Hi Harry, I saw an ad for the Gameboy camera in Target's Sunday newspaper circular. So it has hit North America and should create more interest in the Gameboy platform. Of course we all know who the #1 3rd party Gameboy publisher is, don't we? The pre-Christmas release of the Color Gameboy should then really kick things into gear. In the next four months we're going to have THQ television ads for Quest, Brunswick Bowling, Bass Masters, and probably WCW. Then Rugrats PSX after that. It should cause sales volumes to jump. Will we see big short covering if Quest sells strongly over the weekend? On the WWF-front, there is a giant licensing show going on at the Javits Center in NY this week. Someone on the AOL board heard from WWF that it planned to announce its new videogame partner at the show. It might make sense. I still think THQ is the most logical choice. IBD has finally moved THQ from the Toymakers list and put it in Computer Software where it belongs. (Thanks, Paul.) We had a report on AOL that reorders of Bravo and K-1 have showed up at Toys'R'Us for the first time in months. (???!!!???) Devil Dice has been nominated for best puzzle/trivia game at E3. A positive visit to THQ's E3 room (click on THQ): a-p-i.net Two comments from the AOL board about Quest and Saga: "Anyhow N64 MAGAZINE rated Q64 8 out of 10 and all the reviews with the exception of EGM's 10 hours have been very favorable. Also VIDEO MAGAZINE FOR NINTENDO said Q64 great 3D graphics and will be a hot seller." "Manager had just returned from Japan( first name Hassen, and said Granstream Saga is going to sell very very well in US--was ecstatic about the game--said it played about 50-60 hours)" That's it for now, Marc
