Truxton, called Tatsujin (タシジソ) in Japan, is a 1988 arcade shoot-'em-up developed by Toaplan. It was ported to the Sega Mega Drive and released internationally in 1989 (1990 in Europe). Gidans have begun an invasion of Borogo and have managed to destroy all but one Borogo fighter ship; the player must take control of this ship (the "Super Fighter") and defeat the Gidans.
Gameplay
shoots, 
shoots rapidfire, and 
launches a bomb (which resembles a full screen size skull when exploding; you have a limited supply of these). Powerups are mostly found in predetermined areas, though some may be scattered. There are a number of types of powerups:
| File:Truxton Red Powerup.png | Power Shot — the default weapon of the Super Fighter. It is a standard bullet shot, upgradable to create spread shots. |
| File:Truxton Green Powerup.png | Tatsujin Beam/Truxton Beam — the strongest weapon in the game, capable of cutting straight through enemies. The downside is that it can only fire forwards. |
| File:Truxton Blue Powerup.png | Thunder Laser — a continuous beam of energy that locks on to enemy targets. Upgrading adds more beams and increases the strength. |
| File:Truxton P Powerup.png | Power Booster these powerups add a "P" to the HUD on the right side of the screen. After a certain number of Ps are collected (initially 5), your weapons power up one level. This powering up will last until you lose a life, but will carry over from weapon to weapon until then. There are three "levels" of upgrades. |
| File:Truxton S Powerup.png | Speed Booster — increases the speed of your ship. There are five levels of speed - collecting these items after your ship is maxed out will grant the player 5000 points. |
| File:Truxton B Powerup.png | Tatsujin Bomb/Destroyer Bomb — adds a bomb to your arsenal. Bombs destroy all small enemies on screen and evaporate enemy bullets. They can also significantly damage bosses. |
