DiceMadeOfCheese on October 6, 2024 8:50 pm So the Simpsons episode with the fictional video game Bonestorm came out December of 1995: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marge_Be_Not_Proud In that episode the commercial for said game has the tagline “Tell your parents to buy you Bonestorm or go to hell!” I’d seen this ad for Donkey Kong Country but I always thought this ad was a riff on the Simpsons episode, but maybe it was the other way around?
