Brings what grabs you about Hyper Sentinel: good gunplay, pixel art and a sci-fi setting.

A classic side-scrolling shoot 'em up that became a cult name thanks to the infamous Mega Drive translation and the "All your base are belong to us" meme. Its signature twist is grabbing enemies with a tractor beam and using them as shields.
