(NES) Metal Storm - Levels 1-3 No Death Run

[Sirogi17]

VVVVV ripped this.

[caioenzo]

i wanna play as this mech in Super Mario Bros Crossover ;DDD

[marioshrooming]

I dont remember being able to to that orange rocket thing with the character. How do you do that?  And also I've only been able to make it up to the fifth boss. And with no deaths if I recall. Buts its been about 8 years since I touched this game. Why not try playing this game again? Its been a pretty long time.

[electronfox]

@marioshrooming Being able to inflict damage while gravity shifting (the "orange rocket" thing) is a particular powerup -- either the A or the G, definitely. I just don't remember which one is which.

[electronfox]

@marioshrooming Went and double-checked; apparently the Gravity Fireball is from the G powerup. A is for Armor.

[IamAdamWafer]

I noticed that you hit the spikes in level 3 & didn't die. What's up with that? Are you using a Game Genie?

[pakman451]

VVVVVV 

[oxe161]

is this 16-bit? :)

[IamAdamWafer]

@oxe161 No, this was an 8-bit game made for the NES.

[theultrapixel]

@oxe161 nope. Believe it or not, its 8 bit

[ripelivejam]

PARALLAX SCROLLING OMG

[kevin12567]

@ripelivejam Yeah, I was thinking "How did they do that...The NES can't do parallax scrolling like that!" when I first played this game. Then I realized they used a clever programming trick in which the image in each background block is shifted 1 pixel to the right each time the background scrolls 2 pixels to the left (and vice-versa) to fake parallax scrolling.

[joseaca]

the animation is incredible

[monumentious]

Dammit I love video games.

[xerostar33]

Wow, this brings me back... last time I played this I must've been around 6 years old.

Around 2:16 it sounds like it's playing "Yeah!" by Usher...

[xatyt]

died at 5:40, cheated. Not even the A power up saves you from spikes, you either glitched or cheated.

[321cheeseman]

@xatyt

I just got through playing this game a few minutes ago.

Spikes are not instant death in this game, the power-up DOES save you.

That or I ran into the same "glitch" twice, myself.

[xatyt]

@321cheeseman Emulator or actual game? I played the actual game and it killer me instantly.

[321cheeseman]

@xatyt

You seem to be implying that the game plays completely differently on a cart than on an emulator.

Excuse me while I laugh at this ridiculous suggestion.

AHAHAHAHAHA!

Even assuming that it IS true that spikes are much worse on a cart, which makes no sense and is extremely unlikely, it still means nesrobot was NOT cheating like you originally claimed. Instead he just played a version of the game where spikes aren't insta-death.

[gsp2241]

are this and metal warriors on the snes connected in anyway?

[FLCLRVDFan]

I cannot beat the third boss for the life of me.

[reefy398]

@FLCLRVDFan that one is no so bad, wait until the last boss when u get there lol !

[FLCLRVDFan]

IF I get there.

[AhdDib]

Metal Storm owns you.

[DuuuuuhWhaaaa]

fifth boss is trhe farthest i have ever gotten. I haven't played this game in a few years either.  But I am sure that I can do the first three levels faster and better this this.

[ward7921]

THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE GAME!!! Just a quick tip, on the first boss you can stand just left or right on the bottom of the middle and be safe from harm attacking the boss.

[VaultBoy7]

This game was so awesome. This was by far my favorite run & gun on the NES.

[reptilekirby]

They definetly needs this on the virtual console!

[Sabin06]

oh I remember this game brings back good old memories oh i wish i could go back in time

[whitecollarcriminal]

This game should be REMADE. It would be presentable on the Wii but on 360 it would kick fuckin ass.

[ShirogitsuneInari]

I played this game all the time in my childhood, but I'd forgotten what it was called, and just now I've found it again. Ah, memories.

[PropellerBusted]

This game is both ugly and technically impressive at the same time.

[RegiMoep]

The Music in this Level kicks major butt and the game as much :P

[regretfulchild]

This is one of the best games ever. Its way under-appreciated

[paulhindt]

Hell yes. I haven't ever finished this game. You are right that the latter 3 levels are MUCH more difficult. When I took a chance and rented this game when I was like 13 I discovered a real gem.

[Aidsking]

Ahh, man, back when points really did matter, good times.

[Cypres1]

this games rules. I play the rom of it like all the time!

[realar]

What ever happened to IREM anyway?

[richi1173]

well, the last game that i played from them, which was a demo btw, was R-Type Final and it kicked ass. thats practically the last good game irem made in my opinion, and the one that got the most attention. it still exists though

[TheRipper999]

Dude in order to post shit like "No Death Run" YOU BETTER BE DOING IT ONT EH HARDEST DIFFICULTY. Normal? You gotta be joking me. I posted a vid of 3-2 on expert. Look at that. Thats not even that hard! Wait for stage 4 and beyond. It takes HOURS to finish minutes of gameplay at that difficulty...

[EricDaNerd]

This game does so many things right.  I love it!

[tamarockstar45]

a real lack of mastery here. not bad i guess

[nesrobot]

I thought I did fine :P Not as impressive as some NES videos, but, hell, its not like there are tons for Metal Storm, I just wanted to showcase a game I really enjoy.

[jasongamino]

"I just wanted to showcase a game I really enjoy."

WELL YOU DID BAD AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD!!!! lol. I'm fucking around with you. This game rules and I just pulled "Strider" out of my NES to throw in this gem.

[5tonyvvvv]

@nesrobot one of the best..next to power blade 2.bionic commando.batman.blaster master,rygar,,and so many others!!..lol

[Skankindragon1]

@tamarockstar45 If you can do better, post it and stfu. forget how NES games take a small amount of skill compared to your double analog Halo's?

[WolfenFuhrer]

Also I totally agree with the overlooking thing. I really wish this game was more well known. I'm only 15, But I got this game at a gerage sell and I loved it.

[WolfenFuhrer]

LOL you kill the second boss the same way I do.

[singedrac]

This was my favorite game back in the day. As far as brain-hurty goes it's basically the NES equivalent of Portal. :D

[jtplatinum]

this is a game that was WAY ahead of its time (like Gunstar Heroes). Even today I think about the catchy tunes!

[monumentious]

@jtplatinum completely agree. No school like the old school.

[Petfal]

WOW! I have never heard of that game. It looks pretty good. Liked the graphix and bosses. The gravity-thing was also cool.
