    XDR (エックス・ディー・アール) (X-Dazedly-Ray[4]) is a Sega Mega Drive horizontal shoot-'em-up developed by Affect and published by UNIPACC. Released exclusively in Japan in August 1990, the game is notable for being one of the poorest received Mega Drive games ever released, and was frequently voted the system's worst Japanese-developed game by readers of Beep! MegaDrive magazine.[5][6]

    Story

    The warlord Guardia was banished from the planet Sephiroth, otherwise known to be a very peaceful planet. Many years later, he returns, complete with an entire army which overpowers the Guardian army, leaving one hope: the newly developed XDR craft.

    Gameplay

    A shoots. Rapidfire is an option "AUTO" under the "CONTROL" option in the Options menu. Higher auto fire rates can be achieved with autofire enabled controllers. The game has no bullet limiter, so shots are fired until the game slows down and sprite flickering appears C changes speed; the current speed is shown in the HUD. 4 speed are available. Powerups are collected as in other shmups, except that missiles can also be collected, in limited quantities, and fired with B. These crawl along the floor and ceiling until they hit a target

    History

    Release

    In a user ranking organized by Beep! MegaDrive, XDR ranked in at position 519 out of 520, making it the second most unpopular game at that time, behind only Sword of Sodan. It was frequently criticized for its weak graphics, poor sound effects, dodgy collision detection, and boring gameplay.
