Baltron (バルトロン)[2] is a horizontally scrolling shooter for the Family Computer that was released exclusively for the Japan ese market on March 19, 1986.
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]
The game is side-scrolling shooter where players must defeat enemy aircraft and depart from their launch pad.
