	Mafia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, a video game by Gathering of Developers and Illusion, portraying 8 years in the life of a gangster during the 30's.
		The term "mafia" is often extended to refer to any large group of people engaged in organized crime (such as the Russian Mafia, the Polish Mafia, the Mexican Mafia, the Japanese Yakuza, the Chinese Triads, and the allegedly extinct Indian Thuggee).
		Mafia power peaked in the United States in the mid-20th century, until a series of FBI investigations in the 1970s and 1980s somewhat curtailed the Mafia's influence.

	Japan: Arcades (pg 1 of 6)
		Just Another Japanese Yakuza Head-To-Head Typing Video Game.
		This is a blackjack game with a video of a blackjack dealer.
		Because real estate is at a serious premium in Tokyo, most of the arcades I visited were five or six stories tall, each level usually organized by game type.

	The Dot Eaters - Player2Stage4 - Classic Video Game History
		Hanafunda games constitute a popular pastime in Japan, and Yamauchi's cards are adopted by the Yakuza, the Japanese Mafia, as their cards of choice when gambling.
		The game is deceptively simple, with only a four-position joystick needed to guide Pac-Man around the maze, but with each successive screen the ghosts get faster and their time of blue-invulneribility less.
		The game he designs around the character is Donkey Kong, which has Shigeru's Jumpman running to and fro across three different screens of metal girders of a partially completed building, jumping over various obstacles and gaps trying to save his girlfriend Pauline from the clutches of the evil gorilla Kong.

	Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games: Grand Theft Auto III (PS2)
		GTA3 is excellent because of its mission structure, working for the Mafia and the Yakuza.
		I brought this game after playing both GTA 1 and 2 and I found it so much easier to play then the previous Grand Theft Autos.
		Now however, i see what it really is, a flawed disaster of a game.

	Wreckless takes mob action to streets
		This video game for Microsoft's Xbox is set in the streets of Hong Kong, where you are charged with wiping out the Mafia in a series of missions.
		This is the new mob of Wreckless: The Yakuza Mission.
		There are quick cuts and jittery camera work, like what you see on TV shows like "NYPD Blue." The video goes from black and white to colorized and more, giving the feel of a Hollywood action film.

	0x2a: Stratosphere Girl
		Or a scene where two girls hammer their controllers Tekken-style while playing a single player dialog based adventure-roleplaying video game.
		There are also some details that catched my eye, like the bad ass (western) yakuza boss complete with chopped pinkie, however they managed to amputate the right one, when it should have been the left one.
		Tonight I watched “Stratosphere Girl”, a german movie about a teenage girl running away from home, stranding in Tokyo where she solves a criminal case while working as a hostess.

	TIME Asia Magazine: Royale Terror -- Jul. 07, 2003
		Indeed, Battle Royale unfolded like a video game with a perverse premise: a rising tide of teenage rebellion prompts the government to pass a law stipulating that every year an unlucky junior-high-school class be sent to a remote island.
		The first Battle Royale was the work of Kinji Fukasaku, a legendary director of yakuza films known for his deftness at blending violence and black humor.
		Battle Royale II is a decent war flick, though it's nowhere near as entertaining or unsettling as the original.

		The AV Famicom The AV Family Computer was a redesign of the original Family Computer video game console released by Nintendo in Japan in the early 1990s.

		Masayuki Uemura, the man responsible for designing the Famicom several years earlier, was put in charge of the design of the console, called the Super Famicom, which was released in Japan on November 21, 1990 for Â¥25,000.
