Bomber Raid is one of those Sega Master System shooters that feels simple at first—just a little jet blasting enemy planes—until suddenly you're weaving through bullet hell while trying not to crash into the ground. The controls are tight, and the difficulty ramps up fast, especially when those screen-filling bosses show up.

It’s got that classic arcade vibe where you’ll memorize enemy patterns after a few deaths (and there will be deaths). The music’s this weirdly catchy synth march that somehow fits perfectly when you’re dodging missiles. Not gonna lie, the hit detection can feel a little unforgiving, but that’s part of the charm—it’s pure 8-bit chaos.

If you’re into retro shooters, this one’s a solid time capsule from the era when games didn’t hold your hand. Just don’t expect to beat it on your first try.
