Double Target – Cynthia no Nemuri is a classic side-scrolling run-and-gun shooter released by Sega in 1987 for the Sega Master System. Known internationally as Quartet, this Japanese release is actually more accurately named than its Western counterpartโunlike the four-player arcade original, this home console version only allows two players to play simultaneously. Navigate space colony levels as either Mary or Edgar, battling through waves of enemies to secure keys and unlock the doors to the next stage.
How to Play
Your objective is to defeat the boss in each level to obtain a key, which you must then use to open the exit door before time runs out. Since this is a Master System game, the controls are mapped to your keyboard: use the Arrow Keys to move and aim, Z or X to jump and shoot, and Enter to start.
Tips
- Keep moving: You have a strict time limit to finish each stage, so don’t linger too long in one spot trying to defeat every single enemy.
- Use the jetpack wisely: Mastering your character’s jetpack allows you to hover and reach higher platforms, which is essential for dodging ground-based hazards and navigating the tricky level layouts.
