What's the name of that game?
« on: February 06, 2006, 08:40:19 AM »
Help me out here.  This isn't going to be easy...

I recall a wacky Japanese game...it was probably for the Sega CD or Sega Saturn.  I mostly remember it because of an ad I saw in an old GamePro magazine, so it would've been well over ten years ago, so I'm leaning more towards the Sega CD.  Definitely not for a Nintendo system, anyway.  Well, since it was in GamePro, in a full-page ad, I'm guessing it was American-released (or going to be) but it definitely had Japanese weirdness in it.

The ad is pretty much, get this...

Just a photo of a guy's face in profile spewing milk out of his nose in supposed laughter.

There wasn't much of the game itself, but I think he was looking upwards slightly where they showed the box and that was about it.  Nasal milk.  And...that's it.

The background was black, and the box art of the game was colourful, and was probably crammed with Japanese-looking characters and things.

I don't know the name of the game, I don't know the genre of the game, I'm not 100% sure of the console it came out for, but I can't get the image of a guy snorting out his milk out of my head so I must find out what it is.

Anyone have any leads?

Holy smokes, you're fast. Yeah, that's the one.

Wow.  That's messed up now that I know more about what the game is about.  At least I know I didn't imagine that mess to begin with.

I <3 the Internet.

What's even more impressive than Pale actually knowing what you were talking about is that you were able to remember the ad in such detail ten years after it was released.

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

It's another example of "effective" advertising in which you can remember the advertisement...but not the product it's selling.

I guess not too many people think to advertise with nasal milk so it's easy to pick out.  Strange thing is, I thought it was a mirror image...as in, I thought the guy was facing the left, not the right.  Even so, I guess that's pretty close, eh?

But I don't know why I suddnely remembered it so vividly today.  At least it was bad enough for someone else to immortalize its kookiness on the Internet.  Well, as immortal as anything can be on the Internet, anyway...
