Mega Drive Longplay [055] Taz in Escape from Mars

[@brunoribeirovasconcelos5166]

Obrigado por ter postado, me ajudou muito na parte mais difícil da última fase pois levei mais de 27 anos pra descobrir até poder voltar a jogar novamente, valeu mesmo.

[@KyoNanashi]

Taz is the best. God I used to play the shit out of this game. And I am probably not the only who has just stood there and held spin button just to listen to the whirling sound :P

[@turbomario]

This is a game that grew on me, for sure. I got it as a birthday gift a few years ago and was initially a bit disappointed, but then i played it and really enjoyed it.

[@Twiztedgoalie]

I could never get past the drill chasing you in the second world when I rented this one as a kid.

[@Ocelot35]

the horror

[@Markov092]

Great memories, one of favorite Sega games. God I fucking hated that level where those drills come out from left side.

[@scottvomit3]

Rex Lat yeah it pisses me off the level itself without that thing eats your energy up quickly

[@5434345]

+Scott Whitney Actually, that mole machine can one-touch-kill Taz, just like spikes in Taz-Mania.

[@scottvomit3]

yeah i know this game is kind of tough pretty hard but it looks and sounds so cool i keep coming back to it :)

[@ur-inannak9565]

Ironically that level is your saving grace that will allow you to beat the game if you know how to farm.

[@MrGodsChaos]

I could never beat the mole stage because it always caught up to me. Once it killed me while eating the exit sign. I stopped playing after that

[@danielwalters2045]

Mole World Level 2 Scared the fuck of me when I was a kid

[@thehatker]

i never could beat that freaking red monster. i lost the game before i ever got a chance to beat it. and i cant believe i watched this all the way through entirely. it was awesome.

[@TheChaosDragoness]

This was one of the first games I ever owned, I can still remember little babby Chaos sitting in her room and playing this all night X3 It was a gift from my uncle too, I've always associated Taz the Tasmanian Devil with my uncle because that's his favorite cartoon character.

[@CdoubleyouC]

I just bought this game today from a Disc Replay, along with Twin Cobra. I am stoked.

[@FJhGB1]

57:39 - I love music on this level.

[@Benjamillion]

this game was like, unbeatable for me. glad i got to see the actual ending this time around

[@ryanc519]

all japanese made tiny toons and disney games are gold

[@HyperShan3]

This, was the very first game I had ever owned! Thanks so much for uploading this video! ='D

[@stevecapogna3959]

Why was there no marven martian game?

[@LaR536]

I was 14 years old when this video released omg

[@JaDangerz]

Because it's a good game, even some parts are really difficult

[@DaBlackSmokeMonster]

Epic game. Brought back a lot of memories. As a kid I never got past the orange monster thing. It wasn't that clear what you had to do. Music was the boss for the game too.

[@ur-inannak9565]

Huge props if you could get that far as a child.

[@jadedheartsz]

I remember seeing this game at a Bloomingdales of all places as a kid, right by the clothes there was a TV with this game set up on it, I played it for a bit and my parents had to practically drag me away, needless to say I soon bought that game at Funcoland.

[@TheFlyingSaucePan]

Well, that's fast. Looks like I had the PAL version of this game... Thanks France!

[@MrTsengar]

I remember getting stuck on gossamer boss D:

[@fabiopea]

Gossamer was the reason why I never finished this game when I was a kid!

[@CampionBun]

omg!!! I remember playing this game as a kid!!!

[@forzazzz]

i never got past the red monster :D thanks a lot man, now im excited as hell to see marvin's house ^^

[@razorclawtiger]

i traded snes junglebook and stuntracer fx chip for this game because i couldn't play them and this taz escape has some cool vibe to it, love his character.

[@epicon6]

Mega Drive Jungle Book was the only game i owned that i never finished and it still bugs me :) Have to dust it off and give it another go :)

[@IDidntComeUpWithName]

This game reminds me of the time i was 14 years old. I Played with my Cousin for A Month, Almost Brought me Tears when i Heard the Theme Music of Haunted Castle and the LAst Stage. I Loved And Still Love This GAME !!!!!!

