Many people probably already know this, but Sunsoft once owned the rights to the 'Terminator' movie license and this game was originally intended to make use of the license. It's made apparent by certain enemy types (namely the final boss) and pieces of music that Sunsoft had been making progress with the original 'Terminator' concept. Sometime during development, though, they lost the rights and had to re-edit the game into what we have now. When you look at the abysmal NES Terminator game we DID get, one can't help but wonder what could've been had Sunsoft been able to retain the license.
But no matter...Journey to Silius is a very engaging and challenging run and gun game, and features some of the best music I've heard on the NES. You start off with a simple hand gun (which has unlimited ammo) and gradually build an arsenal of more powerful guns the further you progress in the game. Since your other guns are limited in ammunition, it's best to save them for the boss battles. You find occasional health and ammo pickups upon killing enemies and you'll be needing LOTS of both. Thankfully, Stage 4 was generous with health pickups. The final stage is unforgiving. There are no enemies, but as soon as you start, the screen will begin scrolling to the right and you have to keep up with it, all the while making your way over and through all the obstacles and pits to the end. This stage also requires precise timing in a few areas or you're dead. Make it as perfect as you can because there are no health pickups here and you have two final bosses to fight at the end. Good luck! ;) -

@kimmolaine8069 7 лет назад

Naoki Kodaka made the music for Sunsoft games. This, Batman, Fester's Quest, Blaster Master and Gremlins II have some of the best tunes for NES. Obviously highly influenced by metal.

Most nes & snes games had the best soundtracks.

@lambdatempest 4 года назад

the way they practically abused the sound hardware in the game. There is a chipset for sound effects and they used it for bass line

@64Abstract 4 года назад

Actually Journey To Silius didnt use the Sunsoft 5B. They use the 2A03 all for everything. Also the 5B didnt use for bassline. DPCM did.

@kikyoC 4 года назад

@DTM-Books 4 года назад

Such a terrific chiptune soundtrack. I often wondered why the people who made music for videogames weren't working in pop music instead. Whoever wrote this could have had a successful career as a pop songwriter. As for the videogame itself, Journey to Silius is excellent, another great example of late NES era titles that push the 8-bit hardware to its limits. It's pretty short and easy, one of those games where you can learn the boss battles and never get so much as a scratch. But that's perfectly fine since so many NES titles were brutally, torturously difficult.

@largadeugnt Год назад

Indeed, friend! Totally agreed.

@privatkatze9186 6 месяцев назад

Let's just be grateful that they did work in video games instead of pop music. 🎉 You never know if these people would have stood out as much without the limitations that early video games consoles imposed.

@thalee317 12 лет назад

Fun fact: In the times of developing "Journey to Silius", it was originally made as a "The Terminator" game. However, Sunsoft somehow lost the license. They later re-imagining the characters, the storyline, and the levels. Thus, Journey to Silius was born. Can you imagine if Sunsoft kept the license, it would've been one of the good games of NES plus a WAY BETTER Terminator game than the other one we actually had. Other than that, the music is still awesome. =D

FINALLY! I remember playing this game at an arcade in Mexico back when I was a kid in the early 90's. I moved to the US and never learned the name of this game. I only remembered bits and pieces of this game but after many years of trying to search for it, today I just happened to stumble upon this video. THANK YOU SO MUCH! This has brought an immense joy in my life today! =D

It’s worth a pretty penny. I just sold my copy of Shatterhand and I’m selling my copy of Silius as well. Just don’t really play them anymore and rather them go to someone that’ll appreciate them and also use the money for something that I’ll get more joy out of.

@meriQX 8 лет назад

Definitely one of the greatest game soundtracks of all time! If I hadn't played the fangame "Mushroom Kingdom Fusion" (there's a level based on stage 3 from JtS), I never would have discouvered this awesome game!

Interesting how they designed it so that the sound effects had a separate channel as to not interrupt the music, like what happens in Super Mario Bros. It's also an amazing soundtrack for an NES game.

@StarBoy62 9 лет назад

If Mindscape (the company who published that crappy NES game of the Terminator) didn't obtain the rights of the Terminator, the early 90's could've been the heyday for Sunsoft when they made other good movie-based games which are Batman and Gremlins 2.

@EYTPS 9 лет назад

+StarBoy62 I do think Rare's Nightmare on Elm Street is really good, but I wonder what would happen if Sunsoft made that game.

@StarBoy62 9 лет назад

+Dumi the Sandwich Sunsoft developed and released 2 NES games in the same year of 1990. Batman AND Gremlins 2. Journey to Silius was also released in 1990 but it was only published by Sunsoft. Silius is from the same creator as Blaster Master. So are you really saying that it would've been difficult for Sunsoft to handle three movie licenses in the same year despite Silius being developed by a different company?

While we talking movie based games, if Konami couldn’t get rights to Simpson’s, imagine what the games would’ve been like had sunsoft got rights. I mean, BTTF as well. Had SS got rights to the BTTF games, Simpson’s games, we would’ve had some good home games for these franchises.

I'm sure this is just unique to me but I have nothing but bad memories of this game because I got to rent it when I was like 5 or something and I remember being stuck on the third level and getting frustrated because it was too hard for me. I haven't thought about it since then and 26 years later I randomly remembered it and looked it up and now I'm ashamed of how bad I was back then. I just loved the music and the art so much I just had fun looking at the game even if I kept losing. This is true with a lot of games now that I think about it. Damn I'm a legit noob!

@Okazu84 4 года назад

@@shirayuri3950 You aren't mate, some NES games were simply too punishing and required too much involvement, and often times we just moved on to newer games getting released after being stuck for months or even more, and we usually never looked back at those. But you can absolutely beat it should you apply to it, but as we grow older our energy and time for this kind of stuff inevitably wears thin :( I got my revenge on several games likes that 20 years later lol

This game is overall very clean. It's got nice looking graphics, everything feels on point, and the soundtrack is one of the best on the system. With that said though, I'd be lying if I said that I play it very often. There's just something about it that's pretty repetitive overall, not to mention how insanely difficult it is!

Yes, search for Akumajou Densetsu. The japanese 72pin connection allowed the use of additional chips in the cartridge PCB, but the north-american 60pin cartridges made this impossible. That's why some features are only present in the japanese version of games. See CV3 for yourself.

sound effects are copy/pasted from fester's quest as well as blaster master (both sunsoft games). some parts of the soundtrack remind me of batman's ost on nes. this game has to be one of the best games for music on the system by far. too bad modern gen games have nothing catchy that we remember. just generic music, and that god-awful auto-tune going on, which i call photoshop for the singer/musician.

@VladNorris 10 лет назад
