Apex Legends vs Sqoon

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.

Sqoon is a side‑scrolling shooter released in 1986 for the NES, where you pilot a submarine to battle alien forces that have flooded the planet. The game combines fast‑paced action with a quirky storyline about a pirate‑turned‑hero defending humanity. Developed by Home Data and published by Irem, Sqoon offers challenging boss encounters, power‑up upgrades, and classic 8‑bit graphics that capture the era’s arcade feel. It remains a single‑player experience cherished by retro gaming enthusiasts.
