Line of Fire is a Sega Master System re-interpretation of the Sega X Board arcade game of the same name. As the Master System cannot handle real-time scaling and rotations, the game is reduced to just being a vertical shoot-'em-up.

Story
Jack, a solider of the Allied Forces, manages to infiltrate the enemy base and discovers a state-of-the-art assault rifle. Soon after however, he is detected and attacked by enemy soldiers. Hijacking an enemy jeep and later a boat and a helicopter, Jack must pass through enemy lines and reach Allied Headquarters.
Gameplay
Line of Fire is a simplistic shoot-'em-up. Button fires the guided missiles while button
fires machine guns. While machine guns can hit any enemies, the missiles' hit range depends on the vehicle the player is using. If they are using the jeep or the boat, missiles will hit air targets, and while in a helicopter they will only hit enemies on the ground. This arrangement seriously limits players' tactical options. Missiles, while having no homing ability, have limited guidance as they can be moved with the D-Pad after firing.
There are two types of power-ups: Medical kits increase the health of the vehicle while missile bundles increase the player's amount of missiles. Every level has a mid-boss and an end boss.
