When it comes to retro gaming, the Sega Genesis (also known as the Mega Drive in Europe) has a plethora of classic titles to choose from. One of the lesser-known gems of the system is Burning Force, a third-person shooter developed and published by Namco in 1990.

In Burning Force, players take control of the 21-year-old space cadet Hiromi Tengenji, a pilot training to become a member of the Space Force, who must complete each level by shooting down enemies with her airbike, and avoiding projectiles. The game features six worlds divided into four areas, with the first two sections of each world having Hiromi control her airbike, which can move to the left and right, brake and accelerate, and fire bullets and missiles at enemies. The third area of every world is a boss battle, and the airbike will be transformed into a flying ship, which can move in all directions. The fourth area of each world, however, is a bonus stage and the player has to collect as many spheres as possible for bonus points.

One of the standout features of Burning Force is its smooth and well detailed graphics. The game runs at a fast pace with plenty of action, making it a thrilling experience. Additionally, the game's soundtrack is noteworthy and adds to the excitement and immerses players in the futuristic world.
In conclusion, Burning Force is a solid choice for fans of the genre and especially for those who appreciate a good soundtrack in their games. It's a shame it's not as well known as other titles on the Sega Genesis, but it's definitely worth giving a try for retro gaming enthusiasts.
