I was going through some stuff in my basement, and came across this cardboard poster I grabbed from EB when I worked there back in the day. Reminded of the good ol' days. :tear

VF2 Saturn was amazing. Easily my goty back in 1995.

Fight's Back? What's the fight in possession of?

Blame that to the crappy font they used.

Virtua Fighter 2 and Sega Rally Championship validated my launch Saturn purchase. NiGHTS was just icing on the cake.

If only there were more titles like those three on the Saturn.

I love how Sega directly targeted their competition in ad campaigns. Maybe the lack of direct jabs against opponents is why the current console wars lack the zest of the 16 bit glory days.

I liked the one where they were having a pop at the N64 with the Saturn ads, something like why wait 3 years for a plumber.

Haha, yeah, I remember that one. I remember also thinking that directly referring to Mario64 in an ad only credited it further..I just figured Sega at the time were jealous :lol

Didn't EGM have some website called Nuke back then? I didn't even know what the internet was in the mid 90s. didnt even have a computer

Perhaps it is not a possession but a contraction. As in "Sega Fight Is Back." "Sega Fight" being similar word usage to "Kirby Air Ride."

Looks to me like it's an attempt at being clever by combining Fight is Back and Fights Back. I definitely think it's intentional. Boring ad, btw.

Don't think that was an ad for VF2 at all. Judging from that Akira render, it looks like it was from VF3. So it was probably for Fighters Megamix, which I think used the same render art on the cover (and from what I recall it was on EB's top ten the first week or two it came out).

The "Little Too Real" Saturn ads were incredible though...Sega should've stuck with that style of advertising for a full year instead of changing it up three or four different times like they wound up doing.

EGM/ZD has had about 7 thousand game related sites. I'm waiting for them to walk away from 1up.com any day now, with mysterious reasons of course.

I agree, I wish I had those ones recorded...

It would have been appropriate for the DC as well, launching with NFL 2K...

Well, the apostrophe could be a part of the 'T'.
