Blazing Lazers (TurboGrafx 16) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

[@sinister184]

Still one of my favorites. Glad I was one the few who had a Turbo 16.

[@carloscarabello7931]

Same here

[@johngavalas712]

Me too!

ONE OF THE BEST GAMES ON THIS SYSTEM ALONG WITH KEITH COURAGE AND LEGENDARY AXE. TERRIFIC GAME AND SOUNDTRACK!!!!

[@michaelstroman6759]

I so like agree!!!☻☻☻

[@531cuk]

Agreed

[@jpablo700]

Agree. I would add Ys Book I and II along with Military Madness

[@MultiJamesman]

@@jpablo700 Military Madness was the gem of the system and of the age of gaming as well. Still great.

[@jpablo700]

@@MultiJamesman change of topic to SNES. Curious if you played Metal Marines, and if you liked that game, too.

[@NintendoComplete]

Kanye's announcement of his new album's title and his favorite game made it seem like a good time to upload this gem and system seller. This is absolutely head and shoulders above anything else you could play at home in 1989. Blazing Lazers marked the TG16 as the shoot 'em up fan's "go-to" system - a distinction that the Turbo carried through most of its life, even when put against the SNES and the Genesis.

[@AssociationAdmirer]

Why did you upload a playthrough for this game twice, though?

[@thanos9909]

One of the best shooters of the 16-bit era. Fantastic game.

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

Hated this game forgot the whole thing except the big-ass Bubbles.

[@letsgonow5641]

@@worsethanhitlerpt.2539 I absolutely loved this game.

[@MYDOGBUD]

One of my top 3 from Turbo..got my system in 89..had 300 games , upgrade hardware and the CD plug in system...sold it back in 06 as a collection and made all my $ back, now I have the mini and experience this all over again in 2023..

[@jamesmoss3424]

The game is 110% kick ass and the music is a work of art. 😀👍🎮

[@artemusprine]

That music was so next-gen the first time I heard it. Still sounds great.

[@jamesmoss3424]

@@artemusprine I agree with you. 😀👍🎮

[@PlasmaSnake369]

The sound chip on the PC Engine kinda shits on the Genesis when it comes to drums and bass.

[@megatron8461]

Ah, the supersonic blueprint of the this shoot-em-up incarnate. Lasers are truly the coolest!

[@joeyjo-joshabadu9636]

I love how this game is from 1989 and already has enemies that look like the B-2 Bomber!

[@juliusray4519]

My childhood... T_T... thank you for the videos!!!!!

[@rockybudgeboa]

I miss this game. LOVED it so much.

[@cogito451]

This is the only game that I've ever played that has made me dread getting a power-up. That IV is a real pos.

[@AlchemistTongueDrums]

Yep. Classic Compile. Gotta dodge powerups just as much as bullets lol.

[@carloscarabello7931]

IV--aka Ring Blaster--is a great Offense-Defense combo when you have either the Shield, Full Fire (at your own risk), or especially Homing Missiles. I try to keep Ring Blaster or Field Thunder as much as possible

[@hyvll]

​@@carloscarabello7931 I was more a fully loaded 2 with shield.

[@smaybius]

Four means death in east Asia, and that powerup showed it

[@w1ze07513]

One of first few games that attributed to my childhood. This remains awesome. I appreciate the soundtrack more compared to what was being developed at that time.

[@Antonio_NetoH]

Legendary soundtrack!!!

[@mohammedbinazeez1526]

such a legend this was. my fav was FULL FIRE ..Music is just wow

[@Rowiethemelon]

This is one of the best games in my opinion for the turbografx 16 can't wait to play it on my rasbery pi!

[@jakelong1205]

Cool 😎 always wanted this console and this game reminds me of Alpha mission 2 for the Neo-Geo

[@cyrax1700]

6:30....the art of fighting without fighting 👍

[@ChairmanMeow1]

Yep that's an old school trick. If you leave that Boss alone, and don't die you get a bunch of extra lives

[@lucasnassar2778]

​@@ChairmanMeow1 Which gives soon a "pacifist boss%" speedrun category,you might split only in mini bosses except.the area 9(plates,lady and the ship)

[@recieve.believe3344]

I remember having this game as a kid! I have no clue to what happened to my Turbo Graphics 16!

[@letsgonow5641]

I sold mines about 12 years ago when i was in a financial pinch....):

[@alexandermichelotti9069]

The music on Stage 8 is pure genius

[@Bloodreign1]

The way those powerups come onscreen, kind of reminds you of a Compile shmup.

[@fairport420]

it should, its from compile

[@Sinn0100]

Can I just say that I love this game. It was a launch game for the TG-16 and one of the very best. Blazing Lazers should have been the pack-in game and not Kieth Courage in Alpha Zones...or even better both should have made it in. That may have just been enough to sway many of us who decided not to go with the TG-16 at launch (or at all). Blazing Lazers had incredible graphics, and the music is unlike any other game before it. It definitely deserves to be seen as one of the best shmup's ever made. It took a very long time before another game really upstaged it. It's definitely on par with Thunder Force I-III.

[@party4keeps28]

That damn bubble level used to eat up all my lives.

[@greenchilaquiles]

Lol the plucked guitar sound on the lead melodies just straight up moving between duty cycles on the waveform

[@skykitchen867]

I love my Turbo Duo, it still gets a lot of use.

[@FlavourFool]

This music is absolutely banging.

[@smaybius]

Looks lulzy to wait around the boss without shooting, but then the surge in lives once the boss gave up gave it all the validity

[@artemusprine]

A classic.

[@alimohammedabd]

I downloaded this game on the Wii store about 14 years ago. I'm looking at this so I can learn how to try finish the game. Its hard.

