Gameplay

Experience high-octane action in Sega’s Heavy Metal, released in 1985. This two-player game combines driving and shooting elements as players control tanks maneuvering through hazardous environments. Using an eight-way joystick and two buttons, you'll navigate vertically scrolling stages while blasting away enemy units and obstacles that impede your progress. Heavy Metal utilizes Sega’s “System 2” hardware to deliver a fast-paced experience designed for cooperative play. Players must work together, strategically positioning their tanks to overcome the challenges presented on screen. Success relies on quick reflexes and coordinated attacks as you advance through each increasingly difficult level. The game's design allows two players to compete simultaneously, adding an element of friendly rivalry alongside collaborative gameplay.
