Yep, those were different times.

Battlecruiser 3000AD. This advert was later revised and they drew black knickers on the model.

Psycho Pigs UXB. Another British classic?

Well-placed censorship of pictures was the best purpose of a Battlefield 3000AD box. That was one of those games where the drama around it was far better than the game itself.

Isn't this the game that had to run full page adverts claiming a new, updated version was available and "the bugs have been squashed!" Obviously this was pre-internet, so updates like this were quite uncommon.

Might have been. That game was so bugged that the installer crashed for a lot of people. Once it got patched enough that you could actually play it--which took years--it was supposedly pretty good, but nobody cared by then.

Now i want to see the reviews for Psycho Pigs UXB because it cant have been very memorable.
