There is some misinformation here. The "Gauntlet Clone" telnet megami tensei is a different adaptation from a different developper of the Nishitani Novel and is not part at all of the Shin Megami Tensei Franchise. It is not developped by atlus and is a totally different product.
The one by atlus which release on nes in 1987, is the one who gave birth to the megaten Franchise. In 1992, Atlus release SHIN megami tensei and add the shin to the license to separate themselves to the original material of the novel and to go they own road.
