Let's Play - Sparkster (Megadrive) - Very Hard Mode - 01 - This was a terrible idea.

The few of you that actually subscribed and watched Ksorian's Sparkster playthrough, will noted how frustrated he got with the game.. and since it's been ages since i've played the game myself, I decided to play it again.

On the highest difficulty.
Yes i'm crazy.

Now, much of the difficulty i'm going to suffer is purely down to the fact that:
a) This is the highest difficulty level, and yes, it makes a huge difference. It's a Konami game. Konami are freaking sadistic.
b) This the first time i've attempted playing this difficulty level. This means the various changes to boss AI, increased damage, enemy spawns, and some stupid areas in Stage 5... will really throw me off.
and
c) The controller i'm playing with refuses to go forward. This isn't an issue when walking, as even a diagional will work... but.. using the rocket pack? Urgh. I confirmed the controllers crap when I intially tried to record Contra 3, so... waste of money then.

And because I promised in the video:

Soundtrack download ^ - that way you can listen to the music without sound effects and an annoying British git talking.

Infinitly respawning fireball breathing heads that take mutliple hits to kill, all whilst fighting them on a conveyor belt.

Wonderful stuff! 8D

Yeah Level 5 is a utter nightmare on this difficulty level.

I thought Sparkster was on the snes

[ACESpark]

There's three games in the series: Rocket Knight Adventures, Sparkster Megadrive, and Sparkster SNES. All three are completely seperate and different games.

This particularly one is the weakest of the series, but still a good game, if you exclude Stage 5....

[Treble120]

what wrong with stage 5

[ACESpark]

Well if you stay watching this playthrough, you'll soon see. :p

nice lp started to watch these cause ive only played the original and the new one

[ShyDeathKitten666]

Ahh... Your PS2 controllers are crap too eh? I know how you feel my trubo controller's joy sticks broke off in one week... 20 bucks wasted.

[MMZ4321]

I know how you feel ACE, when I got my Ps2 used from GAMESTOP, the controller only lasted for a few months, it kinda screwed up some episodes of my Megaman x8 lp (thats why I wasted $10 to buy "chameleon" controller from GAMESTOP, and it works PERFECTLY, plus its small and comfotable)

[OmegaCoolsterDX]

hmm you collect crystals that look like ruppies from Zelda games and all you get are bombs mmmmm "...Bombs, you want it, it's yours my Friend" xD
