Baltron (バルトロン)[2] is a horizontally scrolling shooter for the Family Computer that was released exclusively for the Japanese market on March 19, 1986.

Plot

[edit]

Taking a cue from the popular Star Wars series opening crawl (with its catch phase A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...), the title screen contains the nearly identical catch phrase of A long long time ago. In the year 2999, people from the planet Star Lenion (which is very similar to planet Earth) are under attack from the Bismark Empire.[3][4]
