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 !!!
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?
@@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...
@@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
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.
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.
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
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. 😎
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!
@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.
+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.
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
@@Jack21Spades Same actually! I could never remember what this games name was. But I could always remember that weapon room and the keys. Took till 2023 for me to see the name Data East and suddenly something clicked and said search for their game library. Better late than never!
Midnight Resistance is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and AMAZING arcade game with Sylvester Stallone as a soldier trying to save his family pick a weapon 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
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.
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
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."
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.
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 ...
Data East had a habit of making games too ambitious for the hardware they were developing the games for. Their ideas were good, but often caused slowdown in their arcade games.
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.
Actually, if you don;t save a family member, they will be missing from the end screen. In addition, for every family member you don't save, you will see a shooting star in the end screen (they all streak across the screen at the same time). Spent way too many quarters on this one, but it was worth every penny. Wish I had the stand up.
