I laughed at 18:25; "Thanks, bro!" Oh, Data East, why can't you guys make games again?

[@oggyiu]

Data East was a really good game developer

[@johndripper]

U r welcome

[@symorne]

I like this game a lot specially the rotating joystick

[@s.mendoza5705]

How did the controls work on systems like Genesis? I owned the arcade of this, well it was midnight resistance but inside of a time soldiers cabinet , I remember the joysticks rotated so u can point the gun in different directions but how would that work on sega Genesis?

[@nayyarrashid4661]

@@s.mendoza5705 the system where you don't have rotating joystick you have a button to rotate the 🔫... You have diffetent options for controls so you can customize how it works...

[@TheNomad2727]

@@nayyarrashid4661 thought that must be the case... as I bought a pandoras box that has a few thousand games on it, and games like this need one of those kinda joysticks, unfortunately its not on my console

[@VJFranzK]

also, Forgotten Worlds!

[@nayyarrashid4661]

​@@TheNomad2727You can buy a rotary joystick separately but you have to put it in the stick yourself.

[@spearPYN]

Probably the best Contra clone...loved it back in '89.

[@kateone82]

The final boss is an giant unmasked Robocop who heaves horseshoe aliens at you then vomits brain hair balls then morphs into Krang from TMNT....

[@TonyFounas]

Unmasked robocop? That's funny, I'm here because I was rewatching robocop 2.

[@Official_Cyberwolf_Ledgic]

Robocop 2 brought me here. “OFFICER DUFFY!” -Murphy/Robocop

[@WanderlustZero]

Weird how the final boss even looks a bit like Robocop :/

[@pd9163]

i did too came here after robocop2

[@edwardgaines6561]

Me three! Never noticed all that product placement in the movie as a kid. Next is Data East's _Sly Spy!_

[@Dantes903]

Could be the same face from Robocop, because Data East had the copy rigth of the movie 🙌😎 to do the video game, wich was cool..!

[@dsan558]

Same here...now I realize they r all data easts

[@qaanalyst]

"Pick a weapon." Loved this game!

[@MrLazarde]

This takes me so back

[@dethaddr]

SUPER power up!

[@samussv]

Como no he recibido ni un like ? , nadie lo ha jugado caballeros ????

[@supermariobro93]

The sounds the enemies make when they die crack me up a bit, heh. “OOT.”

[@SergeantPsycho]

Let me get this straight: bad guy captures good guy's family, fills his base with weapon lockers, gives his henchies the keys, sends them kill good guy with their bare hands and then taunts the good guy saying he'll kill him and his family after taking them prisoner and good guy still finds MORE weapon lockers at bad guy's base that only he can open? Video game logic at its finest. 😎

[@MegaMrJIN]

Exactly. This should've been made also in a movie.

[@nayyarrashid4661]

Aliens not bad guys

[@VJFranzK]

@@nayyarrashid4661 Human bad guys controlled by mutant mastermind

[@WanderlustZero]

He was probably a bit preoccupied with the surgery to turn himself into a giant bio-mechanical robocop head

[@AchtungBaby77]

It's a bit like how the bad guys in MacGyver always lock him in a storage room so he can construct something to escape, rather than just shooting him🤣

[@Tarman-Br]

In MAME on cell phone to be able to rotate the weapon. 1) Press "Coin" and "Start" to open the secret menu. 2) Go to the "Input (this game)" option. 3) Go to "Positional Analog Dec" option on controller P1 and press "B" to open the options, then press "C". 4) Go to "Positional Analog Inc" option on controller P1 and press "B" to open the options, then press "D". 5) If you want you can do it on controller P2 too. 6) If you make a mistake, press "B" and then press "Exit" to reset everything. 7) The game "Heavy Barrel" which is the predecessor of this game, has the same system of rotate the weapon.

[@ozvaldoz6683]

Me llevo 5 años en encontrar este exelente juego que jugue en el 91

[@birdfanboi]

the music on this game is badass

[@HowlingMoonCinemas]

+edek Yeah, you're right. It did sound a little better. The music for the Genesis version was more bright.

[@2482smitty]

Paul Contreras try the c 64 version.the best.

[@SirBuzz]

This is one of those very, very rare cases where the port sounds better than the arcade.

[@averageradiantreplays7702]

@Deedlit Who the composer was mate? Didn't really know she was a woman too.

[@RarefoilB]

14:22 Oh my god. I'm making that a meme.

[@vagledip5190]

where it is?

[@Heneggsboss]

🤣

[@mattischastan7967]

I was playing that on a cracked amiga version, in my youth. Despite infinite health and lives, it always felt like this game took entire days to finish. It was so intense, so creative, so full of sensations! Guuuuh, memories !!!

[@loungejay8555]

1:33 the memories of picking a weapon in this room all come flooding back.

[@mercymoguelin7835]

Que recuerdos...parece q fue ayer cuando le depositaba una ficha un juego inolvidable gracias por los recuerdos.

