"Guys; We need to make a game like Gradius, using nothing but hard work and our legendary design skills...and the tiniest hint of LSD"

[@SomeOrangeCat]

I didn't think there was *that* much cocaine in all of Japan to get something like this made.

[@BurritoKingdom]

Not coke. Booze and no sleep. Working 60+ hours a week. In the 90s in Japan you basically stayed at the office all day than went drinking with your coworkers than worked another 12+ hours the next day.

[@SomeOrangeCat]

@@BurritoKingdom Yeah. That'd make me go insane too.

[@CJinMono]

​@@BurritoKingdom Don't forget the BOSS coffee lol

[@hardkoregamer1981]

This is what a drug induced fever dream would look like in video game form! 😆

[@SomeOrangeCat]

Propane. Not even once.

[@MadsonOnTheWeb]

The finest form of art

[@x-crisis]

Weird the energy beams have transparency on the Saturn but not on the Playstation that could do it properly without dithering.

[@ironhell813]

It’s was 1995…. Maybe the devs didn’t know how to do the hardware transparency? Dithering wouldave been easier, cause it’s all software. And Saturn does have hardware transparencies but sega refused to share the sgl libraries that had it. Only a small number of mostly sega made games used it.

[@praystation]

It's was? ​@@ironhell813

[@timkasansky2528]

japanese market for sure is strange.

[@ironhell813]

Biggest market on earth for porn.

[@parazels83]

Who bought it for $60 in 1996?

[@BurritoKingdom]

This is actually a sequel. So the question is how did the first game sell so much in 1992 to warrant this game?

[@rensou82]

And there is a sequel for PSP too.

[@michaelc5217]

the waves of the sea in the last stage is not animated in the PSX version

[@mikemels316]

What did I just watch? This is the most weirdest game I have ever seen in both Sega Saturn and Playstation. I remember, there is also a weirdest game in Super Nintendo. That is a "Hong Kong '97" 🤣🤣🤣

[@SomeOrangeCat]

Propane is a helluva drug.

[@Lightblue2222]

Neat lil differences

[@Ai14106]

The perfect game for June

[@WhatIsMatter101]

Nah. This was made to illicit laugh. The other was to illicit disgust.

[@n64fan60]

Which one is weirder, though?

[@Lightblue2222]

Is the intro fmv or is that the hardware working 💪 hehe

[@jsr734]

I think is an fmv on both.

[@Versatil-1980]

Que juego más estimulante... !Me gusta! ;)

[@juarezmiranda]

Super Irmãozinho.

Que game louco! 😂

[@SaminPK]

Masculanity at its very best!!

[@biglui]

Bizarrice... Devia ter um anime disso aí! 😆

deve ter, eles atualmente fazem uma aparição em Langrisser

[@KassyusKass]

Eles fazem aparição em Langrisser desde Langrisser 2

[@JohnCharb87]

Stage 1: The Saturn version is missing foreground buildings found in the Playstation version. Stage 2: The floor line scrolling is different among the versions. More "Pose Columns" and background cloud lightning in Saturn's Background. Stage 3: The Saturn version features a metal ground platform missing in the Playstation version. But the Saturn version is missing background elements. Stage 4: Descending into the cave on the Playstation version has smoother vertical scrolling. Also the frog snail's tounge looks more realistic. Stage 5: The Saturn version has wave animations missing in the Playstation version.

[@Lightblue2222]

10:15 ... Saturn they are balled, ps1 they have hair.

[@bizarroeddie1]

Saturn also has this layer of buildings on the foreground, but they can be destroyed and he's destroying every single one.

[@jsr734]

Also on Stage 5: The Playstation version has an extra background layer with the sky and clouds, missing on the Saturn.

[@WildMalboro]

Eu literalmente tinha esse jogo no meu Saturn... Quando comprei o meu ja tinha PS2 então paguei bem baratinho no meu Saturn com uma PORRADA de jogos... E esse era um deles... E eu terminei varias vezes saporra... Jogava so pela zuera mesmo... Mas que dei varias risadas isso eu dei!!

[@retromoderngames]

A 2 fase, no Saturn, fazendo claro uso do VDP 2 nas nuvens ao fundo...

[@romilson_007]

Muito bizarro! 😮

[@renatogois5966]

No último cenário q é na praia o Saturn tem animações na água no PlayStation o mar não tem animações valeu.

[@evansimmons-brusick5659]

What am I watching?!

[@RAFAKSBR]

In Brazil Cho Aniki is very popular.

[@DDRmails]

WHY IT EXIST?

