Arena: Maze of Death - 1995 - Trapped in a Futuristic Labyrinth! - Game Gear | Shortplay
Arena: Maze of Death, or just Arena, is a top-down action game released for the Sega Game Gear. The game is an action game with an isometric perspective. Players assume the role of Guy Freelander, a one-man mercenary squad who is trapped in heavily guarded and deadly areas with the primary goal of surviving. He faces enemy troopers, robots, and mutants. Rounds are maze-like environments consisting of multiple rooms in which Guy must find keycards and activate switches to unlock doors and find his way to the exit. Activating switches can also cause enemies and items to appear.
GAME RECORDING INFO:
The game was scaled to 4k, without bi-linear filtering, and retaining the original aspect ratio (screen ratio, not the internal resolution). I also use a shader that simulates the Backlight LCD Screen of the original Game Gear, to create a nostalgic atmosphere.
