Watching this still in 2019, wishing the internet still worked like it did in 2009. :(

Those sounds and music are so Genesis

I played this game when I was a kid. Never forgot it.

I might buy this for that intro alone.

is totally worth it, my childhood knows it.

I love this game and i used to play it all the time on my Genesis. Still one of my favorite spaceship shooters ever. Got great fun gameplay, awesome music and very cool Boss fights.

I remember getting this, cartridge only, in a blister package at Kmart in the mid 90s for $5. It might not have been the best game but the music was awesome. Some of the deepest punchiest bass I've heard on a 16 bit game

Decided to look up a review for this, since I got one of those AtGames handhelds with 40 Genesis games on it, and Arrow Flash is one of them. Not a bad game at all, and probably a gateway title for the heavier shooters.

I grew up with this game, one of the first I had for the Sega Genesis living as a kid born in 1986 in Chicago.

this is actually one of my all time fav-games. Cant really say why, I just love it. The music is totally rad in some stages!

This game has some fantastic music. Its not in the same league as ThunderForce II and IV but its a good solid shoot'em up. Shoot'em ups flourished on the Megadrive/Genesis. There's so many qaulity titles, including this.

It's worth noting that in the Japanese version of the game, the name of the robot you are controlling is called "Lucifon".

i had this game. the level 4 boss was the coolest

i just got this game and the artwork on the case makes up for the carts lack of artwork, man i love this game its awesome!

I can remember playing this years and years ago

Genesis game with such an awsome music??!! Now my ears heard everything!! Very nice! :)

Cesar Ferrer I won't disagree because I didn't played it :) but I will believe you! I remember Megami Tensei for Famicom... best 8-bit soundtrack ever- rly it sound like early 16-bit games!

good lord this game still looks awesome

Ive never played this game. But now that Ive seen it I want to! Awesome video man.

I fell in love with this game while testing out one of the old At Games Genesis consoles. I wanted to make sure it worked, so I played the first game on the list. Within minutes I knew I needed to get the physical copy of this game. Great game. :-)

I can tell you grew up in the 80's just like I did, I love space ships that change into robots and blow shit up

This was one of my favorites games when I was a little kid.

arrowflash,mega turrican,gairaes,gunstar heroes those were the days

one of my fav sega games

YAY FOR ARROW FLASH! This game and me = history

I've still got this too. Im gonna go play it actually

My favorite feature in the game is in the options menu, you can turn the super weapon into a charge shot. It starts as a weapon stock of limited shots.

renovation used to make some really great games for the sega genesis back in the day. el viento, the valis series and many othe great shooting games

I picked up a CIB copy at a yard sale this weekend. Cool box art. Gameplay looks sweet as hell

My favorite Sega game ever

This was one of my first games.

also arrow flash is a very fine game.

ARROW FLASH > Salad. I'm sold.

This looks pretty cool. The music kicks ass.

When you just want to rip through the enemy like so much tissue paper: At the options menu, switch the setting, ''Arrow Flash'', from ''Stock'', to ''Charge''. When the story demo is over, wait for the demo of the gameplay to begin. Then press Start to start the game. Now, when you hold C for five seconds, you'll be invincible for about 10 minutes.

Aw why didn't you show the Crazy Golden Dragon God at the end that was crazy!! Awesome vid btw it brought so much nostalgia

oh, I almost forgot to tell you. The european cartridge is quite beautiful. Its a picture of the girl pilot posing, with the big robot in the backgrund looking quite menacing! I bought the game based on the cartridge alone!its weird sometimes how stuff like that can differ between regions

NOTE: you can use the arrow flash ability to move trough the meteroid field without dying its very usefull

It's one of the included games on the AtGames Sega Genesis 'Model 4'... I like it.

Can't wait to buy this game.

I used have this game and enjoy playing it when I was kid. I was stupid to trade it in for another game. I remember a secret where u had unlimited arrow flash power in robot form that lasted a very long time and I can't remember how I did it.

OMG!!!! I LOVE THIS GAME!!!! I ALWAYS PLAYED THIS!!!! MEGA AWESOME!!!

lol that opening is almost a anime opening awesome!

thx for teh review im goin to have to find this game

0:34 That is some music there. Sweetness.

i love this guy's narration =]

The European version of this game has a pretty picture of the girl and her robot on the cartridge.

sum1 probably commented this already, but you can arrow flash through the 2nd bunch of asteroid in the 'guy mode' 5:38

Never tell me the odds!

I got it in japanese version. The anime style cover is so beautiful.

+GuardiRock The joys of collecting physical copies. There's just something about the packages the games came in. Especially old Genesis/Mega drive games.

