Metal Black Longplay (Arcade) [QHD]

[@fhistleb]

The first levels music struck a chord with me. Its starts depressing as you fight amongst the remnants of earth and then as you fight back with our last weapon hope shines through.

[@PamirTea]

2:30 That carrier hermit crab was just checking out what's up and got his carrier destroyed😭

[@revivesyourgolder3130]

I love how the bosses also use the weird molecule like particles to their advantage, and they are not something that just benefits the player like other games

[@josiarome12]

for an old game im amazed by the quality of this game,it has different feels from the other shoot em up games.The world and the lore seems connected with elder beings rather than some alien,this entity connected with human existence itself

[@josiarome12]

also the soundtrack is a banger

[@lucasmr3215]

Looks amazing for a 1991 title!

29:05 Random space cat out of nowhere

[@simonebernacchia5724]

Random space BIONIC eye cat - was he the overlord?

[@Grand_Master_Aries]

Shrodinger's Cat.

[@vukcevu5854]

It's not random. It's the Destroyer of the worlds!

“最終平和兵器。戦闘準備完了。僕らはもう、引き返せない。“

The translation to 영어 is very bad, and makes me laugh.

[@ばにたす-g7x]

@@camulodunon ???

[@camulodunon]

@@ばにたす-g7x the opening intro scene has bad English translation

[@MysteryEzekude]

Rough translation: "The Ultimate Peace Weapon is now ready for battle. There's no turning back for us."

[@Sunyerid2482]

One of the forgotten masterpieces made by taito... Also that "pow up" thing also appears in one taito-made shooting game I don't remember...

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

Lots of the ideas in G Darius are in this game but its like a 'rough version'. Its cool to see what Taito could do with just some rudimentary scaling FX

[@CyberLink70]

Space Invaders Infinity Gene?

[@IanPeon]

An epic shooter with an intro funnier than Zero Wing!

[@pretzel6629]

i find this game existentially horrifying not funny lol

[@teddysaurus97]

This final boss should have also be part of Dariusburst CS aside with Great Thing and Gigantic Bite. Could be a third dreadnought class boss

[@MysteryEzekude]

If the final boss of Metal Black were to make a guest appearance in Dariusburst, it'll most likely be even trippier remade in high defnition!

[@stuntpope]

Betweeb this and the Darius series, someone at Taito really didn't like sea creatures/crustaceans

[@JuanMendoza-qd5lm]

I just subbed for the impressive run... Bravo👏

[@bricefunk146]

This game is wonderful !!!

[@KarlSturmgewher]

Trying to clear this game without using continues on Switch will be a challenge.

[@JuanMendoza-qd5lm]

Its inconceivable to me that this was a Deathless Run🫣🤯

[@agreedboarart3188]

So this is what the gaming gods created before blessing the world with Darius Gaiden.

[@simonebernacchia5724]

Darn, they did smoke good stuff at Taito in the 90s!

[@MysteryEzekude]

...Or maybe they were huge fans of Stanley Kubrick and Pink Floyd. I mean, the second stage of this game is literally named after a lyric in "Shine On, You Crazy Diamond"(!)

[@LoppinLazy]

Best credits theme of all time

[@gerardojuarez6758]

Visualmente es impresionante para le época 👌👌

[@kerbal666]

I'm certain that some of the bosses roar like is from a monster in a Godzilla film

[@JuanMendoza-qd5lm]

Does anybody else notice the Red Alert Siren is the exact same Stock Sound they used for the T Rex in Taito's dinosaur game "Dino Rex"!😂

[@FredsFeedandSeed]

The same team that worked on this game also worked on Dino Rex, and Gun Frontier.

[@infernonine]

Just got released by hamster arcade archives for the switch and other systems instant buy

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

True dat I got Metal Black and TWISTED METAL.......... BLACK!!!!!

[@jasonmartinez5116]

Xbox and PC got the Saturn version through the S-Tribute line by City Connection. Switch and PS4 were supposed to get that version too but they were cancelled because Switch and PS4 had the pre-existing ACA version

[@PiroKUSS]

@@jasonmartinez5116Is the ACA version better than the Saturn version?

[@nosotrosloslobosestamosreg4115]

A very strange final boss and ending.... 2001?

[@MysteryEzekude]

You know, I think this game was indeed inspired by that movie. Why else would this game's "story" and atmosphere become increasingly surreal and psychedelic up to the end?

[@elenaantoinettetrout1]

BRUH WHY IS THERE A CAT???? IT CAUGHT ME SO OFF GUARD MAN I CANT 🤣

[@turek76]

Gun Frontier is so much better ...

[@lucasmr3215]

I agree!

[@KarlSturmgewher]

Gun Frontier has a moment of truth moment at the end.

[@nobodytonobodysbusiness]

Not so sure I agree. Both are much better than what they get credit for. Both are definitely unique and the sound in both is killer.

[@Crcvmbdfl]

Now both are together in the physical release for the Switch "Taito Milestones 2" 😃

[@smoothness69]

Great job recording this in 1440p but it would look so much better if scanlines were turned on.
