It's a shame, it looks like it might have been quite fun if it had just a little bit more time in the oven 😊. Like you said, it really needed someone to thoroughly play test it before it was released. Also, don't you just LOVE prerendered graphics? 🙄

this one is weird - i think it's just not for me. i'm sure it must be well thought generally of or they wouldn't have re-released/ported it to modern consoles? I'm just a bit baffled by it and more than likely missing the point!

1998?! I didn't know it was released so late in the Saturn's life. This should have been made right at the start of the Saturn's release in 1994, along side all the other super scaler Arcade titles and perhaps it would have made a difference in the sales in the West!

Metal Slug is such a great game series. I don't know why they're making Metal Slug games today anything but a run and gun genre. It's insanity! What is your favorite Metal Slug game? And would you rather play Metal Slug or Gunstar Heroes?
@retrospiritsgaiden 3 күн бұрын
I like the original Metal Slug the most, it's actually 1CC-able and doesn't overstay it's welcome. 2,X and 3 are pretty damned nice. i've not played 4/5/6 enough to have a strong opinion on them, although i think 5 (pretty sure it was 5...) does have some nice new movement options (slide), and the dual wielding thing like Gunforce 2, so is interesting. I can actually 1CC Gunstar Heroes, because I played it loads back in the day, I was very close to 1CC on Saturn Metal Slug at one point, like fighting the final boss close, but never got over the line. Thats a tough question, MS or GH? GH or MS? It's actually really, really close but I'd probably go for the original MS!

Totally agree about the shitty graphics it looks very similar to Rastan Saga 2 but without the colours. I think this was a 90's phenomenon of graphics downgrades as Atari Games went from the glorius art of 720, APB and Toobin to the stomach churning thunder jaws. I'm still battling away on viper phase 1 so i'd like to see your thoughts on that one. Personally, i can't get any further than level 3 even though i've sunk 20 hours + into it.
@retrospiritsgaiden 12 күн бұрын
thinking about the evolution of games in the 70's and 80's, they started black and white, then we got colour, so i think companies went colour mad and made everything super saturated. by the time the 90's rolled around to make your game stand out you had to do something else, i think that's why we got digitised sprites and grim colour choices - it was different to what came before (but not as nice!) when we got actual textured 3d arcade games it sort of did the same thing - Daytona and Ridge Racer were super saturated, then things got a more muted palette as the decade went on. Sega definitely kept the vibrant look where it could (Dreamcast had some super colourful games) but thats not the direction the mainstream went in. It's nice to see the resurgence of colour in games through indie titles in the last few years.

A brilliant game and even now the intro and set pieces still give me goosebumps. I agree with you that it is distinctly Treasure but after seeing gradius 3 and 4 it was clear that Konami were unable to bring new life to the franchise. Unfortunately, i think that the pandering to bullet hell shoot em up experts killed the genre for most. However, with a bit of practice a normal person can finish the first loop on easy difficulty setting. Another shoot em up that oozes the coolness factor of Gradius V is Under Defeat by G.rev .It has recently had a re-release which includes new modes and DLC on the switch and ps4 and is available from Amazon Japan for £20. The UK release of it has been delayed but it's all in English anyway.
@retrospiritsgaiden 16 күн бұрын
Treasure definitely gave Gradius a needed kick up the rear with an injection of energy, the game still looks great, sounds great, and is smooth as butter to play. I did own Under Defeat on the DC when it first came out (but reasons meant i had to sell it....) it is a very cool game. I do still have the Xbox 360 release that came out a few years later - also cool. Great shout - it's definitely worth picking up if they ported it well.

It was a script. Time for them to step down and Sony to come to the front. Of course, I had no clue the AES/MVS game was mediocre when I bought it.
