Battle Frenzy

Battle Frenzy is a 1994 video game developed by Jim Blackler for Domark Software and published by Acclaim in 1994 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis console in Europe only. A North American release was planned, and even reviewed in gaming magazines, but never actually came out. The game was re-released the same year for both the Mega Drive and the Sega CD as Bloodshot, again only in Europe, though the Sega CD version had a homebrew release in North America in 2004. Battle Frenzy was one of the few first person shooters released on the Mega Drive/Genesis.

Story

In the year 2049, the Earth moon base Yaz 67 is destroyed by an alien battlecruiser. The Earth Federation Starfleet Command retaliates by sending two of its own space battlecruisers against the alien ship with the goal of damaging the ship's defenses and taking as many prisoners as possible. When soldiers enter the battered alien ship, they find it completely controlled by robotic soldiers who outgun and outclass the boarding humans. The ship is eventually taken on to Earth's orbit and human scientists successfully shut-off the alien robot crew using electromagnetic fields. However, when the scientists reactivate the cruiser's computers, they find an invincible space carrier containing even more robot soldiers and armed with extremely destructive Nova bombs is on its way to Earth. If the ship is disabled before it reaches Earth, then it is programmed to crash onto Earth's surface and detonate the bombs. The only way to completely destroy the carrier is to destroy its twelve plasma node cores. Once the plasma node is destroyed however, the entire deck the node is located on will explode.
