NGH-024: Last Resort - Neo Geo Generation | Basement Brothers | Neo Geo Collection 

The cart soundtrack has that distinct early 90s Neo vibe.

I love Last Resort Alec. I think it was a fantastic game for the Neo-Geo. I have the English version for the AES and the Japanese version for the NGCD. Great way to end my weekend right seeing you in action and discussing video games bro. 8^) Anthony..

I have a huge Poster of Last Resort hanging framed in my gameroom. I never played the game, but its promotional art had to be displayed in my gameroom. Now i see where Devil Engine got its design inspiration from.

Your best video so far Alec. What you’re doing is really important and you’re doing an amazing job. Can’t wait for the next one. And you got it totally right about this game.

I've been checking the Chanel almost everyday for months now to see if this dropped. Excited to watch it tonight. I got the 2all on this game last month for the first time.

That one particular enemy is a straight-up Hygogg from Gundam.

Troy McClure's "what the hell" made me laugh so hard that it woke up my wife.

Oh heck yeah, a great shooter for the legendary Neo.

Jam that pod in there! Love it

This is really breathtaking! This channel is loaded with so much quality content. Thank you so much for sharing tate, gosh I mean mate (damn too late...) Warm regards ;)

I have it on CD! I love the arranged Redbook OST! Fun fact: most NeoGeo CD games can be played in either a car stereo, or a hi-fi surround sound! I recommend it!

I always enjoy this video series whenever a new episode is released. Keep up the great work!

Great video as always, the best series about the Neo Geo on the internet

I just got this game for my Neo Geo CD after watching this video and while I’m finding it really hard, I gotta say I love it! You guys are my favorite gaming channel on RU-vid especially for how thorough these videos are; and I just gotta say I appreciate how much I’ve learned about my favorite hobby from your videos

Nice review! Facts straight from SNK, this game was in development before neo home release. 5 years in development! Was going to be a launch title! This was the hardest game for SNK to develop at the time. Was scraped completely, then picked back up!

The 'tate' joke cracked me up, not gonna lie.

Cant wait one of the few english aes releases i own.

=D Loving the series of reviews =D

Funny how later SNK got mixed up with Akira again when they designed K9999 as a direct copy of Tetsuo, got in trouble and canned the character, only to recreate someone else with the same moveset and called it Nameless, and now they've done it again with Krohnen. Those guys sure love Akira

Last Resort is a masterpiece shmup. It is a jewel in the Neo Geo library and a must have for the SNK enthusiast. Great review. I never knew about the prototype before.

Great video/review. Love Last Resort and can't wait until you get to some of the even more impressive shmups on the system. Cheers.

I am so happy that you release another video in this series. Every one has been a big treat so far. Thanks a lot!

been waiting a long long time for this. Thanks!!

Great game. Just bought this game for the xbox one along with Blazing star and Pulstar.

Excellent review on this awesome game. Thanks Alec, great job, Looking forward for more to come. Cheers from Germany

These are the best NeoGeo video reviews that I've watched. Awesome writing & editing plus the fact that Neo Geo CD differences are always a part of the review makes these an indispensable tool for me.

One of my favorites! Awesome job man!

I had Last Resort as a teen in the early 90s on AES. Me and my friend tried back then to complete it but never was good enough. I did not know you had to play through twice for a good ending!?! Keep up the good work, these reviews are great and I always look forward to the next one.

Great review of a great game. Your Neo Geo reviews are some of the best I've seen on RU-vid. Interesting to hear about the differences between the released version and the prototype. I used to own this on AES and NGCD but ended up selling them. Still enjoy playing it on Mame.

Love this game. Can't wait.

Yay, it's back! I always really enjoy these retrospectives, and i'm curious to hear about Eightman next, seeing how that got skipped on ACA Neogeo for whatever reason (licensing, maybe?)

Awesome as always man :)

Nice, finally a good game for you to review haha. I was surprised when I learned how early this game was released in the neo geo life. It is way beyond anything else on the system at the time.

Great video content dude because i have this game and didn't like it until this video so now i'm happy that i play it 👍✌.

Another great episode man 👍

Awesome review. For me, the cart version of the soundtrack is much better, fits the game's atmosphere with its industrial/rock/synth style, percussions are louder too. Also, that part on stage 2 where it gets filled with bullets, just use the red pod, charge it and it will destroy enemies up and down.

I love the most when we talk about the developers and who made what outside of that game. I wonder if there is interviews of those guys anywhere ? Well, very good work !

Last Resort. 45 Megs for the Neo*Geo. A poor man's R-Type, heavily influenced by R-Type, though brutal in its game play with pattern memorization through it's 2 loops difficulty length. It's truly one of the best side scrolling shooters for the Neo*Geo.

Great editing and writing as always. I especially liked the part about the prototype, never heard of it. The only doubt I have is about your walkthrough : I know the game pretty well (1cc the first loop) and imho you don't use the charge shot enough. It would keep you away from trouble with the turrets in stage 2 if you had the ground unit. Neither does the stage 3 boss last long with the charge shot, in fact I've never seen it moving until today ! For me a relentless yet wise usage of the charge shot is the key to success in Last Resort ;)

Great job. I always look forward to these videos and learn a lot. Keep it up! You are doing a phenomenal job.

Great review 👏

I've never really played any shooters until I recently played this game and thought it was super hard. If I have the time I'd like to give it another go.

Awesome review! I spent a lot of time getting the 2 loop 1 cc last month and got to know the game really well but I haven't played the prototype or the CD version. Next time I play through it I will give those a try. Thanks for the psa, I didn't even know the prototype existed. I noticed that some of the prototype sprites are different. I noticed that the AES version is actually harder than the MVS version, as the enemies take more bullets to kill. Last Resort has turned into one of the games I like to fire up and 1cc casually. Once you route out the game it is not hard, at least the first loop. This is partly because the game is so short and I like that. For comparison think of Thunder Force 4. I love Thunder Force 4 but that game is so long it is intimidating to think about trying to get a 1cc after not playing it for months. I have a walkthrough video with commentary on my channel if anyone is interested.

Nice thorough review. I’ll be playing a bit of last resort later this day 👍.

Not being good at shooters, I haven’t really tried this one but your great review has me wanting to give it a go.

These are always cool.

Excellent work, as always! Oh, man, 8-Man up next? I recently replayed that one and, uh... oof. That's a rough one.

Awesome!

Great review very comprehensive.. may I add the cover was done by legendary Shinkiro but I’m not sure it was his typo on the back.

Up until a decade ago you could pick up a complete Last Resort Home-Cart for around $80. No one wanted it. Then RU-vid influencers happened...

1:20 Talking about Mr Jake?

You boys be quiet down there.

You ro- tate the screen

I don't get the joke with the screen orientation changing.

I just got this game for my Neo Geo CD after watching this video and while I’m finding it really hard, I gotta say I love it! You guys are my favorite gaming channel on RU-vid especially for how thorough these videos are; and I just gotta say I appreciate how much I’ve learned about my favorite hobby from your videos
