Surgical Strike (サージカルストライク) is a Sega Mega-CD game developed by Code Monkeys and published by Sega.

The game is interesting as it was due to be brought to the Sega Mega-CD 32X combo unit, but was said to have been cancelled at the last minute (the US Mega-CD version of the game even goes as far to advertise the 32X upgrade). While this is true for North America, Europe and Japan, the CD 32X game did see a release in Brazil, making it the only 32X Brazilian exclusive (although the game itself is still in English).

This was also the last first party release for the Japanese Mega CD.

Gameplay

Surgical Strike is a full motion video game where the objective is simply to move a targeting redicule and fire either your gattling gun or missiles at specified targets before they "shoot" back.
