Yeah this is really exciting stuff here. I don’t think I’ve played the arcade version of this in a long long time. Fully looking forward to this. Jotego is the man.

Arcade version is awesome, you're in for a good weekend 💪

[@blaze2842]

Had this game on my Japanese MegaDrive/CD combo that i got on vacation in hong kong when i was 12 lol, im like 43 now and it's still a good game

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Sounds awesome. This game has aged especially well.

[@RetroRockGamer]

I've been waiting for Alient Storm. I love this one.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

It's definitely a favourite of mine too. Here's to a good weekend 😃

[@RetroTuna]

Great to have Alien Storm it is a beta at the moment and the sound is not correct yet, the graphics and gameplay seem right on. waiting on moonwalker, hamering away, desert breaker, D D crew and laser ghost if we can play it.

[@1murra]

One of my favorites from the arcade 🎉

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Right on 👍

Reminds me so much of alien syndrome from another perspective, great video buddy.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Good point, I always linked the fact that it's two games with Alien in the title, and the second word begins with S. Btw, thanks for the footage.

[@T200026]

@@PixelCherryNinja no worries, I did pull off the "special move" 😂 have a good weekend..

[@PixelCherryNinja]

@@T200026 executed well!

Always wanted a sequel too this

[@Fattydeposit]

I'm excited about this one too. I *never* saw this in coin-op form, never played it via software emulation (it was never really playable anyway on options I had available) and I never connected with the Mega Drive port. But as a huge Golden Axe and Altered Beast appreciator (mainly for the immaculate aesthetics those games have) I knew I've day I'd have to fully experience Alien Storm with zero compromises. Good times.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

From what I remember, the Mega Drive version was very good and faithful to the arcade. Either way, enjoy this version now.

[@Fattydeposit]

Finally played through Alien Storm and holy shit is it good. Dare I say it's Sega's most impressive brawler and the equal of Capcom and Konami's best. Betweens the humour, the blistering speed, fluid controls, quickly alternating play styles which eliminate monotony, Basketcase-esque freakozoid bosses and the dozens of hilarious sights gags and jokes throughout.. the game is a masterpiece IMO.

[@PixelCherryNinja]

@@Fattydeposit I'm glad you like it 😃

Alien Storm rulez

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Absolutely. Love this game.

[@Reprogrammed_By_SEGA]

I assume the three player version is supported? 🤔

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Yes it is, check the alts folder. I haven't personally tried it yet though.

[@drewba7741]

I've been confused as to why people have been hyping up the FPGA core release of this. I remember people disliking this when it got modern day rereleases. Then, I learned that I've been confusing this and Alien Syndrome. Whoops!

[@PixelCherryNinja]

Haha, I really would love for this to get a SoR4 style makeover. Add other Sega characters in there too, as unlockables.
