Play Mick & Mack as the Global Gladiators (Beta) Online

Mick & Mack as the Global Gladiators was a beta release for the Sega Genesis, developed by Virgin Games. It arrived during a time when platformers were plentiful, and this one stood out mostly for its unusual premise and sponsorship ties.

You control either Mick or Mack, two kids tasked with cleaning up polluted environments. The main goal is to progress screen by screen, avoiding hazards like oil slicks and bouncing off objects such as soda cans to reach higher areas. You collect items to restore the environment, and the pacing is fairly methodical, though some sections can feel clunky due to the game's beta state. Playing it feels like a strange but earnest attempt to mix environmental themes with traditional platforming action.
