Play Uchuu Senkan Gomora (Japan) Online

Uchuu Senkan Gomora is a Japan-only Sega Genesis release from 1993, developed by Micronet. It arrived late in the console's life, a time when developers were pushing the hardware with ambitious shooters and complex mechanics. The game puts you in command of a massive battleship, filling a good portion of the screen, and tasks you with clearing each stage of enemy forces.

You control the Gomora ship, navigating it through side-scrolling and occasionally top-down stages. Your main objective is to survive the enemy onslaught and defeat the boss waiting at the end of each area. The ship has a primary forward cannon and secondary weapons you can collect, but its sheer size is its most defining feature; maneuvering it through tight corridors and dense asteroid fields requires careful planning. Enemy bullets and small fighters swarm from all directions, demanding constant attention to positioning. The pacing is deliberate, almost slow, because turning the ship around feels like guiding a building through a narrow alley. It feels like managing a floating fortress under constant siege.
