Metal Masters, Atari ST - Part 1 - Ain't Played In Ages

[blackbellamusic]

.. having said that I always liked this game.

What sucks amish bum in this game is the lack of grandiose. The robots seem almost miniature sized. They should've made the crowd more prevalent.

@blackbellamusic yeah I guess they are a bit small on the screen, but it's still pretty impressive given the hardware it was running on. It's pretty mindless bashing action but it's fun.

[slenkar]

they shoulda called it 'Giant Death Robots' gawdamnit

[JimPlaysGames]

@slenkar agreed. Or maybe Laser Explosion Mecha Happy Fun Time Kill. That's probably the Japanese title. They love giant killer robots. Then again, who doesn't? The Amish, that's who.

[slenkar]

@JimPlaysGames lol I bet the Amish secretly like giant robots

[JimPlaysGames]

@slenkar hehe yeah, they're only human.

Great video and commentary! I laughed hard at the 'kicking the metal shit out of each other'.

You forgot to the mention the infamous Rise of the Robots game which I spent a whopping £45 at Woolworths for the Mega Drive. Oh how I regretted it after the allure of the graphical niceness wore off!

[JimPlaysGames]

@ModernRelik thanks! Glad you liked it :D

Yeah I completely forgot about Rise of the Robots. I guess it was so traumatic I must have blocked it out of my memory. Maybe that game is the reason we haven't seen any robot-based fighting games since. No-one wants to invite the comparison.

[slenkar]

@ModernRelik you spent 45 quid on Rise of the Robots?? (faint)

[ModernRelik]

@slenkar I most certainly did! I was not happy 10yr old let me tell you!

However, a year later I spent the same amount on Ristar having only looked at the box and boy was that my best ever buy for Mega Drive. So that makes up for it a bit :)

Strange you mention Warbastard... never heard about them until a mate went to a thrash house party last week then raved constantly about them! lol Cool vids buddy. Keep it up :) Now I have you and Stevebenway to satisfy my yearning for retro games :D

[JimPlaysGames]

@cmdfarsight turns out there's more than one War Bastard :)

I've not heard of the band by that name. I heard it originally on an episode of the UK comedy Spaced, in which the characters participate in an underground Robot Wars tournament with a robot called War Bastard. That itself may have been a reference to the band. It's levels upon levels.

Also, thanks, glad you're enjoying the videos. For even more retro gaming, check out SteveBenway's recommended channels and his retro gaming directory.
