SNES Playthrough [001] U.N. Squadron - No Damage

UN Squadron Playthrough, No Damage, Using Pilot Mickey.
Played by Snesnes:
I used mickey in this run because he can hold more special weapons when you find the hidden ammo power ups. If you want to play with Shin that's fine, she can build her normal weapons up faster and Greg can recuperate very fast. In this run I will show you were every hidden object is and more. The video quality isn't the best but I'm working on that to so stay tuned.

[@sevxone]

music in this game was so great

[@LuigiLaitinen]

Yes, it was (and ALWAYS will be).

[@itzbebop]

still one of my favorite openings in video game history.....that music is just phenomenal

[@intothesun00]

31:10 thru 33:55 That is some MAJOR surgical precision, my friend. Especially during the boss fight. Well done!

[@TheyreStillOutThere]

Fond memories of the astronomically slow frame rate during heavy gunfire. And this soundtrack still totally holds up.

[@xepicxyoshix5982]

I still listen to the music, just beautiful

[@phenix370]

Absolutely unreal dude. My 8 year old self still has his jaw on the floor. :P

[@barricade8957]

I prefer the original Japanese name/release for this game: Area 88. And all the pilots are mercenaries, with some of them there against their will. But its either shoot down the other guys, or your own superiors will put a bullet in your head when you land, plus there's a remote-detonated bomb under the ejection seat if you try to run for it.

[@shane1489]

Wondered what the 88s were all about

[@mumzeelewis2067]

This was my favorite game back in the day. I think this one was the catalyst for my son's internship year's later with America's Army.

[@allclassallthetime4739]

Mumzee Lewis that’s a great story! Thank you and your son! So he played this for a recruiter and was impressed?

[@cameraman1234567890]

Fantastic game. Definitely felt ahead of its time especially for 1989.

[@AllrightNOR]

Wasn't 1989 tho

[@cameraman1234567890]

@@AllrightNOR The SNES version no, that was released in 1991. The original Arcade Version has been out since 1989.

[@DjayJohn]

Cant believe I watched the whole thing

[@brandonpiatt5625]

Little late to the party but same boat. I remember playing this a ton at my cousin’s house when we were kids and I’ve been trying so hard to find the game the last couple months. Finally FINALLY found it and couldn’t stop watching. What an awesome snes game that really isn’t talked about much. Seriously what a gem

[@FOOLK1LLAH]

This was the first game where I started noticing how good BGM can be. This game brings back very good memories.

[@thatcokestuff]

Same!

[@ProSimex84]

Oh man that system lag, brought me right back.

[@seanh9037]

The boss fights were no joke in this game. This guy makes them look easy but they were so intense and difficult.

[@LombardixXx]

I love this game's music. Holy shit xD

[@MDthornton83]

Its quite impressive.

[@khatharrmalkavian3306]

SNES had some of the most beautiful soundtracks. It was a great time to be alive.

[@Vednier]

SNES version have much better music then Arcade version, nonlinear level order but arcade version have little more impressive last level and not identical overall. Its worth watching too.

[@allaces14400]

Listen to sixteeninmono's remix of stage three. You're welcome. :0

[@seanmcc09]

6:00 the track the beat for 'Chocolate Rain' was taken from

[@SirCraigius]

This was one of the first games I owned for the SNES. I loved it so much! It was a hard game, but it was so much fun I kept wanting to play it till I beat it.

[@yayavie]

Probably one of the best game I've ever played in my life, I was only 9 or 10 but it was so cool... the musics are awesome btw. Thanks for bringing back memories mate ;)

[@pattrell5257]

This dude is ubertalented. I use almost every weapon that I can afford in almost every battle. This guy hardly uses anything. Incredible! One secret is--on the green truck levels, you do not need any weapons at all and you can build more money like that, too. You can ram through them shooting the whole time; believe me; you will not get out. You will flash red, but you will not get out. You can defeat them in 2 passes like this without spending any money.

[@ingolds420]

Man, I miss being a kid, drinking cool aid and playing this game all day.

