Stargate

Developer: Acclaim Entertainment

Stargate on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis turns the film’s premise into a tight, fast-paced side-scrolling action experience. Players move through hostile environments, blasting enemies, navigating platforming hazards, and confronting large boss encounters across short, intense stages. The game leans on crisp, arcade-style pacing and limited resources to create a demanding challenge that rewards pattern recognition and precise timing. Retro sound and sprite work deliver a gritty sci-fi atmosphere, making it a nostalgic pick for players who enjoy unforgiving, pick-up-and-play platform shooters from the 16-bit era.
