Ginga Denshou: Galaxy Odyssey

Ginga Denshou: Galaxy Odyssey is a 1986 shooter for the Family Computer Disk System and Nintendo Famicom Disk System. Humanity is being devastated by a deadly disease, and the player must guide a space cadet in search of a cure hidden in one of the galaxy's dungeons.

The game begins with vertically scrolling space combat. Defeated enemies drop capsules that either replenish oxygen or increase the player's money. After landing at different locations, the player explores dungeon areas where oxygen steadily drains and shops offer upgrades for weapons, defensive items, and energy.

As part of Imagineer's Wave Jack series, the release included an audio cassette tape and a book that helped explain the game's narrative.
