This is a very early PC-98 looking screenshot from Spring 1995 of "大地の子供達 ～マーセルヴァの杖～" (Children of the Land: Marselva's Staff) which would become "HOSHIGAMI～沈みゆく蒼き大地～" (Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth) and finally got released in 1997 (Max Five/Atlus)

You might zoom by it if you don't know what it is but this little section at the end of the "upcoming games" previews in Famitsu is actually like Quartermann rumors section of the mag. Confirmation here that Septentrion AKA SOS for SNES was made by Human's game school students (wow...just wow...)

The story then gets picked up by a bunch of American game magazines in May 1990, after the release of DQ4 in Japan (the first game in the series to be released on a Sunday). The talk this time is just about long lines and some mugging incidents. (Which did in fact happen.)

The earliest reference to Japan's DQ Craze in American gaming magazines (that I could find) comes in the second issue of EGM (July/August 1989), which claims that "over 300 kids were arrested for truency[sic] waiting for the latest chapter to be released at stores instead of being at school!"

"Nintendo won't confirm or deny, but yours truly has it from a very good source at Nintendo that the Japanese mega-hit, Dragon Quest, will be Nintendo's big release this Christmas. This fantastic RPG title has spawned three sequels in Japan, and people are so enthralled by the game that over 300 kids were arrested for truency[sic] waiting for the latest chapter to be released at stores instead of being at school! Don't know how different the U.S. version will be from the Japanese blockbuster, but I have seen a prototype and it looks cool!"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pqzpufyjtbwtrtwzjxslhng2/bafkreiaye4mpkqjkko676pu4iein3mdfj3bxxkn46wmezdnqcousdefewm)

I’ve been getting into old gaming magazines lately and I just love finding little things like this that remind you of how far gaming has come. Remember the Night Trap legal controversy?

![Quartermann is back with more gossip and rumors in Electronic Gaming Monthly from Feb. 1994, during the US court hearings on violence in video games.
“QUARTERMANN'S TOP TEN REASONS WHY CONGRESSMEN DON'T WANT VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES...
The Q-Mann was in the inner chambers of Congress, peeking around a flower pot at the proceedings that Washington claimed would change the face of Industry forever. While the big guns of gaming strapped on their bulletproof vests, and fired first with an answer to the Washington white shirt's Q'8, yours truly found out the real reasons behind the brohaha..
10. Cong. Kohl was upset after not being able to find his copy of Madonna's SEX.
9. Lieberman couldn't find Night Trap for his grandson, so he wants it banned.
8. Both congressmen were jealous that they couldn't package their BS as well as Konami boxed Lethel [sic] Enforcer.
7. The government really wants to force all games to also be made specifically for girls - of course Rama 1/2 would be exempt.
6. Kohl just hates to see game characters sweat.
5. Someone has to run on the anti-violence ticket in '94. Of course real violence shouldn't be the issue.
4. Insect Politics.
3. Complaining about cartoon violence was getting old.
2. Congress felt this was the only way to create a level playing field - something Nintendo's marketing hasn't been able to do.
1. Hey, what better way to get on C-SPAN?”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pkxfcqvqmf2cnnee3pymcn57/bafkreifnzuhi3c7u5rkq43qk2rjigp2d6zdjrmzyjyo43ykhvf3fek4dia)

EGM #22, May '91 - What's the Quartermann thinking is going to happen now? Based on this the only thing I can tell is that 'Phantasy Star IV' bet is a bit off - it didn't come out until 2 years later.

Nos EUA, a referência na época era a revista Electronic Gaming Monthly, a famosa EGM. Eu não tinha acesso a revistas japonesas na época, mas comprava a EGM regularmente. A primeira menção a KOF94 na revista americana veio na edição 62, de setembro de 1994, na seção do Quartermann. (33/45)

I was very amused to learn that the Quartermann rumors column in EGM back in the 90s was equal parts inside gossip, stuff they wanted to be true and hoped to manifest into existence, and wild bullshit.

To be clear, I read this as "DSP" having some totally non-gaming, potentially weird/scandalous slang meaning or something, the way "Quartermann" would write in this era.
If it was just referring to the SVP (actual name) being a DSP chip, which it was, I don't think we'd have gotten this comment.

So, in one of Quartermann's rumors sections, talking about Sega's new Genesis DSP chip, he says this:
"Called the 'DSP' (yeah, I know what it stands for, but it's their name, not mine)"
...any clue what he'd referring to "DSP" standing for in the early '90s?
