About The Game ************** Name : Blaster Master 2 System : Sega Genesis Company : Sunsoft Released : 1993 Type : Shooter Genre : Action/Adventure Players : Single Player Language : English Blaster Master 2 is a sequel to Blaster Master, and although I have not played the original, most people seem to think it is not that good. But still I found it to be a nice game to play for a couple of hours. You play as Jason and control a robotic vehicle call S.O.P.H.I.A. in the game and its your usual jump and shoot side-scroller game. For more info, you can see the reviews posted at Gamefaqs.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- III. Story ***** Taken from Blaster Master Home Page (http://bmhp.iwarp.com/BM2.htm) : It has been four years since Jason's Encounter with the Plutonium Boss and the radioactive mutants under the Earth. His only reminder of the incident is S.O.P.H.I.A., the vehicle he used to stop them, which he has hidden in an abandoned barn. One day, one bolt of lightning struck the house and caused the ceiling to crumble, knocking Jason unconscious. When Jason woke up, S.O.P.H.I.A. was in pieces and the parts he had collected from his first dealings with the Mutant Bosses were missing. Little does Jason know that there are more lightning beings where the first one came from and they are planning to destroy the Earth. The beings started digging towards the Earth's core in order to shift the planet's weight off its axis, leading to total annihilation. The parts from S.O.P.H.I.A. are being used to create a robotic army to assist the being in accomplishing their mission. Now, Jason must stop them, but he won't make it without the help of S.O.P.H.I.A. Since he can't recover the parts, he decided to redesign it to better prepare himself for the ordeal facing him. After 29 days, S.O.P.H.I.A. was completely rebuilt and ready for battle. Remembering where he saw the being's footsteps, Jason jumped in his vehicle and headed towards the mountains where the challenge begins. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV.

Tips **** Not much here right now. Just keep firing and jumping. Just Kidding. * Use your simple fire splendidly. Its unlimited, so keep firing. * Use the special fire wisely. Don't use it against single enemies, wait for an area where there are a lot of enemies on screen, and then use it. * Do increase the number of credits that you get at the Start menu. Of course don't do that if you want a challenge. * You don't need to kill every enemy. No need to play Rambo. * Try not to go back to an area, as the enemy will respawn ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- VII.
