We did indeed sign a deal with Polaroid to try and bump up a known name for it and gave away their new polaroid instants cameras as prizes. By then though it all got wrapped up and all staff were made redundant, the music division had closed around the year 2000 and they were paying prime rental space in Wellington St in Covent Garden. Tetris and Panzer Front Bis were highlights and sold really well and Victory Boxing 2 was rushed and ideally needed a little more work, EU conversions took a back seat in terms of priority so it was usual to have the general manager and brand manager checking game scripts and making changes since the JVC only had Japanese speaking producers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
