Classic Game Room - STAR SOLDIER for NES review

[@TilenCurin]

First game I EVER played! On a Famicom my father got me when I was 4. Love this damn awesome music.

[@alerommel1]

Star Soldier and Star Force were two of my favourites space shooters, extremely fast-paced!! Great review!

[@hondragrid]

I had this when I was a child back when the NES was out. I remember playing the crap out of this game and I got rather good at it but never beat it. This game had a fun challenge to it that kept bringing me back. Thanks to youtube I got to go back and see what the end boss was and see the ending finally for the first time. I was rather saddend to find out the last boss was the same star brain you've fought times before and the ending wasn't anything to miss.

[@NightSprinter]

Spiritual sequel. Star Force was from Tecmo. Hudson did the Soldier series, and was heavily-promoted by Takahashi Meijin/Master Higgins.

[@masonasaro2118]

like how hudson made adventure island from porting wonder boy, and bomberman from plopping their enemy sprite from their port of lode runner into eric and the floaters!

[@Palmroxx]

"Soldier Blade" for Turbo-Grafx16 / PC-Engine is so damn awesome, it's a sequel to this game. I don't even like Shmups all that much, but I simply love it. LOVE it. The music is incredible and the overall hectic feel gets really hypnotic. You get really sucked into it and can spend a long time just blasting enemies. Plus it looks a lot better than NES-games of course, with more vibrant colors and digital speech & sound effects. For anyone reading this, TRY it out if you get a chance. Fkn sweet

[@glorbojibbins2485]

I love that when I find a new nes game I can always count on CGR to have a short and sweet little review for me even after all these years

[@saigokun]

Thanks for posting this. This was an excellent game. It was also released for the MSX system in 1986. Hudson Soft made a lot of underestimated games in the past. This is one of them I think.

[@EmeraldWarrior420]

Love this game. Played it over and over again as a kid, and I still put it in every now and then. Still haven't beaten all 16 stages, but I've gotten dang close.

[@sonic8005]

I loved this game to death. Remember getting Star Soldier Vanishing Earth on the N64 during my childhood. Remembered thinking it was terribly short compared the original Star Soldier though... this game was a LOT of fun though, highly recommened

[@TKnightcrawler]

Oh yeah, I can definitely see how much Star Prince in Retro Game Challenge is based off of this game... wait, you haven't reviewed Retro Game Challenge yet? Seriously?! That game is definitely for you, Marc!

[@Chris246t8kr]

@SuperMegaMackan96 It's their own music, I don't know if you can download it on the website though.

[@StarlancerAstro]

Oh Hudson Soft we miss you!

[@UKaToNeN]

Good lookin` out on the review, missed this game back in the day. Might just have to give it a try now...

[@fieryelf]

I remember that game, it was a lot of fun.

[@TheHighlander71]

yeah! old school stuff rocks. I like this review.

[@gtabro1337]

Mark is on a quest to review EVERY vertical space ship shooter game ever...

[@CDScythe]

Do a review of ZANAC for the NES! now thats an awesome space ship shooter!

[@KartKing4ever]

Another great review.

[@tyniehawk]

I watch all classic game room regardless of the game, but i do love the nes ones.

[@i_am_raph]

I'm probably confused as heck, but I remember preferring to play Star Soldier instead of Star Force solely because you can just hold the shoot button and it'll be like a turbo button.

[@makedaevilmage]

Seems like a nice game, also enjoying EDF for the SNES now xD

[@ptcrusa]

A young Robert Downey Jr. on the cover of this game 😂

[@MrKDilkington0]

I have Solar Striker for the GB

[@santisven]

Yey! NES review!!!

[@captaintaco2345]

I just bought this game from a Pawn Shop for 5$. Hard as balls, but pretty darn fun.

[@starsoldier1]

I love this game!

[@snyggmorot]

what song is it an 0:08? Please awnser, :3

[@Millahtime]

You need to review the new Xevious 3D classics update on 3DS. Unless you have already.

[@OhJustCallMeLuke]

Is this a sequel to Star Force?

[@PivotCooler]

you have to review Star Soldier Vanishing Earth on the N64.

[@lordkaicer]

the japanese version of this game has different sprites for some enemies I don't know why, especially the blue face.

[@coldernice5523]

lordkaicer

[@MrPlatonist]

Review Star Force for the NES (i think they're very much related!)

[@progrocker69]

One of my favorite shooters for the NES is Seicross. And their remake of Gyruss which is better than the original believe it or not.

[@solluna1919]

This is one of your more humurous reviews ^.^

[@DeadOmega]

This game looks brutal..ly awesome

[@md3631363]

what about The Guardian Legend? they should do a review on that game, that was my space shooter when I was a kid, the music in that game is, shall I say, Legendary. Graphics and gameplay are great also. This game looks cool though, my Dad got me The Guardian Legend instead of this one if I remember correctly.

[@dinamitemaster]

@fsmetal I know but nowadays smileys are so overused they usually don't mean anything anymore. So i usually just ignore them

[@RKTGX95]

Review Silver Surfer !

[@1shoryuken]

you gotta check out Verytex for the Megadrive, just because Verytex rocks the shit.