[@Dwight2744]

This game was dope but I could never fucking beat it.

[@Lamadredetuamigo]

Now I can remember how was the game... actually I beat it! Those were great times.

[@TehMimi]

OMG I REMEMBER THIS GAME

[@Benjamillion]

mars and planet x... well at least taz didn't meet mike dawson along the way

[@sixshooter500]

I hate the Bull, you had a lot better luck than I.

[@gaoutlaw]

I like this game for all the different LT characters that appear... Taz, Marvin, Witch Hazel, Gossamer and the Bull from "Bully For Bugs"

[@yamaha94O]

33:55 when there was no green can't in the van at all

[@Blondvsdiocane]

AVEVO 5 ANNI QUANDO CI GIOCAI TOTALE !

[@samuelross1987]

If only all those Looney Tunes games come back for the Nintendo switch.

[@pXxDisasteRxXq]

and today I discover that Taz-Mania for Mega Drive had a following!

[@NoahNCopeland]

1:01:40 "press x to acid trip"

[@FranciscoFJM]

Ah yes, my favorite planet, fucking MEXICO

[@doublec3]

Longplays are ok, since it shows the game from beginning to end, usually the player collecting all health items in the level. Not everyone is good enough to do these longplays, so congrats to the longplay posters.

[@Benjamillion]

i suppose i should leave a comment as how frustrating the game was so here goes... in all honesty, i wasn't fond if this game. i know it borrowed the same gameplay mechanics from taz-mania, the game before it, but it left you thinking about the game design in general. like in some stages, the health items are left in the most ridiculous spots, like a turkey being next to an alien creature that shoots projectiles, or a burger in the same type of spot. and some enemies are indestructible as well!

[@raggedystar8255]

Used to be one of my favourite games as a kid, but the controls were always too floaty and slippery - difficult to get precision jumps off and controlling Taz while he was spinning was incredibly hard xD Still a fun game though! Never got past the mole level either

[@Brd-wv9io]

This game was alright buy I could never get past the Mole world.

[@mattdre88]

Probably one of the harder games around.

[@afarongordon]

ahhh i miss this game they need to bring back megadrive

[@Gabranth86]

Mexico was my favorit level :) I never past the boss in haunted castle, the hairy red thing :/

[@BigKenobi]

Never got past the mole level.

[@DarrienJonesJr]

I love this game it has alot of secret spots and It's just so fun XD

[@nelsonvampire2453]

si estaba en mexico en una parte, porque no solo siguio su camino hasta Tazmania o tenia un asunto pendiente con el marciano?

[@Vectormantudeoz]

Taz mania Genesis but better

[@ClawManV3]

....What?? How in the world do you go from Planet X to MEXICO? *mind is blown*

[@sixshooter500]

44:40 Disappearing and reappearing blocks? Is that you Mega man?

[@taystephens2490]

18:15 shit gets real

[@nelsonvampire2453]

que hace el coyote y el correcaminos en este juego del demonio de tazmania? encima en mexico?

[@colourcloud65]

Tough game ever

[@MetalHeadJagger]

i died so many times on haunted castle level (part 1) outside the castle, and the (part 3) green labartory hell!!! died countless times and made me rage quit!!! after i found out using a continue will send you all the way back to part 1 smh

[@R0NJ0N]

memories gah dam

[@dragonballz768]

Taz and the Bull. Taz - V6 Bull - V8

[@heinztomatoo]

one of the best games of sega ... but not with due recognition :((

[@kmix2005]

Legendary game use to play day night 😂 stages hard bosses are easy

[@IAmDeafSoGiveMeADola]

What I always wondered about this game. If he escaping from mars... how come when goes to Mexico, he leaves mexico to go back to the haunted castle and back to mars?

[@samuelduvall8130]

Use to have this game because I love tax

[@technologick1183]

RickyC should have spun upwards to avoid the laser from the Moleworld boss. I miss my Sega.

[@PeterSivazak]

So he goes back to Earth and then back to Marvin's house? On Mars?

[@PacGuy765]

on the mexico level, you see the road runner, coyote, sam and el toro!

