Power Athlete on SNES is one of those weird, over-the-top sports games that feels more like a fighting game than anything else. You pick from these absurdly jacked athletes—like, these guys make Street Fighter characters look scrawny—and then just start throwing down in events that barely resemble actual sports. The shot put? More like a rocket launcher. The long jump? Basically flight.

The controls are simple, but timing matters—if you mistime your button presses, your guy stumbles or just faceplants. And the pixel art is gloriously exaggerated, with muscles bulging and sweat flying everywhere. It’s not deep, but it’s the kind of game where you’ll keep playing just to see how ridiculous the next event gets.

If you’re into retro games that don’t take themselves seriously, this one’s a blast for short bursts. Just don’t expect realism—or subtlety.
