totally a masterpiece, the OST (Kenichiro Fukui ) is really absurd beyond brilliant, you can get sealed brand new copies in Shinjuku Tokyo/Akihabara ($100/125 ) 10 mins from my home...I still play it every couple of months. thanks for the vid Brotha 👊🏻.
Whenever I played this one on the demo disc as a kid it always creeped me out. Something about the opera singing with the sirens, breakcore, nighttime aesthetics, and the skeleton lady on the billboard made it feel cold and unwelcoming (in a good way)
This game has been in the back of my mind for the past 16 years. I've tried to explain it to ppl and search for it with no luck. It's been driving me crazy. For years. That finally changed today. Thank you for uploading
YESSSSSSS! I played the fuck out of this and hotshots golf on that demo! I only wish I could afford to buy the full game now! It’s like $200 on eBay...
As a kid I never understood the buttons and why sometimes I’d have a different gun but GAAWLEEE this game was fun especially that first boss. It felt so epic facing off against this machine and the music just made it 20x better
Man I can’t believe I lost this game I used to play it everyday after school as a kid. If I knew the game was gonna be $200 20 years later I would have bought them out lol
Jeez what a through back to the 90s, what a game and what a hard game to clock this took some skill and patience, well done to any one who clocked this game.
Holy fuckin nostalgia. That chicks laugh just brought me back to my childhood. I’ve been searching for this locked piece of memory for so long. Throwback to early 2000s
The height of Square's greatness. They were innovating at every level and at all game types. All they did was churn out S-level original IP's, many which they have never revisited again. Nothing comes close to what they did in the 90s.
Back when EVERY game Squaresoft made were AMAZING!! You didn't even need trailers or reviews... if Squaresoft made it you knew it was one of the Best games out there.
I played this when I was 5 years old at my friend’s house on his ps1 and was hooked for hours. I remember thinking it was the best think ever invented! The graphics looked 4k to us at that time. I was never able to find this game again after this and I was searching for years. This was 22 years ago! Here I am 22 years later sitting in bed and for whatever reason the sentence “what was that ps1 game called?” Pops into my head randomly. I stumble upon this video and relive this game 22 years later
@@marthar4370 It is available on the Japanese PSN if you are willing to go to the effort. If not, I wouldn't feel bad about using an emulator; who would you be stealing from?
That stage 2 boss use to freak me right out when I was a little kid. Watching it again right now gave me shivers down my spine. Huge shot of nostalgia.
I never knew this scary sound in the beginning was actually sirens. Funny how as we grow up, we start understand things. I like to see this old games and being able to understand what I wasn't when I was a kid
I’m pretty surprised they haven’t done that yet, with all the Final Fantasy remakes which come out every 2 weeks. I suppose Einehander is a more rarified game, it didn’t even get a release on PAL over here in the U.K. but still SHMUPS have hit the mainstream more in the last couple of years. Looks like I’ll have to stick with my trusty Japanese copy!
@@Dessan01 lack of market I assume. Shooters were already dying by the time this came out back in the day, and they haven't really made a resurgence except in indie circles.
I played the first level so much as a kid from those old demo discs. Because of that the first boss is my favorite. Dis ist eine warnung, entladen sir alle ihre waffen!
Weirdest story about this game? I found the end credits song YEARS ago on some kind of "relaxing nature music" disk. Probably stolen. Blew my mind to find out where it actually came from.
Konami wants they boss music back!.....just kidding guys. this game was AHEAD of its time. Recently i play Nex Machina i can say VG had come a long way. Great detail the vulcan counter., never notice that when i was a kid.
02:35 the laughter i heard 1:1 identical to challenger Space shuttle doc the final flight on Netflix / episode 03 / 03:03. 🙋🏻♂️ i believe it’s Christa McAuliffe laugh.
That is really strange i would love to see where the original sound audio for the laugh track came from. Because i watched the netflix and the laugh seems so out of place. Maybe its stock audio hmm.
I'd bet that the staff that made this awesome shmup are no longer with Square Enix, IIRC shmup designers are a highly specialized bunch@@BraindeadEntertainment
It's so weird because my memories tell me that this looked so much more realistic when I was younger. And for some reason I thought you played as a helicopter? Guess that's just what happens when modern technology gets so good. XD
This isn't on original PS is it? It is so high resolution. Great gameplay btw! May I ask what you are doing to make it so high resolution?? I'd love to be able to make it look like that for me. Thanks man

