Winners received a reply postcard to alert them to send a money order for their copy. 1,000 copies were sold directly at Nippon Broadcasting System's music center window on December 20, which lead to a long queue of prospective buyers in front of the building. In addition, ''Famicom Tsūshin'' (''Famitsu'') and ''Family Computer Magazine'' (''Famimaga'') each gave out 20 free copies to their readers in a lottery. The deadline for ''Famitsu'' was December 25 while ''Famimaga'''s was January 15, 1987.