[@BurritoKingdom]

Because the 1st game on the PC Engine sold well enough to warrant a sequel. 😂 There's also a fighting game spin off on the Super Famicom and another sequel on the PS2

[@M3troid.]

quem fez esse jogo tava altamente chapado

[@Devilhelll]

Jogo bizarro, mas as cores e paralax no saturno estão mais bonitos.

[@Punkski]

I don't know why but this entire series should of used the live action look.

[@probablyjinxed]

okay this has gotta be fuckin weird even by japanese standards 😭

[@iwanttocomplain]

Looking closely on the UI bar, the Saturn is running in a higher, I suspect 1:1 pixel aspect resolution.

[@jsr734]

I cannot tell for sure, but just lookign at this, i would guess that the Saturn is displaying 320x224 and the Playstation at 320x240. But i´m not sure.

[@Jerryjoe-lh3qc]

On second satage, Saturn has one less parallax layer.

[@XcN3Retrogameplays]

cuanta droga debio meterse el creador de este juego... mi madre!

[@RetroArcadeGuy]

Whatever this genre of game is, needs a come back lol

[@statiz23]

Hardcore Japanese mushroom heavily consumed these game developers 🤣👍

[@KaliU-ix2kf]

SS❤

[@zendher]

Quem idealizou este jogo estava com bem mais de 40 gramas...

[@elautenticoygenuino]

Playstation is the original version. Saturn was created a year later with extras

[@yoshi_da_nenelandia_CE]

Bizarre........... and third like

[@BeamerTime354]

WTH did I just watch 🤣

[@nathleflutiste]

I don't know what I just watched. Did people really had fun playing this "thing" ?

[@Pavvzz]

Believe it or not, it is a very fun Shoot em Up and if you play it with another person even more, there will be no shortage of laughs and it is quite demanding in its progression

[@LoGatoGameplays40]

Jogo muito bizarro kkkkkkkk 🤣

[@megabyteDeSu.]

Saturn Wins!!!

[@ricardonunes838]

só entrei pra comentar q eu não quero nem saber qual é a melhor versão dessa porcaria !!!

[@moxty2795]

Not This Game 💀💀

[@biglui]

😂

[@michaelkelly3501]

Ummmm what? LOL

[@Ifalvarado]

They were so high on coke that making Saturn games look good was nothing to them!

[@rds202]

Não importa a versão, esse jogo será ruim em qualquer console

[@hababacon]

Odd game, not sure mesh transparency was needed with the Saturn version. Other than that, about a draw, nothing really impressed me or stood out about this title.

[@Pavvzz]

If you use the two Saturn VDPs it would not be necessary to make the transparency by mesh, since with the VDP2 you can make the real transparency, now as for PlayStarion there are textures that cannot be given transparency of any kind if they are not mounted on a polygons, so in the end it depends a lot on how the game is put together, PlayStation may lose all types of transparency, and Saturn will be limited to mesh or real transparency.

[@LouisBee]

The Saturn version has more complex parallax scrolling on the background layers, with better animation and detail, compared to PlayStation.

[@jsr734]

It seems the Saturn version was released on 1996 and the Playstation version was 1995, so i think they decided to add extra stuff to the Saturn version. Also, sometimes the Saturn is missing some background layers from the Playstation, just look at stage 5, and other times the Saturn version has more background layers, so it seems very inconsistent.

[@crestofhonor2349]

@@jsr734 I doubt that's the reason for all the changes. The Saturn was known to be better at 2D than PlayStation hence all of it's more advanced effects. This was seen in a lot of multiplatform games between the two

[@jsr734]

@@crestofhonor2349 then, why the Saturn is missing some background layers in some stages and some other details? It seems the developers were just trying to add some improvements while missing others just to have the game finished quickly. Also, lots of the added effects like the line scrolling can also be done on Playstation.

[@vasileios6301]

Saturn better backgrounds, Ps1 almost static. But framerate seems a little better on Ps1

[@aryasmayodi8115]

The WINNER IS PS1

[@kalasatwater2224]

Weird ass game

[@Crystallums]

Generally better on Saturn, except for some minor details. 😒

[@j.c.s7762]

PS1 Wins!!!!

[@Jerryjoe-lh3qc]

This game looks so GAY. The Saturn is more GAY than the PSX 🤣

[@Jerryjoe-lh3qc]

@FIGHTFAN777 9🤣

[@drunkensailor112]

​@FIGHTFAN77712 and gay

[@saratov99]

Now we can definitely answer why PS was superior to Saturn. It had better Cho Aniki!

[@rockhyde7775]

Why did they have to make that game that? Can’t get over how ugly they look. Why couldn’t they just make sprites from the ground up? Easily the most disappointing horizontal shooter on a 5th generation console. Maybe we were glad this didn’t come out in the west.

What a fruity game didn't know hard drugs were so rampant in Japan
