Metal Head (メタルヘッド) is a Sega 32X action game developed and published by Sega. An attempted first person shooter and initially planned to be a launch title, the player controls a bipedal mech tasked with destroying enemies on the map. The game is notable for having large amounts of digitized speech and a fully 3D environment, placing it above most other 32X games when it comes to technical achievements.
Unfortunately due to hardware restraints, the draw distance is incredibly low. The game also runs quite slowly, ruining the action in the process.
