Play Angry Birds in Russia Online

I picked up Angry Birds in Russia for the Sega Genesis, a cartridge that never actually saw an official release. It's one of those odd, unofficial ports that floated around, and it feels exactly like that: a rough conversion of a touchscreen game crammed onto 16-bit hardware. The graphics are chunky, the colors are a bit off, and it has that distinct, unpolished feel of a bootleg title from that era.

You control the slingshot cursor with the D-pad, lining up shots to fling the different birds at structures housing the green pigs. The main objective is to topple every building and eliminate all pigs on each stage to advance. The signature mechanics are the slingshot aiming, which requires careful positioning for the best trajectory, and utilizing the unique abilities of each bird type, like the Bomb Bird's explosion or the Blue Birds splitting into three. The pacing is slow and deliberate due to the control scheme, making it more methodical than the frantic mobile original. It feels like a strange, slightly clumsy but oddly charming artifact from a different timeline of gaming.
