VIZ ads were great - real & parody. For some reason I remember this one in particular from the back of one of their annuals...

I didn't even realise they were from the same series until you posted that, I didn't notice the holes in their heads on the PSP cover at first. I'm definitely going to get a copy of these games.

They didn't really try too hard with the TG-16 art I reckon. It pretty much all looks atrocious. especially next to some of the Japanese art...
Blazing Lazers:

...until you compare it to the TG-16 one:
I'm sure there are loads more examples

He looks like he knows it too. He's got that 'stupid me, brace yourself!' look on his face.
