It's great the game supports 2 buttons. Commodore should have been pushing publishers and joystick manufacturers to support 2 buttons at minimum on the Amiga when it was first released (3 buttons should also have been the norm for beat-em ups making them much easier/nicer to play)
I always found it strange that even the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad and C64 all had 2 button joysticks that only used one. I agree, a dedicated fighting pad would have been awesome! But hey, at least we are getting those games with the multi-button support now! Better late than never lol
This game is based
Been playing the arcade version of this game recently... nice review man
Thank you very much :) Glad you enjoyed the review, it's a lovely little platformer!
Yo, the guy throwing cats. Haha 😆
@9:30 you have to hold up and attack or Jump to stop from getting juggled. @9:22 you had over 100 mp (blue Recharging bar) and you did -down, forward, Down, Forward, attack by accident.
Did anyone figure out the hit box on the owl? Massive sprite, would have been OK half the size. I think this is more like a 60% game than 80, washed out colors, short length and 25 quid back in the day. Compare to shmups coming out at the same time on console, 6/7 out of ten is OK I think.
All in all it was a bit of an odd game. BUT the animations on the Owl were superb, the graphics, though washed out were very good, and those loading screens were *Chef's Kiss* at the time, and for an A500 game it was pretty good for the hardware. Would love to see an AGA remake with some actual animated monsters.
@@Games-Arcade yes great points. I don't understand the use of colors, it can be hard to make out the enemies on the backgrounds. I'm trying to get a one credit complete. Overall a nice game, I'm gonna play through all the Amiga shmups to compare.
@@UnboxRacing Keep me updated on how you get on :)
Does this game save your progression so you can continue another time? I got the CRT and .d64 file.
I'm not sure quite honestly. Though if you are playing through emulation, use the save state feature and that will save your current progress. Hope this helps!
@@Games-Arcade i am on a real breadbin with the Ultimate 2+L cartridge.
Superb game. Once you get to the second level, getting past the first obstacle, a rotating wheel with lasers in it, well, that takes some thinking about! I got past it first time by sheer luck, and every time since have failed and lost every single life each time trying to get past it.

Reminds me far more of Streets of Rage than anything else - In the best way possible!
Amiga beat em ups are certainly improving aren't they? The little details are such a nice touch. I believe the programmers used a very smart engine, where they don't do straight sprite swaps with different colours but build the characters from a set of differing body parts! That way there can be more variety in opponents with limited memory. Seems PRETTY smart.
I'd watch a playthrough :). Looks really fun, too bad my computer died a while back, but I'll enjoy it second hand. I can tell just from a glance that it has responsive controls. Unlike the og Amy beatemups, where your guy always froze for a few frames between commands :). So many unfair deaths...
Oh no! Your Amiga has bitten the dust? That would be so sad. Maybe/hopefully it can be repaired.
@@OperationPhantom fortunately not my Amiga, that's still safely stored away in my sons cellar :). I bring it out maybe once or twice a decade to play Moonstone, Laser Squad, and SSI gold box rpg's. It was my PC that gave up the spirit. There's fortunately a recycling center downtown where I can get a decent engine for a pittance.
You Brit’s are lucky it was only released in Europe but thanks to the overdose pack of the true blue mini for the PlayStation classic we Americans can play it
I never understood why there were area locked games, same for us with overseas games too, but it sucked. At least now the doors are fully wide open and we can all enjoy the goodies the Playstation has to offer :D
This looks brilliant. Great review buddy.
Excellent video you shared with us TGA. I posted the upload for others to see on, The Official NEO-GEO Thread to be amazed on what you had to say about the game. A pleasure doing so for you brother man. 8^) Anthony..
Thank you so much for this comment. Thats very kind of you. I'm glad that you enjoyed it
Your pirate impression wasn't too bad. Sounded a bit like Captain Barbosa. Captain Beardy approves 👍🏴☠️
Thx so much for this nice review ;-) during the game you can collect a treasure map that will open a bonus stage after a boss. you can achieve this by killing 4 enemies in a row (by putting them into barrels in the first place for instance) : 3 treasure chests = treasure map for level unlock! ;-) Keep on the good work on the channel! cya! :)
Thank you for stopping by! Really looking forward to the full release!
Massive shout out to @SD-MB-BB-CR for asking me to review this one - more to come too matey!
Thanks for my request but didnt credited me in the description
You are most welcome and I have put your name in the comments now :)
Thanks for the lovely review <3
My absolute pleasure! Cracking game!
Yeah, great looking game. Basically a 1 bit graphic style, looks really crisp! Thumping music too. Name of the game is certainly a tribute to the brilliant programmer Raffaele Cecco, nice!
This looks brilliant!
Sorry if the background music is too loud, I totally forgot to adjust it in post edit. Hopefully it's not overpowering the review itself.
Can crank it up even more TBH.
Why is the footage darkened? It looks so weird
4 years ago, I am guessing the emulation wasn't quite up to scratch. That's my guess anyway :)
We had MSXes instead of Speccys in the Low Countries and in Germany they had Schneiders instead of Amstrads!
Love the music on this one!
I do believe Sarah worked on the original Gemini Wing conversion for Amiga... Anyway, it's like you shoot insects instead of aliens. Alien looking insects that is.
Cheers my friend. Really enjoyed these 2 blasters! I am thinking about what is next on my agenda now :D
This game is definitely a banger...i love it
Absolutely! Hoping for a 3rd instalment but I think SJA is taking a break from Retro Game programming at the moment.
