Feature

• Interview with Koji Takeda - Full page interview of the TV Producer, who worked on the unreleased game "TV Pot", the game was actually scheduled to be released on the 20th October 1995 (1 Month after the published date). Koji was the producer on the cult tv program the game was based on (The show broadcasted past midnight for an hour Monday to Friday). He was approached by Asobi Plans (日本アソビプランズ) who at the time produced games and CG, and asked if he wanted to work on a game together. They wanted to make a game based on his TV Show, of which he thought it would be interesting. He stated how hard it is to make a game, as it takes a long time and you cant make any mistakes. He said he hopes the game will gap between TV and games, as it allows people to easily experience the atmosphere of the TV industry. (Page 12)
