1991: Nintendo releases Game Boy Wars for GB in Japan. How long until we get full-blown RTSs on mobile consoles? With GPS locations being a factor? And if you die in the game, you die in real life?

1997: Konami begins offering stock options to senior employees. I'm surprised it took them so long, and am suddenly curious as the the availability of options at other major gaming companies. Any industry folk out there want to shed some light on the topic?
