Flyer Fever Update
#388575 - 11/14/20 11:13 PM


This set of flyers promotes video games to the players instead of the arcade operators. Some are one or two page flyers while others are small booklets and comics. Some are postcards. I love the hand drawn artwork in the booklets for Ikari Warriors and Dogo Soken (Victory Road).

Arugosu no Senshi (1986) - Tecmo [AKA Rygar; Player's Booklet; Japanese text]
Blazer (1987) - Namco [Player's Flyer; Japanese text]
Dogo Soken (1986) - SNK Corporation [AKA Victory Road; Player's Booklet; Japanese text]
Dragon Buster (1984) - Namco [Player's Flyer; Japanese text]
Grobda (1985) - Namco [Player's Flyer; Japanese text]
Ikari Warriors (1986) - SNK Corporation [Player's Booklet; Japanese text]
Pac & Pal (1983) Namco [Player's Flyer; Japanese text]
Quartet (1986) - Sega Enterprises [Player's Booklet; Japanese text]
Rabio Lepus (1987) - Video System Co. Ltd. [Player's Booklet; Japanese text]
Xevious (Andor Genesis) (1983) Namco [Postcards; Japanese text]
Xevious (Grobda) (1983) Namco [Postcards; Japanese text]
Xevious (Terrazi) (1983) Namco [Postcards; Japanese text]

Enjoy,
Dan

Congrats with being able to get these for yourself and also displaying them.

Athena is HAWT!

> Quartet (1986) - Sega Enterprises [Player's Booklet; Japanese text]
Why do two of them think the mission requires protective gear, while another is dressed like a tradie, and the girl is just wearing a bikini?
This one also has Dump Matsumoto looking as scary as ever.

> Xevious (1983) Namco [Postcards; Japanese text]
These are really cool designs.

Sorry folks looks like I was terminated, because Tumblr. Looks like this is a great excuse to get the real database-driven website up and running.

Namco seem very protective over everything Xevious, even on YouTube it's the only video I'll get a *video* copyright match on if I show the attract mode (as opposed to simply an audio match)

That said, wasn't a fan of the Tumblr approach anyway, mobile fad garbage, so hopefully you can rebuild it with a proper database etc. as the old Flyers site was much more accessible for anybody on desktop; seems like the ideal opportunity to do something better.

I am back up and running. It was due to a technical glitch, not anything that I had posted. Still, this is still a great motivator to stop procrastinating on building a real website for my hobby.

Some of the anatomical screw ups in the characters In these are amusing. Mostly on the shoulders. I wonder why.
