The game was playable in America on the Sega Channel cable service and has been reissued for PlayStation 2 as part of the Sega Ages Treasure Box disc. The game was released in Japan and Europe, but it can be rather expensive due to its rarity in either region. Things got better for him, as he eventually did get to actually finish and claim a key role in a few games including Mischief Makers.Alien Soldier (エイリアンソルジャー Eirian Sorujā?) is a side-scrolling run and gun video game developed by Treasure for the Sega Mega Drive. Despite NAMI's best efforts and passion, his creation ended up 'stillborn'.

They approximated that Alien Soldier is only about half complete, with only around a quarter of the 100 bosses planned included.Įven in its half completed state, Alien Soldier was critically acclaimed and extraordinary, yet tragically it's unlikely that we'll ever be able to experience the true version no matter how much we imagine how incredible the final product would've been.

With the Megadrive market rapidly collapsing with the upcoming release of the Sega Saturn, the game was quickly pushed out with the help of Treasure's president Masato Maegawa at the start of 1995. Predictably, NAMI was unable to finish the game by himself in time. Development even dating back to the days of Gunstar Heroes, NAMI was dedicated to the point that he spent many free days working on the game (mostly by himself!), and in his own words, adored Alien Soldier like 'a daughter'. The very story behind the game is confusing and fascinating in itself, the pet project of Treasure employee Hideyuki Suganami, or NAMI, born from his desire to create what the perfect game would be in his own eyes.
