METRO CITY

Streets of Rage 2 (1992)

Platform: Sega Genesis

This side-scrolling beat 'em up is a masterpiece of 16-bit action. Killer soundtrack, tight combat, and a co-op mode that still rules. A must-play!

Super Metroid (1994)

Platform: Super Nintendo

Atmospheric, lonely, and absolutely beautiful. One of the best examples of exploration in a 2D space. Timeless.

Metal Slug X (1999)

Platform: Neo Geo / Arcade

Explosions, insane pixel art, and that classic arcade chaos. Get ready to die a lot. And love every second.
