Genre: Action

















Release Date RRP Code

Heavy Nova (ヘビーノバ) is a 1991 action game for the Sharp X68000 by Micronet. It was ported to the Sega Mega-CD as one of the system's two launch titles (the other being Wolf Team's Sol-Feace); the Mega CD port was not released outside Japan. Micronet subsequently ported it to the Sega Mega Drive for an American release in 1992.

You play as a giant mech beating up other mechs of various sizes. A punches and B kicks. Up rockets up for as long as the button is held; you will eventually come back down.
