Let’s write a video game from scratch like it’s 1987 - I thought it would be fun to make with the same principles a full-fledged GUI application: the cult video game Minesweeper. Will it be hundred of megabytes when we finish? How much work is it really? Can a hobbyist make this in a few hours?

In fact, she was (is?) so different that Namco may have been trying to invent a replacement for her almost from the beginning.
