Any [old people] remember those Gamepro ads with all the consoles?

By S E L F - 08-16-2012, 08:34 AM - Boxden > BX GameSpot

Can't remember specifics, but I think it was a "contest". Used to have everything on there. TV, surround sound, 3DO, Sega Saturn, Virtual Boy, SNES, Genesis, PS1, N64... everything.

I think they baited people into answering easy trivia questions and sending $20 in. Then they send you another set of questions, asking for more money.

Anyone have a name of this company? Or scan. Has to be the greatest legal scam I've ever seen.

Here's a photo of one of those ads from a 1995 Game Players magazine. It's similar to what you were talking about and from a company called Pandemonium

Yeah, I remember them--I even filled one out thinking I was gonna win, though I didn't send it in [pic]

And what constitutes 'old?' Oh wait, I forgot, this is Boxden, where anyone over 18 is considered 'old.' [pic]

...No, it 'took me an hour' because, unlike you, I have better things to do than lurk on Message Boards waiting to reply to a bunch of font. You fulfilled yet? [pic]

As for the video, I posted it because the whole thing to me, especially you and your hurt E-feelings, is a joke. You took a simple comment and tried to turn it into some corny 'E-beef,' all for some Internet 'Brownie Points.' Now the question is, are you going to be the !!-made hypocrite you've shown yourself to be and reply, or leave the sh!t alone?

And before you go:

Just because I can [pic]
