The loaded Sega Genesis mapping takes priority over generic labels.
How it plays
Pilot the gunship through horizontal combat scenes, fire at enemy targets, avoid incoming attacks, and complete the objectives presented by each mission. The Genesis version emphasizes immediate action and scrolling encounters rather than reproducing every cockpit and campaign system from the computer editions.
Plan your run
Keep the helicopter positioned where incoming targets are visible, fire in short controlled bursts, and learn the timing of enemy formations before advancing. Use the stage geometry for cover when available and preserve a state before a difficult mission transition.
Gunship is a Sega Genesis conversion of MicroProse's combat flight game, released in Europe by U.S. Gold. Unlike the detailed computer simulation associated with the original, this console version uses arcade-style horizontal shooting stages built around helicopter combat. The Europe image is the regional version of that adaptation.
