Reaganoludography: The 1980s Japanese Digital Games in the Service of the United States
Reaganoludography defines the strategic alignment of 1980s Japanese video games with the neoconservative cultural agenda of the United States.
- During the 1980s, Japanese game developers adapted their content to align with American neoconservative values to successfully export products to the U.S. market following the 1982 industry crash.
- The term 'Reaganoludography' describes how Japanese games were modified or selected to mirror the themes of 1980s American action cinema, such as the hyper-masculine, one-man-army tropes found in films like Rambo.
- Nintendo of America enforced strict censorship policies on imported titles, including a 'No Religion' mandate that prohibited symbols related to religious, nationalistic, or ethnic groups.
