Blazing Lazers / GUNHED Full Game

[SwagSwitcha]

i never got pass area 7 :(

[Youkudotcom]

This game looks like it would be great if you are having trouble sleeping.

[tekkenfan01]

Shame you were a fraidy cat for the first boxx.

[MyPaco1979]

i beaten this game also but why is he not getting the power up in the first stage until he maxes out his bombs? (15 is the max by the way) I prefered the sheild with power up 4 the rotating balls give extra protection and they destroy enemies. try it, it will help out alot against bosses also. Still good job!!!!

[hoisonsauce]

I think they ran out of ideas when they got to the last boss. A giant woman? What, was shark car already being used?

[cabsk8er7]

I played til area 7 and got bored.

[elabit]

@cabsk8er7

or you played til area 7 and then you died n00b!

[RoninOmega7]

Creepy boss music is creepy...

[RadiumZ1]

one of the worst, most annoying audio in a game.

[matt29171]

How come none of the other ships have guns like you do?

[GodzillaXAbudAwwal]

gunhed, best movie, best game, best music, awesome special effects (from movie), awesome graphics (from game), kickass manga, all in all, gunhed rocks

[nibelung34343]

member bonks adventure i had that and this game

[stadiumstatus26]

1st time ive ever seen the homing missiles in effect like that bro.....great job

[Adaddy]

u kicked this game ass and with the weapon i though was the hardest to use..u sure showed me a thing or 2

[bogercs]

Feels like I'm watching a movie right now, But with Action!!!

[FCEngine]

two people disliked this/?? they're on crack

[Rathar09]

WOW there is someone out there who can beat this game i never made it past the tank on level 9 until the other day and got to the tri-beast and after that my game got stuck. U-SUCK FOR BEATING THE GAME!!!! sarcastically saying.

[eXOBeX]

I've heard a different ending theme as well, a more upbeat version. There's a way of triggering the ending from the title screen, but can't remember how to trigger it. I thought the I-II-I-II repeat trick got the sound test up? The difficulty screen rings a bell though.

[KungFuRascals3]

7:15 I always loved this levels music. HEY! Either I'm on speed or you sped the video up :-).

[SonnyAMan]

I always used the thunder weapon to finish the game. Especially on the bubble level. Whatever it's called...

[KungFuRascals3]

I always did like that thunder weapon too (#4 right?). That combined with a shield. Of course if you lose that weapon late in the game you are doomed....

[SonnyAMan]

It's #3... Field Thunder. If you charge it up to the max level you can fire it and simply sweep to the side and clear out the whole damn screen.

Yeah, that coupled with the shield was beast.

[Minion066]

The Blazing Lazers faq on gamefaqs said homing missliles were useless, along with the "I" weapon...bah!

This playthrough helped me finally defeat stage 9! The part after the tank boss was impossible for me without homing missiles.

[Doza130]

level 4 homing missiles are nearly unbeatable in this game. If you can make it to the last level with them you can own the boss.

[ca1daddy2]

oh wow turbo graphics 16! i use 2 have this game ! good 1 !

[grenadier33]

If you max out weapon I and then collet 50 purple orbs (without picking up any other powerups of any kind), a glowing powerup that looks like your ship will move down (or maybe up) the screen. If you pick it up, your 5 way fire will become 8 way fire. If you then pick up IV, you get the four orbs orbiting your ship and keep the 8 way fire, but you'll lose 4 of the 8 homing missiles... you'll be unstoppable.

[grenadier33]

It may have been in the video, I didn't watch the whole thing (yet!).

[basszguy123]

who knew that only 9 levels could be this hard and long....

I HATE HATE HATE 6. That's the furthest i ever got (dang u 5) Best powerups for the levels up to 6

1-1

2-2 or 3

3-4

4-3 F

5-4 S

6-4 H or M

6-4

[CalmedNutHead]

damn the music is so beautiful

[Seyeklopz]

After playing this about 800 times, I managed to get one perfect win with zero hits on my ship.

This, dungeon explorer, and ninja spirit were my favorite games.

[Seyeklopz]

Only shooter that beats blazing lazers is galactic attack on sega saturn.

[emperorzombie13]

awesome soundtrack, i remember the good old tg-16, too many crappy games though, most the good ones were only in japan.

[travisahhs]

@emperorzombie13

Yeah, my brother had one when I was 6. I got a taste of it at a young age. It definitely failed here due to the lack of games NEC kept in Japan. Dracula X alone would have been a system seller for the Turbo Duo here.

[emperorzombie13]

@travisahhs

hmm, ive never played dracula x.

luckily there are emulators.

[seopeter22]

man, old games rule. modern games are all about graphics and looks which is bs.

[DionMarinos]

I love this game!!

when I first played this game i was like 14 and it was called gunhead or something for pc engine. 1 year before TG16 came to where i was in b.c canada. my buddy brought a pc engine back from over seas and man i didnt even know thoese systems existed at the time. nice video :)

[nightmathzombieethan]

I remember the only time I played this I was around the same age (maybe 10-12, and living in N.S.) and they had it running in a store display (Radioshack maybe?). I stood there and played for like an hour, I'm kinda shocked they never threw me out!!!!

And thus, my addiction was born and continues to this day!!!

"My Name is Ethan, and I'm a Videogameaholic!"

