A three-page magazine ad for Namco Museum Vol. 1, a collection of 1980s arcade games released in 1996 (1995 in Japan) for the Sony PlayStation. The ad pokes fun at the then-contemporary 1990s gaming culture, including the typography of video game ads.

The bulk of the text is in Resbaloso, with several other fonts mixed in: Crackhouse (“WEIRD TYPE”), Escalido Streak (“screaming guys”), Burnout (“ViRtUaL ReALitY”), Trajan (“CLICHÉS”), Nuptial Script (“self-righteous”), Matrix Tall (“MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR”), Motion Bold (“Toilet”), and one unidentified font (“3D”).

The small legal text at the bottom of the last page is in Industria.
