Views on portraying humans[edit]

What is the source on the statement that Nishikado did not believe in portraying humans being killed in a video game? I ask this because Nishikado is the creator of the Taito game Western Gun, later redesigned and brought to the U.S. by Midway as Gunfight, as confirmed in the company bio linked to on this page. This came is a duel between two human cowboys and seems to be at odds with a philosophy of not depicting human death. Indrian 17:26, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I have also seen an interview with Nishikado in which he stated that he chose aliens because of Star Wars and not due to rendering difficulties. The same interview says he experimented with using soldiers as targets and decided they did not fit the "image" of the game. I believe the statement in the article regarding personal beliefs is complete bunk and I am removing it. Indrian 16:15, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
