The Mega Phaser is an unreleased official Sega Master System controller. Despite having its name trademarked, being given a serial code (43051) and advertised in 1988 (with what is assumed to be concept art), the peripheral never materialised for unknown reasons.
The Mega Phaser is an extension of the standard Light Phaser, being shaped more like a real firearm (with a folding shoulder stock) and featuring rapid fire capabilities. Press reports from the day seem to suggest it was designed with Rambo III in mind, though would have functioned with any Light Phaser-compatible game.
This "machine gun" accessory was slated for a UK release in 1989[1] but was quietly cancelled before any physical models were seen.
