Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000 / Parasquad Japanese Packaging Box Art Translation

Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000 / Parasquad (7.14.95)

Not a true Zaxxon title, CSK Research Institute's isometric shooter received negative reviews for it's underwhelming gameplay and sub-30 FPS framerate. Viewing footage on YouTube, the game did have a fun presentation/aesthetic and likely would have benefited from being released on the Saturn with a longer development schedule.

Take over the enemies!!

The mighty planetary military empire of Gojas has begun a terrifying invasion. Over on the natural star, Jura, a frontline defensive base has been constructed. Furthermore, by analyzing remnants from the Gojas army, the 'parasite connector' was developed, capable of hijacking the computer controlled enemy ships...


In this unique game system, you'll take over one enemy after another. Featuring true to life polygonal graphics, this is a 'super exciting' shooting game!!


Hijacking a wide array of enemy vehicles, destroy the enemy forces!! A miraculous polygon shooting battle!!

'Borosuta,' one of the rich array of boss characters.

Morphing from its flying saucer shape, the eerie 'Satellite Saucer'

With an independently moving face, hands and feet, this is 'Big Moai'

Your own aircraft, as well as enemy crafts are constructed of polygons. It's an intense shooting battle in 3D space.
