I occasionally get old wrestling magazines on Ebay for nostalgia... Today I got the 1989 January edition of Pro Wrestling Illustrated. Was flipping through and came across a pretty cool ad for a game we all know and love. What was particularly interesting to me was the placement of the ad- Right next to the Ultimate Warrior in the magazine. The only one that would have made more sense would have been Sting... Anyway thought some of you out there might remember this.

I love the old CotG ads from PWI magazine. That's how I, like many of those on this message board, originally got into the game. The ad I ordered the game from featured Metalhead if I'm not mistaken.
It'd be really cool if someone could find a way to archive all of the different CotG PWI ads that appeared in the magazine over the years.

I totally agree! There is a thread somewhere on COTG forums with several of the old ads and stuff. I can't remember where that was. Maybe someone on the forum might know? I'll look around and see if I can find it again.

I try to save stuff when I stumble across it. I'm sure I have a few scans/photos of old CotG ads on my cpu somewhere. if I do find em, I'll throw em up on the board.

Somewhere around that point was when I first ordered the game.

Yep, I first saw an ad for this dice wrestling game back in 1987 in a PWI magazine back before internet, etc. Sent my $, waited a few weeks in the mail. 30+ years later still playing it......with about 15 years off in the middle there somewhere LOL. With all the computer and gaming Technology.......Madden, WWE 2K, etc, etc. Its great to see a game that lasts the test of time! Most of my dice rolling other sports games in the late 70s and 80s fizzled off.....but this one. Amazing that its lasted so long......with minimal changes.

I owned that magazine when it came out. Same story bought the game and have been buying it ever since.

Awesome CD Junkie! Yeah had it too back in the day. I saw the issue on ebay and ordered it for old time's sake. It is the PWI with Elizabeth on the cover with a story about the Megapowers. It is a head trip looking back at those old wrestling magazines.
