Hello to all!
This is my first post here: after having seen this excellent article and having spent my childhood in seoul, I could not pass the temptation to do so.
First of all, I wanted to extend my full congratulations to the authors of this article, it is very well done beyond measure.
Second, I'm also a game collector, and this has motivated me to start a korean retrogaming search. As such, I was wondering if some people like derboo might lend me a hand with a few elusive titles (despite the links to the koread websites, there are still some that are sadly not present. However, I'm on the verge of getting a few come to me via a source).
I thank you for your advice.
Best regards to all!
mikael.

A bit of a note on Mirinae's Tokki-wa Geobuk, it seems like a clone of Penguin-Kun Wars.

Not sure what Sizlla Okamura is saying about The Last Day here:

Sounds like he and NMK just slightly retouched the game, and it was developed mostly at Dooyong (including the sound, as far as he knows).

I asked Okamura for more info, here's his reply:
"NMK and DOOYONG, both managers got to know each other through the meeting of video game industry associations of Japan and South Korea."
"It is the late 1980s. Then NMK and DOOYONG began to business. I don't know about these games it was made after I have left the company." (I asked about Yam! Yam!? and Gun Dealer)

Here are some more game related photos from the '80s and '90s. Those unfortunately cannot be put with the article, cause they're actively sold online, and not to a price a site like HG101 could afford: image.newsbank.co.kr/search/view.aspx?type=total&all=3DD+%ud50c%ub77c%uc790&idm=1600870image.newsbank.co.kr/search/view.aspx?type=total&all=3DD+%ud50c%ub77c%uc790&idm=1600936-3DO Plaza - looks like LG did really mean it with the 3DO. image.newsbank.co.kr/search/view.aspx?type=total&all=3DD+%ud50c%ub77c%uc790&idm=1619979-Some game competition between univeristy computer clubs in 1996, currently played is Capitalism. image.newsbank.co.kr/search/view.aspx?type=total&all=3DD+%ud50c%ub77c%uc790&idm=1576343image.newsbank.co.kr/search/view.aspx?type=total&all=3DD+%ud50c%ub77c%uc790&idm=1601344-VR game at Yongsan, 1995. image.newsbank.co.kr/search/view.aspx?type=total&all=3DD+%ud50c%ub77c%uc790&idm=1601026-Taff-President Jeong Jaeyeong with his company's first release, K-1 Tank. image.newsbank.co.kr/search/view.aspx?type=total&all=3DD+%ud50c%ub77c%uc790&idm=1574010-Softaction President Nam Sanggyu in 1994. image.newsbank.co.kr/search/view.aspx?type=total&all=3DD+%ud50c%ub77c%uc790&idm=1584102-Arcade in 1993. image.newsbank.co.kr/search/view.aspx?type=total&all=3DD+%ud50c%ub77c%uc790&idm=1601212-Some dude at a computer in 1990.

I wish there was a "My Lovely Sam-Soon" game.

I think Korean characters are trying to tell me that all those links are broken or something, it displays an error page of some kind.

Weird, they worked in my bookmarks but Firefox must have messed something up when copying them over. They should be fixed now.

Some recordings from one of the call-in video game shows on Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=--BzheM63Po-This has several versions of another "Hugo" clone with an Eastern style goblin that I haven't documented yet anywhere on the article (because I didn't know of its existence so far) www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzvWuEeRWBE-Wanna see someone play a rapid shmup by phone (the first play is a studio guest, the second a caller) www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFrP7ESP5Q0-This seems to have been a later episode, they're playing Daytona USA and I think Sim City 2000!
