Mega Drive Longplay [117] Whip Rush 2222 AD

[@daniel_lucio]

One of my first Mega Drive games, love the ost, I remember how this game shocked me in early 90's

[@JonoK79]

Loved the music to this game!

[@nemesis5481]

_Absolutely!!!!!!_

[@waynecuff3140]

Amazing game, some seriously gorgeous parallax scrolling going on:)

[@benaires07]

Renovations used to make some BAD-ass SHMUPS for the Megadrive/Sega Genesis. The soundtrack for this game was frigging AWESOME!!!! fi you think THIS is bad, check out Wings oF WOR!! another nice SHMUP!!!

[@twist58]

My 2nd favorite space-themed SEGA game behind "Hellfire." I always played them both WAY back in the 90s. I loved those games.

[@larrytan163]

By pressing and holding B and C buttons, the wingmen will move to and fro along the chosen axis.

[@thiagomundrungo]

Very well played. Congratulations. This was one of the most difficult games to genesis/mega drive i ever player.

[@johngavalas712]

Difficult?? Pfft have you tried Twin Cobra or Truxton??

[@darkblade7579]

Omg I loved this game, and the music! Core memory re-unlocked! thank you for posting

[@MrGONZILA84]

One weapon I hated was the irritating "fire" weapon, which shoots in the opposite direction of where you press the directional pad

[@tjjavier]

Hahahaha same man! Hated that! 😂

[@johnjgb6178]

Missile is the best

[@retrosoul8770]

Ahh so that's how the upgrade system works! Thanks for showing me, I kept getting the same one and wondering what was the deal, since I knew about the options.

[@wingdragon5751]

I managed to beat this game. "Laser" was one of my best powerups. "Pods" is a great power for assistance.

[@Chickenworm9394]

This is my 1st game played on MD :)

[@MrGONZILA84]

Nostalgia level Hard

[@reginald1817]

I just love that old school video game background music😁!! This was a great game!!

[@RetroPiero]

Now this is a fun little shmup for the genesis :)

[@АртурАбрамов-о9й]

01.12.2020) the game was played only today).I haven't played it before 501 games on 16 bits passed)

[@Nintality]

This looks like a must have game 👌 never seen this before 😊

[@tjjavier]

It's the best shmup I've played! Give it a shot! 😄

[@Nintality]

@@tjjavier best shmup? I like it, yet there are better ones on the Genesis

[@tjjavier]

@@Nintality Best for me imo, hehe. So you finally got to play it?

[@Nintality]

@@tjjavier Yes, i do like the game tho. Schmups in general are mostly enjoyable. Just those bullet hell ones are not for me, to much going on on the screen 😁

[@psychokinesis878]

The one thing I remembered about this was the final stage music...other than that I barely remember this game....even thought I had it at one point

[@SonOfBe3r]

Have you even played it ? :-\ This game was awesome, every second of it

[@WhiteValkery]

you can just imagine the aliens screaming "WILL NOTHING STOP IT!?!?!?!?"

[@javicolt]

wow..bigger old times This is my first videogame!!!! i was ten years old!!! i was japanese version

[@mohammedelsheikh5342]

What? You finished this game in 26 m? Thanks for the upload mate. In addition to b button that made the pods move to and fro or up/down, I think c button would make'm rotate. Was very useful.

[@peterbleil9169]

I wish I still had my mega drive I remember this and many many more grate games I should ev hung onto it

[@paulitanpaul4]

Great game!!!! check the soundtrack to Outrun 2019. same greatness

[@razorclawtiger]

Wow impressive shumpup there is so many for the megadrive and snes probably copied these ideas for rtype since this was an older game. Crazy monster bosses and guitar music

[@Bloodreign1]

+Razorclaw Predaking R-Type copied ideas? I wouldn't say that, R-Type came out a few years before. Perhaps one of the later R-Types could have something inspired by this game, but I don't know about that either.

[@jean-poutrelemelomaneavert4085]

+Razorclaw Predaking +Bloodreign1 Nope. Whip Rush is an obvious R-type clone, competent ripoff but nothing special really. The "trinity" of horizontal Shmups that has inspired the whole 90's bunch were Gradius by Konami, Darius by Taito & R-type by Irem.

