MY top ten Master System Games list; a 2 part video show!

Well, of course the games were called Zillion in Japan unlike the UK where Tri Formation was used on the title screen as seen in your video. Also the Master System gun, which was the best at the time, way better than the NES Zapper no matter what AVGN may say. Anyway, the Master System gun is modeled from the same gun used in the Zillion animation. That's why it looks so cool. Sega also released a laser lock on game which in Japan was called Zillion and tied in with the animation which was pretty big at the time.

 

Hmm. From a quick look it would seem to me Tri Formation uses the same rom in Japan, down to 100% English. All I noticed was a Mark III boot logo based on console region detection.

 

I'm pretty sure the game comes up as Zillion on a Mark III and Japanese Master System. I'll try this weekend with my personal copy.

EDIT, nope, you are right. The 2nd game is called Tri Formation in Japan but the first is called Zillion. Here are the box scans from my own personal copies of the 1st and 2nd games for the Japanese Master System.


Akai Koudan Zillion (1st game)


Triformation (2nd game)


If anyone wants to watch the anime you can see some on YouTube as long as it hasn't been removed.
