Poseidon Wars 3-D is a naval combat shooter released for the Sega Master System in 1989. Piloting a heavily armed battleship from a behind-the-ship perspective, you must repel waves of enemy aircraft, submarines, and rival fleets. Originally designed to showcase the SegaScope 3-D Glasses, the game uses scaling sprites to create a strong sense of depth as enemy fire arcs toward your vessel.
How to play
Your objective is to survive each naval engagement by destroying enemy targets while dodging incoming fire. You must also manage your fuel and ammunition, which are resupplied at the end of successful rounds.
- Arrow Keys: Steer the ship and move the targeting crosshairs
- Z: Fire main weapons
- Enter: Start / Pause
Tips
- Keep an eye on incoming enemy fire; because of the 3D perspective, you have a brief moment to steer your ship out of the way before a projectile lands.
- Prioritize targets that are actively shooting at you over those just passing through the background, as conserving your armor is essential for later stages.
