Great video, as always! Man that gold bar on the side of the Jaguar version of Raiden is HIDEOUS. M.U.S.H.A. easy? Maybe I was just being a perfectionist, trying to one-credit it or something. It's been a while, but I remember that game kicking my butt.
If you didn't say Soldier Blade was a part of the Star Soldier series, I would have guessed it to be a Compile game (the "SC" in the corner, speed selection, and the power down one level after getting hit)
About the Raiden-port for Lynx: It´s not really messed up, it´s not finished. The title screen mentions the CES. That´s because development was stopped after that show, so Raiden on Lynx is essentially a beta. It was picked up for after market sales by Telegames. I am not even sure the game has an ending, some say it crashes after stage 4.
With the Lynx having an active fan community, unfinished games are occasionally released to this day.
@dave4shmups Same as the HuCard but with an extra level or two (I believe) and some arranged music. The arranged music is alright, not horrible, not amazing.
@dave4shmups It has 2 extra stages (9 & 10), complete with new stage graphics, music tracks, enemies and bosses. The remixed music is awesome, with stage 9 and 10 themes being my favorite. Also SR is slightly easier than the Hucard version, but the new levels are very hard. I would highly recommend it to people who can appreciate raiden.
Layer Section/ Galactic Attack was also released for the Windows 95 PC, and it features enhanced graphics, but an old 3dfx video card is required, otherwise it will look the same as the consoles versions.
@tetrisdave Shows what you know (which isn't much). You're my least favorite viewer so I don't mind being stern with you. Let's Play is basically a style of video. For example, if there was a video called "Let's Play Technocop" it would be a video of us live-feeding Technocop into the computer as we played it, unedited with us talking over it as we played. Basically it is like the audience is sitting in the room with us. Now get back down in the basement, you!
@MrGameSack So.... Have you considered it, it would be really fun to watch and you guys may get more subscribers from doing Let's Plays. Just think about it. :]
@teamextremerite1 I would consider it. I just don't think Joe is witty enough and his dialogue would come off as an absolute snore fest. But I'm willing to give him a try if he's willing.
@tetrisdave We could do it and it would make for a fairly easy episode. I'd just have to figure out the technical details on HOW to do it. I want to do it better than everyone else. I don't want to use a cheap computer microphone. I wonder if I still have my old sound mixer somewhere.
@KollisionBR There's no decent autofire in the Lynx version, either. But anyway usually autofire isn't fast enough for me so I pound the buttons rapidly except in the cases like the PS version where it is plenty fast. As a result, the Jag version ends up being really hard but nowhere near as difficult as the dreaded Lynx version. You literally need to lay the Lynx on your leg as you play since it must be orientated vertically in order to fire at any decent speed.
@AceEbb77 It does... because they're the same game. I thought Gunlock (or Galactic Attack) was the predecessor to Raystorm, but I was too lazy to put two and two together in my head.
Hehe, I immediately thought Joe would choose MUSHA, so my reaction was similar to Dave's, but I'm surprised it was him and not Joe who took it as his fave game of the video.
I love my SMUPs, but I am very very picky about the ones I play, so I picked out a couple of interesting ones to try later.
My favourites have to be Raiden II(PC), Phoenix(2600), and Mars Matrix(DC) as they each have some amazingly addictive quality that keeps me coming back for more.
@tatsujincorp To be honest, Zuntata has never been tremendously thrilling. They've had some good stuff, but nothing mindblowing (Darius Gaiden might be their best). Raystorm's music is average. Not bad, just kind of "there".
Another great episode, and an awesome way to end the episode. Great job guys. Nice to see some more shmups.
I really find it hard to pick between horizontal and vertical. I've always liked horizontal shooters more, but I've started to like vertical ones more too. I grabbed a whole bunch for my iPhone and I found horizontal shooters on the iPhone were more comfortable, but playing console shmups, I reckon vertical may be slightly more comfortable for me. I'm not all that sure though.
LOL I wasn't expecting that ending, superb
