something someone should probably do is properly ID all the people in these. I know some of them (Hisao Oguchi, Rikiya Nakagawa, Hisashi Suzuki, Tetsuya Mizuguchi, some of the guys from Universal/MCA/DreamWorks) but am not so sure on several others... and then there's this on 4Gamer too

"Hisashi Suzuki (AM2 business director), Yu Suzuki (AM2 development head), Hisao Oguchi (AM3 development head), Steven Spielberg, Mark Cerny. Bottom: Mie Kumagaya (AM3 developer) and Max Spielberg (Steven Spielberg's son)."

really wish we had it without the fat watermark

Winter CES 1995

another thing - though I can't find any other coverage of his presence right now, Spielberg seems to have been around at Winter CES 1995, and is somewhat-infamously quoted as allegedly saying this about Bug! while there:

"This is the character! This is the character that is going to do it for Saturn!"[1]

no idea if he was already cosy with Sega by this point and was just playing nice or if he genuinely thought that, bless him... if true this should make it onto the page, but not sure on how it fits into the timeline with GameWorks either
