Space Marine is, like Adeptus Titanicus, a game in the setting of 1st Edition Epic. With this game infantry and armour were introduced to the system.
There's a version from 1991 and another one from 1989 with the addition Epic Battles in the Age of the Heresy, which has a different cover artwork and which enables palyers to re-enact epic scale battles in the time of the Horus Heresy.

Background
Space Marine enables players to re-enact battles in the dark future of the 41st Millenium (respectively the Horus Heresy), but due to the different scale and contrary to Warhammer 40,000 it is possible to field much larger armies and other models.
