M.U.S.H.A. on the Genesis is one of those shooters that just feels right—like the devs took everything great about the genre and cranked it to 11. You're piloting this slick mech with weapons that evolve as you grab power-ups, and the second you start blasting, the screen fills with bullets, explosions, and neon chaos. The first level tricks you into thinking it's manageable, then suddenly you're dodging a boss that takes up half the screen while synth-rock blares in the background.

What really sticks with me is how tight the controls are—your mech moves exactly how you want, which is crucial when everything’s trying to kill you. And that soundtrack? Pure late-'80s cyber-energy. It’s the kind of game where you’ll retry a stage just to hear the music again. If you’ve got a Genesis and even a passing interest in shooters, this one’s non-negotiable.
