Hey,

I'm David Hobbs an undergraduate at the University of York, at the
moment I'm trying to write a dissertation for my final year on
Nintendo and the videogame industry.
So if anyone has a spare few minuets to fill out an online
questionnaire it would help me out a lot.

Just follow the link

All results will be used for academic research and NOT used for any
other purpose

Thank you very much

I'll help you out, but you should know it's been done. There's a book
called "Game Over" by David Sheff. Good reading on Nintendo history.

David,

I guess the last question about the hours spent is per week gaming,
right?

I read one Game Over on Nintendo a while ago (must be the same one "How
Nintendo zapped an American...") A very good read but it was written in
1992/93 IIRC when PS1 was on the horizon. It might be worthwhile to
spend more time on what happened to Nintendo in the next 12-13 years,
especially the aversion to online gaming when it tried on those lines
10 years back.

How could you not have the Turbo Graphix on that list? It was the
most innovative console of it's time.
