About The Masked Rider: Kamen Rider ZO
The Masked Rider is a Japanese super hero, a man who has become genetically altered to be a man/grasshopper who rides a motorcycle. This FMV game adapts scenes from the movie Masked Rider ZO, and creates a Dragon's Lair style experience. The game centers around 10 battles of the film's 3 main characters. The player watches the video and hits the correct direction or button at the right time to achieve success. The visual cues of the movie suggest the correct buttons. For example, when the Masked Rider punches, the player should press the Punch button. If he dodges left on screen, the player should press the left direction pad. Correct timing hits the enemy harder, lowering their health bar. Failure reduces the players health.

A short, prompt-driven action game that Electronic Games rated poorly.
This is the Sega CD version of The Masked Rider: Kamen Rider ZO, developed by Telenet Japan. It came out in Japan on 13 May 1994 as Kamen Rider ZO, with Toei Video publishing, and in North America in 1994 with English dubbed voices, published by Sega.
Electronic Games graded it D-, saying it has roughly fifteen minutes of actual interactive play, that the game play mostly means tapping the direction pad in response to on-screen arrow prompts, and that the video sequences are tired and fuzzy. Sega Pro's preview described fighting scenes in the style of Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat between those arrow-guided stretches.
What the press said at the time
| Next Generation Premiere Issue | January 1995 | ★★ |
“It’s guy-in-rubber suit action at the “Ultraman” level which has a certain appeal to some folks I know. But as a game, it’s almost worthless.”
“Unfortunately, like the Sega CD version of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Masked Rider Zo is not as … much fun to play as it is to watch. | would have enjoyed it a lot more if it had been a video tape.”
Before you buy
Check for a printed label and a case that matches the game. The US loose disc sits about at the middle among North American Sega CD games. A Japanese copy, titled Kamen Rider ZO, usually costs noticeably less than the US one, loose and complete. Match the disc to the console: US for a North American Sega CD, Japanese for a Japanese Mega-CD.
