Play big.

Notes

Main creative confirmed; exact publication issue still unresolved. A surviving original print listing states the ad was disbound from an October 2003 period magazine, narrowing the hunt to October 2003 issues; another seller identifies it as an authentic 2003 trade-print magazine ad. Exact issue breakthrough: original tear sheet identified as Electronic Gaming Monthly #177; the Video Game History Foundation dates that issue to April 2004. The creative dates from 2003; the confirmed placement is April 2004.
