Trivia
Starting with this very first game, all Tengai Makyou games have an English alternate title
Far East of Eden, which appears on game covers and as a sub-title for the main title. Contrary to a popular opinion, "Far East of Eden" is
not the translation of "Tengai Makyou".
Tengai Makyou can be roughly translated as "Magical Border Outside of the Sky".
