Found at:: www.virtual-boy.org/articles.htm. It is a magazine cover. As such it is material widely circulated in the press and on the web.

It is also a historically significant photo of a famous video game guru.

The photo is only being used for informational purposes.

Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article. Dr.K. 03:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
