==Later career== Following the release of Space Invaders, Nishikado was contractually prevented by [[Taito]] from revealing that he was the game’s designer. Despite his game receiving accolades worldwide (from the likes of even Steven Spielberg), Nishikado himself went mostly unnoticed at the time due to the enforced anonymity. [http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/elements/2013/10/the-space-invader.html] Nishikado's later credited games for Taito included the [[racing video game]] ''[[Special Criminal Investigation|Chase HQ II: Special Criminal Investigation]]'' in 1989, the [[scrolling shooter]]s ''[[Darius II (arcade game)|Darius II]]'' (''Sagaia'') in 1989 and ''[[Darius Twin]]'' in 1991, the [[platform game]] ''[[Parasol Stars|Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III]]'' in 1991, the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] [[role-playing video game]] ''[[Lufia & the Fortress of Doom]]'' in 1993, the [[beat 'em up]] ''[[Sonic Blast Man|Sonic Blast Man II]]'' in 1994, and the [[puzzle game]] ''[[Puzzle Bobble 2|Bust-A-Move 2]]'' (''Puzzle Bobble 2'') in 1995.
