"Misleading" Ads from Video Game History

This is a great collection of classic video game advertising.

However I don't agree with the idea that they're 'misleading'. Most of the ads show a screenshot, so you know at least what the game really looks like like.

Besides when I create commercial art, conveying a story or idea is often more important than strictly representing physical reality.