[@Bloodreign1]

Jean-Poutre LeMelomaneAverti Correct, those 3 are considered the godfathers of a lot of hori shmups released later on.

[@jean-poutrelemelomaneavert4085]

Bloodreign1 if you want some more information on the shmup genre, feel free to dig onto Shmupemall.com (a french one, but has some english speaking in it. Even USA players!). cheers

[@Bloodreign1]

Jean-Poutre LeMelomaneAverti I normally hang around the Shmups.com forum, been a member there since 05.

[@My2Cents1]

Is this related to R-Type? Or is it a clone?

[@pthibault630]

If anything it's a clone. Although I would say it's more of a clone of Psychosis... which in itself is an R-Type clone. So Whip Rush is kind of a clone of a clone. Haha. But it's one of my all time favorite side scrolling space shooters.

[@Windavinci]

Never seen this one. No European release.

[@daviddefortier5970]

I wish there wasnt an ad every nano second... This is unwatchable. A 25 min video would take like 3 hours to getthrough

[@Inckman452]

this look so similar to R-type but not has memorable, even the ship is the same

[@opaljk4835]

I hope in the years since you made this comment you e watched a clip of r type

[@Inckman452]

@@opaljk4835 a clip of r type? Dont you mean "played the game?

this kinda reminds me of zero wing

It does hey.. i was surprised because i did not know this existed until now. Zerowing is still better though

[@opaljk4835]

I can do that I just don’t wanna

[@predaking2wings]

you can use the game genie if your not as good as long play because boooyyy this game is hard

[@14catorce]

***** "Super Nintendo has better shooters in my opinion" WAAAT??

[@kaneda4102]

14catorce md shooters are plentiful but mediocre at best, try naming one mega drive shooter as good as r-type 3 (musha and thunder force don’t come close)

[@arrigolazzaretto6973]

@@kaneda4102 Eliminate Down,Gleylancer,Dangerous Seed,Heavy Unit,Silpheed(MCD),Bari Arm(MCD),Denin Aleste(MCD),Lord Of Thunder(MCD).In My collection have more 40 console,SEGA Mega Drive and Super Famicom/NES both.The SFC have great games(especially RPG),but MD is well rounded console(fastest CPU and higher resolution).

[@dynastesgigas6996]

@@arrigolazzaretto6973 , bringing up the MCD is kind of cheating here. It was basically a separate console that was turned into an attachment. If you're going to make comparisons, stick to the cartridge-based system (mega drive only).

[@opaljk4835]

Dynastes Gigas most of those games only really had the benefit of an enhanced soundtrack and maybe some inconsequential effects. Honestly, R type 3 is really amazing, but If anything I would’ve used Axelay as a way of showing off something that no console had anything that came close to. The thunder force games alone (especially the 4th one) is one of the best games of the era. Both libraries have incredible games, but only one is fabulous when it comes to shooters. And then the tg16 has both of them beat by a large margin, so whateva

[@Kiran24]

AAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA. the advanced busterhawk kills every shooter on sfc alone. - Gleylancer - Eliminate Down - Thunderforce 4 (kills R-Type 3 in every way) - Toaplan (ZeroWing, Hellfire, Fire Shark, Truxton) - Battle Mania 1 and 2 - Gynoug What is the talk about R-Type 3 being a good title? it is slow, with few good sprites and it does not even come close to the great MDs. And even then: what comes next to R-Type 3 on sfc? Axelay, maybe, but then: that's it. Game over. Step aside, Nintendards, Shmups belong on Sega or NEC consoles.

[@TronPachioftheDynamo]

No. I want to though. Rip off=/=bad at all.

[@raphaelbovey5676]

Average graphics. One of the first megadrive shmups if I remember Wells.

[@TronPachioftheDynamo]

This looks like a kickass Thunder Force rip off. I want to play! Still... Super Nintendo has better shooters in my opinion.

[@xtremegold2950]

shooters on the snes are garbage...with slowdows....aero fighters the only game on that system

[@kaneda4102]

xtreme gold it gets judged on the early releases R-type and gradius. R-type 3, Super aleste, axelay all superior to any md release.

[@chrisrj9871]

side-scrolling space shooters are just as common as any other game genre.