[@ades5305]

Where i can buy turbograftx. I miss it

[@whitelikejesus]

Geez dude, when you have no purple shield, it makes no sense to avoid the multibody powerup.

[@expandranon]

I never figured it out back when I had the game. What is that Select A/B bit at the end? As far as I could tell, it didn't do anything.

[@ccaranfa5]

At the end of the turbo graphix game if you watched the credits and let it sit for a few minutes a code popped up does anyone remember the code and what it unlocked ? I think I messed it up everytime I tried to punch it in.

[@OwenWilliams0]

I think it unlocks the "hard human" difficulty mode

[@michaelstroman6759]

Great game!!

[@johngavalas712]

Im currently at level 3 its frustrating to say the least

[@samuelcarrasquillo4590]

GUNHED With Love And Courage.

[@craigoutdoors30]

Loved this game

[@KesoUBEkerisik]

Can get ahead of stage 7.. those sprinklers and falling slabs are a pain..

[@zamakaleybirmingham]

I still have this game is it worth anything?

[@Sinn0100]

Blazing Lazers is one of the very best game TG-16 games ever made. Had it been included with the TG-16 instead of Kieth Courage...who knows?

[@jasonbrown5100]

It actually is called Gunhed in the original Japanese release. They removed all the Gunhed references for the North American release which makes me want to see a playthrough of the original game version.

[@Seth-nt9bf]

Gunhed is exactly the same as Blazing Lazers.

[@ChairmanMeow1]

What's everyone's favorite weapon? Hard to not pick the III laser

[@hyvll]

Number 3 until 4 straight lines and then number 2

[@lucasnassar2778]

Question:Can you choose to be pacifist with all bosses?If so what happens to life and bombs?

[@juliennnnnngder335]

Stage 2’s music 🤤

[@MrJoManFu]

One of the dumbest decisions of NEC was not making this a pack in title when this console launched in NA. Instead they put Keith Courage.

[@mohammedbinazeez1526]

Anyone help me how to play this in 2022

[@johngavalas712]

13 million points wow

[@DigitalSmokeStudiosOfficial]

Great job man, I’m still trying to make it past area 7!

[@AlchemistTongueDrums]

How's it going? I can limp past 7 and 8 put without full power at 9 I get destroyed.

[@DigitalSmokeStudiosOfficial]

I have finally made it to level 8. Those tricky bubbles are my nemesis.

[@AlchemistTongueDrums]

@@DigitalSmokeStudiosOfficial Yeah, I find the 8 way secret shot combined with IV and F and to be very effective on stages 3-7, but the bubbles fuck me over and leave me underpowered for 9 with its BS checkpoints. Argh.

[@AlchemistTongueDrums]

@@holidayinn4293 I finally 1cc'd this game a few days after that post. I ended up not bothering with the 8 way. I primarily used the laser and spreadshots with shield. The trick for me to survive through 9 was to collect all the flashing orbs that I could. You get those by shooting the alternating weapon or powerup orbs until they flash. Each one you get in addition to clearing the screen also turns your ship stock thing gold, meaning each one lets you avoid a check point. I survived with almost no deaths to stage 9 and when things went south near the end I had enough continues saved up to just bomb through and use all my excess lives while picking up any powerups I could. It was a scrappy clear but it worked lol.

[@halwakka504]

The 8 way shot combined with homing missiles is very effective later on. A lot of people don't seem to realize that homing missiles also upgrade with purple gels so that they shoot as fast as type I shots, turn on a dime and do a decent amount of damage, and you get 8 of 'em with the Type I weapon. Best part of all is they don't downgrade like main weapons if you get hit, they stay at their max level which can make a HUGE difference in later levels where you're likely to be hit from time to time, losing primary weapon levels.

[@MrSkipRogers]

B-But you are NINTENDO COMPLETE, not Turbo Graphics 16 complete! :O

[@NintendoComplete]

Well, since Hudson was a vital part of both machines, it counts still, right? ;)

[@MrSkipRogers]

I can guess I can let it slide! XD

[@michaelstroman5213]

Turbo Grafx 16 isn't even 16 bits it has an 8 bit processor. It is definitely by far the most powerful 8 bit system . Blazing Lazers was a great game!

[@RWL2012]

It has a 16-bit data bus and 16-bit graphics chips, but an 8-bit CPU.

[@darkeness123]

Ci sto giocando bello 😁

[@seyronabbott6001]

I've always had a theory that FIELD THUNDER - FULL FIRED ....was hate. As in a weapon that fires focused, pure, 💯%, unfiltered, HATE and viciously devours any and everything...but you. 🤣

[@lailanitaganap2402]

Has anybody beat this game with the code to unlock hard mode and extra hard? Blazing Lazers to me is a 10 when it first came out.

[@halwakka504]

Yea Blazing Lazers was def a 10. Each time you finish the game, it restarts you at level 1 on the next difficulty level; I've gotten almost halfway through the third difficulty . I've used the cheat code to try the fourth level of difficulty (I thik it's called God of Game?) but I've never gotten past level 2, it's ridiculously hard.

[@dedli_midi]

is bro saying "oh my god" lmao

[@ronaldbossio8922]

Pasar la primera area sin pelear con el boss no me parese la mejor forma de cometzar nada como la adrenalina de pensar que te vanxa matar o que no vasxa poder superar el nivel😂😂😂

[@HappyMealBieber]

i like how the final boss is some giant woman in a dress. like they just could not decide what to do as an End Boss or somehting. lol. wtf. just seems kinda random

[@modelcitizen1977]

The soundtrack is unbeatable, but most of the bosses, while well designed visually, were not very challenging at all. Slow moving and firing every few seconds. Cuphead, this ain’t.
