Gunparade March (2000) - allies who live and die on their own, and a game that won a science fiction prize
Episode 67 of "Today Is Release Day": Gunparade March, developed by Alfa System and released by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation on September 28, 2000. Its 22 allies run on Karel 2, a colony-type AI modeled on ant society, so who you grow close to and who dies is never fixed in advance. It sold slowly, vanished from shelves, took an Award for Excellence at the 5th Japan Game Awards, and in August 2001 won the Seiun Award in the media category. Today it turns 26.
