Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Designed by Will Wright, Raid on Bungeling Bay was his first video game and directly inspired the creation of the groundbreaking simulation game SimCity. The NES version, developed by Hudson Soft, was released in Japan in 1985 and later in North America in 1987. Notably, the game sold approximately one million copies in Japan, a significant achievement that provided Wright with the financial freedom to develop his future projects.
