  • i was skilled enough to beat it when i was 10 ;) suuuuuuuuch a good game!

  • i bought it for 50

  • Unlockable ships : A: unkown fighter , levels up weapons when it picks up a gun pod and looks like small police car.

    B: serene , can use any weapon including juno and flash beat game on hard mode to unlock.

  • I agree with the bizarre machine.

  • Remake for 3DS. Prees.

    

  • One of my favorite games next to omegaboost

  • I have a demon for the first level, and I have always wanted this. Why don't they re-release this on a collection disc? I mean, PS1 Classics! Come on! Genisis does it, why not PS!

  • I envy the Japanese. They are the only ones that got this on the PSN.

  • I ate this game up when I was a kid, I finished it completely secret ships and all. I still have it to this day case and manual, this is truly an over looked gem. The music, style, controls, gameplay fantastic I don't remember any lag when the game starts getting brutal around stage four

  • I played this game back in the day. I think I was 8. I looked up this video because I found my old einhander game. I don't have a playstation 1/2/3 though. :(

  • @EToastE i;ll buy it

  • @EToastE could you donate it to me?

    

  • mark sounds like tim from tim and eric

  • i actually had this game back in the day. like a fool i traded it in. too bad i didnt appreciate shmumps back then..

  • Damn, this game was on a demo i got in the mail circa 98. And i loved the level i played but could never see past that..... it's a hard to find game now=[

  • This is probably my favorite game of all time. People always talk about PS1 games such as MGS and FF7 or some shiz, screw those games, they suck!

    ...well, compared to Einhander they do.

  • i have the original cd ;) U Jelly?

  • @RandomZombieGuy I got the original cd too, but not the case. Pretty sure someone took the case thinking the cd was in it when it was in my ps3 hahaha damn fucker.

    Its been available to download on japan PSN, but not north america, should release it in HD like wipeout, damn that would be a blessing

  • Squaresoft was the greatest videogame developer of the 90's

    Good times

  • Einhander beats final fantasy vii in terms of best ps1 game of all time

  • "Dies ist eine Warnung! Entladen Sie alle Ihre Waffen!"

  • Comment removed

  • i've lost my copy many years ago.... hiks.... i want to played it now

  • When i can found this game? Pleaseeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! I love this gameeeeeee

  • i still have the demo disc for the ps1 which came with Einhander and other classics like Tomba and Blasto, it is AWESOME

  • @JakubTilecky I remember it too, Miss those days playin tha "Interactive Disc"

  • @eskaphlonaey those were the days but it would be awesome if the full game was on the cd 

  • @JakubTilecky get a PSP2000, hack it, its the BEST gaming Investment ever, i could get this game tbh if i wanted to but im to lazy to search for the rom, but trust me, get one if you want to relive the GloryDays

  • @eskaphlonaey yea i know, but i want to actually have the game on my shelf and stuff. I've played roms and iso's before but its always better the original way

  • @JakubTilecky Not with Star Fox on SNES. :p The game can be emulated at 60fps instead of the original 15. It's so much smoother and it's much easier to control and much more enjoyable.

  • @Quartrez there is a new starfox for the 3ds and its similar to the n64, i heard muliplayer is awesome too

  • @JakubTilecky it's not similar to the n64, it IS the n64 version. They added some stuff in Multiplayer, but that's about it.

  • @Quartrez It's still a pretty cool game but I would like to see more new games not just remakes for 3DS

  • @JakubTilecky Indeed.

  • Man I remember when I had a demo of this with Devil Jersey, Tomb Raider, and some videos. Man that was some fun stuff back then....then I bought all of the game today, hard to find, but man. its worth buying again just to relieve memories as a kid!!!

  • Just got this game today and its f**king awesome! Bladerunner meets rtype!

  • I have instant dislike of the narrator.

  • Comment removed

  • Why doesn't mark make reviews like this anymore? remember the like 7 part MUSHA Reviews. This beast is almost 10 minutes long, and its only the part one of two.

