Developed by Syrox Developments, Ltd. and published by SEGA, VR Troopers arrived on the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive in 1995 as a fighting game.

It landed about 6 years into the Genesis's life. Other notable Genesis releases from 1995 include Mortal Kombat 3, Comix Zone and Ristar.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you've played the Genesis hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you prefer story-driven games or have no one to play against
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing VR Troopers is like

Fighting games pit two characters against each other in short one-on-one bouts. Depth comes from learning special moves, combos and each character's strengths.

Tip for newcomers: Pick one character and learn their basic special moves before branching out. Fighting games are at their best against a friend at a similar skill level.
