In the stand-up arcade version of this game, my little brother was able to make it to the rank of Brigadier General on ONE quarter. That was 24 years ago, and I still feel pride at his skill.
I’ll live on die on those games I may not have been born in the 90s but damn glad for arcades as a kid and still glad for these games

@@booker9879 yep, Maximum Force(which Atari Games/Mesa Logic did shortly after this game). I had always yearned for an N64 version, but due to that system's cartridge format at the time, the publisher and Atari's parent corporation at the time(Williams/Midway) thought it wasn't worth doing it on console. IMO, they should've looked at how Capcom did Resident Evil on the N64 and figured out a way pull off that same trick.

I remember never being able to get the tank top secret level, but being able to get every other secret more or less; the screen would scroll too fast for me to hit all the windows. Same thing with the get a life level. Some of the secret levels seem different compared to the arcade version; the arcade had a shake your buddha level. You also didn't unlock the kronn hunter mode. One thing I also loved about this arcade game was that the better you did (like the higher your accuracy was and the more bonus items you hit), the more enemies would appear and the faster they'd shoot at you; sorta like a built in difficulty gauge.

It's a tricky battle, I'll say that. But I've managed to beat the final boss ship a couple times because I've seen a few other people on KZfaq do it first. The key: aim for the ship itself and try to ignore as many of the alien soldiers as possible. Harder than it sounds though.

Great vid. Never seen someone play this game without getting hit. I play the arcade version myself. Haven't had the ps1 version since the game was ported there. There seems to be extra secret levels in mine that you didn't do and some in yours that I don't see in the version I play through. Maybe it's a matter of execution but I'm wondering why they would program the two differently but be so similar in the other 99 percent of the game. Either way. Loved the video. One of my favorite games of all time. I play it a few days a week multiple times.

There definitely is something off about this video. Some secrets missed, I think, but it’s been a long time since I played it. And the RNG gods were never this generous. There was one moment in particular, at about 23:20, where two aliens on opposite sides of the screen were blasted at the same time and no grenade was spent. I kept rewatching it and that alien on the right side shouldn’t have been killed

There's another secret room. Im not 100% sure how to replicate it. But you get to it in the area between 17:22 and 17:23. It takes you to an area where you shoot watermelons. After playing this game countless times on PS1 as a kid I found it last night on an arcade version my partner and I happened across. Ive literally not been able to find it anywhere on the internet. Maybe it happens if you shoot the dark grey things (bombs?) on the floor at the bottom? Also wow. I thought I was hot crap at this game 0.0 Edit: Ok, I did find it on the internet. Apparently the room is called Mellon Head. You get to it by shooting the windows, I think. I think its also only for the Area 51/Max Force combo arcade machine.
