    Google says the book is from 2001, but that can't be right. It says Ikeda is president of HAL and director of Iwasaki and Yachiyo (the latter of which went bankrupt in 1984).

    Can anybody read this? It's a bio for Tsuyoshi Ikeda, the second president of HAL Laboratory. It's a little too blurry for me to OCR.

    Welp, I sat on this too long, and the site's gone. Internet Archive or search engine caches didn't get a lot of it. Some very important information gone.

    I just realized ATP Tour and 6-Pak for Genesis have the same Sega logo at startup and font. Was SIMS responsible for those MD/GEN compilation carts?

    It is a sad day for millenials in China as it was announced that Subor had gone bankrupt today. Subor is the company that popularised NES and Super NES clones in China during the late 80's and early 90's, including its popular learning machine promoted by Jackie Chan.
