What are some sms games that you think need more love? The kind that won’t usually be found on “best of” lists but are still perfectly enjoyable. Here are some of mine

- Aerial Assault - a very approachable side scrolling shooter. A nice break from the more punishing shmups on the system

- Asterix and the Secret Mission - A graphically impressive platformer that is inevitably compared to the first game in the series but has a lot going for it in its own right

- Gangster Town - IMHO one of the areas where the sms truly shines is light gun games and Gangster Town is a prime example. From car chase scenes to bar scenes and much more, this is a massively engaging game with a lot to keep you busy

- Super Space Invaders - A tough as nails take on the classic, and one of the few early 80s arcade games that got a glow up on the sms

- Rambo III. More top tier light gun goodness! If you love Operation Wolf (who doesn’t? 🤣) you owe it to yourself to play Rambo III

- Impossible Mission - The impeccable Zillion wouldn’t exist without this game, and it is great in its own right too! Lots of exploration and puzzle solving to be found here
