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.

Super Thunder Blade is a classic vertical‑scrolling shooter originally released for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in 1988. It puts players in the cockpit of a combat helicopter, battling enemy forces across land, sea, and air. The game was a launch title in both Japan and the U.S., later re‑released on Virtual Console and included in several Genesis collections for modern consoles, preserving its retro appeal for new generations.

So much fun

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