Sega adverts more shocking ones today.

in #adverts5 years ago

Today I am continuing the advertising theme with Sega. There are just too many shocking adverts to show you just with this one company. The gaming industry back in the 80's and early 90's was huge and everyone was trying to stand out. I personally never owned a Sega as I had a Playstation one and the original X box which I still have today somewhere.


How did they get away with this? This is insane as if you are hiding two hedgehogs in your speedo. This would get your attention though and think of Sonic in a different way.

I am sure all the guys can relate to the advert above as it is harder than it looks especially when you are drunk. Have you tried to dot an i or cross a t as it does take skill. I think it shows us what age group they were targeting with this campaign and I would say the 14 -18 year old age group. I can remember the Xbox and Play Station adverts and they were more conservative and reserved.

This is my final one for Sega as there are others but not as shocking and fun. Linford Christie the 100 m athlete from England was known for his lunchbox and even he was used in their ad campaign.

I don't remember any ads quite so extreme during that era here in the U.S. I suspect the rules were a little more strict...
