We're nearing the final stretch of the Famimaga Video series, and as it winds down you can see the publisher experimenting with the format a little. This episode skips the standard preview approach for a hands-on live report from a gaming event, which includes a conversation between Dragon Quest designer Yuji Horii and EarthBound scribe Shigesato Itoi. The end also brings us a very length dive into the Atari Lynx—an import novelty of note—and SuperGrafx. Also among the heavy-hitters this time around, the fourth Dragon Quest and third Final Fantasy, Castlevania III, and a ton of Game Boy material. 1990 was hoppin'!

You'll want to turn on auto-translated subtitles for this, especially the Horii/Ito interview!

Recorded from a Panasonic S-VHS deck and upscaled to 720p via Retrotink 5X.

You may of course freely use portions of this video for your own work as needed! All I ask for my efforts in getting this material online is a small credit in your video or footnotes.
