Item Description

Few Master System games change shape as often as Action Fighter. It starts you on a motorcycle tearing up a scrolling highway, firing on the enemy vehicles trying to run you off the road, and it does not leave you there for long. Pick up the right parts along the way and the bike becomes a sports car; add a pair of turbojets and that car lifts off the asphalt entirely, turning the game into an overhead shooter with helicopters and jets filling the sky.

That transforming vehicle is Sega having fun with the Spy Hunter formula, and it is the reason the game sticks in the memory. One moment you are weaving through traffic and jumping water on two wheels, the next you are strafing targets from the air. A truck bearing the Sega name rolls along the road too, and driving into it is how you upgrade, a bit of self-promotion that feels right at home on a Sega console. Five stages, each capped by a boss, give a run its shape, and two players can take turns chasing a better score.

It is rough around the edges, with plenty of sprite flicker and a difficulty curve that does not mess around, but Action Fighter has the charm of a company still discovering what its new console could do. It began as a 1986 Sega arcade game and came home in the Master System's first year, and it plays like a snapshot of that moment: bright, busy and a little reckless. Think of it as the Master System's own Spy Hunter, with the flying car Spy Hunter never had.

About the game

Take to the streets or take to the skies. Because Action Fighter is the incredible, transformable combat vehicle. You start out on a customized cycle. Built with enough speed and power to jump over water and overtake enemies. Then, by finding the right parts along the way, you'll change your cycle into a supercharged, state-of-the-art sports car. Next, add two turbojets to make your car airborne. And take to the skies. Down hyped-up helicopters and jet spaceships from above. And no matter which vehicle you're manning- or who you're after- get ready to stand by for action!
