Play Fire Mustang (japan) Online

Fire Mustang is a Japan only release for the Sega Genesis, also known as the Mega Drive. It was published by Sega, and it fits right in with the kind of action platformers that were common on the system in the early 90s. You won't find much fanfare about it, but it has a specific style that makes it stand out from other games of its time.

You control a lone warrior on a quest to rescue a princess, moving through a series of side scrolling and top down stages. Your main objective is to fight through waves of enemies, from soldiers to mythical beasts, using your sword and a limited supply of throwing knives. A signature mechanic is the ability to call a horse; you can mount it for increased speed and a higher jump, but you lose the horse if you take a hit. The game also shifts perspective frequently, switching from standard platforming to an overhead view for certain areas, which keeps you on your toes. The pacing is fast and the difficulty is quite unforgiving, with aggressive enemies and limited continues. Playing it feels like a relentless test of your reflexes and memorization skills.
