CD-ROM Studies!
Business Overview
An event series featuring interviews with people involved in the 1990s CD-ROM software that runs on computers such as the Macintosh and WindowsXP. The purpose of the event is to provide an opportunity to actually experience the software of the time using actual machines, and to record the interviews with the guests and the scenes as videos and web articles, and to publish them as an archive.
In the first installment, we invited Ushionaga Mitsuo as a guest to play Amusement Planet Phantasmagoria and interview him about the backstory behind the game's creation. In the second event, Ito Gavin was invited to play games such as The Manhole and look back on the events while referring to the magazine LOGiN.
