Line of Fire is a vertically scrolling overhead shooter released by Sega for the Master System in 1991. While the arcade original was a first-person light gun game, this 8-bit console adaptation reimagines the gameplay as a top-down shoot ’em up. Players take control of various military vehiclesโincluding a jeep, a boat, and a helicopterโbattling through enemy territory to escape a hostile base with a stolen prototype weapon.
How to play
Navigate your vehicle through the scrolling stages while shooting enemy forces and avoiding incoming fire. As a Master System game, the controls are mapped to the standard joypad: use the Arrow Keys to move your vehicle and the Z and X keys to fire your primary weapons and specials. Press Enter to start.
Tips
- Keep your vehicle moving constantly to avoid incoming projectiles, as the screen can quickly fill with enemy fire.
- If you have 3D glasses at home, this port famously supports the SegaScope 3-D Glasses. You can trigger the hidden 3D mode by holding both action buttons when the game boots!
