The Making of Darius

This Darius feature originally appeared in the April 1987 edition of Japan’s famed BEEP! magazine. While I usually stick to “pure” interviews for shmuplations, the content of this one was interesting enough to merit translating the whole thing. The feature focuses on the hardware, and while not containing any particular revelations or secrets, does a nice job of showing how Darius was made and some of the alternate ideas Taito considered for its new “3-screen” hardware.
I’ve also appended a short interview with Hisayoshi “OGR” Ogura, in which he talks about composing the music for Darius.

I don't always comment on these Patreon posts, but I love all the translations, and I share them with my students and friends. Keep up the great work!
