In 1993, Naoto Oshima, renowned for his role in crafting Ristar, embarked on a visionary journey with Atari to birth the "Breath of the Sun" series. The inaugural game, released on the Atari Genesis, introduced players to Tatsu, a young boy awakening to his latent dragon powers. As the narrative unfurled, gamers were immersed in an epic quest, navigating Tatsu through a world fraught with peril to confront and thwart an ancient evil menacing the very fabric of existence. The series became a hallmark of gaming lore, blending Oshima's creative prowess with Atari's legacy.
