Mega Drive Longplay [138] M. U. S. H. A.

[@cyco7229]

that moment at 12:20 blew my little kid mind when i played this game for the first time, the tiles falling and then the beautiful parallax chasm below.

[@HeartFilledHatred]

Woah, i did not remember it! You're right!

[@TheToughBaby]

Agreed

[@Grouncontrol]

It blew my mind at the time, and I was in my early 20’s. First time anything like that was seen on a home console!

Hackchi dude. Easy to set up. I have it on my SNESmini. It's already an emulator anyway so what not add more ROMs?

[@gc3k]

After reading an interview from one of Treasure's lead programmers, I can see how a lot of this game inspired Ikaruga (the shape of the player's bullets, the dramatic explosions ending in a white flash, the tight corridor sections, the final bosses, and what I believe is Sanskrit writing on the environments and enemy ships)

[@TheToughBaby]

The way the face inside the orb changes over time, getting angrier. This game is so fucking good.

[@priscillaasagiri4913]

Stage 4 is my favorite. The robot starts flying close to the ground but keeps going up. Like last stage's Airwing Carrier. And the thunder clouds are awesome. And the music is great too.

[@grumblekin]

One of the greatest shooters of all time, alongside Space Aleste and Lords of Thunder.

[@Mirrodin82]

What an awesome game

[@briancoffey8070]

Sega, in the days of the genesis, had the better quality of shoot em ups. Everything from their game play to their music/sound effects trumped a lot of what was on offer by the time the Super Nintendo came around.

[@ravagingwolverine]

I've seen that there are plenty of people who prefer Robo Aleste, even if more prefer MUSHA. Both are excellent games, and both are very different in many ways despite feeling similar. I found Robo Aleste to be less consistent in the way it plays. The games are so similar that picking a favorite is more likely to come down to style than anything else. I prefer MUSHA's visual style, audio style, and gameplay style. The ability to take a hit then urgently look for the next power up makes it so much fun for me. Robo Aleste is a wonderful and charming game that sucks me in when I play it, even when it gives me a hard time.

[@dousola]

Robo aleste has cheesy dance music. Unbearable nowadays

[@robertthomas5736]

The Cutscenes are Awesome

[@HexenStar]

I couldn't care less for this game, but the soundtrack - now that's an entirely different story altogether! Very impressive. The creators knew that if there is one thing to wow the player with - that would it it. One of the best metal virtuoso albums out there (and free). The best overall soundtrack on Megadrive.

[@runningdecadeix4780]

The game is actually amazing as well. I guess if you don't like shmups you won't care much for it, but I was never a big shmup guy, played MUSHA this year and it's now in my top 10 games ever. Idk it's just really really fun, getting better at the game, memorizing it, all with the amazing soundtrack

[@retrosoul8770]

Unfortunate that the sound is messed up, especially since this game's soundtrack is among the *absolute best* of the 16-bit era and on the Genesis, but this video doesn't justify that claim, its too high :( Still a great run of a classic Gen game though!

[@yohkom.7988]

This channel is known for using bad emulators for Mega Drive games, this has already been discussed around, even on some forums. Also I just watched a bit of their Grindstormer video and they used crappy filters which make the game looks bad. A shame but I have no idea why they do this.

[@retrosoul8770]

Ugh, for the same reason that no one has made a great Gen/MD clone system yet? lol

[@perfectblue8443]

Retro Soul did you say the best? I thought I was the only one to believe that. Totally agree with you, to me it's even better than Herzog zwei, Shinobi, Streets of rage, thundeforce 3. Incidentally MUSHA ALESTE is the best game on megadrive imo

Haha, I loved the text they added to the US version about Terri recovering from her "minor wounds" and awaiting "new adventures," as if she was just going to bounce back from watching her entire team get slaughtered in an instant. Oh, she's a trooper, but I think she's got a lot of medical leave coming...

Great game from 1990

[@brianhenry152]

My absolute favorite vertical scrolling shooter ever. I remember finding this at a Blockbuster video rental store when I was about 14, and rented it for the weekend. I loved every second playing this game. The music in particular was/is fantastic. It's a shame this is do hard to find...

I like how one of the in-game sound effects is basically the All Clear jingle from Puyo Puyo.

[@Bloodreign1]

The extra life jingle, a trademark of Compile shmups, and of Compile's Puyo Puyo games as well. In other words, same developers who did this, also did Puyo Puyo.

[@Peter_1986]

Actually, the SNES did have several scrolling shooters that were genuinely excellent, and had barely any slowdowns at all. "Space Megaforce" can easily compete with the best scrolling shooters on the Mega Drive, and a few other great SNES games in that genre are "U.N. Squadron", "Super Aleste" and "FirePower 2000", and all of those games have excellent music as well.

[@SoundFantasy]

Music is wayy off dude What emulator did you use?

[@DanielAyy]

A bad one.

[@superandroidtron]

It's not the quality of the sound, it's simply the pitch. I think it's probably just bad emulation of the sound chip.

[@mrmusicverse]

I didn't either, and I have this game on my Wii U (Virtual Console).

[@ChristianDeLarge]

Is this tool assisted? Because it looks like he takes a few hits without it damaging him.

[@Juanknes]

The sound is way off. Sounds way better on real hardware. Still a nice video.

[@Postman00]

PAL and NTSC differences

[@FoxBoy1992]

Is the music different in PAL or is it due to the speed? I noticed a Contra game I played on PAL had similar issues I never enjoyed.

[@Postman00]

What I understand is that PAL region games (50Hz) when played on NTSC consoles or emulators configured to run at NTSC speeds (59.94Hz), the chips processes some information slightly faster than expected of the game cart (including the sound sampling chip) and the result ends up slightly faster, about roughly 6/5 speed. The same occurs when the opposite happens. This one is likely to be a ROM dump of a Europe (PAL) cart but played on an emulator running at NTSC speed. I usually play Japanese ROM dumps and it doesn't sound like this.

[@landon29]

@BladuS100 This game is called Musha Aleste in Japan. Robo Aleste must be a sequel or something.

[@Jaqen-HGhar]

So I'm guessing they were using an emulator means they were doing this tool assisted or w/ save states?

There should have been a sequel detailing Terri's battle with PTSD and alcoholism.
