Master of Weapon artwork Master of Weapon is a game released by Taito for arcades and for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. It is a basic shoot 'em up game in which the player controls a space ship that has upgradeable weapons. These upgrades are collected by destroying green transport vessels which release the upgrade for the player to pick up. An entire week of nuclear war on Earth destroys its global environment. The survivors of the war gather their strength and resources in an attempt to bring Earth back to the way it was. Using a super computer called God System, the survivors start their first step in rebuilding Earth by having the God System create machines capable cleaning and reconstructing much of what has been lost from the war. However, without warning, a mysterious mutant entity known as "N" takes over the God System; creating three strange guardian statues based on Greek mythological figures, N manipulates the God System's machines and programs in order to attack mankind. The survivors create an artificial human called Yukiwo – built to harness perfect dexterity and strength – as well as a super-powered jet for him to pilot in order to reclaim Earth from N. The spaceship starts with a basic photon cannon and air-to-ground bombs. Both of these weapons can fire continuously without a need for pause. The photon cannon can be upgraded five times for up to five streams of photons by collecting P upgrades. Additionally, the exhaust of the ship can be used as a weapon.

Description

Master Boy is a Spanish trivia / quiz game for one or two players. At the start of the game a topic is chosen: Curiosities, Geography & History, Literature, Natural Sciences, Olympics, Sports & Shows, or Traffic. With a single player three lives are provided per credit. A questions and an answer are shown and then the player only needs to press the corresponding button to determine whether the answer is true or false. Points are provided for each correct answer as well as the speed. When the answer is wrong a life is lost. The two-player game is similar but there both players answer simultaneously and share five lives. When both players answer correctly the points still will not be identical because speed is taken into account as well. The game is entirely text-based.
