This game entry is not "published" yet and will not appear in game browers by default! (Edit and set publish = 1)
A strategy space sim based on a manga, anime and novel series of the same name. It was developed by Tokuma Shoten and published by Kemco in Japan only.
Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu (usually translated as "Legend of the Galactic Heroes") is a sci-fi themed strategy game in which the player controls a fleet of starships. It is based on the long-running space opera novel series of the same name which has been adapted into various other media such as manga and anime. This early NES version is simply one of many video game incarnations of this franchise, all of which shame the same name.
The goal of the game is to direct the various commanders of the player character's fleet by giving them specific orders. Eventually, the player will be required to direct massive battles between their fleet and the rival empire's.
A NES midi variant of the classical music piece Bolero by Ravel plays throughout, lending the game a suitably operatic feel.