[@dinamitemaster]

@fsmetal Oops i forgot it isn't a real band. i saw the vid Mark made about it and i forgot that it's imaginary. I also didn't realize you were joking :P

[@xboxnissan]

@LAtrailers AVGN did a good review, I agree with your request :)

[@shed412]

this reminds me of star prince off of the game retro game challenge

[@geosvandos]

you got to review raptor: call of the shadows, it's a great game

[@Ziggletooth]

@MrChocolatebars In what way? Its amazing how very single game ever made can be compared in terms of COD

[@plurp7]

game has awesome music, innovative for its time.

[@whammy850]

@rodrigocapitelli I know- they're so fun and SO FUCKING UNFORGIVING! I guess we're gluttons for punishment :P Ever try Life Force using the Konami Code? Or Terra Cresta? Captain Skyhawk can be fun too, but many times my ship will blow up without me having the faintest clue what the hell hit me. My personal favorite is Xevious, but it's tough as shit.

[@Lightningchaser92]

Review all the Halo Games

[@DABoredman]

Somebody has to do a Disco Remix of the Fully Powered theme.

[@teknifix]

STAR SOLDIER IS AWESOME!

[@joeds_]

@8BitAwesome yep thats..... WHAT!?

[@ONEDEADLYVENOM]

I loved this and I completed it, there's like 32 levels🤓

[@Musicradio77Network]

When I beat the entire game for the first time ever long after I can’t complete the entire game, it was 16 stages. After you played 16 stages of the game, you get a decent ending, but nothing special.

[@MaxwellStarr]

Looks like Star Force.

[@wenaldy]

1000 in 1 cartridge..what a memories... Lol

[@omarcortes88]

For great justice. Review Zero Wing!

[@gbrendel]

somehow i never thought i liked this game... but then when i think about it i played the shit out of it...

[@librenglaro]

NOSTALGIA RUSHING THROUGH MY VEINS

[@rodrigocapitelli]

I love these spaceship shooters, but I suck at every one I tried D= Anyone knows some good less chalenging spaceship shooters?

[@johnjgb6178]

Battle Mania on the mega drive. It’s so easy it’s ridiculous

[@J-Ball]

Do more nes reviews

[@ptwob]

hey, its that shmup by Hudson.

[@SLRMC93]

@Adityac1 that actually made me laugh more than scare me, it looks like a possessed Bigfoot

[@darkridearts]

Why does the ship disappear under the backgrounds seemingly at random? 🤯

[@lope129]

I couldn't find this

[@kinmanyuen]

though konami topped in this genre both in music and not so confusing graphics

[@hellofromgod2001]

i bought this cheap 20$ system and this was on it.. so was contra, mario, tanks etc.

[@mounir314]

review Xenoblade!

[@Holothurion]

I just love how the cover has almost nothing to do with the game.

[@arcticridge]

his voice is making me sleepy -.- and im wearing earphones

[@MELANIE1001]

@bluesgurugod somebody's seen Zardoz!

[@ethinethin]

Classic Shmup Room. More!

[@joeds_]

i know all of the secrets on this game thanks to Takahashi Meijin!

[@CrimsonHawkArts]

@Adityac1 OMFG. It's dark outside, I'm in a dark room, my screen is bright - now, there's poo in my pants.

[@XxRelmxX]

Ok, Star Prince fake game from Retro Game Challenge on DS is based on this actual game, interesting. :)

[@CupTheGlass]

it reminds me of GunNac

[@JohntheGameCollector]

@jmartin1087 true that.... I only trust reviews from CGR and Petedorr

[@dinamitemaster]

@fsmetal It's a game too

[@joeds_]

this is my favorite game! i play this for 2 HOURS!

[@L8C9S]

TOTALLY!

[@rahnyc4]

@WhatThePresidentSays why would he waste his money on that?

[@rahnyc4]

@WhatThePresidentSays why would he waste his money? he has a iphone/ipad...

[@gaboz]

Music rocks

[@Sadamoto6]

me and my brother always called the face George Washington

[@Holothurion]

Heh, you have said it.. XD

[@Ozwald_Baskev]

haha i just kept refreshing for 3 minutes to see how many views xD

[@DEVILSOLIDSNAKE1985]

why r u still reviwing thats older than u ???

[@Paradisio84]

Space Brain!

[@vittau]

I hate it when games take your speed away... It's just like in Gradius 3, you have to finish the game in one life, or you might as well just give up.

[@kangoroo0123]

@Adityac1 that was so starting that you should go to jail for telling me to do that.

[@RisingBeast00]

I always thought the actor on the game's cover looked like Dustin Hoffman.

[@Siritking]

Serba Dow u da

[@ParsaTamashekan]

@Adityac1 i jump out of my wheelchair.

[@GadGades]

Super Star Soldier isn't on the Super Nintendo?! That's just wrong

[@cowboysintvland]

I feel like this game could be used by the military to recruit pilots. Hard as nails game when you use the standard controller.

[@tconn101]

no top comment yay..... blablabla

[@WhatThePresidentSays]

buy an xperia play!

[@WhatThePresidentSays]

@rahnyc4 because he reviews everything related to gaming, hater.
