I'm asking the Japanese Game Preservation Society, but maybe one of you guys have seen it.

I interviewed Henk Rogers of BPS and he said the following:
Code:
HR: The developers should be rockstars. You remember the ad that Electronic Arts did in the beginning, the black and white ad?

JS: They see farther, yeah.

HR: Yeah, it was Dan Bunten, and who was behind Pinball Construction Kit, what was his name? All those people. We did a similar ad in Japan. We got all of our programmers together, all of our developers, and we did a black and white advert for Japan.


So basically BPS did a Japanese version of this:

I've searched in Japanese on Google, and I've trawled my small selection of Japanese mags, and never seen it. Perhaps someone here has?

I'd like it so as to illustrate Volume 3 of my books.

32 views and no replies?

Incentives are needed!

I'll wire $5 to the first person to find a scan of this, or email you digital copies of Volume 1 and 2 of my books. 8)

Plus you'll get your name in the thanks section. (Unless I forget, which I sometimes do, accidentally.)

Sorry, dude, I'd love to help if I could, but I don't have any knowledge/possession of Japanese adverts from that time period.

Found it - courtesy of Macaw! :)

Except... Now I can't remember which issue he found it in.

It was an ad for their Micro Go game, plus Lyrane and Archon.

So it's from 1986, maybe early 1987.

Adding my two cents to Starscream's reply I'd say something around February/March '87, based on the small note concerning the STAC Fair held in late March of that year.
