I remember seeing a game cover art from Electronic that had a woman who had half her butt exposed on and she was wearing no pants.

Anyone remember the issue of EGM that had a letters column with a bare rumped tennis player in an answer to a letter about advertising? That is the strangest I have seen.

Also, there was that time in Gamefan were someone maliciously attacked Namco(and insulted Japanese people in general) in a sports review. Sad time there. Really was.

Was that an advert for Davis Cup Tennis (by Domark)? I think the slogan was "Take advantage... with Davis Cup Tennis". If so, it's almost certainly the one that was run in various Mega Drive magazines in the UK during 1993-1994. Funny advert!

Even funnier, Mega-Tech (I think... could have been "MEGA", I'd have to check) ran the advert one month and then ran a censored version the following month (they stuck a large "CENSORED by Mega-Tech" sticker over her exposed area).

Yeah, I believe that was it. Funny thing is, that was in the letters column. EGM intentionally ran it like that. Yet when the subliminal message of SEX in the nostril of the T-Rex for the Turok cover for Gamefan there was all hell breaking loose about what was Gamefan trying to do to our youth.
