TRIVIA

Released on March 13, 1992 in Japan.

One of the main inspirations for Koutetsu Teikoku was Caar H. Schitch's 1819 novel Imperio do Aceiro (Empire of Steel). Most fans tend to agree that the major influence on the production of the game was Studio Ghibli's seminal 1986 anime Laputa: Castle in the Sky, which boasts very similar flying machines. The opening level of the game also mimics the suspended railway lines shown in the movie.
