What were the advertising company thinking?

"Fuck it! What have we've got to loose?"

The game itself has it's own problems and was full of bugs. There was even an AD campaign for a later edition claiming it was fixed and playable!

Never played the game but I've never forgotten the casually sexist advertising.

Such nostalgia for this... I was massively into Dragonlance at the time, so stumbling on this game ad in a magazine was like catnip to my young brain. Shame the game was terrible... but that art...

alternative art used for the colecovision & atari:

Hi everyone! I want to present to you my new scene. It's a teenage room in the 80s style. First I only planned to make a computer model but I was too obsessed with searching references on Pinterest that in the end there was a small scene. About the brand of the computer, it was collected from different pictures that I loved.)) I hope you like it.
