Play Same! Same! Same! Online
Dodge swarms of enemy planes from the first second, grab power-ups to turn your tiny fighter into a screen-clearing beast, and survive bullet hell against massive pixel-art bosses. Pure Genesis-era arcade chaos.
Same! Same! Same! came out for the Sega Genesis in 1989, developed by Toaplan. It was part of that wave of arcade shooters that felt right at home on the console, demanding quick reflexes and a lot of patience. The game doesn't waste time with a complex setup; you're thrown into the action immediately, which was pretty standard for the era.
You pilot a fighter jet through vertically scrolling stages, shooting down endless enemy aircraft and dodging their dense bullet patterns. Your main goal is simply to survive as long as possible, destroying everything in your path. Key mechanics include collecting red and blue power-up icons to enhance your main shot and secondary options, like homing missiles or wide spreads. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty is unforgiving, especially during the screen-filling boss encounters. It feels like a constant, frantic scramble to stay alive just one more second.
