Game Ads Again: 1-pagers

I grabbed all the rest of the Outlaw Nation comics in the bargain bin to see what other game ads might be found. There were a good number of them. Here are the 1-pagers.

hostileworms

Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising was a 2001 PC strategy game with vehicles. Also a rather sexist ad for Worms: World Party for Dreamcast. For shame Sega. 

Dark Agegameproad

That prize PC package looks very much like my first PC that I got from Dell Computers in 2000. I even got a similar camera with it. Ah and Gamepro Mag. I followed several of the writers as they transitioned to OXM and podcasting later on. Notice all three 2001 consoles and a GBA in the ad. The Xbox even has the launch "Duke" controllers. 

TMBDAC

Lots of Twisted Metal Black and Dark Age of Camelot ads in these comics.

RiskDWVII

This is the first board game ad I've seen and a funny one for Risk. My favorite, though, is the Dragon Warrior VII ad. I just saw that DW I-VII is now available on the Switch e-store as a bundle or individual games. FINALLY!

MGS2SLVampire Nights

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. I don't think I've ever played it. Vampire Night was a 2001 arcade and PS2 game. It uses a light gun and the House of the Dead engine. So, it's a House of the Dead clone then?

silent hill 2maxpayne

Another favorite, Silent Hill 2. I have several versions of the game but still haven't played it. It's high on my list of next plays. Max Payne again but with different art.

2 pagers to come next. I found a bunch of those too.

That Vampire Light game looks interesting.

Yeah, it's got me thinking of those Guncon controllers. I'd like to play one of those games again, House of the Dead or Time Crisis.
