So there is no secret, I used to love video games growing up (as I am sure most of you did as well). So I stumbled upon some awesome vintage video game ads recently and I wanted to share them with you guys! Sadly, I remember almost ALL of these ads from when I used to obsessively collect and read every issue of EGM (electronic gaming monthly), gamefan, gamepro, nintendo power and all the other video game magazines<\/a> from that time period. So when I saw these I was overcome with much Nostalgia and great geeky memories from my childhood<\/a>. Those were the days! I hope I can inspire you with these AMAZING print ads on your next web or Poster Printing project, or just take you down memory lane for a while and get all warm and fuzzy – either way.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
