Master System Longplay [020] Zillion II - The Tri Formation (FM)

http://www.longplays.org

Played By: T-0815

The Japanese Master System (1987) included a built-in accessory, an additional FM soundchip (Yamaha YM2413). This chip was only supported by certain games. I've decided for the FM version, because almost all other longplays on youtube show only the standard sound chip version.
I had some problems with the recording. The original game runs absolutely smooth with 50/60fps.

Round 01: 00:14
Round 02: 02:20
Round 03: 04:04
Round 04: 06:10
Round 05: 08:51
Round 06: 11:15
Round 07: 13:45
Round 08: 16:28

@ElevatingPirate AAAAAAH nice! Thanks for that bit of history, i didn't know that at all. Now i have to pursue a Japanese system for collection purposes LOL :)

[ElevatingPirate]

@ThatsMrTimex2You This is because its using the Yamaha YM2413 sound chip that only Japanese consoles had. :)

... I expect I shall have to provide a beating b/c your opinion is WRONG!11 :) lol

Prepare for a beatdown!11 Seriously the game just could've been put together a bit better. Even for master system, it's just really bland and samey. But yea.

@RainMan34 It was on the Sega Master System. What do you expect?

@StudioGuyMN

Compelling argument. The level design, however, is just piss poor.  It looks like the level designer got lazy in many areas and simply copy and pasted certain sequences of pits, jumps, enemies, etc as filler. It's incredibly unimaginative and doesn't look like the type of design that would be fun at all.

Btw, I apologize if you played this game when you were younger and since then haven't developed critical thinking skills, but this game looks bad, sounds bad and just smells

I remember thinking this game had some great visuals back in the 80's...and they're still impressive to a good degree today. I only wished then and I wish now that Sega had made this installment of Zillion as epic as the first adventure. When you beat the first Zillion, you felt like you really accomplished something. I came away from beating Zillion II thinking that Sega had rushed it. Oh well, this video brought back some pleasant memories. Thanks for posting it!

Oddly enough, this reminds me of Turrican, but made BEFORE that.
