This was a great conversion, 2 player as well. I always liked the way the flamethrower turned the bosses completely white when it hit so you knew you were doing serious damage :)
@@superturbo2 I consider this game Contra more than Super C even though Super C is literally Contra on Amiga. The same goes for the Sega Genesis version of Contra, this game is more contra like on that console than the actual version of Contra released for it.
@@retepnosbig4859 Any other version sounds a million times better. Listen to the arcade or sega megadrive version. The amiga version sounds embarrassing for its hardware capabilities (the amiga has much better sound capabilities than this "thing"). Even the c64 version sounds better. I was an amiga guy for over 10 years but I'm not not blind and deaf.... You can't be a fanboy, you have to look at it objectively and not be blindfolded
@@kakaszka7236 is different. The megadrive version is very dynamic, clean, the drum is very present. Amiga, is more emotional. Same rythm, but different mixage. For me, Amiga version is better, but megadrive is very good.
Played this tirelessly with my cousin, but were never able to finish it on the count of being to young. Always wondered how the game ended. Thnx for the upload.
Also check out Yo Joe. There are sound effects and music sounds like it has more than 4 tracks. Amiga could do great music and sound effects but some programmers barely knew how to use the capabilities of the machine. Also it was quite common than many home computer ports from the arcades and consoles were lousy cash grabs as there was no quality control, because publishers knew about the insane piracy that was main selling factor for the hardware but pain in the ass for the software makers.
16:12 - when I was a kid I closed my eyes during this whole cutscene. I couldn't stand these two horrible faces. Now after all these years, it still give me chills down my spine. Yuck!
Been trying to rmeember what this game was called for ages. At one point i convinced myself it was contra but i had doubts and after seeing this video i now realise it was Midnight resistance
Is anyone else triggered by the fact that he's leaving keys lying on the ground even when he doesn't have his bar filled yet? I always grab every key I can get. Even when I already have all the keys I can carry. :P
Several people say they rather play the Arcade version. Of course you would, who wouldn't? The Arcade versions are pretty much always better than any of the ports those games have gotten.
Are you actually on earth then? It's odd that earth is in the background on the last stage and then you go up a ladder and your family are all there with the sun in the background.
Actually this is better than the genesis version even though some stages enemy layout is change but becos having a two coop player is sufficient to neutralize the genesis in additon having voices.
@@wongyc5585 I'd agree to disagree as I don't like the colour palette on this one and I like the controls on the genesis version better as you could lock your fire in one direction. I love both versions though. This is the one I played first.
A molti della old generations mancano questi giochi, io che li ho vissuti li trovavo brutti allora e peggio oggi, salvo qualche eccezione, l amiga faceva cagaree. Almeno per me che ero un fan degli arcade da bar e le conversioni erano ridicole 😆
I like the music in the amiga version... kind of more "edgy" ^^; mega drive version has slightly better graphics and a bit better sound effects though...
GENESIS IS 5 YEARS MORE RECENT THAN AMIGA 500 BUT THIS VERSION IS MUCH BETTER THAN GENESIS VERSION. BEFORE TYPING SHIT YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT YOU´RE TALKING ABOUT AND GO TO VISIT A DOCTOR BECAUSE YOU´RE NEEDING TO WEAR GLASSES AND YOU HAVE AUDITION PROBLEMS. (THIS GAMEPLAY VIDEO WAS PLAYED WITH INFINITE LIVES ON A SHITTY QUALITY EMULATOR)
Such a meh port of a great game. Amiga had so very few decent arcade ports. :/ But at least it's better than Outrun, or Bionic Commando on the Amiga I suppose.
This is near one of the best examples of arcade ports to the Amiga. If this is meh , your not going to find much love on the Amiga. This is as good as it gets. Which I think is pretty good .

This game has just entered my head after many many years. Love the first stage theme. Nostalgic as heck.
This was a great conversion, 2 player as well. I always liked the way the flamethrower turned the bosses completely white when it hit so you knew you were doing serious damage :)
This is the best run and gun game on Amiga. It is the closest to Contra we get.
Turrican 2
More fun than contra imo!
Not really, Super C is Contra on the Amiga even though it's crap.
@@apostolosfilippos Turrican 2 is up there with the best the genre can get on any system even to this very day.

One of the greatest soundtracks ever !!!!!!!!!!!
I agree, but I just don't know why the Amiga version of that soundtrack sounds like they were done on panpipes.
@@ThePathStrider cos it sounds awesome thats why!!

Never saw the arcade game until years after it came out. Always played the amiga version and found it relaxing.
I played it countless times on my Amiga 600, 2 player mode was amazing, one got the flame thrower and one got the 3way

I remember if you don’t have enough keys before the last stage to save your family they appear as shooting stars at the end presumably they die.
I knew this game was a gem from the opening theme. Thanks, cocaine!
The music was amazing in this game.
I always hated when games could not use both sfx and music at the same time.
me too^^
Because programmers didnt know the Tricks. If you Look at Turrican 2 you see its possible even with the Fake 8 voice tech.
Yeah man! Look at Turrican 2!

Midnight resistance is pretty cool game plus Turrican series
Overall Data East is awesome..
Ahmed Alzaabi turrican 👍🏻
This game had 2 players mode. Lot of fun with brother we had...

