Blam! Machinehead (ブラム!マシーンヘッド), known in the US as Machine Head , is an action shooting game developed by Core Design and published by Virgin Interactive for the Sega Saturn . The game was also released for DOS and PlayStation . A Sega 32X version of the game was once in development, but was cancelled. Development of the game was initially for the Mega CD as a sequel to Battlecorps before being moved to more powerful systems.
Gameplay
Blam! Machinehead is similar in design to Core's earlier Sega Mega-CD release, Battlecorps , with players driving a vehicle from a first person perspective, shooting at enemies and obstacles while trying to get to specified locations on the map.
