Giant Robots Wage Intergalactic War in Two Heavy-Metal Strategy RPGs

  About SUPER ROBOT TAISEN: ORIGINAL GENERATION    


Nearly two centuries ago, humanity advanced into space, ushering in the dawn of a new era: the Space Era. But mankind's technological progress came to a near-halt  after the devastation and turmoil caused by two meteors that struck the Earth  in the early years of the 21st century.    


In 179 S.E., a third meteor, Meteor 3, landed near the Marquesas Islands in the  South Pacific. A research team dispatched by the Earth Federal Government discovered  that the "meteor" contained technology previously unknown to man. An investigative  committee was formed to analyze Meteor 3 and the technology within, which became known as Extra-Over Technology.    


Dr. Bian Zoldark, head of the committee, reported to the EFG that the creators  of Meteor 3 would almost certainly come to Earth to reclaim their technology.  The EFG heeded Dr. Zoldark's warning, and began the development of humanoid   mobile units called Personal Troopers.    


Now, the human race watches the skies and waits for an invasion from beyond...    


  SUPER ROBOT TAISEN: ORIGINAL GENERATION Key Features    


* Detailed combat system, including support techniques and weapon swapping!  

* Dozens of customizable mecha!  

* Rack up kills and improve skills to transform rookie pilots into aces!  

* 40+ hours of strategy RPG goodness!
