The E3 of 1995

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the gaming-history dept.

simoniker writes "Having just finished the glut of gaming goodness that is E3, GameSetWatch has dug out the E3 show plans from 1995, the first ever iteration of the massive video game show, revealing, among other things, that 'Sega had the largest booth of the show (larger than any first-party's today)', and that 'John Wayne Bobbitt made an appearance at a Petree booth'. Pretty much business as usual, then!"

    Bah! What good is any talk about E3 without showing Booth Babes?

    I for one would like to see a comparison between those of yore and those of today.

    Who knows what has changed since.

    "Booth 4124 is occupied by Abco Distributors, who bought up a great big chunk of space to advertise their hot new title: Cooking with Dom DeLuise, a 2-disc CD-ROM cooking reference."

    I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. From excitement.

    The internet has everything. You think it would not have a comparison of E3 Booth Babes?

    Also, let's not forget -- let's NOT forget, Dude -- that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city -- that aint legal either.
