HardcoreGaming101: Heiankyo Alien

Heiankyo Alien‘s development background, according to the Japanese Wikipedia, is nothing short of amazing: A reporter for a popular column in the Asahi Weekly, so the story goes, came to Tokyo University to report on game projects, but had to find out that no games were being developed there. So a call for game ideas was quickly made on campus, and a student came up with the idea for Heiankyo Alien, which was then included in the Asahi Weekly article without a line of code being written at the time.
