Steel Talons (スティールタロンズ) is a helicopter combat game originally released in arcades by Atari Games. It was later brought to the Sega Mega Drive.

It is one of the few "3D" games to be released for the console, and has the player pilot a helicopter overcoming various missions. Unfortunately the frame rate is extremely low when compared to the arcade version, rendering the Mega Drive version almost unplayable.
