Mega Games 6 Volume 1 is basically a time machine for Sega Genesis fans—throw this in your console, and suddenly it’s 1993 again. You’ve got Sonic tearing through loops, Streets of Rage thugs waiting to get punched in the face, and Golden Axe’s barbarians swinging swords like they’ve got a personal grudge against skeletons. No fancy remasters here, just the original pixelated chaos.

It’s one of those compilations where you’ll flip between games after a few levels, never quite settling on a favorite. The controls feel exactly how you remember (or how your older cousin swore they were before you realized they lied about being good at video games). If you’ve got a soft spot for chunky sprites and chiptune soundtracks, this is pure comfort food. Just don’t expect any mercy from the difficulty curves—these games didn’t believe in hand-holding.
