Mega Drive Longplay [349] Dangerous Seed

[@jasonsea6110]

I got this game in 1996 and of course it was way too hard for a 6 y.o. kid. But just hard enough for my dad: he played all night and I spectated and enjoyed the music. It was around 8 am when he beat the game and I missed the last part because of the bed time. So next day he couldn't stop describing the last stages and bosses to me - like we were buddies of same age:)

[@BakaFrom2013]

I playing this games SO MUCH in my childhood on Sega Mega Drive! Love this game!

[@PauloRicardo-ul8zi]

Me too

[@mechazookie]

Loved this game. Especially the music.

[@lalolanda8458]

The music is really good! More than I remember.

[@thehumbleone1983]

one of the good shooters for the mega drive and great music

[@darrenclements6028]

Dangerous seed is legendary with Spectacular graphics The stages are 2Fast 2Furious and breathless An excellent mega drive version of the arcade game from namco 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

It's a game that I have heard about from the early days of the Mega Drive and was only ever available as a grey important in the 90s, which raises the question, *Why wasn't this included on any of the official Sega minis?* Would have been a better fit than some of those games that popped up on the minis such as the flat 2D Virtua Fighter game.

[@bigbabatunde1218]

An almost mythical import game that every one from the early days of the Mega Drive and the 90s grey import scene had heard of but few kids actually got to play. Which raises the question, *Why wasn't this included on any of the 2 official Sega minis?* Would have been a far better fit than some of those games that did make it on the minis.

[@BobbyBaudoin]

Music's pretty good! Looks like a decent game.

[@axelgomez958]

Amigo este videojuego es de lo mejor!!! Es el primer videojuego que jugue de Sega Genesis, tenía 5 años cuando me compraron mi primer videojuego Sega jeje HERMOSO RECUERDO!!! Gracias por subir un video así, no me acordaba como se llamaba el juego hasta que lo encontre.

[@laden3024]

Lo tenias pirata cierto?

[@axelgomez958]

@@laden3024 Lo tenía en un caset. Me había comprado mi primer consola Sega Genesis 1. Era allá por 2001.

[@LS-to6el]

Cuando tenia 6 años me compraron un megadrive japones y este fue uno de los primeros juegos que tuve, era pirata pero yo no sabia nada de eso en ese momento. Lo que recuerdo es que el juego me daba mucho miedo por la musica y para mi fue muy dificil, nunca lo termine.

[@SanderBlast]

9:50 I remember hearing this from some Sonic romhack many years ago. How odd to find the source here unexpectedly.

[@TheGreek95]

SanderBlast do you remember the name of that sonicromhack?So i will try to find it

[@SanderBlast]

The Greek 95 Sorry for my tardy response, but the name of the romhack was Sonic Megamix. I know the theme I remembered was used for the final boss in version 4.0, which can easily be found through a KZbin search.

[@TheGreek95]

SanderBlast OK, thanks 😃

[@FMDesperado]

Sonic Megamix

OMG

[@Matheus55032]

I played this game here in Brazil... years ago

[@PauloRicardo-ul8zi]

Me too. Coincidence. Don't you think?

[@delvechiocavalhieri2105]

For all the Sonic Megamix fans - 5:50 you are welcome

[@lfla0179]

You didn't even switch formations. Impressed.

[@colourcloud65]

Best game ever

[@PauloRicardo-ul8zi]

I remember this game. I almost made it to the final stage on Normal Mode.

[@julianobitsgen]

A good game, but kinda on the easy side, specially if compared to others on the system.

[@DiegoAGimenez81]

Amazing music : 6:46 iron maiden flash of the blade...

[@NEILSINGH-mh3ub]

close! it sounds like dave murray and adrian smith got involved with the guitar sound from the beginning song of IroN MaideN flash of the blade but its a little off .

[@MxArgent]

this is an...odd port. the new stages are nice, but they're a pretty transparent cover for the fact that they apparantly couldn't implement the arcade version's combining bosses. a little lackluster in the graphics and sound department vs. the AC version.

[@BADC0FFEE]

I think the musics are a lot better than the original ones

[@bigbabatunde1218]

Didn't know this was an arcade game first, so don't know arcade's music, but the music on this is pretty great. Why do games like this that have been around since the early days of the Mega Drive not been included on any of the Sega minis? Would have been a better fit than some of those games that popped up on the minis.

