Ship is an unreleased Sega Mega Drive game by Technopop. Development did not seem to progress very far before the game was axed, however, a very early prototype was unearthed by drx on November 24, 2007.
The game is very simple in design. The player controls a ship similar to the one in Asteriods. 
accelerates while the 
and 
allow the ship to turn. When held down, 
activates a shield, and 
allows the ship to fire. Ships are manipulated by the gravitational pull of a star in the centre of the screen, and if a ship touches this star, it will be destroyed.
The game defaults to two-players with five lives each. There is a one-player mode in the prototype, however as there are no on-screen enemies the only thing that can occur is death. There are no sounds and the graphics are minimal, however numerous physics and gameplay features can be altered via the options screen, inlcuding reversing the gravity or arming each player with infinite lives.
