+neozeed1984 Thanks

Play the other aleste games, they are far better. Space megaforce is the weakest entry to the series, like most snes games

@@mariowario5945 What platform are the other Aleste games on?

@@mikew1507 Master system, msx, sega genesis (having musha aleste, which is by far the best in the series), gamegear (gg aleste is the second best), pcengine and sega cd. If you love space megaforce, you will definitly get a kick out of the others! One of my favorites besides the other two is powerstrike on the master system, it is pretty tough though, but one hell of a game! I reccomend even trying batsugun, which isnt a part of the aleste series, but is considered to be the best shmup of all time and takes inspirtation from aleste.

You can also wait for the aleste collection, which will have the first two and the two gamegear games plus a brand new entry to the gamegear, gg aleste 3. The aleste collection is coming on the switch sometime in november.

Super Aleste (aka Space Megaforce over there) was my favourite shoot em up on the SNES when I was a kid - this video gives me all the feels !

SG1984 i think the neo geo had 24 bit.

Did you play Adventures of Batman and Robin for the Genesis? Not a true shmup but had a ton of shmup levels and the rest was like Contra (run n gun). Most impressive 16-bit graphics I've ever seen

ligthening force iv.....

@@youisiaint Looks great but I think Axelay is more impressive. (And Contra 3 too btw)

Included NEO GEO. Amazing game, nothing seen like it ever since.

100k+ views isnt exactly little..lol

He said Space mega force is the best shooter.

@@fidelsolis6070 not the best but good enough

I just played this for the first time and it’s already one of my favorite games. It’s a Compile developed shooter so it takes a lot of cues from another couple NES favorites: Zanac and Gun Nac.

@@fazares i posted that 6 years ago douche

You can say that but the best 16-bit shmup is thunder force 4 and that is a well documented fact.

@@StaticTV80 Scrambled Valkirye is better than Thunder Force IV

The problem is, Space Megaforce is basically a downgraded version of Blazing Lazers. For the guy who said Thunder Force 4, while its the most technically impressive, they ruined the fun factor. Not a single power up makes you feel powerful, because so many basic enemies have so many hit points. Thunder Force 3 is much funner. Scrambled Valkyrie is tons of fun but not the best in my opinion. For me the best 16 bit shmup is clearly Lords of Thunder. Honestly its also better than the Neo Geo shmups, its just that good. Honorable mention to Gleylancer, the best non-CD 16 bit shmup in my opinion.

That game looks really awesome! The price tag is pretty dang high though

It wasn't too bad when I bought mine last year. I think it is starting to rise though.

Thanks for watching

Thanks Kyle

Very cool. Macross looks impressive. Your collection must cost a small fortune now a days.

Darius Twin was one of the first SNES games I bought (I got my SNES shortly after launch) because the art in the previews looked awesome. Maybe it's nostalgia, but I've always loved this game.

the OST is pretty awesome in Darius Twin as well but i noticed that it's more enjoyable if u don't pause the game ever because i found out that the tempo of the music and the momentum of the enemies comming to attack you are kinda synchronized, that makes me apreciate the game more

Also called Firepower 2000. The first swiv is actually amazing for the time. Edit: Got to the part that mentions it. Ignore me, lol.

lol how they figured out how *not* to have slowdown is a really really amazing feat by the programmers - props up to the devs! 🙌

Thanks for watching!

Try to find the PAL version "Super Aleste"! I found my copy for 30€'s!

Try it on hard difficulty! It is ridiculous. There’s these little blue planes I call blue angels, often six spawn at a time and each shoots up to six bullets. 42 things coming right at you from different points instantly. Tip: you gotta feel and be one with the music to succeed.

I used to be good at this game, but now can’t beat it. Seems more difficult than used to. But still addicting. It is great game for sure.

snes is shit for shmups. it's WEAK. no way around it.

Not quite. The 65816 in the SNES is only 3.58MHz for rom accesses if the cartridge is FastROM, and always only 2.68MHz for ram accesses vs the 68000 in the Genesis that is always 7.68MHz. However, the 68000 can only access memory every 4 cycles unlike the 65816 that accesses every cycle. However (again), the bus width of the 68000 is twice that of the 65816 (16bit vs 8bit). Taking all that into consideration, the processing power of the SNES and Genesis would appear to be the same: 2(times the clockspeed)/4(the number of cycles per memory access)x2(bus width)=1 vs. 1. However (again again), the 68000 can do 32bit calculations in hardware (which makes me wonder why more people don't consider it to be a 32bit processor?) and has multiplication and division instructions that the 65816 lack. The SNES has two sets of hardware registers for multiplication and division (the better ones cannot be used if mode 7 is, which is when you'd want to use it the most...), but writing to and reading from these is slower than the multiplication and division instructions of the 68000, which are already slow as molasses. Finally, the SNES planar graphics format is far less friendly for software rendering than the Genesis packed pixel one.While still a more powerful processor overall (nowhere near what the clockspeed would lead you to believe), most of the 68000's advantages really aren't realized in any non 3D games (where 32bit operations and multiplication and division are essential). ;====================================================================================== Kuralthys is totally correct. Many SNES devs (especially at the beginning of the SNES's life) have been discovered through reverse engineering the games to do some very stupid stuff regarding sprites. The SNES, unlike virtually every other system ever made, has its sprite data across two tables, one being 512 bytes and the other being 32 bytes (which was, admittedly, a really stupid design choice). Each sprite uses 4 bytes in the first table, and 2 bits in the second table. The first table has 8 of the x-coordinate bits, while the second table has one. Instead of making one table in software and going through a routine that later divides it up, developers would, for every time a sprite needed to be manipulated (basically whenever anything would move), get the data needed from both tables, convert it into something useable (put the 9th x-coordinate bit after the 8 from the other table), do whatever, convert it back, then put the data back in whatever table it belongs. This requires multiple unnecessary AND and OR intructions, and lots and lots of bitshifts, and considering you may need to do this as much as 128 times a frame (objects, like Donkey Kong in DKC are actually made of multiple sprites), it amounts to being hella slow. You could argue this is about development time, but it's actually so much faster, from both from a programming and processing perspective, that I have no idea why this was done in the first place. Sorry for the essay...

Do I recognize that avatar from nesdev?

KuraIthys SNES CPU IS WEAK. really, it is a really primitive CPU on 8-bit bus, and in most games it doesn’t work at 3.58 MHz.

Drew Sebastino if you call 68000 16-bit then you really have to call 65816 8-bit :) Anyway, don’t forget that 68000 has many 32-bit registers and more powerful instruction set, while 65816 has to do more memory accesses also due to inability to hold many temporary values in registers. Via 8-bit bus.

Over 35years?

@@greensun1334 Whoops. Should have put “25 years”
