May bonus #3: Gametech Video Issue 3 VHS Rip
🕑 Added 2024-05-15 00:56:52 +0000 UTCAnother bonus video upload, continuing the GTV series—which means, yeah, another set of surreal framing sequences surrounding preview and commentary segments on games both familiar and foreign. You really get a sense of how different GTV was from Famimaga Video here. Even though Famimaga hired ultra-nerd Satoshi Tajiri to weigh in on games, GTV feels more sincerely interested in the medium and its history. There's a bonus retrospective segment on Donkey Kong and an overview of the top Disk Writer games; neither topic was especially timely in 1988... but Sony devoted a few minutes of VHS time to them regardless, relegating the Dragon Quest III to a coda at the end of the tape.
As always, please use auto-translate subtitles for best effect, and click through to YouTube to see the timestamps of the contents of this episode.