I remember playing this as a demo on the ps1 underground disc as a kid and thinking to myself "this is the future"
Same here
Wow same.
Weird to see the entire demo part played through in like 3 minutes, as a child it took and probably like felt so much longer
Yep mine had metal gear solid on it too. I recently bought einhander for $65 for ps1
@@ocpofficialrep7026 Worth it if I could find a copy for the same price or less.
My dad passed away YEARS ago and this is one of the few games we always played together, it holds a special place in my heart, Ty for this
One of the greatest side scrolling shooters of all time. Completely epic soundtrack with excellent graphics and gameplay.
I totally agree. I'm surfing the Internet now for some great PS1 SHMUPS to install on my PS3. This is one I have on my PS2 and it's amazing!
Hands-down the best side scroller ever
I remember needing a special chip to play a Japanese version of this game on the ps1

@@rashoietolan3047 same we never got this game in Europe so I had to play a burned copy back then on my modchipped system
This game would be absolutely epic as an HD remaster.

Well said
Had the same exact feelings. The weird laugh just as she turns into a skeleton creeped 6 yr old me tf out
I swear dude. I felt the same way. When the lady laughed and then turned into a skeleton it always made me feel uneasy. Like she died or some shit

After years of searching!! I had this demo from my mail delivered PlayStation underground subscription!! I never knew the name!!!!! Omg
Bro same !! I believe it had this game and resident evil 1 trailer that scared the F out of me as a kid
YESSSSSSS! I played the fuck out of this and hotshots golf on that demo! I only wish I could afford to buy the full game now! It’s like $200 on eBay...
This game has been living in my head rent free for years. I never remembered the name of it but always remembered how it looked.
same man i really struggled on the train part i was 4 years old when i played this game.
A true masterpiece of a game. I was never able to beat it to it's hardness. I really wanna retry this 20 years after :)
Gameshark ha ha😉
I'm using save states on Duckstation emulator @@Hero11170
This master piece needs a sequel:)

Overwhelming nostalgia 😭
Took me back to my childhood. Simpler times ♥️
I remember my co worker sold me this game for 15 bucks. It turned out to be one of my favorite ps1 games.
now it is expensive
No DLC's, no online, just a great game with a greater soundtrack...
This is what Cyberpunk 2077 should have been like.
Man I can’t believe I lost this game I used to play it everyday after school as a kid. If I knew the game was gonna be $200 20 years later I would have bought them out lol
i still have my copy😊
That's what I was saying...I don't even remember what I did with my copy.
I have the demo on the red disc lol
Jeez what a through back to the 90s, what a game and what a hard game to clock this took some skill and patience, well done to any one who clocked this game.
Bless this game. Soundtrack reminds me a bit of Parasite Eve 2.
I remember playing this old game on a PS1 sampler disc.
Wow a blast from the past when I was just a small kid I still remember playing the demo
Holy fuckin nostalgia. That chicks laugh just brought me back to my childhood. I’ve been searching for this locked piece of memory for so long. Throwback to early 2000s
I thought this game was a dream. Can't believe I found it after all this time
What a classic! Played the hell out of the demo on "interactive cd 7" that disc, that disc was my window to a bigger world

The ost in this game is phenomenal.
I legit opened a Japanese PSN account way back in 2008 just for this game. It's still the my favorite game of all time!
I'm shocked this game was unlocked at 60fps. I can see the dips when there's something going on.
I absolutely loved this game growing up
Played this in the late 90’s
I miss games like these.
This is one of the very few games that doesn't have a loading screen, this game is amazing


