Super Space Invaders on the Sega Master System is one of those games that looks simple until you actually play it. You’ve got your little ship at the bottom, a grid of aliens creeping down, and that iconic, tense soundtrack ramping up the pressure. At first, it feels like you’ve got this—just shoot, right? But then they speed up, start zigzagging, and suddenly you’re sweating over pixel-perfect dodges.

The aliens drop bombs in these weirdly unpredictable patterns, and if you lose your last life because of some cheap shot, you’ll absolutely yell at the screen. But that’s the charm—it’s pure arcade frustration in the best way. No fancy power-ups, just you, a laser, and a high score to chase. If you dig retro games that don’t hold your hand, this one’s a solid time capsule.
