Master of Weapon is an arcade video game.

A seven-day nuclear storm brings on a big change on the earth. The earth cracks, the sea boils and the living things change. And human is no exception. After finishing of the cursed 7-day war, the remaining people change their cells and return to the nature in order to endure severe environmental changes. However, a selected part of the people - they had been called scientists - create a computer, which can lead the people in order to leave a seed humankind. This computer is called N.

Trivia

The title on the title screen is "Master of Weapon" but the title was probably supposed to be "Master of Weapons" as certain marquees says it is.

A very rare prototype of this game is known as "Yukiwo".

Pony Canyon / Scitron released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Taito DJ Station : G.S.M. Taito 5 - PCCB-00037) on 21/08/1990.