[@Bloodreign1]

@@bigbabatunde1218 Would be up to Bandai Namco (a union I still don't like, wish Namco had been able to sustain on their own due to their rich history), my guess is they didn't want this port on them. But did any Namco games make it to the Mini? Maybe stuff like Burning Force, though these days Marvel Land won't be released in the US (the recent Arcade Archives stayed in Japan due to that meh comic book company in the US).

[@davidmartin3280]

I very much loved watching this! I'm actually just now starting to get into this game and shoot em' ups in general. I do have a question for anyone that may want to pass some knowledge onto another. It's a newb question also. What is the story with the "S", "P" and "O" power ups? I couldn't help but notice later in the game you avoided picking up the "S" power ups and I was just curious. Currently I can only get past the first three stages without getting hit. It's been crazy fun trying to get better at this!

[@BenGmanUk]

S is speed. P is weapon power up and O is the options that rotate around your ship. He probably avoided S as you move v quickly once fully powered up with S.

[@davidmartin3280]

@@BenGmanUk Thank you for the reply BenGmanUk. This game is a gem and quite a joy to play and get better at!

[@whitehairvillain36]

S makes you smash into things 🤭

[@jballs5434]

I feel like the ending music is a remix of the first level music. Eh??

[@usagijojo]

Amazing music, unique game mechanics, and super fast and responsive gameplay. Why was this Japan-only??

[@rogelioproa559]

a long story... when the NES took the american game market by storm, Nintendo executed very wild policies on third parties. Censoring contents on some titles, a long period of exclusivity on the NES and a limit of published games by year; the later to prevent any saturation of bad games, (a little bit ironic because LJN was kinda one of the analyzable companies) sure it worked... in a short term, however at long term, nintendo was inquired by unfair bussines practices. In the SNES, Nintendo relieved said practices but by the time they did those changes, it was too late, while many companies stayed with nintendo, some others like Namco were upset about these practices. Namco was pioneer, and because of this, had some special privileges, but it could also have been a case close to favoritism, the point is that when Namco's deal with Nintendo ended, Hiroshi Yamauchi announced that it was going to be treated like the rest of the companies and, obviously, NIntendo treated it as such and all the others equally. Masaya Nakamura panned Nintendo's behavior, so much that instead, he would support SEGA's mega-drive/genesis later, which eventually, said console received most of the better productions that namco developed for the home market in the 16-bit era. Leaving the SNES with very few Namco games. And this is most likely the story of why dangerous seed was a japan exclusive game.

[@kabutops87]

@@rogelioproa559 it had nothing to do with that. They probably didn't release it because the glut of shooters on the system already.

[@rogelioproa559]

@@kabutops87 Might be that too.

[@Bloodreign1]

@@rogelioproa559 Yeah, not a valid reason for no US release at all, the arcade version never left Japan as well, so the home port stayed a Japan exclusive.

[@NEILSINGH-mh3ub]

@@Bloodreign1 that's why you buy a sega megadrive or get an adaptor. my sega megadrive modded and plays North america/NTSC and EUR PAL as well Japan. paid $137 on ebay only thing is the sounds fuzzy not sure if the rf is crap or not that they included with the system.

vi sua msg depois de 7 meses kkkk mas joguei todos esses jogos aí, bons tempos, sinto falta da minha infância

[@Bloodreign1]

The best way to play these is on an original Model 1 of the MD, the Model 3 mangles sound beyond belief. On a Model 1, the sound is proper. Not to mention the Model 3 is incompatible with some MD games, as well as some Genesis games.

I played this game on my cousin's sega. This game is fun but also a nightmare. I know i was 8 or 10 at that time, but if i have the chance to play it today i will still struggling very hard.

The music wasn't scored by him, nor do I find any evidence that other composers (the game had at least 4 of them) used his sound drivers. This game used a sound driver that quite a few other Japanese games used, called SMPS Z80.

[@Bloodreign1]

While no Dragon Spirit, or Dragon Saber, it is still a good shoot em up from Namco, but a copy of the MD version sells for far too much money these days. I'd love to have it, but at the current rate of prices for it, that isn't happening.

Namco loved bug themed shooters, like the Galaga/Galaxian series, or the Cosmo Gang the Video shoot em up. Galaga Arrangement from arcades (and PS2) really showed off the true threat you faced, with several bug themed enemies you had to shoot down.
