Truxton Game

Oh man, if you’re a fan of classic shoot-’em-ups that punish you for blinking, Truxton on the SEGA Genesis is your kind of game. This 1989 arcade port throws you into a neon-drenched nightmare of relentless enemy waves, screen-filling bosses, and bullets—so many bullets. But here’s the kicker: it’s fair. Every death feels like your fault, pushing you to master its tight controls and weapon upgrades (that spread shot is chef’s kiss). Compared to other shooters of its time, Truxton stands out with its vibrant, almost hallucinogenic visuals and a soundtrack that slaps harder than a malfunctioning power-up.

Nostalgia alert: This was the game that separated the casual players from the true masochists. No hand-holding, no save points—just you, your reflexes, and the grim satisfaction of finally beating that one boss after 20 tries. If you love old-school difficulty with a side of psychedelic flair, Truxton is a cult classic that’s still worth firing up today. Just don’t blame us when you start seeing enemy patterns in your sleep.
