Play Zillion Online
You sneak through a maze of laser grids and locked doors, hunting floppy disks while Opa Opa randomly drops in with power-ups. Switch between three characters to crack codes and shut down the whole base.
Zillion came out for the Sega Master System in 1987, developed and published by Sega. It was one of those games that felt a bit different on the SMS, a system where action platformers and arcade ports were common, but this one leaned into exploration and puzzle solving in a sci-fi setting.
You control JJ, a member of the White Knights, infiltrating a heavily guarded alien complex. Your main goal is to find three passcards to unlock the final area and destroy the base's generator. The gameplay involves careful screen by screen exploration, avoiding laser beams and enemy patrols, while hunting for key items like floppy disks to open doors. You also have a limited use laser pistol for defense, but ammo is scarce, making evasion often smarter than confrontation. The pacing is methodical, almost tense, as you map out safe routes and manage your resources. It feels like a thoughtful, sometimes unforgiving, puzzle box that rewards patience and observation.
