Computer and console game newsagent magazines were filled to the brim with ads for the latest, greatest and not-so-greatest game and console releases. The marketing departments of the 90s had a certain hyperactive, fish lens, schlock shock and occasionally straight up offensive energy to them that was…of the time.
Our April art show is a retrospective of some of the best, weirdest and extremely local examples of what magazines like Hyper, Megazone, PC Powerplay and more had to offer.
We’ll be launching the show at Midday on the 13th of April with a loop of Australian videogame television commercials you can watch for the afternoon. The print retrospective will be up for a month and is free to check out.