  • I finally found it!!! No wonder I couldn't remember the name, it's not even English lol. Man this brings back memories playing the demo and tomba or whatever it's called that kid with the boomerang.

  • I loved this game since the original Demo. I purchased it with Hot Shots Golf back in the day

  • This game is totally awesome, especially when i was a kid. I sure did have a great childhood growing up with the classic games.

  • THE best shooter ever made.

  • EmFan...dude... amen to that brotha! I had a TG16 which had THE best shooters ever. And still Einhander was just.... amazing... loved it.

  • i always played the demo of this game and it was til fun and iwas sad that i couldn't get this game T_T

  • I always wondered what it was that the first boss was trying to say to me. I guess it's all been cleared up now. I guess he didn't hear about the update to Youtube's rating system though.

  • wow this game looks awesome, and its unique in its genre ( shoot em up)

    im download it xD

  • I got this game on eBay perfect condition with Manuel and cd case. LUCKY ME :)

  • Man I loved playing this as a young kid. Wish i still had it...

  • probably best game i ever played, so well designed

    too bad not really much people know this game

  • Hmm, the Earth's is screwed if all it's got protecting it are giant tunnel crabs, Donkey Kong, giant flying turtles, and a T.Rex that can barely walk.

  • EINHANDER translates to God hand i miss this game i still got thesound track

  • @mozart0341

    I thought it meant "One hand".

  • @SilentStalkerX your right im sorry its one or single-handed like a sword learn something new every day i guess

  • i was 6 and im playing the demo.... i remember that in the "fall part" in the begginig thats a seret ray gun

  • ddude i remember playing this when i was like 6! and my older cousin always getting to that hand boss. hearing that creepy lady... thank you for posting this. i have to buy this somewhere

  • 3:40 what the space-police (or whatever) says is german too! lol why did they made it all german? would kinda interest me .

  • @0M9H4X Because the city that you are in is a german city (the city of Gesetz which means law in german).

  • 2:47 that stuff in the background is german too.

  • I remember playing this as a kid and I never knew the name of this and have been searching for months!! Thanks for posting it =))

  • MUSHA FTW!!!!

  • esse com certesa foi um dos melhores games de NAVE que jaga joguei , incrivel

  • Einhänder is my best shmup Ps1 game!!

    lots of weapons, changing speeds, full enemy bullets, great bosses, gr8 soundtrack.

    and fckng hard!! I beated this game only in Normal mode...and was orgasmic xD

  • Salander boss music in einhander is actually a remix of thunder force V 1st stage boss song when fight it underwater. i never notice that until now. Einhander actually pay respects to Thunder Force, thats whats up.

  • opps i mean Salamander not "salander" lol

  • This looks amazing.

  • i want a xbla remake

  • @alteclansig well the original is in PSN but i think only for japan.

  • I hate that alot of playstations 1 games had some decent graphics in it's intro video, but graphics sucked in game play.

  • @214cardenas the technique of the playstation 1 is now nearly 20 years old. So the graphics of the old games were good for its time. Nowadays they look and they are pixelated of course but in those days when we came from super nintendo or sega genesis or something they were awesome.

    Greetings from Germany. :-)

  • @214cardenas i know rite!

  • Yes!! i have this game a very fun one too :D

  • A DS port of this game would rule. It would be awesome to be able to play it anywhere <3

  • And to think that I had this game when it first came out... and I still have it today... in my PS1... under the Wii/360 and above the Dreamcast... next to the computer...

    also I unlocked all the weapons in the booklet (I love the laser blade and the Riot gun) but is there anything else I'm missing?

    And what this I hear about "Flash" and "9999 ammo fighter"?

