Game Overview

Project MD is one of those weird little Genesis games that somehow slipped under the radar back in the day. The first thing you notice is how crisp the movement feels—your character snaps to jumps and attacks with that perfect 16-bit precision. The pixel art pops with those saturated Sega colors, and the music? Absolute fire, like someone distilled 1993 into synth riffs.

I won’t lie, the first level threw me off. It’s not quite a platformer, not quite a shooter, but some weird hybrid where you’re dodging spinning saw blades one minute and blasting through a corridor of neon enemies the next. Took me a few tries to get the rhythm down, but once it clicks, you’ll be hooked. That "one more run" feeling hits hard.

It’s got that rough-around-the-edges charm of a game made by a small team who just really loved the Mega Drive. If you’ve ever dug through bargain bins for hidden gems, this is exactly the kind of thing you’d hope to find. The cartridge probably smells like old plastic and nostalgia.
