The video is unavailable, but this program covered game development in 1986.
" 新 サラリーマンライフ トップリポート ビデオゲーム開発室 ブームの仕掛人たちニューメディア IN ビジネス 情報武装するオフィス ほか " http://nhk.jp/chronicle/?B10001200998601120130085 One picture shows Fantasy Zone art being drawn on custom Sega Digitizer hardware http://p.twipple.jp/1Wjrc http://p.twipple.jp/43Hna http://p.twipple.jp/mznVY http://p.twipple.jp/vlbFT http://p.twipple.jp/jLDMx Sega's @okunari has posted the photos a few years ago. He says the video isn't publicly available. I guess they are in NHK archives and will surface at some point. |

Notice that the digitizer logo uses the same font as the prototype Master System logo... | |

Damn, that "digitizer" is awesome tech for the time. | |

Is that Opa-Opa on the display of the digitizer? :O | |

I've seen this "Digitizer System" before somewhere, but not sure where. Possibly Beep! scans, but I can't remember right now ... hopefully it will come back to me. |

Interesting :D
Perhaps, the work was very comfortable with this "Digitizer System" in those days, for both graphic designers and programmers. |

It's the 80s. Gotta prevent teenage boys from using too much imagination on a blurry capture projected onto their blurry CRT it!
That's about the only explanation I have got, anyway. It does seem a bit ridiculous when you realize what the shot actually is. |

Maybe it was related to licencing? | |

Well, we got used to much worse/better (depends how you see it) nowadays, but it could be a seen as a little "sexy", or trying to be. In the historical context of games having to fend criticism from parents and showcasing the picture to a wide audience it could have made sense to just blur it.
That or, the game it comes from hadn't been announced, or cancelled,? Which game is that anyway? |

My first guess would be some arcade game. Didn't Sega make a few "gal" games?
I'll check that out... |

If you open that image in Photoshop you can align the blurred stuff in a perfectly rectangular shape. Also, there's no grain in there.
That picture was blurred in 2016. |
