Lunar: Eternal Blue (ルナ エターナルブルー) is the sequel to Game Arts's 1992 RPG Lunar: The Silver Star, first released on the Sega Mega-CD in 1994. As with the first game, Working Designs was responsible for translating this one, and (like its prequel) it was later remade as Lunar 2 Eternal Blue on various platforms including the Sega Saturn.
