Mega Lo Mania is one of those weirdly addictive SNES god games where you guide a civilization from cavemen to futuristic warriors—if you can survive long enough. You start with a handful of little dudes bashing rocks together, then scramble to research better weapons before your rivals steamroll you. The tech tree’s surprisingly deep for a 16-bit game, and there’s something hilarious about watching your pixelated armies go from throwing spears to launching nukes.

It’s got that classic ‘90s strategy vibe where everything feels chaotic at first, but once you figure out how to balance farming, research, and not getting wiped off the map, it clicks. The beta version’s a bit rough around the edges, but that just adds to the charm. You’ll probably lose your first few matches spectacularly before the rhythm of it sinks in.
