Missile Defense 3-D (Sega Master, 1987)

Product Specs

Description

Missile Defense 3-D makes innovative use of the Sega Master System's light gun by situating players on a space station and having them shoot down nuclear missiles being fired by two world powers at war. The game also takes nice advantage of the system's SegaScope 3-D glasses, which bring the errant missiles coming toward you to vivid life. Gameplay is divided into three stages: missiles being launched from the missile base, missiles on the way to their target, and missiles approaching one of the cities. If even a single missile survives all the way through the third stage, the game is over. The view from space is awesome, and the shooting action is fast, furious and accurately controlled. Sega deserves a round of applause for not making this game a simple Missile Command clone.
