Japan

These photographs were taken by Colin Williamson around fall 1999 using a Sony Cyber-shot digital camera, which he purchased after arriving in Japan in order to deliver photos for his reports to IGN. These photographs include pictures of various arcades and game stores, primarily from Osaka as well as Tokyo.

This gallery also includes pictures from Tokyo Game Show 1999 Autumn (see "Tokyo Game Show 1999 Autumn photographs" for additional photos).

According to Colin Williamson, this promotional event for Space Channel 5 was held on November 28, 1999 at Tokyo's Shibuya Station. Various Japanese celebrities played the first level of the game on a large screen on the front of the QFRONT office building at Shibuya Crossing. Williamson covered this event for IGN.

These photos, taken with a Sony Mavica digital camera, primarily show Sega's pavilion at Tokyo Game Show 1999 Autumn.
