In the 1980s in Japan, the economy of Japan was in a boom and some of the more profitable exports that time were Japanese automobiles, Famicom video games, and anime. Products to come out of Japan during this era included Donkey Kong,[1] Super Mario Bros.,[1] Astro Boy, and Toyota vehicles. Until the 1990s brought an end to the Japanese asset price bubble,[2] salarymen were purchasing golf equipment in the hopes of achieving material wealth. Emperor Showa died in the year 1989 after faithfully serving his people for more than 60 years. Nintendo came of age offering video arcade games and their famous Famicom system.[3] American-based Atari struggled to compete to Japan but they couldn't defeat the Sega-Nintendo duopoly in the video arcade realm.[4]
