Zillion Play Order

Zillion in release order, from the 1987 White Knight base hunt through Tri Formation in 1988. The Norsa base hunt builds straight through both runs, so release order keeps each laser code and bike stage in place.

About Zillion

Zillion starts in 1987 with JJ, Apple and Champ raiding the Norsa base with light gun codes. The Master System run mixes maze rooms with bike stages and999 codes. Tatsunoko ties the anime looks to the same White Knights.

Tri Formation from 1988 continues on Master System with bike heavy runs and new Norsa maps. The series shares laser guns but resets bases, so release order suits base feel over plot. No new Zillion had been dated as of September 2026, which leaves the pair as the set with anime as background.

Good to know

Play Zillion first for the code base well, then Tri Formation as the bike follow up. Codes need manual reads more than aiming, so keep the pack in notes nearby. The anime fits after the games as background rather than a must. Treat the pair as complete, since a sequel stayed spiritual rather than direct.