  • @Ultrox007 the flash is a railgun that falls out of the rotating thing coming out of the ceiling in level 3 if you destroy every single enemy that falls out of it. It's the most powerful weapon in the game and allows u to kill the first boss in 7 seconds = D also, there are two unlockable ships, and one of them is a red astraea which gives 9999 ammo to one of its weapons. The other is a cop car from the first level which doesn't actually hold gunpods, but has an upgradeable machine gun

  • Einhander, Twisted Metal 2, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Old 007 Games, Super Smash Bros, Virtua Cop, and Halo 2 A short while after the 360 came out everything went to hell. Xbox 360 and Ps3 are shit. Ps2, Sega Genesis, original Xbox, and N64 are my childhood. "Almost" nothing good came out of the 20th century.

  • @LemonsArentSour Oh and i forgot about Gex!

  • @LemonsArentSour 20th century was the 1900s homeboy, the 2000's are part of the 21st century

  • Comment removed

  • @tattleboad oh... :I

  • @LemonsArentSour ITS OK, common mistake really. just make sure to remember next time

  • *sniff* old spyros where the best now they try to make it more adult :C

  • i beat this game 4 times, i found out how to get to secret levels as well which is mainly accessed by defeating bosses in irregular ways, this is also how to unlock special guns the the lightning gun (Riot) and a freaking bad arse gattling gun (Juno)

    EINHANDER FTW! MWAHAHAHHAA!!! ^w^

  • @xXaltowolfXxmp3 Did you unlock the flash? and the 9999 ammo fighter? This game is so fucking fun!

  • @LemonsArentSour HELL YA IT IS!!!! X3

    sry

    yes i have the flash, BUT I HAS NO SPECIAL FIGHTERS!!! XP

  • remember gettin the demo with the original playstation but thought it was too expensive back then so i spent hours just playing this demo over and over and over again

  • @Yoshii49 until u see how much it is now :(

  • You could open a dance club up with Einhander's music!!! It is that good!!!

  • Einhander: Friendship Edition

    The manliest game in which you make friends by shaking hands.

  • i remember i use to own this game ages ago omg seeing it brings back memoriesthe wepons the frustration yeah i remember this i made it all the way to the rocket im not even sure how close i was to the end but at one point your facing a mech like thing its got a sword and like wings and its at a constant slope if you kill it you pass the slope and go up into the sky and face the rocket and thats where i never made it past from what i remember the game was godly

  • what a great game this was! this needs a psn/xboxlive release!

  • This game screams 1997, is an excellent game!!!! Remember this game most by, the part when the lady laughs 2:49!!!!

  • Yeh, I've always pondered what's the shit on the bottom right.

    I played the demo, myself and had to download this. And I have to beat it out with Invincibility.

    The creativity..it's such art, but the difficulty is insane. Not sure how the unlocks are. And I accidently skipped something after the credits, fucking a.

  • äää ööö üüü ßßß german keyboard ftw

    but its also gramaticaly correct to spell "ä" "ae" even though its not very common.

  • I prefer the Japanese version. The weapons has more bullets...

  • The German word is "Einhänder" and not "Einhander" ^^

  • I use to play the demo when i was a kid. Loved it then and just ordered the game the other day, Came in TODAY!!! HELL YEA!!!

  • Holy shiiitttt,,,love this game, still have it. Cannons switch top to bottom,,Classic game. Graphics,,sound. Thses guys needs to come out with a PS3 ver.

  • These 2d shooters were way more fun and challenging than the big budget FPS that we get spoon fed today. I wish game producers would give us more of these on a collector edition disk for PS3 &Xbox. Something like Thunder Force i ii ii iv v &vi. I would pay the going rate of these so called top shelf FPS for a collection like that. If anyone thinks this is a good idea and would put down their hard earned cash for a collection like that in HD, give me a thumbs UP!!!

  • This game and Thunder Force IV (LIGHTENING FORCE) are tied for my favorite shooter of all time.