Yeh I love physical copies for the box art, and the cartridge/book art. But also to play the games on original hardware. There's just something so cool about having a real piece of gaming history. I love getting books where someone from long ago has written codes up the back.

Man I miss these reviews.

I have this game ad love it.

genesis games almost always have awesome music

Health and well-being through robotic force. I'm with you there. :)

my first game on mega drive

The closest you can get to a Macross game on the Genesis. It's a good one if you can find it.

The Next Generation of Gaming

thanks for the info :D

I suck at playing shooter games, never beat this one, but I must admit, every time I play this game I had a lot of fun

cool. I have this game and it's not bad

This looks really cool. I mean, really cool as in deserves a re release cool...

@artnandez Renovation was a publisher not a developer. They simply brought Japanese games to the USA. Valis was by Telenet. Not sure about other one,

i love arrow flash

I will be sure to watch wind squid and go to the new CGR forum ;)

i loved this game, had it on japanese converter

you know you can change to a smaller, faster ship whenever you want?

11:55 Yay Platterpus!

Another great Megadrive title I've played on early 90's, thanks to a japanese friend with families in japan

The creativity and humor is why we miss ya Mark Truly a classic Classic Game Room episode.

Xenon 2 = Manic Shooter This = Relaxed You're Right!!!!

The orange cartridge looks a lot like Gaiares from the same publisher. Also, thumbs up for intergalactic road rage.

I dont own the cartridge of this game but it is on a AT Games Genesis i bought a couple years ago for 30 bux. It plays perfectly fine but of course the sound isnt up to par but it was still cool to be able to play it though. Im terrible at shooters though. Lol. So i didnt get far in it.

Intro... Set me free why don't ya babe. Get out my life why don't ya babe.

If you're into robots equipped for mass destruction, you should review Target: Earth on the Genesis. It seems like a game you'd love, and I'd like to hear what you thought of it. It's tough as nails but a very well-crafted game.

Can you please review either or both- Insector x and Phelios on the Genesis..? That would be sweeeeeet!

I agree, the games they put out were well above average. Oddly enough, Renovation Products never actually *developed* anything -- they were only a publisher, who mostly localized Wolf Team's games (El Viento, Sol-Deace, etc.) But Arrow Flash, as well as Gain Ground, were actually developed by Sega. I wonder why it is that they outsourced their games to Renovation for U.S. publishing, but released them under their own label overseas? (The game boxes & title screens reflect this difference.)

@tyniehawk Thanx dude! I´ve been playin this game for just some time, but EVERY time I pass that damn section... I bite the dust. You sir, are a freakin hero. If nothing else, my controler sertanly thinks so

@deadlygroove1 Yeah, I forgot about the KHz difference, but it's pretty close. And it can be argued that many SNES games sounded as good or better in quality than lots of PS1 and Sega CD games, since not all of those games took full advantage of the hardware or took poor advantage of the hardware.

@davecarldude The song is probably made specifically for CGR.

According to C-3PO, the odds of successfully navigating through an Asteroid Field are: 3,720 to 1.

i was into this game mainly because of growing up on robotech. does anybody know the cheat to have infinite arrow flash??? i did it on accident a couple of times

I love the flashing sign of doom saying "OUT OF DANGER". It's so weird to loudly announce one's safety.

I refuse to engage in further verbal fisticuffs on my favorite video game channel!

OKAy U've convinced me hello amazon purchase!!

This review made me hungry...now you have to review waffle fries next. I'm not even kidding, pre-heat that oven Classic Game Room!!

Amen brother

One of a handfull of good games you can play without forward (R) key.seriously

The pal version got much better artwork, infact it actually got some artwork.

In my opion arrow flash would make a good remaster for next gen systems

What you say may be true, I don't know about that since I've never played Warcraft 3. But "All your base are belong to us" doesn't come from Warcraft originally. It's from the opening of the PAL version of Zero Wing, with is a game for the Sega Mega Drive. The PAL version, which was released in 1991, had really poor English translation. I doubt that Warcraft 3 was even released in 1991, or am I wrong? You could search for "All your base are belong to us" on wikipedia for some more info. :)

Classic Game Room needs to do a review of Alien Soldier for the Mega Drive, if you're haven't heard of it, check it out, it's AWESOME.

Alien Soldier is one of the best games ever! A masterpiece by Treasure. Graphics, art style, gameplay and sound are all brilliant. Used to have the record for the most boss battles in a game. It's epic.

@hardcorerocc ThunderForce II kicks ass, I haven't played this one yet, but I would definitely recommend TFII - it's my favorite Genesis game and it's really cheap nowadays, I got it for like 6 bucks at amazon.com

@MikePitcher You have heard him talk about his love of beer, right ;)
