Another bonus video upload, continuing the GTV series—which means, yeah, another set of surreal framing sequences surrounding preview and commentary segments on games both familiar and foreign. You really get a sense of how different GTV was from Famimaga Video here. Even though Famimaga hired ultra-nerd Satoshi Tajiri to weigh in on games, GTV feels more sincerely interested in the medium and its history. There's a bonus retrospective segment on Donkey Kong and an overview of the top Disk Writer games; neither topic was especially timely in 1988... but Sony devoted a few minutes of VHS time to them regardless, relegating the Dragon Quest III to a coda at the end of the tape.

As always, please use auto-translate subtitles for best effect, and click through to YouTube to see the timestamps of the contents of this episode.
