Takashi Nishiyama: The first game design I worked on was UniWar S. I doubt you're familiar with it, but it was a ROM-based game that used Namco's Galaxian hardware. The second game was Moon Patrol, and I believe that was distributed by Williams in the U.S. You might remember that one -- the player drives a buggy across the moon's surface while avoiding craters and rocks and being attacked by UFOs.

1UP: Yeah, it's pretty well-known in the U.S. But you're probably best known -- at least based on your time at Capcom -- for the original Street Fighter. How did that come about?


I know it wasn't their intent, but it reads like, "Yeah old man, Moon Patrol, great. Now tell me about Street Fighter." Assuming the interviewer is ten years younger than I am it would make perfect sense. Hell, if the guy made something for the Odyssey I'd be telling him to hurry up and speak about Moon Patrol.

Good interview, and I wish more guys who made old arcade games got the chance to tell us about them.