  • i still have this game since 1998! along with FF7 i used to play this alot! i mean alot! for too much spending time of it i can even finish this game without dying from the start at hard difficulty i mean who does when you suck too much keep repeating the stage known all your enemies movements..man this game should have a SEQUEL! best scrolling shooter ever made!!

  • i love the double pod fighter....homing wasp plus cannon combo ftw

  • Someone from Square got back from a screening of Blade Runner and had some crazy ideas.

    It worked... kind of.

  • my friends kept thinking it was earth and mars, rather then earth and the moon

  • Funny thing is my demo disc (red) has a baby pinky triangle size chipped off and it works fine lol ...

  • Like @vitoramen28 said, best shooter in Playstation...

  • esse pra mim é o melhor jogo de tiro pra play 1

  • I dont like when japanese game/anime creators use german xD it just feels not right to me as a german...^^ Einhänder is a good example..or anime called Kämpfer or Fate/stay night...I just cant stand it ^^ but Einhänder rocks O_o

  • japanese psn account ?!

  • God bless the 90s man I played the shit out of Einhander

  • if you have a ps3 and make a japanese psn account, you can get it on the store :D

  • @GaBB0256 or use emulator and snag a copy online. Playing it on my laptop with ps3 controller

  • @KedViper those were the demos for Interactive CD Sampler Vol. 7.

  • @DonnyK17 hahaha i remember that disc. had blasto tomba and resident evil 2 preview. wish i had that dis.

  • My god, you don't want to know what I went through to find the name for this game. MONTHS AND MONTHS of going through the list of PS1 games on wikipedia just to find it.

    It all paid out, and it really is as good as I could remember. Gotta go find me a copy now!

  • first shump i ever played

  • blasto tomba einhander, granturismo 1/2 and all spyros and crsh bash and some rugrats game, and soem otehr racing game made m ychild hood a liviong blitz

  • i remember wen i bought the game at circut city for 40$ only place i found it good ol days. =,[

  • Thanx for posting and explaining! I had this game and of course LOVED IT!!! I heard brand new, unopened (mine was), it went on e-bay for $450! I don't doubt it! Ah yes, the good old days!

  • i love that futuristic dystopian cyberpunk setting too, really atmosperic. however im not so much a fan of side scrolling shooters....some of them are fun though

  • These were the good ol' days. I remember back when Square used to make such unique, fun, and just plain awesome games ever. On the other hand, Enix was always a shitty company with bottom tier games. When both companies merged, the originality and creativity died.

  • yeah they really need to make another one, with the ps3 so much more could be done on top of all the original awesomeness, id get a ps3 just to play it

  • hey kzundiverus I had that playstation underground disc back in 98 and it was awsome but you couldnt play re2.

  • i love the soundtrack its badass

  • I have had this game since it came out. Still have yet to beat it...

    Some day I hope...

  • they should make a remake on the ps3 sony u wnant some smart business executives make me one and i will fix this shit u keep doing gt5 being delayed for 6yrs omfg

  • that ship looks like something from invader zim

  • i played this one at my cousins when i was a kid and obviously when games were frustrating ppl got mad threw controllers or whatever. but man i remember even back then not getting so frustrated dieing cuz the game WAS and probaly still is that much fun. aweseom game, gotta pick this up on ebay soon damn it

  • Oh my god. I remember this game, I rented this when I was like 8. I need to go buy a PS1 and get this game. This is one of my favorite games of all time.

  • you ought yo play Border Down! A Posthumous side shooter released for dreamcast in 2003, very amazing

  • Jolly good show. Border Down is amazing.

  • This looks so good that I refuse to see part 2 before playing the actual game!!

    Shmups are the best and this one looks really kick-ass, thanks for telling me about it!

    5*

  • Gosh I loved this game!! Even tho - gotta admit - I've never been able to finish it.. =(

    I had the Japanese version. I so loved to use the cannon!

  • I spell this Einhänder!

  • man a great game loved it

  • I was In LOVE with this game when it came out.. Definetly One of the greatest shooters of All Time!!

