Play Greendog ? The Beached Surfer Dude! Online

Greendog: The Beached Surfer Dude! came out for the Sega Genesis in 1992, published by Sega. It arrived during a time when the console was full of colorful action games, and this one definitely stood out with its oddball premise. You play as Greendog, a surfer who gets stranded on a cursed island after a shark bites his board.

You guide Greendog through side scrolling levels, fighting off skeletons, pirates, and other island threats. Your main goal is to collect pieces of an ancient medallion to lift the island's curse. Instead of a weapon, you mostly use a frisbee like projectile to stun enemies, and you can also throw a boomerang bone. A lot of the game involves careful platforming and exploring each screen for hidden items and paths. The pacing is generally relaxed, though some jumps require precise timing. Playing it feels like a breezy, slightly strange cartoon adventure.
