Play Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000 Online
Your tiny ship feels hopeless until you start hijacking enemy fighters mid-battle—stealing their guns turns those blocky 3D dogfights into desperate power struggles where every stolen ship matters. The weird diagonal scrolling makes dodging lasers feel like threading a needle while the whole battlefield tilts around you.
Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000 is one of those weird little Sega 32X gems that somehow makes blocky polygons feel intense. At first glance, it looks like a basic shooter—your tiny ship barely stands a chance against the first wave of enemies. But then you realize you can hijack their ships mid-battle, stealing their weapons and turning the tables. Suddenly, that clunky 3D becomes your playground.
The levels scroll at this odd diagonal angle, which sounds gimmicky but actually gives fights this weird sense of depth. You’ll dodge lasers while scrambling to land on a bigger ship before it blasts you to pieces. The power-ups are rare, so every stolen enemy feels like a victory. Just don’t get too attached—one hit and you’re back in that underpowered starter ship, scrambling for survival.
It’s brutal, but in that arcade way where you keep coming back just to see if you can outmaneuver the next wave. The 32X wasn’t exactly packed with classics, but this one’s worth digging up if you like your shooters with a side of desperation.
