In which I give the history of the founding of Enix, the (in)famous contest which they used to solicit their first round of games, and the utterly bizarre Seiko's Adventure, which comes close to being the most surreal game I've ever played for the blog.

@jdyer That is bizarre. The backstory is also wild.
When I was young I always walked by an small business office in Salt Lake City, UT USA that had an (original) Gameboy sign in the window, and one day I went in and asked what it was about. The guy told me he shipped some kind of Fish Tank sim game way back when. I am not sure the exact game, but it sounded like it was in a similar vein of weird amateur/hobby dev.
Very random.
