Guardo muy buenos recuerdos de este juego en la Game Gear, no tenía ni idea de que existieran tantas versiones. Genial vídeo.

[@retrosutra]

+McClane-47 me alegro mucho de que te guste. Yo no jugué a la versión de Game Gear hasta hacer el vídeo pero me ha sorprendido gratamente.

[@ryzmaker11]

X68000 and Game Gear for me :)

Unless you guys had one of the above mentioned computer systems back in the day, the best all-around home console version to own was arguably the NES port... I especially loved the way how they designed the box and artwork on the NES cartridge of this game, it look really cool and stood out from the rest of the games in my NES game collection!

Me at the Amiga version: Not what I was expecting but okay..? Me at the Atari ST version: This is the same as the Amiga version but with chiptune music and the quality of the digitized speech is worse. Me at the MS-DOS version: WHAT IS DIS!? THE FRAME RATE IS CHOPPY, THERE’S NO MUSIC AND THE QUALITY OF THE DIGITIZED SPEECH IS EVEN WORSE!! Me at the Sharp X68000 version: Oh wow :D This one is pretty darn close to the arcade, the graphics and animations are nearly identical, the digitized speech sounds more clear, and the music is pretty good. Me at the Commodore 64 version: This one’s alright for what it is, I mean c’mon, it’s Commodore 64, so it’s acceptable. Me at the Amstrad CPC version: (speechless) Me at the ZX Spectrum version: (chuckles) Me at the MSX version: W H A T I S D I S Me at the Sega Master System version: Thanks for the disappointment Sega. Me at the Sega GameGear version: Thi - this...is WHAT THE SEGA MASTER SYSTEM VERSION SHOULD’VE BEEN!!! Me at the NES version: This one is surprisingly a good arcade port :)

The Spectrum version could have been worse, but seriously? Isn't the MSX supposed to be more powerful? Why did it get a WORSE Spectrum port?

[@SpeccyHorace]

Spectrum version is quite fun to play.

[@darkfalzx]

@@SpeccyHorace Like most Speccy ports - they look and sound like arse, but actually play pretty well.

[@slicknickxp]

Many years ago I played the NES version and I like the NES version.

[@ryandiggs750]

The arcade version and the NES version is the best

[@OtomoTenzi]

The NES version was even better than the SMS version!

[@Shinobi_Kun77]

C64 - There are actually two versions. There's the one in the video where you get close to the edge of the screen, it scrolls so you're back in the center and then you do it over again. There's another version where the screen doesn't scroll until you get close to the edge, but once it starts, it keeps scrolling until you stop moving. Both versions make it harder than it should be because you're so close to the edge that you end up running into aliens before you can see them. The C64 had hardware scrolling, so there's no excuse for this. Amiga - It could have looked so much better, but I could live with the cut-down graphics. Unfortunately it has scrolling almost as bad as on the C64 and they left out two of the levels, presumably to make it fit on one floppy disk. I finished this back then.

Let’s Compare Alien Syndrome 1: Arcade 2: Amiga 3: Atari St 4: Ms-Dos 5: Sharp X68000 6: Commodore 64 7: Amstrad Cpc 8: Zx Spectrum 9: Msx 10:Master System 11: Game Gear 12: NES

[@user-fc5hu7uw8u]

X68000のボスが違うのは国内エイリアンシンドロームの移植だから(日本国内バージョンのAC版は肉団子が1ボス) それ以外は海外版標準…というか海外AC版って要救助者全員助けなくてもGoto指示出るのか…

[@MichalBergseth-AmitopiaTV]

The problem with Amiga is that people didn't know its powers. Commodore revealed almost nothing so it was up to the devs how the result became. In reality, the Amiga chipset was more than meets the eye at that time. Only today devs start to reveal what Amiga can do. Here is Reshoot R for AGA Amigas from 2019, kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHqpgoaPjLx4lc0 Time Gal (LaserDisc, MegaCD port), kzbin.info/www/bejne/npvFY3uGnquLgM0 and the OCS Amiga fighter that should have been released back in the '90s, kzbin.info/www/bejne/op3MnWmaotN7gMk Metro Siege is coming for all OCS Amigas and up with 1MB of RAM. Now this port aint the worst but Amiga could do parallax scrolling as X68000 could. Just that the knowledge of how was limited at that time.

[@Supermann64]

Great Channel,this is the 3rd Video i watch in a row now. Maybe do a Barbarian or Arkanoid Comparision that would be cool. :)

[@Tombofcheeks]

29:04 is were i left off

[@DJQ798]

One of the best coop games classic

[@smof1]

I had the master system one and that isnt what the music sounded like

[@indoguju]

Sega master for me first game I ever played!

[@carbonara2144]

Have been playing the sms version a bit and wanted to see how the other versions are. Its so easy to die by mistake using sms pad.

[@auramaster8763]

I was wondering what the aliens were, because with NES graphics they didn't look like worms.

[@OtomoTenzi]

The graphics were totally redrawn for the NES version... While they lacked color, it still looks pretty decent and animates OK for an 8-bit home console version!

[@DavidKimFX]

Sharp X68000 is best.

[@felipes.carvalho8790]

NES version the bast

[@ryandiggs750]

And so is the arcade version

[@AmigaVR]

Psp version but the game gear version looks awesome.

[@MrVariant]

No psp/wii version? Oh just read description, different versions in the mid 80's.

[@nutmatical1042]

Nes version is unofficial or made by Sunsoft

Order of goodness: Arcade, Sharp X68000, NES, C64. this is all. Amiga could have been good, but it's a poor conversion for the Amiga's capabilities.

[@TheAxelay]

Just got back into this game, Sega Master System version for me as it was the first version I played as a k8d back in 1989. But I like them all. The 2007 version?! Hmmmn....

[@whobitmyname]

I've never seen so many ports come up with so many different versions of the same boss. Imho, Master System had the best bosses.

[@ianbrooke9313]

You do not like the master system and game gear versions

[@BlueFireZ88]

It's sad that the NES version is more faithful to the arcade version than the Master System is. You'd think Sega would do their own game justice.

[@Shinobi_Kun77]

Just like Shinobi 🥷, the Shinobi music on NES is just like the arcade

[@JudgmentStorm]

Amiga version has a bit of a camera problem and the scrolling is a bit jerky. It's missing arcade stages 4 and 5. C64 is actually better playing than Amiga- no jerky scrolling, and it has the levels/bosses that are omitted from the Amiga one. Difficulty is somewhat higher than the arcade... YMMV. At least in 1P mode, the arcade version keeps the player in the center of the screen. X68000 is just about perfect. SMS version isn't so good... the flip-screen scrolling ruins it. Why couldn't it be more like the Game Gear?

[@OtomoTenzi]

And add to the disappointing fact, that the GG version is only 1 meg while the SMS version is on a 2 meg cart...

A versao de game gear e master system ficaram muito superiores a versao do Nes. Nao existem versao de game boy?
