One of the most unfairly designed action games out there, but the charm of its premise and 'censorship' make it worth the hassle. The original arcade version was very overtly themed around the chernobyl incident, and the process of censoring that out for the genesis remake gave the game a very bizarre tribal aesthetic. The result is some of the best-looking background designs on the Genesis library, alongside a very powerful soundtrack. If you're not down for this game's harrowing control scheme and enemy design, I'd at least recommend watching a playthrough online, just for the style.
