Line of Fire (Master System) is a Sega Master System re-interpretation of the Sega X Board arcade game Line of Fire. As the Master System cannot handle real-time scaling and rotations, the game is reduced to just being a vertical shoot-'em-up.

Story
Jack, a solider of the Allied Forces manages to infiltrate the enemy base and discovers a state of the art assault rifle. Soon after however, he is detected and attacked by enemy soldiers. Hijacking an enemy jeep and later a boat then a helicopter, Jack must pass through enemy lines and reach Allied Headquarters.
Gameplay
Line of Fire is a simplistic shoot 'em up. Button 1 fires the guided missiles while button 2 fires machineguns. While machineguns can hit any enemies, missiles' hit range depends on the vehicle you are using. If you are using Jeep or Boat, missiles will hit air targets and while in a helicopter they will hit only hit enemies on the ground. This arrangement seriously limits players' tactical options. Missiles while having no homing ability has limited guidance as they can be moved with D-pad after firing.
There are two types of power ups: Medical kits increase the health of the vehicle while missile bundle increases amount of missiles.
Every level has a mid boss and level end boss.