I grew up on the Amiga version of this game. Unlike with Golden Axe, I like the Amiga version of this game's music the best.
Loved this, but had forgotten all about it until now.
9:09 - sounds like the music from Space Harrier
10:10 - sounds like the beginning of the music from the first stage of The Revenge of Shinobi
Been trying to rmeember what this game was called for ages. At one point i convinced myself it was contra but i had doubts and after seeing this video i now realise it was Midnight resistance
Great game and soundtrack. Playing it 2Ps was awesome
Is anyone else triggered by the fact that he's leaving keys lying on the ground even when he doesn't have his bar filled yet?
I always grab every key I can get. Even when I already have all the keys I can carry. :P
21:50: When the resistance is actually at midnight
Amiga had top notch sound, for music like this. I just wish there was more sound channels so we didn't have to choose sfx or music.
Massive amounts of nostalgia! I never made it past the spinning saws boss... I blame the crappy joystick! 😉
Always loved this game, on any platform. Those guys in the intro must be kamikrazy, running into the vehicle like that.
Definitely a decent port and great action game
I played this heaps back in the day . Using keys to unlock family members at the end was creepy as hell
Never got very far on this as a kid at the time, hours of fun, and yet completed in about 20mins
Great game from my childhood!
The sound, when killing the soldiers: BUP! xD
@16:11 'WE HAVE YOUR FAMILY!"
Dude, I know... That's why I'm here 🤣
best music all times
Nice but hard game. Awesome soundtrack.
Best Contra clone...loved it on Amiga in 1990.
Played this with my best friend every Saturday morning when we were kids, we called the flame thrower a chainsaw and we made up lyrics to the music.
Several people say they rather play the Arcade version. Of course you would, who wouldn't? The Arcade versions are pretty much always better than any of the ports those games have gotten.
I always liked to think that the score pick-ups were lollypops.
90% is the soundtrack!
At the end I only saved one of the family members and that closing scene looked so funny.
and honestly when it comes to midnight resistance. I prefer either the arcade or the Genesis version
The Genesis version seems to be the best port.
yeah but it wasnt ported from X6800 like this one is Atari ST game
It’s not a 100% the same as the ST. It at least used the blitter. Runs quite a bit quicker than the ST version.
Graphic assets are the same though.
05:31 how do I know this music when I have't played this game? It has a strong Contra feel
The only game i enjoyed playing together with my bigger brother...all other times we just fought with each other over who plays on the amiga
Thank you for uploading :)
amazing game!!!
I'm surprised, this version actually looks good. And our hero, middle fingering the sun because why not, hate sunny days 21:30. LOL
lmao 23mins gameplay, unbelievable nowdays yet amazing xD
1:05 - 1:48 best soundtrack music
Yes... very emotional ! Impressive composition.
Good old times 👍🏻
does the Amiga look anything like a Commodore 64? I ask because I have never seen a Commodore Amiga
Not really. It is grey and has an build in floppy
*PICK A WEAPON*
Good Stuff as a kid :D Ultra game
я прошел в юнности лет в 14-15. На картридже сегамегадрайв2 с надписью Contra7. был 1999 год. золотое время! Кстати если чо - мой псн уин : Eizekeb
Horrible graphics - but to be fair, everything moves perfectly smoothly and it plays very well.
Got
It
Definitely an Atari ST port with smoother scrolling. Which isn't a bad thing, it's still a very good effort.
Too bad the Atari ST version was released 1 year after the Amiga one...
Not really. They were released the same year in the summer of 1990. I remember both being in the shops at the same time.
Is this the actual music from the game?
Yes
Are you actually on earth then? It's odd that earth is in the background on the last stage and then you go up a ladder and your family are all there with the sun in the background.
16:14 sad moments :-(
Ultra!
Where are the sound effects?
Without music. Music and effects not possible.
this was a great version, only 2nd to Genesis one.
Actually this is better than the genesis version even though some stages enemy layout is change but becos having a two coop player is sufficient to neutralize the genesis in additon having voices.

What were those things that looked like lolipops? The bad guys dropped them when killed.
Keys
Pick a weapon!
wow memories.
Somehow, I remember the music MUCH BETTER than this ... but hey, I wasn't even 10 yet.
Impressive music.. A 1985 hardware that had better sound and graphics than SNES and Genesis that came out years later
Would be amazing , shame it didn’t exist

Mega driver version is silght bit better
Nah, the Amiga version retained the 2 players mode. Overall it is better than the Genesis one, for once.
I like the music in the amiga version... kind of more "edgy" ^^; mega drive version has slightly better graphics and a bit better sound effects though...
@@mr_wildschwein
Music: MEGA DRIVE
Graphics: Amiga
Music: mega drive
@@benjaminzuniga5750 pretty sure the megadrive has better graphics too.
The Genesis version shits all over this.
but the Amiga was a real computer, not some appliance crap.
Way too easy as i remember it.

I used to love this game, bit the music is so depressing and not fitting. I always selected the FX instead.
+Han Dae Han for wat system is this and is it for the us?
Ray Finkle I played it on Amiga 500+ the PAL version and... "Your gun is digging into my hip." (cit.) :D
_Painfully_ slow music!

C64-Version sounds so much better. The dumb Amiga-Wavetable sound is passing through here -_-
I didn't enjoy this game too much. The palette always seemed off with gameplay which wasn't too inspiring. I still think mag reviews overrated it
i rather the arcade version. Im not impress with this game play
