Content

It looks like the most recent bonus upload (Gametech Video Vol. 1) wasn't watched by a lot of people, which is a shame! Gametech Video is not your typical game magazine material. It features game previews from 1988, sure, but the entire thing is framed by a one-sided conversation/broadcast of a robotic woman named Sophie and some sort of alien bonobo thing that lives in a cave. It's really weird! And interesting! And, in a happy coincidence, this latest volume features a segment on Nobunaga's Ambition, my current NES Works project. I love when I manage to index a bonus video upload that feeds directly into my regular videos.

GTV: Game Tech Video Vol. 2 [March 88]

The second volume of Sony's VHS game magazine from the Famicom era, starring the Max Headroom-like Sophie and some sort of cave bonobo. I don't really get it, but it does offer an interesting glimpse into game and fan culture of the era! 0:32 Intro Simulation feature 1:20 - Dokuganryu Masamune 5:00 - Napoleon Senki 7:00 - Nobunaga's Ambition Zenkokuban 9:00 - Takeda Shingen 9:54 - Desert Commander 10:57 - Matsumoto Toru no Kabushiki Hisshougaku 11:39 - SD Gundam Scramble Wars 12:55 - Namco Game Tournament New Software Corner 20:35 - Fighting Golf (no Lee Trevino for this one) 21:06 - Tsurikichi Sanpei: Blue Marlin Hen 21:53 - Exciting Soccer 22:26 - Captain Tsubasa 23:07 - The Battle of Olympus 23:43 - Ninja Taro Ending Screen Corner 24:29 - Paris-Dakar Rally Special 24:59 - The Guardian Legend 26:14 - Konami Wai Wai World 27:11 - China Warrior Quick Previews 28:03 - Elysion 28:13 - Fleet Commander 28:23 - Golgo 13 28:35 - Victory Life 28:46 - R-Type 28:54 - Outro
