Lunar[a] is a role-playing video game franchise created by Game Arts and Studio Alex. The series takes place on the titular moon, which orbits an uninhabitable planet known as "The Blue Star".
The series began with Lunar: The Silver Star, first released in 1992 for the Sega CD, and was followed by Lunar: Eternal Blue in 1994. Both titles received critical and commercial acclaim, later becoming the first and second-highest selling games on the platform in Japan respectively.[1][2] Both games were later remade for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation as Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete. Further remakes of the first game were released for the Game Boy Advance and PlayStation Portable.
Spin-offs were also released, including Lunar: Sanposuru Gakuen and Lunar: Dragon Song.
