Last Resort - Neo Geo MVS

One of the most expensive shooters for the AES (thank God for the multicart!) so lets have a look at how it plays.

It's probably been mentioned but if you press b you can lock your "ball thingy" in place which makes like MUCH easier. Also the little "S" pickups speed you up which can help but also can make it a bit hard to control if you speed up too much! It's a great game with a lot of layers. Just takes a bit of practice ^_^

@RetroRepair Yeah I had a lot of fun with it :)

Well done mate. This thing's absurdly hard...I just picked it up today on the PS2 SNK Selection, and managed to claw my way to stage 2's boss before deciding I'd had enough for the day. I know I keep banging on about it, but if you dig this, you will most likely enjoy Hellfire too. Very similar kind of thing, but with a bit more control.

Btw, picked up Gynoug after watching your video and have to say it's now my favourite MD shooter hands down. Cheers!

@zombified660 I love Gynoug, just at the right level of difficulty and something alluring about it as a shooter. Glad you picked it up :)

Are you trying to play at difficulty 8? Ouch! I know its somewhat of a pain to change it on multicarts but you can still. 8 is the default on there I think.

[Lorfarius]

Yep. This was before I realised you could change the difficulty settings :p

@Lorfarius I think it's cos it nails all the balances right. It gets you back in the action right away if you die, it penalises you a little but doesn't leave you standing with a peashooter like R-Type, and once you get the hang of a level, you can normally cane it reasonably well. It's a shame Last Resort doesn't spawn you straight back in when you die/continue. I would probably put it in my top 10 easily if it did. I'm getting better at it though lol. Stage 3!

[Lorfarius]

I think this is one of the rarer good games too.

very tough shooter but looks great

Thanks :) I thought it was related to Last Hope in some way, I thin kit's my age and dodgy memory LoL