SHOULD remind you of Gemini Wing though ;) It's a tribute to that game. You don't lose all your upgrades when you die, just get downgraded. Thankfully it's not like Gradius/Nemesis.
The 2nd one of this - chefs kiss!
Hey
Hey!
@@Games-Arcade how are you doing
@@SD-MB-BB-CR I'm doing good thank you, how are you?
@@Games-Arcade I'm doing well btw Have you played super monkey ball? Also theres a new Super monkey ball game coming on the 25th this month on the Nintendo switch is called Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble and it's going to be fun game watch the trailer and when the game release play that game please
@@SD-MB-BB-CR I have indeed played Super Monkey Ball, and it's sequel on the Gamecube. I will be looking at them at some point. Cool that they are doing a new MB game on the switch too!
Since I don't really know anything about Tekken lore after 3. I've taken to reading a description everytime you post an intro. The lore is uh, *peculiar*. I tried to come up with a funny descriptor, but I think I fried my brain.
Yeah, they have come a long way since Tekken on the Arcade/PSOne lol And they just get weirder and weirder. I suppose Street Fighter isn't exactly what I would call normal either hahaha.
😁😁😁
Remember playing the Tekken games on Playstation mate?
@@Games-Arcade Of course. I remember being pretty crap at it, but it was fun.
@@CJWright-HorrorAuthor 🤣
Happy fathers day....this one looks awesome
It is very cool! Thank you buddy :D
thank you
My absolute pleasure :)
Music is an absolute banger in this game. Best PS1 game imo. I still have a hard copy.
Nice game, definitely has a bit of an MSX Konami Penguin Adventure "vibe". BTW, are you familiar with the channel "Memory Surge" Rich? In their video "20 Things Only Nerds Will Remember About The 1980s" they used one of your thumbnails talking about the Zee X Spectrum, whatever that is ;)
I shall have to check it out :) thanks buddy. Edit:- I have now corrected them on their pronunciation and thanked them for using my thumbnail. Feels good to be featured.
Brilliant video, thank you very much! Worth saying, that there's a 3rd button mapped on controller (usually right shoulder) to instantly fire a sub-weapon without the press and hold. The motivation for this remake, is kinda due to the original we got for Amiga back in 1990: gave the a wrong impression of the Amiga capabilities to a whole generation of newcomers (specially on emulation era). Speaking of remakes that are fixing the mistakes of the past, I'd suggest to search for Final Fight Enhanced. I liked it, a well made Amiga remake by Brick Nash with a solid gameplay.
Great to have you on the channel, thank you for stopping by. I have reviewed Final Fight enhanced, it's like re-living my childhood thanks to guys like you and Brick Nash that are bringing games that we should have had back in the golden era. I am looking forward to the finished product for Castlevania, it certainly shows a love for the genre too!
Delightful looking game, not enough games out there featuring penguins IMO 🐧
Spiffy new intro mate! Always nice to have a new Aliens inspired game. On a system that was hip when Aliens was fresh to boot. But back in the 80s there were some cool ones too though! For example: Force Seven (Team 17 must've liked this one a lot!) and Project Firestart spring to mind...
I'll have a look into those! Thanks buddy. Hope you are doing well my friend. I thought it was time for a fresh coat of paint on the intro to be fair, now my mojo for life seems to be back in balance and I am enjoying doing content again :D
One of my favorite NES beat em ups, second only to River City Ransom. One thing I've never understood and maybe you can explain it since you're British. How is using Nunchucks supposed to be more violent then using a Bo Staff, Swords or Sais?
I wish I had an answer, all I can say is - our censors were a little too strict, was the same for language in movies as well, some of them were plain ridiculous, but now often quoted. lol You can find examples on KZread.
Weird concept. Not as good as Bubble Bobble, but like you said, it’s ok. Psshhhh psshhh 😂😊
I enjoyed this! It brings back memories! Please can you review WWF Smackdown 2 Know Your Role, Ridge Racer Type 4 and Final Fantasy VII?
I will add them to my list! Thank you (Love the WWE games so will enjoy doing that one!)
One of the best games of the genre for the PsOne, along with thunder force
I enjoyed my time with this one and will come back to it again. Thunder Force you say? I shall investigate that one, thank you for the suggestion.
@@Games-Arcade Thunder Force V, for sure you will love it!
Now I’m drunk……😅
LOL!!! 😆
I'm going to wait for the English translation; The rescue of Alice's mother. ;)
lol :D
Wow, that must be the most boring intro in the history of fighting games! 3 will always be the one for me ❤
It doesn't get me excited to play it either mate. Strange because Namco usually are pretty good at hyping up the product in the intro!.....Maybe Tekken Tag Tournament 2's intro will be better :)
Fans of Amiga and Sega Gen/MD are getting a real treat , with Final Fight on Sega Gen and Final Fight Enhance on the Amiga in 2024
I have covered both of those on the channel, the MD is still in Demo form, but the Amiga Enhanced is finished now :) Can't beat a bit of Final Fight :D
The animation is spot on!!
Awesome review!! I don't see many people talk about this game much and it's a shame, because it's amazing. This is the only Turrican games I really love. It is guilty of being hard as balls and a bit unfair at times. But if you keep playing over and over, you can inche your way alone to complete it. Another underated game you should try is Gradius Galaxies for the GBA.. It's really good!!! Check it out.🤩👍👍
Cheers dude. I'll certainly have a look at that one! Thank you for the recommendation. Glad you enjoyed the review! :D
