What a terribly boring playthrough. I guess you could just pick Rogue and FLY through the entire level... OR you could pick a different character every level and make your playthrough videos a little more entertaining.
I'm sorry that you didn't like it but I was just playing though the game the same way I've done my entire life. Yeah, in hindsight maybe I shouldn't have flown though the jungle stage and actually played though it properly for the video but besides that, you only need a character that can double jump and shoot projectiles to beat this so that's what I always did.
Only really played Lemmings as an adult, I don't think I ever tried it without trainer as a kid. It's a lot more fun with the restrictions! One of the best games I ever played! Used to play the 2 player mode with a friend, what a laugh! Only great memories.
my favorite part of this game was stacking them between 2 wall and making them all explode to dig very big and deep holes. The other game I played a lot was Lode Runner. Thank you for sharing.
I remember having this game back as a kid & being so frustrated with the Sebastian Shaw fight because I couldn’t figure out how to defeat him. & one day I randomly figure out that he needs to be damage from the torches
I beat every boss in this game...EXCEPT SEBASTIAN FREAKIN' SHAW. I just couldn't figure him out no matter what hero I used or what tactic I tried to employ. Just kept absorbing my attacks (yes, I know that's his mutant power). I eventually gave up on this as a kid. Hey, I was only 11 lol. Well at least, after 30 years, I finally saw how to beat him. We didn't have the internet in the early 90's lol
That really does sound amazing for a standard STf (I found this looking for Protracker 2 on STe after falling down an ST tracker rabbit hole) - Paulo has made some incredible things on the ST. It looks a nightmare to use though :p
Yeah it's defiantly not as intuitive as Protracker but you get the hang of it. Paulo is an ST wizard and the stuff he has achieved on the ST is groundbreaking.
I remember having this game when I was young. There was little different between some of the characters powers but it was still entertaining. Storm was always my favorite character.
@@genblob I tried that back in the day. It didn't work, if I remember properly. Eventually your mutant power ran out because flying drained it. I probably was doing it wrong, I was just a kid haha
Do you have to beat the levels in a certain order to get all the characters/levels in the game? The Japanese temple lookin level and the one where you flew threw as Rogue didn’t show up for me?
@@odinnoah1340 Oh ok I never knew that. I used to play this game all the time as a kid and I couldn’t beat hardly any of it even on easy difficulty so I definitely never even tried it on hard so I never even knew there were other levels lol
Those extra colours are nice but most ST games feature beyond 16 colours .. the problem with games like this is the stodgy slow controls. Needs to be zippy lol Great video and it’s quite a good game too. You fought well!
Hi! Thanks for putting this demo online. I'm one of the coders of this demo (Nobody). I did the scroller: the font, the color animation and three borders syncs, the clone logo animation and the dolphin animation. Sadly, Maior Parvus is dead now, and I don't have any news from Menta. God (the third member) is still a very good friend of mine though.
That is very sad news but it's always amazing to hear from the people that wrote these demos so long ago. This was one of the demos that really got me into the ST because of how beautiful it is and well designed it is.
How in the heck was I supposed to know to lead Shaw to a fire trap and nut punch him to infinity and beyond? There were literally zero clues given (that I can remember from far to long ago). Literally the only boss fight I couldn't win and continue the game. Thank you for doing what I couldn't...well there is always that thing Nintendont doesn't like, yeah, imma go do that and actually beat this thing.
Even as a child I figured out that you just need to make him walk over the flames to hurt him. What kind of a scrub didn't eventually figure that out? I was 9-10 when this was purchased for me
This was a pretty good shmup which I remember was much hyped back then (mostly because of the "on the fly loading process") and it's indeed impressive technically but it would have been cool if we also got an enhanced STe version with added in-game music. Talking about music, someone needs to upload that intro tune because apparently it's nowhere to be found here on RU-vid. Anyway good thing that you got yourself a 1040STF! This capture is already very nice so I added it to my playlist "Atari ST the dawn of 16-bit gaming" because real hardware recordings are always much welcome. Keep up the good work man!
nastalgia is a powerfull thing so nothing to be sorry about even if some of the things we are nostalgic about are bad by today's standards. wene it becomes bad is wene companies remake games and people complain because it is not the exact same game. for example final fantasy 7 remake
I played sometimes this Game on my old Atari STE when I was child. Good title it reminds me The graphics of Hewson’s Exolon on Amstrad CPC or The futuristic universe of games like Dinamic’s « Game Over » or « Dark Star ». Cool 80s plateform/action Game when I also played other Titles like Flood, Wings of Death, Verminator, Weird Dreams, X-Out, Toki, Soldiers of Light, Artura, Fernandez must die etc. Today I have a 520 STf with some games in complete boxes and I’m glad to have them all. Good gameplay, nostalgic :)
I remember having this as a kid and using every character I had to try to hurt the muscle guy...slashes, lasers, punches and all he could do was laugh at me 😔
This is one of the first ST games that I ever played which was part of the compilation "Action ST Vol. I" that I got alongside my ST for Xmas 1988 and I LOVED it! A nice little action game with a certain arcade feeling to it. It plays well, offers a good challenge, has intriguing environments... It's quite addictive, especially once you get into its flow. But for some reasons you are missing all the items in your gameplay, like the arm extensor that you could find in the container @0:45. These make the game even better, more playable and satisfying. So far, the ST version is the only one that I played but watching some videos of the other versions, they seem good too but the ST version is more likely the best one. It has the nicest graphics (even though they don't take full advantage of the ST hardware) + it's the sole version that plays music during gameplay + it has the best pace (ZX Spectrum is very slow, CPC is a tad too slow whereas C64 is too fast).
@@genblob Hey man. A bit late but good to hear! It can be beneficial sometimes to reconsider some things. One game that I'd recommend right now is Bio Challenge. I got it a bit after that I got North Star back then. It's technically more advanced and has rather unique gameplay mechanics. It's a hard game to get into but worth the try IMO.
