Powerball on the Genesis is this weird, frantic mix of pinball and soccer where you control a little dude who kicks a glowing orb into a goal. The physics feel janky at first—your player slides around like they're on ice—but once you get the hang of it, pulling off a last-second ricochet shot off the walls feels amazing.

It’s got that early '90s Sega vibe: neon colors, chunky sprites, and this synth-heavy soundtrack that somehow makes everything more intense. The AI opponents cheat like crazy, especially in later levels, but that just makes beating them more satisfying. I still remember the first time I pulled off a full-court dash and scored right before the buzzer.

If you’re into obscure sports games with a weird twist, this one’s a blast from the past worth digging up.
