Dead Angle on the Sega Master System is one of those old-school shooters that feels like it was designed to drain quarters at an arcade—except you can play it at home without going broke. You’re a lone cop blasting through waves of mobsters, and the controls are simple: move, shoot, and try not to get surrounded. The pixel art’s got that gritty ‘80s vibe, and the music? Pure synth adrenaline.

First few minutes in, you’ll realize cover is your best friend—duck behind cars or barrels, because enemies come from all angles (hence the name). It’s tough but fair, and once you get the rhythm down, clearing a screen of goons feels stupidly satisfying. Just don’t expect a deep story—this is pure arcade action, no fluff.

If you’re into retro shooters, this one’s a solid time capsule from the Master System era.
