Since the original Earth Defense Force game—Simple 2000 Series Vol. 31: The Chikyuu Boueigun—debuted in 2003 on the PlayStation 2 as a part of the SIMPLE 2000 series, we have been blasting bugs in the games. With a brand-new website and short film that looks back at the series' history, D3 Publisher is now celebrating the 20th anniversary of the series!
