About the game

Dating from 1983, Yamato for Arcade, SG-1000 is preserved in the VG90 archive as a catalogue entry — a factual marker of a release that belonged to the early cartridge-and-arcade boom.

By 1983 the landscape around releases like this was set — the arcade was king and the first home consoles were racing to catch up. Reading Yamato against that backdrop is part of what makes browsing an archive by year worthwhile.

Why it matters

The value of a record like this is context: the early cartridge-and-arcade boom produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and the arcade was king and the first home consoles were racing to catch up. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.

Technical notes

Platform on record: Arcade, SG-1000. Release year: 1983. Details are drawn from public catalogue metadata; corrections and additions are welcome through the archive.
