Ground Zero Texas

Ground Zero Texas is a full-motion-video (FMV) shoot-'em up, that was released by Digital Pictures for the Sega CD/Mega CD. There is plenty of full-motion video footage in this game, so if you like these type of games then you are half way to liking this game. The other half is a shooting type gallery game, and it's also critical that you're at the right place at the right time, for the moments where you need to save people. It's a pretty fun game, and it feels like you're in some kind of old B-movie. They really took care in supplying plenty of fmv game fillers to build up the story and get your adrenaline pumping. Some people might not like this game because of the limited game play and just shooting things on screen. But i don't know what these people are expecting, this is an interactive game that uses your participation, that's what it is. Overall i think it's great for an Fmv type game, it's also one of my favorites.

Conclusion - Ground Zero Texas is a cool fmv game, So if you enjoy these type of games, then be sure to add this to your collection!

Rated this 8/10.

This was one of the better FMV (Full Motion Video) games for the Mega CD/Sega CD. In this game a small Texas town is being invaded by aliens, and you're their only hope. If you can't stop them, they'll invade the entire world. Most of the time, you have four cameras that you control at four critical points in the city. You have to switch between the cameras and shoot the aliens when necessary. You do this by controlling a cross hair with your control pad. You also need to collect letters and numbers for a code that will later get you into the aliens secret base. It's a pretty cool game that's pretty well acted. It kinda feels like you're controlling a cool B-movie. The game was directed by Dwight H. Little, who has directed films such as Murder at 1600 and Rapid Fire, and TV show such as The X-Files and Prison Break. It's a pretty fun game, and it shows what you can do if you really try to push the FMV game formula to the max. If you have a Mega CD/Sega CD, don't pass this up!

This game is good. You are in Texas and you shoot the aliens.

They have many games that you can watch on sega Cd. They are movies. They are video games too. Ground Zero Texas is made in America. I live in Brasil and it is not easy for me to retrieve sega Cd games. In Brasil the sega Cd is very good. Do not shoot the pretty women. Shoot the aliens only. People talk to you like a movie. If you like this game you can email me. Sincerely, Lewis Naeem

You know what that means!?! Yep, lots of lame acting and the same footage being shown over and over and over again. To be fair, it was not horrible, but beyond one rental in the 90's I never had the urge to touch this one again. You use cameras and guns to take out aliens who are disguised as humans first. You shoot them, they fly Hollywood style. Then they come at you in all their alien glory and you shoot them and they explode. This segment of the game is the most fun as the music sets the mood and it is a tense situation. Then the finale comes and you have no idea what to do to win the game and you only have one shot. You miss, you have to go back and do a whole heck of a lot of stuff again to get to that point. I would of given the game a six if not for this annoyance. Never won the game thanks to this. What is so wrong about letting me just continue right before the finale? Seriously, the girl that is helping you tells you to shoot it in a vague location and you see something and have to shoot it in the right location and at the right time. Fail! This CD game follows the usual format of games made for Sega CD, a few B and C list stars talk to you and you view a bunch of film clips and then you have some action. You see the same shot of people flying backward when you shoot them, and you see the same explosion of aliens during the attacks when they are aliens. The Sega Cd was a strange device. It produced these throw away games, but it also had a fairly good set of role playing games in Lunar and Lunar II.
