This game is gorgeous. I never heard of it. Thanks for the run.

[@silentdebugger]

I went back and tried playing this game myself and it is SO MUCH harder than he makes it look here. Props for a great run

[@amso7169]

Boco Corwin Ehh Gunstar heroes really isn’t that hard

[@LuizMGRamos]

This is one of the best game introduction and couch commentary in the history of GDQ. Pure awesomeness!

[@MegamanXGold]

If I had seen THIS game as a kid, I probably would've been sold on the Genesis.

[@amso7169]

Sadly, it was a Sega Channel exclusive here on North America but got a cartridge release everywhere else. So, if you lived in North America, there would have been a 0% chance you would have seen this anyways.

[@maxrichards5925]

Nice username. Sadly this got a physical release everywhere else except North America so the only way to play this on real hardware other than a good quality flash cart is to pay $300 for a PAL 50hz version which I would not recommend in an NTSC region & wouldn’t work on a genesis, or the Japanese release which is also the same but I’ve seen it go for $400 in some places

[@AlephFromTheSouth]

It came out in 1995 too, so it's not like it would save skyrocketed the console's popularity if it had a regular retail release

[@madson-web]

There's no games likes this elsewhere. So yeah

[@AuspexAstarte]

Greatest runner intro ever

[@Artenesama]

Never played, but it looks an outstanding game. Great run!

[@madson-web]

One of the best 16bit era game and my fav Sega Megadrive game

[@SuperKokuJin916]

The Asian Mega Drive Mini is getting this exclusively...AND Shining Force II. Best version by default!

[@pixelpawzgaming]

Originally there was gonna be 7 forms for 7th Force but they were cut unfortunately due to the harsh deadline the devs had at the time. Still the other 2 force names were Harpy Force and Nemesis Force.

[@lunatheluma3804]

I can see some gunstar heros in this game

[@IvanOdintsoff]

Same devs

[@tecrubio]

This game is not easy

[@hegyak]

Supereasy has Infinite Continues. Superhard, has no continues. That's the only difference. Same bosses and enemies and everything else.

[@MarioPawner]

@@hegyak Plus you can make the game run at slower speeds, which is a really underrated feature in general that I'd like to see in other games (besides Celeste)

[@shadez123]

@@hegyak I know this is 1 year old, but bosses are actually harder to kill too on Superhard. I remember timing out on some bosses because their health would go down more slowly

[@sleepyfox0316]

​@@hegyakI am aware I am late as hell, but small correction: Superhard gives you 3 continues. Also, Phoenix Force costs 50 health (on Supereasy it only costs 30), bosses have *slightly* more health (barely noticeable) and there are more "Health Up" items strewn about. Other than that, though, yes, it's the same thing.

[@marvin5895]

1st

[@carloschiriboga4078]

this game looks insanse! In my own head I would like to think this is like a prequel to Samus' story in Metroid and that bird guy is like a Chozo "hero" who squashed bad aliens in the old days.

[@Pillowcase]

This game is a work of art.

[@KevTheGalaxybender]

I see where cuphead got it's inspiration.

[@le-jaunemorgan6563]

OMG I remember playing this when I was 7. Never knew the name of the game but it was so cool. Thanks GDQ for bringing back memories! Never made it past the frog tho😂

[@leafypotatostyle]

Yay Alien Soldier :D