  • hey man, did you get hit at all while playing in this review???

  • The greatest shooter i have ever played with the playstation along with G- Darius, my favorite weapon was the flash cannon on the mk-III and the the JUNO on Astrea, but my favorite favorite fighter was the cab. It is crappy but with enough pickups it is a beast. Now excuse me while i go and own some good boss fights.

  • I have an einhander most nights

  • be glad you own a copy CGR...

  • Yeah, it's at least 40$ on amazon, just for a used copy.

  • one hander

  • they need to put this game on the psn..

  • nice, i never caught this one at the time. Time to look it up and convert it to a psp image.....

  • I'm pretty sure Einhander stands for more like one-handed, not one-hander, it's not related to a sword, but to the shape of the fighter.

    /cpt obvious

  • @theoneandonlymememe

    nope the exact translation can only be one-hander. Sry bro.

    I'm german... I gotta piss people off :D

  • oh it had

    Blasto, Tomba!, Einhander, Gran Turismo, Hot Shots Golf, Jersey Devil, Gex 2, Tekken 3, Tomb Raider II Video: NFL Xtreme, MLB '99, Spyro the Dragon, Resident Evil 2. Metal Gear Solid, NBA Shootout 98,PSU CD Magazine

  • I had that too :)

  • That was my first Demo Disc, man I remember playing the hell out of all of those games!

  • @KedViper I HAD THE SAME DEMO CD IT WAS A RED CD

  • same i got tomba and gran turismo which is when i got gt 1 cause it owned same with this i got 4 games cause of that dmeo i got tekken 3, gran turismo 1 eihander and metal gear solid

  • @KedViper

  • @KedViper Dude, I had most of those games you mentioned. They were all pretty great!

  • @KedViper

    Haha thats all I played as a kid

  • @KedViper do u remember what # disc that was? i had it as a kid and i've been trying to track it down off and on for a few years

  • @shane1108 I don't remember. Check online.

  • @KedViper I still own like half those games =P oh those were the days, all the games were new and inovative, I love it. Love the news ones, but they just...feel like less.

    NOPE

  • @KedViper >Jersey Devil

    lolwut

  • Comment removed

  • @KedViper

    I remembered every one of those before I read your post. I need to find that demo disc :(

  • @KedViper ahhh yea it did it did good ol days when that shit was like major now we all 3d games and alll still great you know but still the old days were the innocent ones

  • Ithis game was made in germany its fun and coll and hard

  • I lol'd at 8:52-9:01.

  • "This is the incredible Einhander."

    I always enjoy Mark's reviews, but rarely has one of them made me crave to try a game that I'd never previously even heard of, the way this one does.

    Holy crap that's a cool game! It's like they scanned my mind and created my dream shmup.

  • old school side scrolling shooters look cooler

    i don't know why

  • 8:19, lol

  • The dialog is in german/english and the game was made in Japan

  • there are so many games that i would have loved but never knew about back in the day!!! never too late though

  • the voice at the intro is from resident evil!!

  • say Ä!

  • to get a red einhander ship, you have to get 15 s bonuses. to get the first ship you kill, you have to beat the game on hard (i think). to get the juno, you have to wait for it to pop out of the 1st level boss. to get the mosquito, you have to destroy this weird apc looking thing on level 5. to get the flash, you have to destroy the falling thing on level 3, then ALL of the things that come out of it.if you do it correctly, you will get your wanted flash rail cannon. all of that is from memory.

  • the 15 s bonus unlocks the stupid little police ship (cockroach) that swarms in the first level. to get the selen, the red one, u gotta finish the game on hard without using a continue, which is damn near impossible. i've been trying off and on for 8 years and still haven't done it. for the juno, u gotta make sure the 1st level boss is the (08) black version by blasting out the bottom saucer of the floating police bot.

    the (09) green version doesn't have the juno
