About Body Count

Body Count has a simple story: aliens have invaded the Earth, and a lone soldier who is particularly skilled at shooting and sniping is called to save the planet. The game is an arcade-style shooter. The player shoots from a first person perspective at enemies that keep appearing on the screen. Once a sufficient amount of enemies has been eliminated, the player is automatically transferred to the next fixed screen. On the way the player can pick special items that allow the use of a powerful all-screen attack a limited number of times.

A rail shooter built around the Menacer light gun, with no US cartridge to hunt for.

Body Count is a rail shooter from Probe Software, published by Sega. It came out in Europe on 15 July 1994, and it is one of the few Genesis / Mega Drive games to use the Menacer light gun and the Mega Mouse.

There is no US cartridge to buy, so the European cart is the one to look for.

Before you buy

Sega Retro lists the Menacer as required and the Sega Mouse as supported, so a buyer needs a Menacer. Among games with no US cartridge it sits above the middle, and it is worth checking carefully, so ask for a photo of the board before paying for an expensive copy.