[@cmega1]

does anyone else remember the glitch where u could just lay or go prone under the tank at 3.41 and it would just die on its own. thank me later

[@TheQuarterGuy]

The final boss is named King Crimson. Let that sink in.

[@aviciisilva4957]

Es uno de los mejores juegos que yo jugué no cabe duda que ésos tiempo no regresarán noches nunca...

[@NachoContreras]

Un pinché juegazo 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@KishorTwist]

OG game from my care-free arcade-playing days!

[@samussv]

Nadie lo ha notado o nadie lo jugo en verdad, este gameplay de alguna forma esta en modalidad easy y se ve claramente que los enemigos tocan al personaje, yo solo lo jugue en arcada, de hombre, quisas eso sea la diferencia que veo.

[@FelixRovigo]

Final boss is one of the creepiest ever just like the final boss of China gate

[@aliahmadmah1140]

u r playing easy level.. so u didn't use nitro and super power ... whenever I played it , it was impossible for me to complete without nitro,homeo ,nitro ...

[@nayyarrashid4661]

True he is playing on easy level... I noticed right away when he killed the first tank easily

[@darkhorsedre]

Wow the memories! I was watching robocop 2 and paused the arcade scene - so many iconic games in there! This was one of them (along with bad dudes, sly spy and I think Shinobi) - played slyspy last night and will be playing midnight run later. Those gun shop voice samples are so

[@HugoLopezRosilles]

Me aventé todo el video.

[@nicolasfragapane1511]

Good game, this is very impressive

[@HowlingMoonCinemas]

+Nicolas Fragapane The best feature about the actual arcade version was that it had a kind of roto-dial directional stick that you could rotate around like a wheel and be able with it to fire in all directions.

[@Conan_the_Based]

I love the opening sequence. Dudes just running unarmed towards the jeep and dying immediately. Even the guys who come from behind... you think they're going to do something cool, but they just die when they touch the back of the jeep too.

[@bluelimosine]

Anyone else here because of Robocop 2?

i'm here cuz i heard of contra-mania

[@tuxysmagicaljukebox5431]

I am

[@stephenarmstrong4249]

You know the score haha

[@antonizaccardelli4215]

Yup...

[@brandondavidson3995]

Incredible game!! A few things 1 - Some of those enemies are running towards the main characters with no guns at all which is insane 2 - The game becomes easy enough for six year old girls once the main character has super powered up fire

[@Jayce_Alexander]

Data East were one of the greatest arcade developers of all time.

[@Bloodreign1]

A lawsuit Capcom got laughed out of court for, and promptly lost.

[@sandykelser7219]

Even thought it may be a Contra"clone",Fantastic music,great power-ups,makes it it's own game.

[@Dearjohn999]

Omg.....I remember this game I use to play it on the C64 with a tape deck....lots of memory’s....loved it

[@strideryoko]

Thats one beast ass suspension 7:11

[@happyisforever]

The difficulty is too low for you, I remembered when I was young, you needed more bullets to kill the boss.

[@Xesphere]

This game is pretty similar to Heavy Barrel, this is the prequel/sequel or something like that?

[@lucasmr3215]

it is a sequel

[@tuxysmagicaljukebox5431]

How is it a sequel? The gameplay is completely different!

[@darrenclements6028]

Midnight Resistance is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and AMAZING arcade game with Sylvester Stallone as a soldier trying to save his family pick a weapon 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@WanderlustZero]

NITRO!

[@SonySteals]

I was looking for this game for 20 years. Thanks!

[@NosDemonic]

When you were a kid and you thought the keys were lollipops...

[@vmexplorer]

Thanks for posting! My go to options in the arcade was the 3-way gun but emulators don't allow the ability to move the gun around making it really hard to play. The arcade game had an 8-way joy stick that made this game awesome. I like how you chose options to make an area easier, example the Nitro add in is a good option for the missing 8-way joystick. I've been trying to find a way to make this game playable with emulators with out the 8-way, and watching this helped!

[@vmexplorer]

@ciaran perry Great Question. I've used the MAME emulator for quite a while. Never found a way to enable the 8-way joystick but maybe I should look again.

[@Omniblade_Gaming]

Genesis port you’re able to shoot in a 360

[@dalaxdercrisper957]

blindjustice316 Arcade can do it too. Using 8 way controls joystick

[@JayLawson]

Angrilly yelling at you: PICK A WEAPON!

[@Paul_Henshall]

Awesome game, had hours of fun on this machine.

[@arielcordoba6603]

re bizarro el boss final ajjjajaa, esta bueno el juego

[@sausageslaps]

played this game in the arcade, found out the bosses don't die no matter how much you shoot them, all timers so they die no matter if you hit them or not

[@Scripture-Man]

I had this on the ZX Spectrum and it was really good. Until today I had no idea it was an arcade conversion! :)

[@Holydude]

weird how the shotgun fired whole shells

[@jimk4213]

Music so cool Wish i could relive those childhood memories

[@SpiralPegasus]

It's amazing how much better the Genesis / MD port sounds compared to this

[@Bloodreign1]

The Data East sound guys did a pretty good job on this game, though the Genesis port had the luck of having Hitoshi Sakimoto doing the soundtrack for it.

