Released in 1987 by Sega for the Master System, Zillion II: The Tri Formation is a sci-fi action-platformer and a direct sequel to the original hit. Players once again take control of J.J., this time navigating the Norsa Empire’s base to rescue his captured White Knight comrades. The gameplay shifts between high-speed side-scrolling shooter segments on the Armor Trike and slower, methodical run-and-gun platforming stages on foot.
How to Play
Your objective is to infiltrate the Norsa base, alternating between riding the Armor Trike to survive high-speed hazard sequences and proceeding on foot to explore corridors, defeat enemies, and rescue your allies. The controls are mapped to your keyboard: use the Arrow Keys to move or aim, and press Z and X to jump and shoot.
Tips
- On the Armor Trike stages, memorizing the layout is crucial, as you must react instantly to incoming gaps, barriers, and enemy fire.
- When playing on foot, use your ability to crawl and shoot from a crouched position to safely take out low-profile turrets and ground enemies.
