check the archives over on the left May have it there.

Thanks alot, knowing the name of the game, it turned out my friend had a scan of the ad. :D

We had it in our advertisement gallery. I couldn't identify it by the description but this is the one he's referring to:

Don't forget the gallery! There are thousands of scanned ads there:

With the attention spans of kids these days, ad campaigns like this wouldn't work too well now. :)

"What? A game I can't beat in one rental?"

I can't imagine ever being impressed by this ad even when I was a kid. I enjoy a long game, but this seems like one of those "learn by dying" games where you have to try the same part over and over. I did enjoy Solstice, though.

Man, I remember this ad from back in the day..

[Cauterize]

cool ad, but IMO it gives out the wrong idea;

"this game will kill you"

[Crush Crawfish]

I used to love that ad, for some inexplicable reason. I rented that game once and it confused the hell out of me. I gotta try it again...

I thought all Sony games for the SNES sucked? O_O
