Okay, so Barbie Super Model on the Genesis is way more fun than it has any right to be. You’d think it’s just a fashion sim, but nah—it’s actually this weirdly addictive mix of runway walking, quick-time events, and mini-games. One second you’re nailing poses in a photo shoot (timing’s tighter than you’d expect), the next you’re dodging paparazzi in a side-scrolling section that feels straight out of an early Sonic level.

The graphics are surprisingly bright and colorful for a Genesis game, and the music? Weirdly catchy. Like, you’ll catch yourself humming that runway theme later. It’s got that early ‘90s charm where everything’s just a little janky but in a way that makes it more fun. And yeah, it’s totally a Barbie game—glitter, pink, the whole deal—but there’s something oddly satisfying about getting perfect scores on those fashion shows.

If you’re into retro games with personality, this one’s a hidden gem. Just don’t be surprised when you get way too invested in unlocking all the outfits.
