So he's turning 51 then. And I never knew he's a Virgo like myself.

Happy birthday to the guy.
He also programmed for Genesis Ghouls n' Ghosts, among a host of others.

Oh right, the Sonic 2 level select code.
Between the Sonic series, Phantasy Star IV, and NiGHTS, this one guy might have most shaped the game experiences of my life!Last edited by Ecco; 09-17-2016 at 02:17 AM.

All of the games Yuji Naka worked on seem quite enjoyable. I hadn't known that he is credited with having programed the Phantasy Star dungeons. I also hadn't known that Naka created Girls Garden along with Hiroshi Kawaguchi. Looking at Hiro's contributions to Sega we can see a triumvirate of classic Sega greatness: Naka, Kawaguchi, and Suzuki.

I liked Rent A Hero's soundtrack. The subway theme reminded me of the Adam West Batman series.

Yeah, if I recall correctly Phantasy Star was from Sonic Team since the beginning (back when they still didn't have a name), that's why they got PSO later. (Phantasy Star III wasn't developed by them, and it shows) Originally Posted by Prince Talmit
