And here's Hideo Kojima and Eiji Aonuma, of Metal Gear and Zelda fame, respectively, telling about the impact Portopia had on them. Transcript and source available in alt text.
![Screenshot of an article on DenfaminicoGamer where Eiji Aonuma tells about his first contacts with video games. Transcript:
"――I would like to ask questions about what Mr. Aonuma thinks. What was the most impressive game that you have seen?
Aonuma:
The very first game that I’ve ever tried is the first version of “DQ”. I fell in love with it.
Fujisawa:
Oh, did you??
――Wow！ You should have told us earlier. (laughs) But it means you were a grown-up when you played it for the first time.
Aonuma:
Actually, I never played a game when I was young. When I landed a job in Nintendo, I asked my girlfriend at that time, “What is a TV game?” And she lent me DQ1.
Fujisawa:
Didn’t you know what TV game is? (laughs)
Aonuma:
Of course, I knew Nintendo was making games, but I’d never played it. It’s a digression, but the next game that I borrowed from her was the “The Portopia Serial Murder Case”[*]. It was even a PC version (laughs).
*”The Portopia Serial Murder Case”
An adventure game released as a PC-8801 version by Enix(Now Square Enix)in 1983. Yuji Horii was in charge of programming, scenario, graphics and everything else. The characteristic of this game is that it was based on a real region with a fictional story that was focused on the human drama.
Fujisawa:
I can’t believe she actually lent you the PC version of “The Portopia Serial Murder Case”.(laughs).
――Very unexpected place to [gain the] influence Mr. Horii’s product…..(laughs). I guess Mr. Aonuma’s girlfriend at that time was very advanced."

Portopia was created by Yuji Horii, and the Famicom version was programmed by Chunsoft, a pairing that would give birth to Dragon Quest in 1986. Enix’s philosophy was to credit its creators, and you can see Horii’s and Chunsoft’s names in the cartridge itself and prominently in the title screen.

Pong was not the pioneer of the industry. Computer Space, based on Spacewar! before it, was the first arcade machine 1 year prior, and Ralph Baer had released his Magnavox Odyssey as the first video game console in Sep/72. Bushnell had played Baer's Odyssey prior to releasing Pong (by Al Alcorn).

And here are the spines of all games published by Capcom on the Dreamcast in Japan in chronological order of release (Gundam, the last one to the right, was actually published by Bandai, but is developed by Capcom and originally released by Capcom in the arcades on Naomi hardware).

São 7 deles, na verdade. É um RPG episódico chamado Eldorado Gate lançado em 7 volumes a cada dois meses de outubro de 2000 a outubro de 2001. Todas as capas são do Yoshitaka Amano. Até hoje não recebeu tradução de fãs, mas um novo projeto foi anunciado recentemente.

E a Gamers era especialmente poluída, hahaha! Não tinha um designer no time, quem escrevia geralmente já diagramava a própria matéria, então não tinha muito padrão ao longo da revista. Cada matéria tinha um tamanho de fonte porque a gente não tinha o conceito de cortar texto, hahaha!

Sempre sai um pouquinho de saliva no sopro, que pode oxidar os contatos ao longo do tempo. Aqui uma Pequena Sereia do NES com os contatos corroídos. Foi necessário fazer jumpers para consertar.
