Harder Sega

I found this classic black and white Sega poster. The tag line is: “The more you play with it, the harder it gets.” The visual image next to the tag line is a hand grasping a joystick knob.

This illustration stirs the imagination as it conjures images of a different kind of knob. It isn’t help by the subtext: “pulling and squeezing your knob.” There also seems to be a white stain on the tip of the knob. Not sure if its drool or sweat, maybe something else.

I am not sure of the integrity of this poster. It seems the artist who made it is thinking about a different kind of knob. And it’s definitely not a joystick.
