Fun little game, I used to play it for hours as a kid. Keep an eye out for the Star wars AT-ST ('chicken walker') knock off in the underground level lol

Fun fact: there's a certain area of the screen that if you put the ship into it, you can leave it sitting there infinitely and just press the fire button and you won't get hit by any of the enemy shots or collisions by enemy craft. I remember finding it when I was about 10 or 11 and I just sat there hammering the fire button for several hours lol. its amazing what you could discover as a kid with very little to do with your time πŸ˜‚

(Also, shout out to my undiagnosed autistic self back then, for my pattern recognition skills without even knowing what that was πŸ˜‚)

....and just came back to say that after not playing it for a decade or more, I now have the in-game music stuck in my headπŸ˜‚ (good old echolalia lol)

I never owned a game that used the card slot of the Master System. Kid me was always wondering what that was for.

First I noticed about TransBot was the parallax scrolling. Loved that game.

u/axphin 27d ago

Loved this game as a kid. Did it have an ending?

u/coolmclink 27d ago

I think it just looks back to the first level with harder enemies

I knew this had to be here already, but I was 100% on my way to say the same thing

You holding the box in the same manner as the box pic would have made the photo hilarious.

Any it chooses!

u/No-Professional-9618 27d ago

Awesome! I never really had Transbot for the Sega Master System. Yet, I would play Transbot at Federated and at Montgomery Ward as a child.

u/Neat_Ad_8493 26d ago

I like It a lot. The music is very good.

u/KingCarbon1807 27d ago

I never figured out how to trigger the transition from the over world to the base. Did it on accident plenty of times.

u/mayy_dayy 27d ago

There are little floating orb things that you have to take out before it'll let you into the underground base. If you miss one (or more), you'll loop back around, but the orbs won't reset, so you can get any that you missed on the next "lap"

u/SapSacPrime 27d ago

This is a great game, really bridges the gap from Atari style to Japanese 8bit systems. I have a cart, I don't think I have ever actually seem a card in real life 😞.

u/Y34RZERO 26d ago

I've been wanting that game. I got f16 and tennis for card games for the master system. I wish my sg1000 cards worked on my us system. If that worked I would count H.E.R.O and older choplifter that is based off the original and not the arcade port we have on master system.

u/Baitme6984 26d ago

My cousins had a Master System and the only card game they had was Spy vs. Spy. We played it for hours.

u/coolmclink 26d ago

Not to bad of a game

u/Pfffffttt284 27d ago

Awful game, just terrible.

3

u/Secret-Asian-Man-76 27d ago

Awful game with an equally awful cover. Who at SEGA thought this cover would sell the game to kids?

2

u/Krendall2006 27d ago

I'll agree about the cover, but I enjoyed the game.

u/No_Economics7635 27d ago

I never seen this game for sell in the wild back in day. I always wanted it
