Ship was an unreleased Sega Mega Drive title by Technopop. An early prototype source code discovered in 2007 suggests the game was likely a demonstration of the GEMS sound driver that was cancelled before full development could occur. The game is very simple in design. The player controls a ship similar to the one in Asteroids. B accelerates while the Left and Right allow the ship to turn. When held down, A activates a shield, and C allows the ship to fire. Ships are manipulated by the gravitational pull of a star in the centre of the screen, and if a ship touches this star, it will be destroyed. The game defaults to a 2-player mode with 5 lives each, though a one-player prototype exists where the only possible outcome is death due to the lack of enemies. While the prototype features minimal graphics and no sound, the options screen allows players to alter physics and gameplay such as reversing gravity or granting infinite lives.
