Cosmo Seishi Liisa

Released in December 1987 for the PC-8801, *Cosmo Seishi Liisa* was a notable title featured in the Takeru software vending machine service initiated by Brother Industries. Developed by Micro Factory, this sci-fi role-playing game follows the journey of the titular heroine, Liisa, a "Saint" tasked with defending galactic order against a rising army of evil. The game is particularly celebrated for featuring character designs by the renowned illustrator Akemi Takada, whose contributions gave the title a distinct and memorable visual appeal. As an early example of software distribution via digital kiosks, it remains a significant artifact of the late 1980s Japanese home computing era.

When an evil legion suddenly emerges to threaten the peace of the universe, Liisa takes up the mantle to confront this rising menace. Players guide her on an adventure through space, traveling to various sectors to defeat the enemy forces that await. Together with a cast of distinctive characters designed by legendary artist Akemi Takada, Liisa must fight to restore harmony to the galaxy.
