Gemini Wing - Epic Failure

GEMINI WING (Tecmo 1987)

This is part of a superplay I did of this obscure arcade SHMUP. Reached the Insect Queen, which is the final boss of this game. It's a very drawn-out fight filled with cheap out-of-nowhere attacks. Ten minutes later in the final boss fight...oh, see for yourself.

Oh man, does that ever HURT... I've been there and back again in other games, Judge. Most notably, my EPIC DUEL with Cutman in that ROM hack I never intend to finish. Good times, good times...

Seeing this and other similar comments makes me feel not alone in experiencing embarrassing moments in gaming like this.

DOUBLE KO!!!! Ah references, you got to love them.

I've got one question to ask JS.

Why did you use Player 2. Did you like it's vehicle more?

[JudgeSpear2]

That's pretty much the reason. I like the red ship's design better than the 1P blue ship.

Wait im confused. So what happened exactly? i saw you get hit but how is this epic fail though

[JudgeSpear2]

This glitched up the ending sequence to the point that I cannot even enter my initials in the high-score table.

If you boys think that's bad, I also had a problem like that, twice actually! I once played Rocket Knight Adventures and both Sparkster and Axel Gear knocked eachother out of their mechas by a double-KO uppercut, so I lost a life and had to start all the way back from the start point again. Second was in Soul Calibur 3, I ended up killing Seung-Mina as a boss but also died in a double-kill, but still won that fight at least, lol!

UUUUUUGH i hate when that happens.. and yea its happened to me. lol but i havnt played this game.. it happened to me when i was playing pararalyzer and skyfre

[gillianx68000]

awesome!is a hard shooter,i remember play in commodore amiga 500 and several years later in sharp x68000 i love this game

[kwfine]

the boss of the last stage is really tough.

[foxmakeba]

Still let you have the ending though... ?? Nice one, dude.

[aeoluscombo]

actually the last boss will come down once and a while, just swing to its back and use fire pillar and spam shots, i think you can get it in about 2 minutes

[Jac2Mac]

Doesn't dying and killing the final boss at the same time result in the game crashing after the end credits?

[ttrixmixlixplixx]

good shoot ..!!
