Just found this picture while browsing the Internet, a 1993 promo from Auchan (french supermarket)
50 Francs per game, which adjusted to inflation is 11 euros, that's cheap !

I love the fact that it's the four same games on the two rows, just sorted differently. Like they tried to make you feel it was a huge promo.

Found the first page from the "La redoute" 1989-1990 catalog (a french brand of mail-order sales).
Bit blurry but posting it for record, I will try to find an original catalog to get better scans (but no way I'm going to pay 25 euros for a free-shipped million copies catalog)

The second page is lost in google, the original picture disappeared from the Internet :( also from the "La redoute" catalog

Oh my god, I think I just found something absolutely incredible !!!!
Watch this SC-3000 advertising from a BHV 1984 toy catalog, everything seems different from the official releases

Some more !
In order:
1-2: Auchan 1989
3: la redoute 1988/1989 catalog
4: Jouets et Cie (a toy mail order sales catalog)
5-6: Leclerc (another french supermarket) 1991 catalog
7: La Source - Quelle (a german mail order sales society that was also selling in France) 1993 catalog
8-9-10: Mammouth (a supermarket brand that disappeared in 2009) 1993 catalog
11-12: Cora (another supermarket brand) 1993 christmas catalog (I think ?)

Note that Asterix II master system cover and that Jurassic park Game Gear cover that appear on both Mammouth and Cora catalogs.

And that's all for the moment :)

White/Silver SF-7000
Post Posted: Fri Jan 01, 2016 8:15 pm
The white/silver SF-7000 appeared in some old Japanese document

And that same (smaller) picture with the Yeno appears here uncropped, I'm not sure where it was taken from probably from another french document:

Found a couple more pages but not sure from what year.

First one is from Auchan
Second one from Virgin in Marseille
Third and fourth ones are from Game's, which was a videogame stores franchise that doesn't exist anymore (think it ended in the 90s)
And fifth one from Coconut, another dead franchise.

Monopoly was a 3D game?
Sadly not the level of hilarious errors we usually see in old Sears ads. (such as old one that thought Sonic 2 was a Game Boy game.)

Thanks for finding those!
Files attached (I used "ImagePicka" with Firefox to easily save them).

A promo from the French supermarket "Mammouth" from 1994 (those supermarkets started disappearing in 1996 after the brand was bought by Auchan)
