Gunship is a helicopter action game, released as part of MicroProse's Gunship series for the Sega Mega Drive. It was developed by Probe Software and published by U.S. Gold exclusively in PAL regions, although a US release was planned for March 1993[5].

While it shares a name with a previous Gunship release from 1986 (and would be followed by a 1996 Gunship and Gunship! in 2000), this Mega Drive game differs significantly from other games in the series, in that it is an action-orientated release as opposed to a detailed simulation. The Mega Drive version contains a mixture of on-the-rails and side-scrolling shooting stages.
