Play Global Gladiators (europe) Online

Global Gladiators came out for the Sega Genesis in 1992, published by Virgin Games. It was one of those early 90s platformers that tried to stand out with a licensed mascot, in this case McDonald's, which gave it a certain novelty on the shelf next to the Sonics and Marios of the era.

You control a kid named Mack, running and jumping through levels to rescue your friends from the pollution monsters. Your main goal is to collect golden arches in each stage, but you also need to gather recyclable items like cans and bottles to earn continues. The gameplay is screen by screen, so you clear one area before moving to the next, and you use a projectile weapon, a goo shooter, to defeat enemies. It can be a tough game, with some precise platforming required and enemies that respawn quickly. Playing it feels like a race against the clock, trying to manage your resources while navigating the hazards.