[@Mercy01983]

This is a CLASSIC i remember playing this game when i was little it came out when i was 6

[@brandynhenry7107]

Man, the UN is cheaper and more broke in this game than in real life. Three pilots, and the dudes' gotta buy their own weapons from some old underground crazy prepper dude. Step your defense budget game up UN.

[@eustacequinlank7418]

Nobody is interested in your politics, fuck off.

[@madmanszalinski]

Underground preppers have the best shit, man. If we really did have T-Lazers, you think we'd have spent ten years going through caves in Central Asia?

[@milkcarton6654]

thats without mentioning they have you fly an F-8 which was ancient even in 1989. In fact the US navy retired it in 1976 and the Naval reserve, in 1987.... It's one of the early american fighter jets.

[@milkcarton6654]

to be fair though, it's originally based on a Manga called Area 88 (also the name of the game in japan) and they are not in the UN. It's a mercenary force operating from a base called....area 88.

[@Vednier]

They mention they mercenary in game too, in Wolfpack mission.

[@XFolf]

Mega nostalgia watching this. This was not an easy game, at least to me (I was never great at it). Good job on this!

[@arduiscane]

Two things. 1 - You play like a God, I can't do this well, this is incredible to watch. 2 - Level 3 was hilarious. As soon as the dingy boats show up it's like, nope, you don't get to play.

[@philipandersson1120]

I just love the music in this game, it's so damn catchy :)

[@Georgie_B_]

Manami Matsumae is a genius! I had the pleasure of making the song 'Dusktone' with her :)

[@MDthornton83]

I agree. Some of the best video game music I've heard in an SNES game.

[@DeathBringer769]

Seems like a lot of Capcom games had consistently good music back then.

[@LuigiLaitinen]

@@DeathBringer769 Oh gosh, yes!

[@TheV8nissan]

Precious memories of playing this with my dad when I was 4-5. Military and aircraft mechanic all these years later missing my childhood 😢

[@DJConaD]

This is my long lost play through for anyone who wishes to know. I cant find the login details for this account but will be creating a similar one soon. For those who wish to know I recorded everything you see as it happens. I did however use a turbo controller and the famous snes slow down.

[@KelsonArwhi]

As it's a "no damage" run (and not a "no hit" run), I would imagine any hits taken while shielded don't count.

[@TimelordR]

Not bad for an jet jock. Most people don't bother playing with Mickey, usually opting for Shin. Again, great job!

[@MrJoelGoodsen]

What an awesome game this is. I've played it thousands of times over the years, but I've never come anywhere close to not getting hit. And I thought I was good at this game, lol. What you've done here is unbelievably impressive! Well done! :)

[@marlonrichardson9390]

I can still hum this whole soundtrack

[@thatcokestuff]

Same! Was the first game I really ever liked the music to!

[@holdengreen2151]

Wow, they got Lloyd Bridges to be the weapons guy.

[@geraldcollins7103]

Greg gates all day. true pilot. he is my favorite

[@reggieking1045]

This was one of my favourite games as a kid. I remember finishing it then immediately starting again and again until i was sick to death of it but it wasn't long before i went back to it. I wish they would release it on ps4 with a graphics upgrade.

[@Cparker8]

One of my all time favourite games. The music leading up to the bosses is always suspense!

[@riomp300]

4:14 Needs some Blast Processing :)

[@Lephtknught]

That moment on level 3 where your plan does a u-turn for the first time. That was future tech. Mind was blown as a kid.

[@edgecruz4832]

I always watch my brother and cousins play this game! This game was our childhood!

[@vampylass3848]

Shin: sweet but tragic. Mickey: cocky but funny. Greg: charismatic but wise.

[@somecunt6390]

The best snes game, unfortunately I’ll never get to play it again

[@SNAKES600]

i love this game and its music. i could never beat it though. it was so freaking hard.

[@sniffindrawz]

Whoa, I remember this! I also remembered lending it to a friend and he never returned it.

