Stargate (Europe) (Beta) for the Sega Genesis is an action-platformer based on the 1994 sci-fi film of the same name. Developed by Probe Entertainment, this run-and-gun game puts you in the boots of Colonel Jack O’Neil as you explore the desert planet of Abydos. Players navigate vast, maze-like levels to rescue hostages, locate supply crates, and battle hostile Ra’s guards using a variety of weapons including a machine gun and alien grenades.
How to Play
The objective is to complete specific mission goals in each level, such as finding all the bomb parts or freeing Abydonian rebels, before making your way to the exit. Default Sega Genesis controls apply: use the D-pad (mapped to your keyboard’s arrow keys) to move and aim, and the A, B, and C buttons (typically mapped to Z, X, C or A, S, D) to jump, shoot, and toss grenades. Press Start (Enter) to pause or check your objectives.
Tips
- Explore carefully: Levels are non-linear and require you to search thoroughly to find all the necessary items or hostages to progress.
- Conserve your special ammo: You’ll find different weapon types like alien blasters and grenades; save these for tougher enemies or large groups, as your standard machine gun has unlimited ammo.
- Fall damage is a threat, so look before you leap down long vertical shafts.
