The analog record release ships from disk union in Japan, along with distributors CDJapan, Light in the Attic in Seattle, and Black Screen Records in Europe.

Taking place in a colorful prehistoric setting, the action role-playing stars a caveman attempting to build a tower of mammoth tusks to reach the sun. Tail of the Sun launched in April of 1996 for the Sony PlayStation, directed by Kazutoshi Iida. The director described the concept as an "anti-Mario game," in that the story could conclude without a happy ending.
