Early ad for the Virtual Boy, which is believed to be from a magazine that was distributed at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show of 1995. On the side of the page opposite to the Virtual Boy ad, there is a date in the lower left corner, showing that the magazine was published on December 23, 1994. In the Virtual Boy ad itself, the phrase "We've come a long way in '94" indicates that the ad was originally intended to be read at a time when the year 1994 had just come to a close, and the sentence that reads "See it all for yourself at Booth #6950." indicates that the ad was intended to be read at a time when a person was walking around and checking out booths at a trade show where the Virtual Boy could be seen. All of this points to the Winter Consumer Electronics Show which ran from January 6, 1995 through January 9, 1995 and which was held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Thus, the magazine from which this Virtual Boy ad came was likely handed to each person who came to the trade show as they walked in the entrance, is my guess.
