 ===== Backup Technique + Game Lab =====
-If you were any kind of hacker in Japan during the late eighties or later, you'd have had a hard time staying away from Backup Technique (バックアップ括用テクニック) magazine.  Starting with the Famicom, this A5-sized magazine covered nearly every console and computer system available, and was filled with hard and soft hacking, cracking and duplication.  It was a magazine that simply had no Western equivalent.

 Backup Technique later changed the name to GameLab, a less copyright-offensive title.  As GameLab the focus slowly started to shift, as consoles became less and less hacker friendly, from low-level hacking to GameShark codes, modchip information and flashcart reviews.
