Play Heavy Unit - Mega Drive Special (Japan) Online
Pilot a clunky mech through bullet hell—dodging swarms, memorizing patterns, and soaking up that crunchy synth soundtrack while explosions fill the screen. Tough but fair, like the best arcade shooters.

Game Overview
Heavy Unit - Mega Drive Special is one of those Genesis shooters that somehow slipped under the radar, which is a shame because it absolutely rips. You pilot this chunky mech straight into chaos—enemy formations swarm in from all sides, bullets spray everywhere, and the screen just fills with explosions. It’s got that perfect arcade feel where you’re constantly on the edge, weaving through patterns that look impossible until you memorize them.
The soundtrack slaps, too—all crunchy synths and driving beats that make the action feel even faster. And yeah, it’s tough as nails, but in that satisfying way where every death feels like your fault, not the game’s. If you’ve ever lost hours to Thunder Force or cursed your way through Gradius, this is right up your alley. Just don’t blame me when the third boss wrecks you six times in a row.
