Overlord NES
Game Information
Imagine, if you will, a universe that holds only a small group of planets. Each planet, a barren shell waiting to be given life. Imagine further, that within this universe there exists the forces of good and evil. Having only a single Starbase to work from, you set out in ships of your own design and use them to colonize the barren planets. Strategies are needed to meet the many challenges you will face as you strive to become a great leader. Farms need to be established to feed your growing populous. Taxes have to be imposed to raise money to build a stunning array of equipment... from a spy satellite to a hydroponic planet. Even while you are establishing that delicate balance called life, a fiendish dictator is gazing at the whole universe with greedy eyes. He schemes to conquer and control. Confrontation is inevitable!

Additional Information
In Overlord, you assume the role of a general in the Galactic Federation in the war against Rorn. Defeating this madman lies in your ability to strategize in a number of ways. You must decide which planets to concentrate on at a given time, maintain healthy economies in your colonies, and buy the appropriate goods for your efforts within a limited budget. Meanwhile, you're also responsible for the welfare of your ships and other crafts.
When you've expanded your territory as far as you possibly can, it's time to go to war with the forces of Rorn. (Be careful, though. He's just as likely to attack you!) Whether you're on the offensive or defending your own territory, your success in this game comes down to these battles. Winning earns you enemy territory or allows you to keep your own. Of course, nothing good comes from a loss, though it is possible to bounce back. Once you have claimed all planets in each of the four systems, Rorn's reign of tyranny will fall. You will be the new Overlord.
