Super Dropzone on the GBA is one of those old-school arcade-style shooters that somehow feels both simple and punishing at the same time. You pilot a little ship that drops bombs downward while dodging waves of enemies—sounds straightforward, but the screen fills up fast with bullets and weird alien things. The controls are tight, though, and once you get the rhythm of dropping bombs while weaving through chaos, it’s weirdly satisfying.

First time I played, I got wrecked in like 30 seconds. But after a few tries, you start recognizing enemy patterns—some dive straight at you, others zigzag, and a few just sit there being annoying. The music’s got that classic GBA chiptune energy, too. If you’re into retro shooters that don’t hold your hand, this one’s a solid time-waster.