Damn I miss the 11th grade when I think about this classic!!!
The memories of that god damn ps1 demo disk lol
Someone take me back 😔. I want to be a kid again
I used to play the shit out of this game as a kid. I completely forgot about it over the years i need to re-buy it .
I've been looking. It sells for about $250-$300 on ebay. *Sigh* I can't say I blame them. The game was just well done when it first came out.
@@marthar4370 It is available on the Japanese PSN if you are willing to go to the effort. If not, I wouldn't feel bad about using an emulator; who would you be stealing from?
So great to hear that the German language is spoken here without the least of an (American) accent. Es ist wunderbar!
Square had an incredible output of shooters on PSX. Einhänder and iS: internal section are masterpieces
The fact this game never got remastered yet is a fracking crime.
That stage 2 boss use to freak me right out when I was a little kid. Watching it again right now gave me shivers down my spine. Huge shot of nostalgia.
The laughing billboard always got me as a kid
Fallen ?
AhahaHA!
Dude!! How did i never get to play this?!
Do it, one of the best games i played.
The soundtrack, sound efx and visual details were ahead of its time.
Thank god this game is only 50 minutes short & not super longer
I remember playing this as a demo at Kmart and Best Buy! Always lost 😆
The nostalgia I have for this game is insane I need to find my copy
I miss this game so much 😭
Most difficult PS1 sci-fi shooter I ever play especially police car boss
I never knew this scary sound in the beginning was actually sirens. Funny how as we grow up, we start understand things.
I like to see this old games and being able to understand what I wasn't when I was a kid
Literally the greatest and hardest playstation one game ever made. Also the best schmup
I want a remaster (or just a rerelease) of this game so bad.

I was born to love techno, I’m rewatching the gameplay and I completely forgot about the legendary soundtrack on this game
This is the BLADE RUNNER shooter.STILL THD BEST
this game is techno-futuristic scrap-metal beautiful
I remember playing this. It was amazing. I never went far though. I guess I will emulate the game one day and try to finish it.
Wish they could remaster this game. One of my favorites as a kid.
Duckstation on a decent P.C will give you just that.
The fact that they have remastered everything else BUT this awesome game is a crime.
This game is probably the hardest game I’ve ever played
Have you tried Ninja Gaiden on the NES?
Omg I even forgot this existed. Bad ass old school game
First stage made me feel like I suddenly ended up in Germany, even more so because of the sound track....
What a gem. Love this game.
I miss this game it deserves a remastered or a remake.
This game then STILL does things that games of today and if its kind don’t.
Best game before it's time! I wish ps5 would renake this!
Loved this game. It was amazing.
I still to this day cannot seem to pass the level after that damn green yo-yo slinging boss, haha. Best game hands down though.
I just wish it was longer!
I played the first level so much as a kid from those old demo discs. Because of that the first boss is my favorite. Dis ist eine warnung, entladen sir alle ihre waffen!
5:06 my little kid mind thinking "oh fk here we go!"
GOD I REMEMBER THIS GAME. Broke controllers cause of this hard shit.. its so hard to find now!!
I used to love the shit out of this game! The play and soundtrack…great combo!!
I looooooooved this game.
This game is incredible ,
Weirdest story about this game? I found the end credits song YEARS ago on some kind of "relaxing nature music" disk. Probably stolen. Blew my mind to find out where it actually came from.
That's very interesting to hear. It's not uncommon they usually use stock footage for sounds and stuff, but a whole track? I'm very curious now.
@@Death1121 I REALLY wish I could remember what disk it was from. It was from one of my moms disks that she had when I was a teen.
I have the demo in PS1, greats memories.
Best demo ever for the ps1
This game was awesome
How can I find that woman laughing sound bit??
Konami wants they boss music back!.....just kidding guys. this game was AHEAD of its time. Recently i play Nex Machina i can say VG had come a long way. Great detail the vulcan counter., never notice that when i was a kid.
Straight dope classic.
One of me favorite ps games
02:35 the laughter i heard 1:1 identical to challenger Space shuttle doc the final flight on Netflix / episode 03 / 03:03. 🙋🏻♂️

@@Suzaku571 short for shoot em up (game)
Absolutely iconic
Definitely possibly the hardest game ive ever played
42:57 I just start screaming when I realized that this is the boss in kh3. Mostly the same design and attacks
You do know you can switch your secondary wepon to shoot above you too makes the game way easier at parts
Played the demo of this game as a kid, but never bought it. #regrets
I only reached the Triangle Robot. I hope I can play it again since I lost the cd already.
Oh God! The nostalgia. But tell me seriously, doesn't the soundtrack sound a lot like Beast Machines?
dam the song is crazy
A real pro!
Why dont you use the alternative arm position?
Btw, thats the best fighter mode imo
Wonderful game
what this version?,its clean in graphique ,give me the link please
Dis Big Bossman Version I tink
@@LouSassoleSledgecock_III its an emulator for ps1 called duckstation make game look amazing