LOL

[mstoner49505]

I have always wondered.... what does that power up do that changes into the different types of guns and such, and if you shoot it enough it flashes? i pick it up and like the screen flashes and the ship next to the live count turns gold, but i havent noticed it do anything else

[cliff1987]

If you pick up that ball that is rainbow colored, once you die, you can continute right exactly where you got killed, not having to start way back in the level which helps you beat the level faster, or at least a better shot at beating it

[VendavalEste]

I can't watch all of this right now, but I like the music in the stage at 8:30.

[Egglesplork]

_____The TANK BOSS has inspired my next CHROME HOUNDS creation! Hmm... Maybe we can have THREE howitzers up front. Of course it'll be on tank-treads... The spread-shot's easy enough; just use shotguns. (Remember when those things were cheat-weapons?) I'll just have to be ready to get owned because treaded vehicles in that game are easy targets. Still, it can be done!

[eutue]

this game is 20 years old and i still want to play it more than many X-Box 360 games.

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

That, my friend, is the magic of Compile, one of the greatest video game companies that ever existed.

[Doza130]

Try going through it with fully upgraded homing missiles.

[Trapster2]

Gunhed and Blazing Lazers is the same?

[ihateyourface99218]

GunHead is the Japanese name for it

[narox]

Look at how smooth and fluid everything moves! And fast action. The Turbografx is great system. It's a shame it didn't do better sales in the USA.

[LaynesAngryChair]

The BEST retro space ship shooter game PERIOD!

[SAGAIA2]

This game is awesome but there are better ones in my opinion like MUSHA, Soldier Blade, Gate of Thunder, and Gradius Gaiden.

[DrLove0378]

@6:51... "f*** it, I'm outta here!"

[starsoldier1]

Damn, I still love the music to this awesome game.

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

It's a shame that the T16 never reached the popularity of the SNES or Genesis. The T16 turned out some damn good games.

[takechan21]

turbo grafx is super CPU!

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

I love these SHMUPS.

[GMIX6809]

Nice GJ!

[rifter01]

That was funny.. You defeated the boss at the end of area 2 in like 5 seconds flat. He only had a chance to get 1 shot off before.. Area 2 Clear! hehe

[SeventhSun]

So there you are my blood brother. Playing and putting out a video of the game you got in the mail recently.

Good show!~

[cherrera7]

Nice work, Tone. Damn shame about that hit though; the following explosion even echoed, as if to rub it in your face!

[FreedomGotAnAK]

I find the lack of delicious Brenda Bakke in this game... DISTURBING!

[Nintega]

Beautiful just beautiful :D

BTW did you know about the hidden difficulty select screen? Hold select and keep pressing II and I back and forth during the intro cutscene. You can choose from "Normal Dog" and "Hard Human". You can also play it on "Super Mania" if you hold select when on "Normal Dog" and press II and I back and forth to unlock it. Do the same when "Hard Human" is selected to get the sadistic "God of the Game" mode.

[Toneman]

No I did not know about that!

BTW when I saw the Gunhed title screen in GMIX6809's video, I heard an explosion, was that a difficulty increase?

[Nintega]

No the Japanese title screen is like that. The explosion sound starts with the logo flashes.

[Esprade]

Glad to see you finally uploaded all of this!

[yourmomas93]

56mins???? how???

[shubibinman]

awesome video man!!! Keep 'em coming!! You got some real skills!! That damn stray bullet!!! LOL!

[goemon7719]

this game remind's of SUPER STAR SOLDIER though' which is a good game to :>

[jpvarga5]

Same company :)

[Esprade]

Well, Compile designed Blazing Lazers/Gunhed. I don't think they had anything to do with Soldier Blade or Super Star Soldier. If you ever play Spriggan on the PC-Engine, its pretty much the spiritual sequel to Blazing Lazers.

[goemon7719]

i never play Spriggan' before super star soldier, and soldier blade, i did play tho'

[Nintega]

I have Spriggan. Great game :D

[FreedomGotAnAK]

Any chance of Spriggan getting on Virtual Console, stateside? I know you're usually a skeptic, what with most western exec's shunning anything "too Japanese", but with Star Parodier on VC, now ANYTHING could happen. And, an OVA based on Spriggan got released by Pioneer, which might make it a treat for fans of the anime who never got to play the game.

[Nintega]

A Spriggan OVA? There is an anime called Spriggan which is nothing to do with the game.

[FreedomGotAnAK]

I dunno... I remember seeing the site for it before I found out that Spriggan was the original name of Striker, and I thought it had to do with the game. I kinda feel like an idiot now.

[Toneman]

You're not the only one AK.

I always thought the Compile Spriggan was based off the anime myself.

Now there is also Spriggan Mark 2

[Esprade]

Spriggan Mark 2 isn't as good... Its really text heavy for a shooter, and its horizontal instead of vertical. It just seems average.

[Nintega]

You can turn off the text in the options screen in Spriggan 2.

[malducci]

"Well, Compile designed Blazing Lazers/Gunhed. I don't think they had anything to do with Soldier Blade or Super Star Soldier. If you ever play Spriggan on the PC-Engine, its pretty much the spiritual sequel to Blazing Lazers." If that's the case, then why is the ship(first boss) from Blazing Lazers in Star Parodier - which is a parody of the Star Soldier series by Hudson themselves. ;)

[SAGAIA2]

Because Hudson published Gunhed/Blazing Lazers. I guess they got Compile's permission to use that sprite. Who knows?

[Esprade]

Doesn't mean that the same team worked on the games. If you play Spriggan and Blazing Lazers, you'll understand what I mean. The controls, even many of the sound effects in Spriggan are the same in Blazing Lazers. Compile games have a certian "feel" just as Konami games, Capcom, ect.