[@dokjyrsaa2287]

40:51 All in all this part was that easy. I´ll never passed it.

[@Jac2Mac]

@Twiztedgoalie I also thought the drill part of this game was absolutely impossible when I rented this game at Blockbuster Video and thought that Sega put that level in to make children extremely angry and want to kill Sega.

[@WeskerSega]

Some HeadGames former staffer should go back and explain that. They would have been better putting other kinds of weird planets rather than Earth locations randomly placed. I mean, it's easier for Taz to simply go to Tasmania from Mexico or the Haunted Castle rather than doing all the returning to Mars only to go back to Earth once again.

[@boydsterling3193]

Playing the Game Gear version is something of a letdown after watching this! Never had the MD version but they had it at school which was awesome...

[@scottvomit3]

I can't seem to get past the green mole follow and kill you machine on Mole World this game graphics are great but they make you work for it also this Taz seems to move much faster then the Taz in regular Tazmania

[@ariotriwibowo]

this game kicks ass...a hard game though

[@maxiethefox8546]

is this Sunsoft?

[@Bloodreign1]

Headgames, I believe the same people who did the X-Men and Ecco games on Genesis.

[@supersexysega]

@@Bloodreign1 Pink Panther and X-Men 2 are the other two Head Games did for the Genesis. Ecco was done by Novatrade who are now Appaloosa.

[@WeskerSega]

@maxiethefox8546 Nope. Most of the Looney Tunes games on Mega Drive, Master System and Game Gear were licensed by Sega themselves, including this one. The Looney Tunes on SNES, NES and Game Boy, on the other hand, were the ones licensed by Sunsoft.

[@WeskerSega]

@@Bloodreign1 The Ecco games were done by Novotrade/Appaloosa in Hungary. HeadGames was located in San Francisco, and aside from this game, they did Pink Panther in Hollywood (in this case, for TecMagik), and then started to work for Sega of America doing Wacky Worlds and then this game and X-Men 2 Clone Wars. In these latter cases, they had to do sequels for games they didn't develop in the first place (Taz-Mania was by Recreational Brainware and X-Men was by Western Techonologies) but Sega of America clearly advised them to mimick their graphical and gameplay styles.

[@flyawayhome3]

suuuch a sick game!

[@mathieudutertredesouza]

sa veut dire quil y en a un autre

[@nelsonvampire2453]

ah la bruja que queria cocinar al conejo bugs bunny y de nuevo sam, claro ese que tenia un dragón que escupia llamas,

[@Doc_Animator_N]

15:36 LOL

[@TheGMAN3D]

i use to have this never could beat it

[@LeeOsburn]

This game sure could use the rom hack treatment. Great graphics and presentation, but the overuse of bomb traps and Taz constantly screaming in pain is just TERRIBLE. 😖

[@Tuznecote]

Looking at this game now. I dunno how the hell I beat it without cheating or quicksaves. I ruled.

[@epicon6]

It's because back then games were played with a different mindset than now. If these games were as games are now, that the player would have infinite lives/saves it would take 20-60 minutes to finish most Genesis/Mega Drive games and there would be nothing memorable about it. So the life/length of the games came from slowly learning it. If they were fast to play through no one would have bought games but rented the games and finished them in one night. Back then it was all about enjoying the whole process and being rewarded for hard work, knowing it will take weeks or months or even years to finish. And we weren't as spoiled as people are now with tens of thousands of games to choose from. And playing classic games now it's easy to get frustrated because we easily forget that we used to spend a ton of hours on these games to be able to finish them.

[@PeterSivazak]

Decent game. The original Tazmania was better though.

[@greveeen]

Indeed I remember thinking this too as a kid, the second one was much harder and the stages was depressing and very alike

[@nelsonvampire2453]

taz escapo del zoologico de marte de Marvin, acaso el marciano no se dio cuenta de su ausencia, lo estara buscando? o no le da importancia ya, mientras taz tiene que regresar a tazmania pero debe pasar por planetas y algunos lugares como: mexico, si ya esta en mexico en 4to nivel quiere decir que ya esta en la tierra.
