Description of item
Who would have thought at the time that the ``Family Computer'' (Famicom), released by Nintendo on July 15, 1983, would be looked back upon as a kind of ``culture production device'' 20 years after its release? I wonder if it was? The players were simply looking for something interesting, and the creators were also intent on providing something interesting. This book could be described as ``a record of interesting things that were sought after in a stoic way.'' All 1,252 games for the Famicom are listed with photos of their packages, which alone is worth admiring, but when you turn the pages, you can feel not only the material value, but also the imagination and creativity of people. It's overwhelming power. This is a reminder to former players - people whose lives have become as complex as the processing power of game consoles and the complexity of games - that they had almost forgotten. I'm sure you'll give it to me. Even in the Famicom's sparsely colored pixel art, players did see a world that already had everything they needed.

In any case, the reason Koichi Sugiyama was chosen to be in charge of the music for the Dragon Quest series was because he had sent out a survey postcard that happened to come with Enix's shogi software (according to an interview with Yuji Horii). Isn't this a nice story that teaches us about the miracle that was unique to the early days when people could come together without boundaries? (Shogo Yasukawa)
