A plain Japan-only shooter that Mean Machines told its readers to skip.

XDR: X-Dazedly-Ray is a horizontally scrolling shooter with six levels, developed by Affect and published by UNIPACC. It came out on the Mega Drive in Japan on 26 August 1990 and nowhere else.

Mean Machines Sega had no time for it: it said the game looks more like a Master System game than a Mega Drive one, becomes boring after a few tries and should be missed.
