Alien Garden

Alien Garden is a non-game for Atari 8-bit computers published by Epyx in 1982[2] by Bernie De Koven and programmed by virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier.

Alien Garden was designed by Bernie De Koven and programmed by Jaron Lanier and Robert Leyland for the Epyx brand of publisher Automated Simulations.

The score on the play field's boundary was designed to take up more of the screen as the game progressed, increasing the challenge for the player.

[8] De Koven worked for Epyx for a little more than a year and a half prior to joining the Children's Computer Workshop.

[10][11] Leyland left Epyx to program Murder on the Zinderneuf for Free Fall Associates before a brief hiatus from the gaming industry.
