Play Hurricanes (Europe) (Beta) Online

Blow up everything in sight with reckless abandon—bullets, enemies, even the scenery crumbles in chaotic firefights that feel like a lost Contra prototype. Rough around the edges, but that just makes the explosions more satisfying.

Game Overview

Hurricanes (Europe) (Beta) is one of those SNES games that somehow slipped through the cracks—probably because it never got a full release. But man, what’s here is a blast. You’re dropped into these frantic, screen-filling firefights where everything explodes if you so much as sneeze at it. Controls are snappy, the action’s chaotic in the best way, and it’s got that weird, slightly janky charm only '90s European devs could pull off.

It’s like someone mashed up Contra’s run-and-gun chaos with the over-the-top explosions of Metal Slug, then left it half-finished in a drawer. Some sprites are clearly placeholders, and there’s no manual to explain what half the power-ups do—but that’s part of the fun. You’re basically playing a "what if?" from gaming history. If you’ve ever geeked out over prototype ROMs or lost betas, this one’s worth firing up in an emulator just to see the madness for yourself.

Just don’t expect a polished experience—it’s rough, loud, and gloriously unfinished.
