Zillion is a classic sci-fi action-adventure game released for the Sega Master System in 1987. Heavily inspired by the Metroid series, you play as JJ, a member of the White Knights, infiltrating an underground labyrinth on Planet X to retrieve five top-secret floppy disks. To succeed, you must explore complex, interconnected rooms, shoot through enemy forces, and hack computer terminals using codes found along the way.
How to Play
Your objective is to navigate the enemy base, disable defenses, and locate all five disks before escaping. You’ll need to memorize or note down computer codes found in canisters to unlock doors, disable traps, and save your progress. Use the Arrow Keys to move and duck, and Z and X to jump and fire your Zillion laser. Press Enter to pause or interact with terminals.
Tips
- Search everything: Canisters often contain vital computer codes or power-ups. Make sure to destroy them and collect their contents.
- Level up your Zillion: Finding the Zillion power-ups increases your gun’s level, allowing you to break specific types of blocks to access new areas.
- Take notes: The terminal symbols are randomly generated each game. Keep a notepad handy to remember the codes needed to disable barriers and open the main elevator.
