Play Galaxy Robo Online

Galaxy Robo is one of those SNES games that makes you wonder how you missed it back in the day. You hop into this hulking mech, and within seconds, the screen’s packed with alien swarms, laser fire, and explosions that somehow don’t turn the whole thing into a pixelated slideshow. The controls are tight—your mech moves just heavy enough to feel powerful but still lets you weave through bullet hell when things get crazy.

What I love is how it keeps switching things up. One stage has you boosting through asteroid fields like some high-speed space ballet, and the next, you’re plowing through enemy bases, watching your missiles send debris flying in slow-mo. The weapon upgrades are a blast to experiment with—I kept switching between the spread shot for crowd control and the laser for melting bosses (which, by the way, are gloriously ridiculous in size).

It’s got that perfect ‘90s arcade vibe—no tutorials, no hand-holding, just pure action and the kind of soundtrack that sticks in your head for days. If you’re into classic shooters, this one’s a must-play.
