Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000
Sega 32X · 1995
About this game
This 32X-exclusive sci-fi shooter is similar gameplay-wise to Sega's arcade game Zaxxon.
The graphics consist of a diagonally scrolling playfield which creates a pseudo 3D environment.

The backgrounds are drawn using 2D scrolling planes, but the enemy and ship objects are drawn using 3D flat-shaded polygons.
Although the basic goal of each of the 9 levels is to shoot everything without getting shot, the game has a strategic element.
Your basic spacecraft has very little firepower, and can only sustain one hit.
To make matters worse, there are very few power-ups.
In order to survive, you have to jump on top of enemies and take control of their weapons systems.
This system allows for a large variety of player-controllable ships.
About Sega 32X
The Sega 32X (1994) was an add-on designed to extend the aging Genesis hardware's life ahead of the Saturn's launch, but it confused the market by competing with Sega's own next-generation console for developer support. Its short, roughly one-year commercial life resulted in a small game library, making complete 32X titles a compact but genuinely scarce niche for Genesis-era collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000 for Sega 32X with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This 32X release dates back to 1995.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Sega 32X titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
