Knan Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hello guys! Just wanted to say that I loved to see the original adverts. I remember the UFO and TFTD ones from the old days, but hadn't seen the Apocalypse adverts before. They were brilliant as well... ah, good old days of the golden age of Microprose. Attitude and brilliance. Shawnbor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Thanks Knan! Yeah, they sure are great. I'm actually thinking of turning them back into posters for some ambiance in my "workroom". - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uriaheep Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 On that subject, what the hell is the creature on the EU poster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 On that subject, what the hell is the creature on the EU poster?Nothing. It looks a bit like a Tentaculat from Terror from the Deep... But they didn't make an appearance in EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uriaheep Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 It makes you wonder if they had some other aliens for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I seem to recall some bit of info from about 5-6 years ago stating that this advert was released well in advance of the game, which makes sense really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uriaheep Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 But even so, the screenshots are of the game we know and love, yet that alien is sort of "Lovecraftian", not in the same mould as the others - like Spacevoyager says. like a tentaclat.

The Veteran Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 what happened to the other great TFTD advert? Same kind of picture IIRC but had the wording 'Longer. Harder. Wetter. And nothing at all to do with porn.' And before anyone asks yes it is a real advert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrael Strife Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I heard there was a Shark-man in TFTD but was not in the final version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 The other ad is around somewhere as is the picture of the Shark Man. Ah, the Shark Dude Thing is here: https://xcom.strategyplanet.gamespy.com/x2x7.shtml I really need to see about getting some of that stuff mirrored over on our site as that site might not be around forever - last news post is 2 years old and Gamespy have a policy of taking outdated stuff offline.
