Edit: I seem to have a vague recollection of this too…
Can you give any more details, for example: What was the setting? Was it medieval, fantasy, modern etc? What was the scene? Graveyard, countryside, forest etc? What (who) else was in the image? Knights, ghosts, lords, kings, animals etc? What was the art style? Serious illustration, fun, abstract etc? I’m guessing the advert had a certain sense of humour to it. I know you won’t remember all that stuff or you’d know what the image is (!), but with a few more clues I think we can get this… The only other thing I can think of, is that over time you’ve mistaken the advert with that of something else, and it might not have been in a computer mag after all? Cheers. Last edited by Tolls; 24 September 2010 at 08:31. Reason: Adding more info.. |

Look on the bright side: you have (probably) scratched out one game to check, and I have (probably) preserved this thread from too short a lifespan!

Well yes we wouldn't want this thread disappearing too soon would we
It could well have been a Settlers advert, but I cant find any print adds for it at all. Depressing thing is I took this ad out of a magazine and had it on my wall for several years, I just cant remember what it was for. I'm pretty sure of two things, a) it was during the 90's. b) the game was also on PC. Not much help I know. |

* usual bump:

were there more graveyards showing the same snobistic disdain of lower class? If so, it could point to a game where the main character/s that the player controls could be of such low upbringing, acting in whatever quest for a higher social power, as opposed as a strategy game where the player controls the ruler instead. Is it also without doubt that we are looking for: a) a game, b) a computer game, c) an Amiga game? For instance it could be also a Goosebump tabletop game advertising (I cannot read the lines on the graveyards in the images found on google). As it could be as well advertised on a computer magazine from the nineties. |

I remember this and am sure I have it somewhere. I was hoping to find it and clear this up once and for all, but I have had trouble locating it. So bearing in mind that it has not helped me find it, here is what I think I remember...
Medieval Hillside with one gravestone... maybe a castle in the background??? Scene was dark... may have been a lightning bolt??? Quote:
Photographic. The humour was all in the words... Quote:

I remember this ad because it was the first thing I came across when flicking through the mag, and for a brief moment I thought the peasant might be the Amiga community... This strongly suggests it was post Commodore. It was a full page ad with no large writing apart from the inscription on the gravestone. It was near to the back of the mag in/near the serious section. The mag had views from the editor and other contributors along with their photos on the first few pages. If I find it I will post it up here... even if it proves my memory to be total rubbish. |

Well we're rapidly approaching 11 years since I started this thread so fingers crossed!
My recollection of this is so vague now, all I can tell you with 99.9% certainty is that this was in a British computer magazine & it was an advert not part of an article. Magazines I was getting around this time would have been Amiga Format, PC Format, CD-ROM User and GamesMaster. It was VERY rarely I purchased any other magazines. Not much help Last edited by Mick_AKA; 01 August 2013 at 14:06. |
