Lagrange Point is an RPG game by Konami, released only in Japan in 1991. The name references Lagrangian points, the five positions in space where a body of negligible mass could be placed which would then maintain its position relative to two existing massive bodies.
Lagrange Point has the distinction of being the only game ever released with Konami's VRC7 sound generator IC, which allowed for a drastic improvement in the quality of the music.
Due to its release late in the 8-bit era and the use of the advanced chip, the game was never localized.
In the 22nd century, mankind has begun to emigrate into space. Constructed at a lagrange point were three huge space colonies: the Isis Cluster (two artificial biospheres, named Land-1 and Land-2, and a satellite.) In the year Isis 0024 (55 years after the cluster was constructed,) however, a biohazard outbreak occurred on Land-2. All attempts at contact were met with naught but static. Now...A research team led by pilot Jean approaches Land-1.
