Greetings,

I'm writing an article talking about dB-Soft and one of of his best-known games in Japan. Flappy.
I have some questions maybe one of you could answer or tell me who could help me.
Thank you in advance ;)

- The first version of Flappy appear in Sharp X1, the devolopers were Akira Obata 小幡明 and Osamu Oikawa 及川理
Could anybody give me more information about them? I don't find nothing searching in google. I think they left dB-Soft earlier but.. where they gone? Which other games they did? It's possible to contact with them?
Recently I wrote to Takaki Kobayashi, Woody Poco's developer, and he tell me they didn´t coincide in the company, they left before Takaki begin to work for dB-Soft.

- dB-Soft started selling games under the "7 turkey" seal. Maybe PC6001,Sharp MZ, X1, FM7...
Could anybody tell me the name of some of this games? Where can I find publicity in magazines or the cover art's games?

Best regards,
Juanmi

sorry for replying so late.
from what i know there are 17 games (maybe more) for PC-6001 published under seven turkey:
Spit Fire / スピットファイア
Crash Rally / クラッシュラリー
Alien / エイリアン
Deep Scan / ディープスキャン
Black Box / ブラックボックス
Phobos / フォボス
Building Hopper / ビルディングホッパー
Galactica / ギャラクティカ
Monaco Grand Prix / モナコグランプリ
Bagugon / ばぐごん
Kaidou Racer / 街道レーサー
UFO Game / UFOゲーム
Crazy Newton / クレイジーニュートン
Shougaibutsu Dai Race / 障害物大レース
Number Puzzle / 数字パズル
Bug Panic / バグパニック
King Tiger III / キングタイガーIII
source code of the first 15 ones were published in a book PC-6001 Katsuyou Kenkyuu / PC-6001活用研究 (i don't have this book, i got my scanned copy from a friend). i looked up the book then found almost all these games were programmed by N.Shinada, F.Matsui, some with some others, except Kaidou Racer was programmed by PC Kozou, Shougaibutsu Dai Race and Number Puzzle were Matsui only. highly suspect Bug Panic and King Tiger III were developed by N.Shinada and F.Matsui (maybe with some other programmers).
N.Shinada and F.Matsui are probably Naoto Shinada (品田直人) and Fumiko Matsui (松井文子), both participated in the development of the Famicom version of Woody POCO.

Shinada's Twitter account is no longer in use (@caldera7010)

F.Matsui is rather Fumiya Matsui 松井文也 as Fumiko was the package designer. Fumiya is referenced as the programmer of Woody Poco - https://www.wikiwand.com/ja/うっでいぽこ

Hello guys, thanks for the very useful and interesting informations.

I would be really curious to read the PC-6001 Katsuyou Kenkyuu / PC-6001活用研 book you mentioned in the post, is there any way to obtain a PDF?

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work! :)

It was on the list of the mail-order software on Monthly Micom. so did other titles. the game itself is board game style.
