Oh the memories, 30 years later I still remember the music and every section of this.......

[@eval_is_evil]

Such badass music when you decide to go in the open with "GO!" Man was this intense when I was a kid hahah

[@preplays1015]

Yes....me ,too .😂👍

[@maxmaker76]

The graphics at that time was incredible. We had no idea what will come!

[@skyphab]

Awesome! Same for me. I just „sang“ the melody to my girlfriend and she looked at me with disbelieve 🤣

[@syrus3k]

@@skyphab most badass game music of all time.

[@niceanddestroyed]

French videogame called "Opération Jupiter" or "Hostages" from 1988 by Infogrames. The game is inspired by techniques used in real life by the GIGN (Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale - Gendarmerie Nationale is a police force linked to the french army). It is an elite section especially trained for difficult missions, as counter terrorism or for free hostages. Original music is by Charles Callet (composer for North and South, Gobliiins, Ween The Prophecy etc.).

Rescue the embassy mission on Nes also

[@swampjajc]

2019 & I still love the music from this game

[@syrus3k]

I think this is the best game music ever. So badass imo it makes the game. Ever since I was a kid it stuck in my head, great to hear it again

[@syrus3k]

I'm actually trying to remake this tune myself.. it's so good.

[@oliverbentley8125]

This game was incredible. Especially because the last stage was in real time : bandits weren't static but were able to move themselves in each floor and even to go up and down the stairs!

[@azmodanpc]

1990 third person shooter.

[@realavt]

@@azmodanpc1988 :) It has first-person shooting too, in corridors of the building (at 5:15).

[@mrt7152]

This was really a cool game, still remember these sounds comming from my stereo Monitor. Hard to imagine that this just fitted on a single diskette. Man nostalgia for me right now.

[@charles_wipman]

This was my 1st tactical action game back in 1989, for my Amiga 500 with the 512kb memory expansion and the Kumana as DF:\1.

[@Spinnifuchs]

My favorite game back in the days...

[@AchtungBaby77]

The good ol' days where games could be completed in under 7 mins... lol!

[@Pulstreiber]

It took me 20 years to finish that shit

[@KrozMcD]

@@Pulstreiber I could never breach the windows! I couldn't figure out how lol

[@AndrewTSq]

today you get a 7 min introduction that is unskippable.. "press here" "jump here"

[@macmac19800]

Ha, znam tę grę, jeździłem z ojcem i bratem na giełdę komputerową w byłej Hucie Baildon w Katowicach... dzięki kolego za miłe wspomnienia :-)

[@MechAArma]

One of my best gaming experience , imagine back in 88 devs working on dynamical audio according to your placement on the screen .. almost unbelievable

[@BusyBasaz]

Easily one of the coolest and most unique games ever made. The music, art and gameplay was something else. *Go!*

[@spacecowboy2483]

I played this game in my 8086 pc xt with a hercules monochrome display. Today it may look simple, but back in the day It was awesome, best game I ever played at the time.

[@ardmichielsen2977]

The game was quite easy to play, but got never bored. Good memories!

[@TL....]

i've been looking for this game for years never knew the name, played it once in the 90s while visiting someone with my mom that was my mothers friend and her son had it

[@bulbasaurbrutal5137]

Played so many Amiga games. Never even heard of this growing up.

[@TheRogueMonk]

this game has more features then most modern game.

[@bwuh]

"Go."

[@davidsmith6997]

known as Rescue: the embassy mission on NES

[@groovechampion1462]

Man! whata trip! i loved this game as a kid back in the 80´s.

[@simoncollett4524]

*LOVED* this game!!

[@dennismeinert6101]

My first shooter. Such a game like this has been put into PS4. I love the Soundtrack.

[@Nagai1989]

The death scream is hilarious 🤣

[@xxxaragon]

This seems like the kind of game that would hardly ever be made today, with those 3 stages pretty much each having a completely different gameplay than the others. crazy!

[@pablocorleone4880]

that game was one of my first experiences on the nes

[@spearPYN]

Late 80's pixel art was so realistic, yet still 16-bit in essence. I love that shit!

[@spearPYN]

Requiem4aDr3Am From Wikipedia: Pixel art is a form of digital art, created through the use of software, where images are edited on the pixel level. The aesthetic for this kind of graphics comes from 8-bit and 16-bit computers.

[@spearPYN]

Requiem4aDr3Am There is always someone on the Internet who questions Wikipedia.. Actually I am a programmer, started on Atari 8-bit in the 80s so I know what is a pixel art and it is not a misnomer lol.

[@frankbeans5921]

I have older brothers so I grew playing their games. Always remembered playing the Amiga but never finished any of the games. I was only about 5 or 6 years old though.

[@heador2]

Such a nostalgic and legandary game

[@19aries81]

I loved this game as a kid but never got to the but where you shot the terrorists, found it so hard

[@estadodeidiotezcompartida]

When you think of it this game was one, if not the first stealth action game, and maybe 1st person shooter too!! And if you're an Amiga old timer...tell me if hunter isn't the first sand box game ever!

[@jaysmith2858]

That honour goes to 'Elite'.

