ESWAT : City under Siege Speedrun in

[@theskyisteal8346]

Just beat this game today. Literally smacking my head with how obvious some of these strats should have been on parts where I struggled for so long.

[@maxwell_marshal]

Congrats ! Do not forget that these strats make you miss the authentic experience of beating the game once without prior knowledge. Today I would not be able to play this game "casually" anymore.

[@dev639]

Nice run! This game has an awesome soundtrack.

[@maxwell_marshal]

Thanks ! Yeah the soundtrack is memorable, especially the boss fight music !

[@mcoupe69]

Maxwell Marshal this and gadget twins are probably my favorite genesis soundtracks

[@videogamemusicrenditionsby7625]

Indeed a great soundtrack!

[@igormorais4192]

As a kid I couldn't even get past the lab man.... This game is BS. Cool job

[@maxwell_marshal]

Did you give it another chance or is it too much BS for you ?

[@darkstardarin]

Fun Fact: This is the assist cop from the first Streets of Rage.

[@maxwell_marshal]

Oh seriously ? Was that officially claimed ?

[@darkstardarin]

@@maxwell_marshal Not officially but it makes sense because in SoR2 all good cops was fired or transferred elsewhere. Also the car from the ending is the same as the police assist from SoR and the two even look alike.

[@maxwell_marshal]

@@darkstardarin huh I like this theory, I should take a better look at this next time I play ESWAT and SoR

[@Xonatron]

Interesting. Thanks for letting us know about this. Here's more: streetsofrage.fandom.com/wiki/Unnamed_Police_Officer

[@Yajeeb]

great run bro

[@maxwell_marshal]

Thanks !

[@k1bran7985]

Удивительно, что спидранов по данной игре очень мало. Хорошая работа, хоть и не идеальный забег)

[@maxwell_marshal]

Yeah I'm also surprised. This speedrun was published on May 2018 and I haven't seen another one since (Btw I hope my translation of your message was correct haha)

[@ni4egoneponyal]

Да, действительно мало, в основном TAS'ы. На самом деле, из таких стареньких игр, которые были на Sega, Kid Chameleon как будто была создана для спидранов. Там нет багов, но зато есть куча бонусов, оставленных разработчиками для быстрого прохождения любого уровня

[@videogamemusicrenditionsby7625]

Less than 20 minutes, that's insane! I never beat this game!

[@maxwell_marshal]

You're not alone ! I found this game really hard on my first playthrough too

[@biggpp6276]

Found my old sega genesis portable and wanted to see if anyone played this game still. Good run man!

[@maxwell_marshal]

Trust me there are still plenty of people playing this game 😉 And thanks buddy

[@slowbro1337]

Bonus point for eswat players that know how to farm lives in cyber prison by glitching through the bars and farming the one up

[@maxwell_marshal]

No bonus point for me, but need to try that !

[@slowbro1337]

@@maxwell_marshal You could always try the challenge of finding it if you dont know where it is or look it up. Found it as a kid just jumping on the lift in the level. Never would have beaten Eswat without it haha. I can do it now but I still like to farm it sometimes

[@maxwell_marshal]

I'll take the challenge ! It probably won't help optimize the runtime, but the trick must be fun to find haha

[@slowbro1337]

@@maxwell_marshal Good luck yo!

[@JohnR-fc7vr]

Dude that's an awesome job! You fucking rock! I wish i could play like this. But my eyes got power while playing Jennifer capriarti tennis on genesis. After that I only play games that i can cheat in.

[@maxwell_marshal]

Thanks mate ! To be honest I wish I could play better than this, I still have some ideas and more difficult strats to implement, but I am unable to perform these on a full run. Maybe considering switching to running Jennifer Capriati Tennis, it looks chill 🤭

[@Brian-s3m]

seems to be a desync but that ost alone makes up for it!

[@maxwell_marshal]

I do not think so, to my experience the game sometimes triggers sound effects or musics a bit late (especially the boss theme for level 7 mid-boss). But yeah that ost is so catchy !

[@Brian-s3m]

@@maxwell_marshal nvm my pc is crap!

[@needleman08]

Hi! Im interested in running this to bring down that time, do you have a twitch account to stream this? If not can you maybe give me some tips here from a reply, I love to run obscure Genesis and SNES gems and this seemed like the next best game I should run, Thanks!

[@maxwell_marshal]

Nice ! I'm interested to see how much you can bring down the run time ! I do not stream but we can chat about it so I can give you advices 👌

[@urge251980]

This game runs like Revenge Of Shinobi

[@maxwell_marshal]

I would say that this game feels easier and more deterministic than Revenge of Shinobi, and thus needs less efforts for speedrunning

[@jesot]

This game has more than one level? I could never get past how slow you walk.

[@maxwell_marshal]

Walking in this game is so slow that I prefer jumping or flying haha

[@Baby4HeadAutographer]

Why isn't this game ran more?

[@maxwell_marshal]

Running this game isn't even effort consuming at the current level of runtime. I would say that this game is not enough popular even though it featured in latest Sega Genesis collection games

[@Baby4HeadAutographer]

@@maxwell_marshal I had never heard of it before, but it looks like an amazing game...especially for 1990. Congrats on the WR

[@maxwell_marshal]

@@Baby4HeadAutographer Thanks mate

Hey man, my name is cheekychunk and I'm trying to get into running this game. Would it be possible to talk on discord?

Yes sure ! I would be glad to help you getting into running this game !
