All games have been emulated with MameUI, I have never used cheats, TAS or Tool Assisted either before or during the game, use only the SaveState.
-- What are MameUI? MameUI = Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator a program that enables your computer to function as the old arcade machines.
-- Where can I find the emulator and games? Go to Google and search MameUI and Roms.
-- What are Roms? The roms are the games.
-- What are SaveState? SaveState = Save the current state of the game an option available to anyone with the MameUI.
-- What do I need to make videos like yours? 1 - Any version of the MameUI emulator 2 - Your favorite video recorder 3 - Your favorite video editor
-- How can you not show the video when you make a SaveState? ;)
-- I saw that hit you and not die because? This is a side effect of SaveState limited only to the edges but the game still has to be completed with a capacity. You can try and see for yourself.
Same year as "Galaga". Taito at the time was just ripping off successful games. If I played this, it would have to be on mute. That is the worst screeching music loop ever.
They had this on machine in Majorca on my summmer holiday when I was about 10. Spent all the whole holiday pestering my parents to get 25c coins to play it
From the Phoenix Wiki - "A secret bonus on the arcade original only occurs during the first stage, which involves the player shooting three Phoenixes flying away at a diagonal within only two seconds, which nets a 200,000 point bonus" I did this once by a freak chance and was stunned. Totally broke my concentration, and I lost shortly after. Never repeated. 😆
I'm 55 years old and this was my favourite arcade machine as a kid. The intro tune takes me straight back to the amusement arcade in Smarts at Littlehampton a handful of 10p pieces and I was in heaven. Great memories, thanks for posting.
