In late May 1998, I went to the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Atlanta, to show Robotech: Crystal Dreams in Capcom's booth. We were working on a deal with Capcom to distribute the game once we finished it, but unfortunately Gametek died two months later.

These videos were taken by me, using an older Turbo TV video capture board I had at the time and captured from one of the E3 demo cartridges.

The videos were compressed to as small as I could get them. In most cases this didn't cause problems, but some of the videos get a bit grainy. In particular, the spacefold animations look like colored blobs rather than the spinning plasma ball it looks like off the cart.
