Irene Stevenson
Devil Star Saga
2/2/1972
Irene Stevenson, best known as a prominent illustrator and occasional author of childrens’ books, today released a text-based science fiction game titled Devil Star Saga.
Devil Star Saga is based upon a bestselling novel of the same title. Stevenson has worked closely with Doug Cameron, the author of Devil Star Saga, to keep the interactive text game within the boundaries set by the novel as much as possible. Stevenson’s game adds multiple sub-plots, branching paths, alternate endings, and numerous bad-ends.
Despite the cute, colorful art style Stevenson is best known for, the scene illustrations depicted in Devil Star Saga are fittingly dark and gruesome. Parents are concerned with this bizarre departure from Stevenson’s generally child-friendly portfolio.

On the topic of this day, a new company has moved out from Japan to america, called Bamboo Cane Inc. The leader of the company, the barely 17 year old Xhanada Yingzin, had this to say.

Helloooo America, this is Jack Tucker! A new game has been released for the arcade systems by Bamboo Cane Inc! The game is called Pumpman, a game about a plumber who has to save his girlfriend from an angry lion. The game has done decently well on America, but is clearly a copy of Jumpman. According to Yingzin, the game is only to kick up the sales of Bamboo Cane Inc, so they can hire more employees and make their own games. We will see if Ninvento will intervene.
