Overview
Description

Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale built around squads of “Legends” with unique abilities, praised for its fast, fluid movement, gunplay, and ping communication system.

Curse is a 1989 side‑scrolling shoot ’em up developed and published by Micronet for the Mega Drive. Players pilot the ancient starfighter Baldanders to repel the Parcerian military and destroy the ominous warship known as Mother across five challenging levels. The game’s story unfolds in a dying alien solar system where the once‑peaceful planets Parceria and Seneca clash after a mysterious silence from Parceria. With single‑player action, classic pixel graphics, and a haunting sci‑fi narrative, Curse offers a nostalgic challenge for retro gaming enthusiasts.

So much fun

Apex Legends has been my go-to lately. Strong hero design. One gripe: steep aim skill ceiling. Would recommend.
