It's the oldest game I've covered so far! Dating back to 1979, Heiankyo Alien was so old it could have been on Microvision rather than Game Boy! That would have been terrible, though. I'm glad Meldac held out for a better platform.

Game Boy World #029: Heiankyo Alien [Hyperware/Meldac, 1990]

One of the most influential games of all time makes its way to Game Boy - ironically well after two games that heavily borrowed from its classic design showed up on the platform. Heiankyo Alien may not be as well known as Lode Runner or even Boomer's Adventure in Asmik World, but neither of those games would exist without its groundbreaking design.