[@gurvmlk]

Weird, because I once borrowed the game (and still have it) from somebody, and never got around to returning it because he never asked for it back. The guy wasn't so much a direct friend though, as much as the brother of one of my brother's friends that I met a handful of times.

[@AWDfreak]

LOL same here, my younger brother borrowed the U.N. Squadron SNES cartridge from one of his friends and the guy moved out of the area like a year later xD

[@gurvmlk]

I suppose that's simply the fate of every copy of U.N. Squadron. Moral of the story: Nobody who owns U.N. Squadron today bought it when it first released. They either bought it used later on, or borrowed it from somebody forever.

[@lazlohere]

@@gurvmlk Me too :)) I can't believe you guys too... lent it to a classmate 15 years ago... needless to say we're no longer classmates, never got it back

[@thatcokestuff]

Wow I just posted how I got this game from a friend way back haha

[@SNAKES600]

man i wish they would put this on the snes mini when it comes out

[@IgnatiusAlpha]

Very impressive. Makes me want to play this again.

[@maverick88005]

Dayum you're good!! And I didn't realize how hard it was to kill the minks (the battleship). I was Greg Gates all the time though, never Mickey maybe he has a better firepower level up or something.

[@Slickman2006]

That darn battleship trips me up every time, real hard even with Napalm. I can only beat it with a level 6 shooter.

[@michaelstratford5895]

Masterfully done sir! I think I had a hard time with this game because I wasn't as liberal with my special weapons as you were. I would always try to beat the first three levels without buying any weapons to try and save money.

[@kapikingpooky2619]

Why is it Elrond of Rivendell who give you the missions?

[@atious]

incredible playthrough. thanks for posting this. really!

[@BrothaPriah]

that fucking battleship.....

[@flskim906]

This game is the definition of my childhood.

[@JordonTheReesemannhotmailcom]

This was my 2nd snes game Ii got for christmas man old school memories I think im going to pop this game in this weekend and give it a play

[@axlevernight5982]

This is what they showed G.W. Bush as footage from Iraq.

[@MrMtz817]

Axl Evernight lol u crazy bro

[@bboy1481]

😂😂😂😂

[@madmanszalinski]

jeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus lol

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

My favorite shoot-em-up game of all time!

[@LuigiLaitinen]

Mine too.

[@Chazzvc]

an easy way to cheat the game is to camp the air craft carrier for money by sitting in one spot after killing the 4 missile launcers and the closest aircraft port. from what i can tell you also get a free life at 30k 100k 250k 400k 550k points, probably every 150k after 100k

[@omegasupreme5527]

Another easy way to cheat the game is any level you know where a hidden extra life is grab it and collect all the pow's possible. Then suicide and repeat. That's why I never used this pilot and always chose Greg.

[@1Tim2man1]

For me it was when I was able to buy a turbo controller that I started rocking the daylights out of this game...after all these years it is still a favorite of mine to play...especially on a 60-inch screen!

[@ireniosalazar3404]

Music brings back memories

[@thatcokestuff]

I love this game so much! Reminds me of my childhood. Could never find it again tho. I would love when the game would slow down due to the number of enemies on screen. Always thought that was cool haha

[@IvanDal92ry2]

super awesome Snesnes !

[@Jean-Baptiste_Cousin]

Meilleur jeu vidéo de sa génération.

[@chriscich]

I used to play this game all the time when SNES came out. Brings back memories. But as an adult and a member of the military, I am amused at things like Desert Carriers, unrealistic sized tanks, underground bases that airplanes can fly though. Project 4 must have a multi trillion dollar defense budget. Some of those weapon systems are pretty badass though. We need Mega Crush in real life.

[@lucaisho680]

Those are legit skills - kudos

[@marcandrenadeau]

your cave level run is perfect! that damn boss....

[@cronobolt]

For everyone who thinks that the shield "magically" comes back into existence after it's gone, he indeed has it the whole time once he picks it up, and the shield lasts until the player has taken 3 hits. The reason it looks like it disappears early is because this video is not at the full 60 fps, and the shield animation blinks at a fast rate so sometimes when watching footage at less than 60 fps it will look like the shield is not there.

