Play Power Athlete Online
You sprint so fast the screen blurs, chuck javelins like rockets, and mash buttons until your thumbs beg for mercy—especially when a friend joins the chaos. Pure Genesis absurdity.
Power Athlete was a Sega Genesis release, though it never saw a North American launch. It was developed by Kaneko and published by Sega, a product of that era where arcade-style beat 'em ups were a staple of the console's library. It fits right in with the platform's reputation for fast, often chaotic action games.
You control one of two super-powered athletes, dashing through side-scrolling stages to stop a terrorist organization. The main objective is to fight through waves of enemies, screen by screen, to reach and defeat each stage's boss. Your signature moves are a screen-clearing super attack, activated by collecting power-up orbs, and a rapid dash that lets you plow through opponents. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty can be punishing, demanding quick reflexes to manage the crowds. It feels like trying to outrun an explosion while also being the one causing it.
