M-E-G-O Museum.

And it's just basically like this...

wonderful online museum dedicated to everything that Migo ever put out.

In fact, the games that he came with in North America were the Japanese versions.

It's pretty cool.

I wasn't even around when these things came out and yet they still somehow make me nostalgic, you know?

They hadn't even bothered to make the North American version of these.

Exactly.

All right, so let's jump back a little bit to 1966 and we're gonna explain how they went from eight inches, even though they were still making the eight inchers after 66, how they eventually got down to the three and three quarters inch.

They just put kind of this fix on it that made it compatible with the North American system.

But when you loaded up Gyromite, the intro screen showed the Japanese name for it at the very beginning of it.

G.I.

Joe was licensing their stuff out to other countries.

I feel like I saw other games that had Japanese writing and stuff.

all over the place.

There was a UK company who released it under the name Action Man and eventually they licensed it to Japan to a company called Takara.

Yeah?

I don't know.

Maybe.

It's a memory.
