      He did not write the original though, these are (great) covers of the original arcade by Azusa Hara and Hiroaki Yoshida.

    You know you've reached the pinnacle of badassery when your enemies see fit to send a squadron of fight jets to blitz you. I always loved the odds in games like this.

      Call me crazy but to me sounds better on Megadrive than in the Arcade.

    • @duffman18
      @duffman18 9 месяцев назад

      ​@@weirddudehi you're not crazy. It actually happened quite a few times. Like the Genesis version of the first Mortal Kombat game has better music than the arcade, across the board. Both the versions of songs that are identical in terms of writing but just performed with different "instruments" i.e. the genesis sound chip, but also the songs that were actually changed or even replaced by new songs that were written differently.
      I find it disappointing to play the actual arcade version of Mortal Kombat because the genesis version just has the better soundtrack by far.

    AWESOME!!! I've been trying to re-find this game since the 90's! I could never remember the name. I only ever tried it on my Amiga but now 100% going to try the Megadrive version. You've genuinely made my so thank you! :D

  • @SpiralPegasus
    @SpiralPegasus 12 лет назад +51

    "Pretty bad port, Amiga version was better in every regard!"
    You mean 100% the other way around right? Music in the Genesis version kicks ass, it doesn't have a bug making everything look dark, it controls better, it runs smoother, and is as good as the arcade. Actually, scratch that! It's BETTER than the arcade, and by a long shot!

      Hello from the future! Did you ever play the Amiga version? I reckon that was equal to the arcade version, a tad better than the MD version. The future isnt anything to get excited about btw, hover boards aren't even a thing..... yet.

  • @seanseanston
    @seanseanston 12 лет назад +9

  • @ryzmaker11
    @ryzmaker11 10 лет назад +27

    lol @the video description, another troll isn't it? Seems obvious since:
    -> Amiga version of Midnight Resistance = no intro; no parallax scrollings; no sound effects... while the Mega Drive version has all of this.
    -> Amiga version runs in a tiny window with a huge HUD bar while it's the opposite case on Mega Drive.
    -> also the Mega Drive version has better and more appropriate music IMO compared to the "flute rendition" on Amiga.
    So indeed the Amiga version is "better in every regard!" xD
    Fact: the only advantage of the Amiga version is that it has co-op option (and it's quite strange that it's not the case with the Mega Drive version, even more considering other Mega Drive run 'n guns such as Gunstar Heroes or Contra Hard Corps which not only have co-op but which are also much more impressive than Midnight Resistance) but other than that, the Mega Drive version is superior in every respects and is the best home port ;)

    • @zanegandini5350
      @zanegandini5350 10 лет назад +4

      I'm really hoping the longplayer was just joking in the description, the Amiga version of this game comes nowhere near the level of the Genesis version.
      Heck, other than lack of two-player, I actually like the Genesis version better than the arcade version! The arcade music was bland and the graphics look overly saturated in comparison to the high-contrast Genesis version.

    @Alianger Preach it brotha. And for me personally, it indeed my not have been the best contra style game, but it still was alot of fun thanks to that pumping soundtrack.

  • @SpiralPegasus
    @SpiralPegasus 12 лет назад +2

    You're right about it being 2P co-op. I don't know why they didn't do that in either port, when both MD and Amiga were capable of handling multiplayer without any sort of issue.
    I don't care about the rotary joystick, SEGA's pad is just perfect, and the "classic Data East sound"... well, dunno, but I prefer the Genesis version here.
    That also applies for Vapor Trail.

    • @duffman18
      @duffman18 9 месяцев назад

      This game came out years before the first Metal Slug game. In the 80s and 90s it was extremely common for side-scrolling shooter and space shoot em ups to have big ship bosses like this. It was just one of those things, a trope that tons of different games used, just like how platformers always had an ice level, and a water level, etc

  • @37Retro
    @37Retro 8 лет назад +5

    This is one of the best games on the megadrive / genesis, no wonder it sells for pretty decent money now. I grew up playing the spectrum version, then the Amiga version which was excellent and had 2 player mode but overall I think this is the better version of the game despite the lack of a 2 player option.

    I have no problems with this port Schlauchi, you know I love my old school games from your days in IRC on the old #cv channel. I bought this one recently and enjoy the heck out of it, Plays close enough to the arcade version and retains the campiness. I didn't grow up with an Amiga, or knew anyone who had it, but this is my version of Midnight Resistance I enjoy. :)

  • @triplestar100
    @triplestar100 13 лет назад

    @ValisHD if it's any consolation, and if your fellows at Longplays haven't done it yet, you could request to do one of 1)Heavy Barrel (also made by Koji A.), 2) Thunder Zone, known in US as Desert Assault (the spiritual sequel of Bloody Wolf) or 3)one of my DataEast faves, Wolf Fang AKA Rohga Armor Force (the true sequel to Vapor Trail). I'll head to the website for the requests & see what goes.

    @cheplays2482 2 года назад +1

    It's so strange, I have distinct memories of this game's final boss, yet I swear I've never played or seen or heard of this game before. Was Midnight Resistance ever ported to or developed for anything else?
    EDIT:
    Just watched footage from the arcade version. I 100% remember the music now so it's quite possible this was one of the many games I emulated on MAME growing up. I played a lot of Data East games back then.

Pretty nice colors and animation. Megadrive pros sprites are more faithful to the arcade and has the full intro. Great music

    • @rootykazooty351
      @rootykazooty351 6 лет назад +2

      There are different options for the controls. The first one just fires wherever you aim the d-pad. Others rotate the weapon in different ways. So you can run where you aim the d-pad and then hold the B button so your aim rotates as you run, then let go of B when it's set to where you want it. The "rotate" option of control feels very different for a few minutes then you quickly get used to it. Brilliant game with epic music. Quite an early one too (1990).

      Well,the problem in Amiga is always the same,no fullscreen,you play on a window,and only one button,but yeah...is not an horrible port like others,The reality is that the Amiga port was made by 4 people and the Megadrive by a huge Staff,as always.

    • @rootykazooty351
      @rootykazooty351 6 лет назад +2

      The Mega Drive's epic pumping music sounds a lot better on this game than the weedy Amiga music.
      They should have called the Amiga game Midnight Panpipes.
      It looks really good though, despite running in a small window and with the missing parallax scrolling and intro.

    • @Bloodreign1
      @Bloodreign1 6 лет назад +1

      Hitoshi Sakimoto's custom sound engine is the reason why. The man is very talented when it comes to making music. Another game he did music for is Bad Omen for the Genesis, if you haven't heard the music to it, I recommend it.

    • @aqarius5740
      @aqarius5740 7 лет назад +3

      As arcade ports from 1990 go, this is actually a pretty good port, and without question the best port of this game that exists. The arcade game isn't vastly different apart from the 2 player ability, and the Mega Drive music is far superior to the Arcade soundtrack.

    Arcade = Classic Data East audio + two players + rotary joystick
    MD / GEN = Arranged audio by someone who worked on SSBB + only one player + no rotary joystick
    Amiga = Something to forget.

    superior by the music , but the ugly ending ..... they tried like in arcade, but with poor sega palette ,no way. The arcade sky is just incredible

      It could look much better with the actual Genesis palette but seems like they choose the wrong colors.

    Music is awesome, the gfameplay and whole game is boring and blocky...
    I guess they wanted something like Gunstar heroes... But turned out kinda half-assed. Music is what soudns great in it!
