Gall Force - Eternal Story

Gall Force - Eternal Story is a video game based on the anime of the same title, developed in 1986 (the same year as when Eternal Story was released) for the Famicom Disk System. This game is the first commercial release by HAL Laboratory, creator of the popular Kirby series. It was also the only game developed around the Gall Force series. It was never released for play outside of Japan.

Gall Force is a group of science fiction anime OAV series by the studio Artmic, with production by Youmex and AIC. The original character designs were by Kenichi Sonoda. In the original story line, an all-out, prehistoric galactic war rages between the all-female Solnoids and the amorphous Paranoids for too long. In the midst of battle, a plan which was secretly hatched by the leaders of both sides comes into fruition, and an unsuspecting crew of seven Solnoid soldiers aboard the Kulanis-class Cruiser named the Star Leaf is caught up in the middle.

The Famicom Disk System game is a top down shooter and follows a different story than that of the OAVs. It features Rabby flying across Terra, and catapulting into six different regions of space in order to rescue each of her crew members one at a time. With each crew member that you rescue, you gain access to a new configuration for your ship.
