Just a rail ’n a maze: Rescue Mission & Maze Hunter 3-D

We're back to Master System for a while, and folks, this was a rough reentry. I learned a lot about Master System hardware while trying to acquire literally ANY usable Rescue Mission footage at all—turns out this game is bizarrely hard to get working since it requires use of the Light Phaser but struggles to read the peripheral via my television on both real hardware and MiSTer. Special thanks to Mr. Porkchop of misteraddons.com for going to extra mile with me to figure out how to get the thing working (it gave his setup fits, too). Was it worth the trouble? Well, not really. Rescue Mission is charming and has some good ideas, but it is possibly the most frantic and unfairly-stacked-against-the-player light gun game this side of Revolution X. Eventually, Sega would discover the concept of a "continue feature," but that day is not today. Happily, Maze Hunter 3-D holds up a lot better! It's a different sort of 3D game, one that goes for the diorama effect rather than an immersive first
