Play Man Overboard! – S.S. Lucifer Online

Man Overboard! – S.S. Lucifer was released for the Sega Genesis, though it never saw a wide commercial release. It was developed by a smaller team, and it fits right into that era of the platform where experimental, high-concept games could still find an audience. You get the sense it was made by people who loved the hardware's quirks, even if the budget wasn't huge.

You control a crew member trying to survive the sinking of a demonic luxury liner. Your main goal is to simply stay alive by navigating the tilting, burning decks, putting out fires with a limited supply of water, and avoiding hazards like swinging cargo and loose furniture. The ship floods and lists more severely as time passes, forcing you to constantly recalculate your path. It's a frantic, claustrophobic race against a clock you can't see, and playing it feels like trying to stop a disaster with your bare hands.
