Play Steel Talons (Beta) Online

Steel Talons for the Sega Genesis was a port of the arcade helicopter combat game, developed by Tengen. It arrived on the system during a period when many arcade titles were being adapted for home play, offering players a taste of aerial warfare without the need for quarters.

You pilot an attack helicopter through a series of missions, targeting enemy vehicles and installations. The game uses a behind-the-craft perspective, with controls for maneuvering, aiming, and firing missiles or a machine gun. Enemy fire comes from all directions, requiring constant movement and situational awareness. The difficulty is steep, demanding quick reflexes and careful resource management. It feels tense and demanding, especially when navigating through narrow canyon passes under heavy fire.
