Advertising… advertising never changes. What’s the best way to sell a product? Have sexy women in skimpy outfits promote it. Well, that’s the idea anyway. Contrary to popular belief, marketing people aren’t always the most creative bunch. But we’re not here to dwell on our consumerist ways. Instead, let’s take a look at the early days of arcade machine marketing.
Arcade machines haven’t been in vogue for a good long time, but once upon a time, sexy arcade machine adverts were all the rage. Why? Because arcade machines were big money, and in the time honored fashion of marketing people, they decided to promote them with boobs… lots and lots of boobs. The adverts are supposed to be sexy, but are they? I’ll let you be the judge of that one.
We’re not off to a great start here, but there’s still hope. Let’s keep going and see what else turns up.
Still not happening…

Okay, I give up!
Wait, hold on a second… this one isn’t bad, right? It’s kind of sexy, in an undersea sort of way.