[@fandangobrandango7864]

First stealth action game goes to metal gear, first first person shooter goes to monster maze, first sandbox goes to elite.

[@catlikepizzagaming8280]

Loved this game

[@Perplexer1]

I loved this game!

[@azmodanpc]

The third section was thrilling and really adrenaline fuel.

[@GameplayandTalk]

Oh wow, so this is what Rescue: The Embassy Mission was derived from? Interesting!

[@PeterParkerduGlobe]

Excellent !!

[@guybrushthreepwood1212]

Nice Amiga500 Game

[@jvictortorreblanca]

Awesome game and soundtrack

[@rhyssmells1]

I like how it's set up in to 3 minigames like in Savage.

[@dionisio89420]

Outstanding Game indeed!

[@cyrillobaggins8789]

memories... those fuckin spotlights :/

[@bigman9686]

I had this game as a kid

[@manuyeclar]

Fantastic Game!. Great music with volumen changing when you are hiding. 06:22 the player no get hit for a bug or something?

[@RockNlRolla]

I loved this game

[@fleafriend]

Ol' "Spray 'n Pray" Hotel.

[@stefanl5085]

Das hatte ich auch. Super Spiel..

[@TheAxelay]

I was more unto the NES version here but damn that PC/Amiga sure is a nice version though. Stellar stuff for 1988, sure wish I could've tried it out back then but I was only ever playing Bad Dude/Dragon Ninja sigh...

[@danilob766]

3:32 the same dying scream was used for Drakkhen

[@nukecorruption]

this is the fucking game I've been looking for years and I always thought its' name was "SWAT" or something. finally found it!

[@baden1977]

este juego lo tuve en la nes

[@anttisairanen6766]

I hope that Hot Club is still operational. One day....

[@nh3100]

❤️❤️❤️

[@peterpereira3653]

Had this game on the Atari ST.

[@FhargaZ]

I tried on the Amiga but when exiting a hidding palce you get shot immediately, even when the search light is pretty far away.

[@realavt]

On real Amiga? Emulator WinUAE for many years had a bug, that prevented playing Hostages - but they fixed it at last, recently.

[@TheRogueMonk]

better then CS GO

[@Phishkisses]

Had no idea this game was on any other system besides the NES

[@Largeframe2011]

I feel in 1988 🤩

[@missingcat9293]

Go!!!!

[@twentyroarsloud]

Dunno, is it really a longplay when you didn't even get Echo or Mike to the sniper spots on the west and north sides of the embassy? I played Rescue on the NES a lot, this game was more about replayability and beating your times from the previous run. Ah, the memories.

[@azmodanpc]

I guess he was trying to save time in the following two sections, putting all the snipers in place at that level of difficulty requires a little more time to complete the phase. I'd rather spend the time clearing the rooms in the third section.

[@datbigdude490]

Is this their version of Rescue from the NES?

[@JagofTroy]

Yes, and it's superior to the NES version IMO.

[@datbigdude490]

I can see that, Especially the levels and music are enhanced than the original

[@spelkult]

Jerry Davis Jr : Hostages is actually the original from 1988. Rescue was created afterwards.

[@d_vibe-swe]

Memories.. But this game couldn't have used the Amiga 500s full graphics capacity? Probably exactly the same graphics as on the Atari ST version (16 colours instead of 32 ones)..

[@batlin]

Yeah this looks very like the ST version which I played a few times as a kid. Game never really grew on me tho.

[@I_Stern]

Tried to play it back then. Didn't get it at all lol.

[@jaysmith2858]

I prefer the music on the Atari ST. It fits in better with the atmosphere the game is trying to portray.

[@BlueSummers101]

Go............Go.......Go.........Go........Go..Go..Go.......Ahh.......Ahh..Ahh. Well the makers of this game didn't need to spend much money on voice actors XD

[@e3ovuziotica]

under 7 minutes... not really a LONGplay, but game through still :D

[@shan2752]

Delta, Echo, and MIKE! Why the heck didn’t’ MIKE get a code name.

[@jaysmith2858]

He forgot to get a round in when they were last at the pub.

[@figment1988]

Mike is part of the phonetic alphabet

[@tranzorz6293]

fond memories of Hostages but the quality of the game drops significantly as the levels progress.

[@nietwojinteres7278]

Looks quite similar to Alcatraz

[@sir_john_hammond]

Where's Jumbo.

[@professorpenne9962]

GO

[@pavelsuxacev6393]

Rainbow six XD))))

[@movielover4244]

Hade it on Nintendo

[@ArttuTheCat]

I had this game on my Commodore 64 (tape version) and Amiga 500. Also, i had it on my 8-bit Nintendo, known as RESCUE. I still own the original Commodore 64 and Amiga 500 computers + games 😺👍🕹️.

For 1988 those are good.

@@KrisPREMIER 512 KB ... without memory Extension. ;-)

[@TheAxelay]

No way, the graphics are stylish, reel you in and are atmospheric. The game is a work of art considering it was the 1st of it's type back in the late 1980's.

[@realavt]

This is the best version of the game, it gets much worse on other systems.