[@georgeshelton6281]

Now I know that it's a 1989 release. This video game is a combination of "Victory Road," the Apple lle video game called "Clyde 1," the online computer video game called "Blue Shift," the Rated Mature video game called "Narc," the 1990 Williams Electronics video game called "Smash TV," and the 1993 apple lle video game called "Bio Menace."

[@masa-12345]

いつも3面でやられたなぁ。お上手。

[@holidayinn4293]

14:24 lol. Is that supposed to be a person? That's that goofy thing you fight at the end I guess.

[@mariofrancisco5188]

Con todo respeto para el qué jugo y subió el video, pero yo claramente recuerdo que en este juego los enemigos no se morían tan rápido, hay algún mod o algo pero no era tan sencillo

[@ChaoYun]

8:06 the fact that one guy took out a whole fleet of fighter jets in less than 2 minutes is...wasteful of tax dollars

[@WaseemEmbroideryExpert]

I have download this game but one problem fire is front man at not gun move Up Down Crose. back Crose can Help Any Man This Problem ?

[@allnamesaretakenful]

Bad Guy: Keep coming and you family die. Dad: Fuck them kids. The game is clearly meant for children, because it doesn't make sense. If the bad guy shows the family getting pieces cut off, he'd stop unless he really hates them.

[@RaidenScornEmpire]

0:31 Snake and Liquid Oo

[@Shahid9522]

What a shame that you are playing on easy, this game is no fun on easy. Bare minimum is to on normal

[@amanloop]

That's definitely in easy difficulty, bosses die way to easily, especially the very last one, with those weapons? Way too quick.

[@batlin]

The C64 port of this was pretty playable!

[@isyt1]

The arcade had perfect smooth scrolling. This is jerky. Not a real arcade version, must be emulated

[@charlesajones77]

A "shotgun" that fires single bullets?

[@senseydk]

el fire con super power up hace del lanza llama un triple lanza lanzal llamas muy poderoso 😲😬😲

[@ArvelleWhitaker]

Thhaaanks BrooooO!

The best weapon 3 Way Fire Nitro Homing Missile Barrier Super power up

[@danfrunza3557]

With all the cogs in the game, it should have been called COG (Call of guns)

[@marioramirezgonzalez5371]

No manches parece que estoy viendo tele risa y tz azteca por tanto anuncio

[@CinAndersson]

music sounds slow for some reason

[@Bloodreign1]

Data East was always ambitious, often times overambitious and their hardware couldn't quite run their games (and ideas) without some hiccups. More powerful hardware was needed to run games that Data East were making.

[@himbuxterrafux9525]

"Officer Duffy, have a seat!"

[@TravonJamelGreen]

(Robocop pushes Duffy in the arcade cabinet called midnight resistance)

[@antm6970]

19:33 scary sound effect "rraahhhh"

[@xylsky1300]

They couldn't get women for the voices so it was dudes too? Lol

[@Sorter_123]

The soundtrack of stage 2 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩.

[@alexmorpheus6762]

Wow!! The arcade version is so much better.

[@RobertKangchristianunix]

This was indeed a fantastic game, but about 60% of the "Enemies" have no weapon at all. They just run towards the main character(s) barehanded. Does not sound really fair at all. And next, once you have Fire + Super Power Up, the game becomes easy enough for 5 year old girls to play.

[@Godzillafan1980]

Has this game... easy as fuck to play through

[@mudassirgreat]

You didn't pick Super Power at all. Are you kidding me??👏👏👏 I played this game 100s of times. Was never able to finish without picking up super power.

[@Tarman-Br]

Esse cara tá jogando na dificuldade fácil. Basta ver que ele destruiu o primeiro tank em menos de 10 segundos. Eu tava jogando agora pouco no meu celular via MAME e na dificuldade normal demora bem mais para destruir ele. Na dificuldade difícil tem que dar uns 300 tiros. Sem falar na parte das 3 engrenagens que é muito difícil. 😨😨😨

[@georgeshelton6281]

Was this video game a 1987 release? I see no release date. I know precisely what's missing.

[@djhaynes99]

It was released in 1989

[@RodrigoOrlov-om2ql]

Amazing game outstanding ❤

[@OuroborosChoked]

With those vertical stages, it's a shame this wasn't revived for the DS. Seems like it would've been the perfect platform for a sequel or remaster.

[@Nemesisworks]

We want a remake now, I bet it would sell beteer than Resident Evil.

[@joelverdier2555]

Very much like contra, I bought the Japanese mega drive version for my genesis, back in 1990

[@dsan558]

All the heavy Barrel sound effects

[@Wolfdragon92584]

Man, the Genesis conversion replicated this soundtrack almost to a T. Too bad the graphics were substantially darker with a lot less detail.

[@iGolgo13]

God, I hate this game ! What slowness and raw colors !

[@poloskier1967]

I still remember playing this in the arcade. In the 90's. It was really slow paced, but still fun.