[@shane1489]

God mode switch flipped right before my eyes... very impressed. This was the game I always played and died quickly then it was onto something more to my skills like Mario Paint😂

[@retroplayez2175]

😆

[@Dilo_Jaan_Se]

I truly loved playing this game

[@forrestreed9350]

I have legit listened to the soundtrack to this game while at work before. Got some WIERD looks. But I love it so much

[@canadianturfsandwich1258]

a fine addition to my snes mini!

[@brianharman4622]

sick game haven't played it in years

[@spindalis79]

My friend and I rented this in late 1991 along with Actrasier before I received my actual SNES for the holidays.

[@ragincajunstud]

2:57 Love that victory tone

[@theroseexperience]

One of the greats!

[@-cynicpsychic-7275]

When I played at age 9 I couldn't get past the canyon stage I think. Right around there. My dad and I loved this damn game!

[@ingolds420]

Loved this game....

[@eustacequinlank7418]

Sometimes I was actually thankful for the lag, I just told myself it was just "slow motion"

[@gurvmlk]

Lag is a good thing in older games. Sure, it makes your character move slower as well, but it gives the player more time to react to what's happening, and allows for easier positioning to evade incoming obstacles. I honestly don't see why people complain about slow down in older games when it serves as an aid to the player.

[@MarxasThomas]

gurvmlk especially​ in the dog fight stages, this game is brutal at times!

[@gurvmlk]

True, but referring to it as lag is just quicker, and simpler.

[@khatharrmalkavian3306]

+Milk Carton - Yes it is and no it doesn't. Lag means "to fall behind" and was a term used long before the internet was a twinkle in ARPA's eye.

[@NeoSigma18]

God, this game's music resembles Mega Man X2/X3's. Glad they used the same sound. :)

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

There is a link between this game and the _Mega Man_ series: composer Manami Matsumae. She also composed for _1943: The Battle of Midway_ and _Legendary Wings_.

[@jollyroger2012]

awesome game... one of the best

[@LuigiLaitinen]

Yep.

[@mr.alaska5824]

My favorite all time gaming music was from this game. I was 12-13 at the time. Right around early 90s late 80s. Level 3 was my favorite music.

[@AnGeR4Dead]

Why does a shield show up magically sometimes? You can get a shield by an Unicorn upgrade but not from nothing I think or ¿I miss something?

[@gurvmlk]

My guess would be that he just knows the locations of the power ups so well that he's right on top of them as they spawn.

[@beethao9380]

I remember owning the guide/cheat book in 4th grade. It was among the selection of free books.

[@JCOrochinagi]

Ahem Shin is a man xD anyway cool gameplay! old School FTW!!! \m/

[@mikeyjvasquez]

So I understand why the pros like Micky so much. Micky gains double the ammunition when he gets that secret extra ammo. 4 mega crushes is very helpful in defeating the end boss and also having the ability to shoot the special top gun and shoot at the same time is a must when you want to defeat the cave boss in hard mode. This guy is legit and a pro! I can almost beat the game in hard mode now. I've been studying this guy alot. thanks for the tips man. keep on making great vids!

[@mikeyjvasquez]

P.S. Fuck the cave boss!!!!!!!😭😭😭😭

[@mikeyjvasquez]

Holy shit I just beat the cave boss in hard mode for the first time. I used Shin last time and I died because he can shoot the the two guns at the same time. Micky rocks!!!😂😂😂

[@mikeyjvasquez]

I just beat the game in hard mode!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm crossing this off my bucket list. Thanks again man I can finally go to sleep now and brag about it tommorow to my brothers who could never get this far when we were young. now I'm the grand master. lol

[@TELEDRMUNDO]

Nice!

[@paperandpavement]

Michael Vasquez try gamer mode bro! The sub level is night and day compared to hard mode. Like you're dodg ing bullets the whole time going thru small spaces and coming out surprised at what you pulled off.
