Space Gun on the Sega Master System is one of those old-school light gun shooters where you just point and blast aliens—no overthinking, just pure arcade chaos. The pixel art has that classic late '80s charm, with chunky alien designs and explosions that somehow feel satisfying even now. At first, it seems simple, but then the screen fills with weird floating orbs and crab-like creatures, and suddenly you're frantically reloading.

What I like is how it doesn’t waste time—you grab the gun (or controller if you're playing an emulator), and within seconds you're already in the middle of some alien hive getting swarmed. The sound effects are crunchy in that nostalgic way, and the music has that synth-heavy vibe that makes it feel like a lost arcade cabinet. It’s not deep, but it’s the kind of game you fire up when you just want to zone out and shoot things for 20 minutes.

Fair warning, though: some of those later levels get brutal. You’ll memorize enemy patterns or die trying.
