Tokyo Game Show

Colin Williamson is an American journalist who has primarily lived in Japan since 1999, covering the Japanese game industry for English-language publications. From 1997–2005, Williamson photographed the events and press visits that he attended, as well as taking general photos of gaming culture in Japan. Williamson kept a collection of his digital photos, organized by event; these photographs were used by various magazines and websites where Williamson contributed, primarily IGN.

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).

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