Advergames on Vinyl
This is pretty cool. Apparently The Thompson Twins released an advergame on record back in 1984. From the article: “A gigantic step up from encoded text files were actual games included in the grooves of records. In 1984, The Thompson Twins released ‘The Thompson Twins Adventure Game’ in both regular vinyl and flexi disc formats. The game is a bizarre text-based adventure in which you guide the Thompson Twins around a land of beaches and caves.”
Great use of technology, but boy am I glad we have the Internet now!
