NCS imports and distributes a range of Japanese media and consumer goods outside of video game software. Some products are only suitable for the local market here in New York City with it's large Asian population and others are targeted specifically to vendors who peddle particular products. Weekends should allow NCS to introduce some of these types of products on our website to test the waters for these niche items. This week, we start off with a Photo CD featuring the Guardian of the Universe, Gamera. Photo CDs are fairly common beasts in Japan and Asia and they work with PCs, Macs, Saturns outfitted with a Video-CD card, CD-I machines, and the 3DO. Essentially a collection of images and photos, Photo CDs never made it into the popular culture of the USA but they flourish in Asia and Japan. This particular Photo-CD includes 172 photos of the big Gamera monster and all of the characters and beasts that make up the mythos. Sketches of Gamera and various monsters are interesting to scope as well. A selection of images from the Photo CD are posted below for your viewing pleasure. Note that NCS has taken the original *.PCD files and converted them into JPEGs for compression purposes. Original image quality on the PCD is superior to what you see here.
