Play Midnight Resistance (Japan) Online
You're a cyborg commando blasting through waves of mutants and soldiers while frantically adjusting your eight-way aim—just try not to get shredded by saw blades or roasted by flamethrowers. That crunchy synth soundtrack makes the chaos even sweeter.
Midnight Resistance came out for the Sega Genesis in 1990, developed and published by Data East. It was one of those early run-and-gun shooters that felt right at home on the system, sitting alongside other action-heavy titles that pushed the hardware's color and sound capabilities without too much fuss.
You control a soldier on a mission to rescue your family from a sinister organization. The game scrolls vertically and horizontally as you move through industrial and military complexes, using a unique rotating joystick mechanic to aim your weapon in eight directions independently of your movement. You collect keycards to progress and upgrade your firepower with spread shots and homing missiles. The pacing is relentless, with enemies swarming from all sides and environmental hazards like electrified floors adding constant pressure. It feels tense and demanding, but landing a perfect shot while backpedaling from a boss is deeply satisfying.
