TRIVIA
Released in September 1989.
Finest Hour is the first game from Namco where the hero is a robot.
Many of the stages' names seem to be named after songs by the rock band Rush - for example, 'Distant Early Warning' and 'Subdivisions'.
Victor Entertainment released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Finest Hour: Namco Game Sound Express Vol.3 - VICL-15004) on 21/09/1990.
