Boxy Boy

Souko Ban Deluxe (倉庫番DELUXE, Sōkoban Derakkusu), known as Boxy Boy in the United States is a puzzle arcade game released by Namco in 1990; it runs on Namco System 1 hardware, and is based on the Sokoban game series, by Thinking Rabbit. It is a graphically enhanced implementation of the then-8-year-old Japanese puzzle game phenomenon, and is the only implementation of Sokoban to be released in the arcades - and while it features all the rules of regular Sokoban it also has a timer which determines how long the player character, "Rabi-kun" will have to clear the current round, before the game ends - and even if the player decides that he or she has to start the round over, the timer will not be reset. If the player runs out of time, he or she can insert another coin to continue from the current round, with a full timer; there are fifty-five in all, and the player can start from the first, twelfth, twenty-third, thirty-fourth and forty-fifth ones. The five rounds whose numbers are multiples of eleven are also indicated with a question mark - and, after the player clears one of the five rounds whose numbers are multiples of ten, he or she shall actually get to see the following (question-marked) round. If the player clears a round in enough steps (a step is counted every time the player pushes the joystick, or presses the Reverse Button to undo one of his or her previous moves), he or she will also receive a "Best Steps" or "Good Steps" bonus - and some of the music in this game was later reused in Namco's unreleased prototype game Puzzle Club (although it was never actually released in the arcades).

Growth–share matrix

The growth–share matrix (aka the product portfolio, BCG-matrix, Boston matrix, Boston Consulting Group analysis, portfolio diagram) is a chart that was created by Bruce D. Henderson for the Boston Consulting Group in 1970 to help corporations to analyze their business units, that is, their product lines. This helps the company allocate resources and is used as an analytical tool in brand marketing, product management, strategic management, and portfolio analysis. Analysis of market performance by firms using its principles has recently called its usefulness into question.

Overview

To use the chart, analysts plot a scatter graph to rank the business units (or products) on the basis of their relative market shares and growth rates.

Star (Erasure song)

"Star" is a song by Erasure, released in 1990 as the fourth European (and third American) single from the group's fourth studio album Wild!.

A straightforward dance music track with disco elements, "Star" was written by Erasure members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, its lyrical content clearly referencing nuclear war; Erasure's own form of protest song. When released as a single, the track was remixed slightly for radio, bringing acoustic guitar elements and various background vocal parts forward in the mix.

The last single released from Wild!, "Star" became Erasure's twelfth consecutive Top 20 hit on the UK singles chart, peaking at number eleven, and in Germany it peaked at number twenty-three. In the United States, "Star" did not enter the Billboard Hot 100, although it became a popular club hit, climbing to number four on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
