Sega

Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000, known in Europe as Motherbase and Japan as Parasquad (パラスコード), is a shoot 'em up released by Sega for the Sega 32X.

Gameplay

Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000 uses the same isometric viewpoint as the successful arcade game Zaxxon, but despite its North American title implying as such, the game is not thought to be related. This game features flat shaded polygons (in a similar manner to the Super NES game, StarFox, or Sega examples such as Virtua Racing or Stellar Assault) and the ability to latch on and "hack" other spaceships, taking their weapons with you.
