A tip for anyone struggling in Road Fighter, you can use the Konami code on the title screen at "press start" to get unlimited fuel (still lose fuel when crashing). You will hear a sound if it worked. 🆗 #mastersystem #homebrew

A Sega Master System controller with the Konami code (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, 1, 2) above it.

Sega innovated in several ways with 1982’s Zaxxon and created a solid and challenging shooter that has become a classic. However, some may not enjoy the lack of depth find the gameplay frustrating if they’re not using a control stick. www.sega-16.com/2026/01/zaxx...
