So glad I had a "ghjetto bl4ster" in my bedroom while I was playing Atari STe games, listening to music of the time.

Commodore in the Uk actually bundled this with the C64 back in the day. It was called the midnight resistance pack funnily enough. I’ve owned the zx specy, c64 and Amiga have to say the C64 version was my favourite but hats off to the specy for being one of the few to have both sfx and music together.

C64 version was the one I grew up with. Also, WTH is up with "Dad... Mom... Sis... Please be careful..."???!!?? What does it mean???!!

The opening subtitle of the Japanese version is "Father! Mother! My sisters! please stay alive!" (父よ！母よ！妹達よ！生きていくれ！), which has a slightly different meaning than the English version.(I used deepL.)

Spectrum version is a great port but I said good bye to it when I got the Mega Drive version in 1991. Some of Data East Arcade games have appeared on the PSN store like Two Crude Dues but Midnight Resistance hasn't appeared yet sadly.

Thanks for your videos bro, it's always so nostalgic!

I'm glad we're past the era of "SFX or music, not both!"

The soundtrack on the Commodore C64 version is "chefs kiss" superb!

I have never played the arcade original but as far as ports go my favourite are Mega Drive, Amiga and Commodore 64. It looks and sounds like a tie-in game for a movie that Cannon Films would have made. I like the gameplay better than any Contra game (I know I'm in the minority here, but Contra games don't do much for me), controls can be a bit floaty but it's a lot of fun nonetheless. With just one button, they couldn't do better for the Amiga and the Commodore 64. The Mega Drive port has a lot of different control options, none of which is perfect but you can certainly adjust to some of them. People complain about the flute samples being used for the Amiga sound track, but they're not that bad, in facts all the ports sounds great. The dim colours on the Amiga, however, are a lot less excusable.

This is great seeing version comparisons again

Sega sounds amazing. I’m surprised Amiga has no parallax scrolling.

The C64 soundtrack was phenomenal for a 8 bit computer, IMHO.

I wonder what happened with the Amiga port. It's dark because of incorrect conversation of the graphics from the Atari ST, but it's clearly not a direct port of that game because it has much better scrolling and gameplay. Odd that they put the effort in to make the Amiga version really good in every aspect, except the colour palette.

I loved playing this on the Atari STe back in the day.

Props to whoever managed to squeeze such a demanding game on to the 128k with sound effects AND music!

Existe uma versão arcade em que as músicas são diferentes da original.

Sadly the Amiga can rarely keep up with Genesis for 2D scrollers. Genesis is an active and very deserving homebrew scene nowadays.

I had the Speccy 128 K version. Considering the machine was probably the underdog out of all those others, they did an excellent job of the port, with chunky sprites that had character, instead of the bland, faceless ones the ST and Amiga had. And the coundtrack was great, too!

The arcade is the best one but if we’re talking about Home ports it’s a tossup between the mega driver version and the Amiga version. If the Amiga version had sound and music at the same time, it would be the best .

I used to play this on the Amiga, although I don't remember it looking so dark (as in the first non-patched version). I think the best version must go to either the Arcade original or Sega Megadrive port, since that seems to look as good while suffering from less slowdown when many sprites are on screen.

Hey!, creo que la versión de Genesis hasta suena mejor en música. Solo le faltan las voces y los colores son mas oscuros, pero es cosa de nada, espero que este mi parte favorita en donde peleas con el barco y los aviones que van se reduciendo en numero en el fondo según los vas destruyendo.

megadrive/genesis is probably the best version here, but sadly it doesn't include 2 players mode. So I go with Amiga version.

Arcade always wins but otherwise: 1: Megadrive/Genesis. (Badass music) 2: C64 is a very good 8 Bit version 3: Amiga version

I love this guys videos!

Genesis all the way, graphically a bit lower to the arcade but has the kick ass soundtrack

daora, joguei muito no meu Megão! é o melhor port

Its great for speccy standards

The Genesis and the patched Amiga versions seem great. Until you play the Arcade one 🙂

actually liked the C64 version, i think i got it free when i bought a 1541 MKII disk drive.

Great video 👍 I had no idea metal slug was a rip off 😳 ZX Spectrum let the cat out of the bag 😜 😂🤣😂🤣

C64 version was super!

移植としてはメガドライブ版が一番だな。 欲を言えば二人同時プレイを再現して欲しかったけど、あまり無理な処理をさせて処理落ちやスプライト欠けが起こるよりはこのままの方が良いか。 実際、AC版より軽快に遊べるし😄

Me sigue asombrando como Ocean pudo sacar al mercado la version de Amiga con un bug tan evidente, se nota ademas que es una conversion directa de Atari ST. La version de Spectrum brutal y redonda, y la de CPC un port disminuido en todo (como siempre por parte de Special FX). Como usuario de Amstrad y despues de haber jugado al Gryzor, recuerdo en la epoca, un hype tremendo con este juego. De los juegos que compre originales en su fecha de salida!. La OST de Megadrive es fantastica por cierto.

i like the genesis version :)

Genesis best music...

The Genesis has the awesome revamped music yet the sound effects are exceptionally weak compared to the arcade. Is there somebody out there who could give us a "Best of Both Worlds" edition?

i prefer the atari music on intro

C64 version was the Best 🤗

Amiga for the music Megadrive for the dynamic play(impressive version) Amstrad, Soectrum and Atari are awful

Isn't this basically just a Contra knockoff or did this exist before Contra was made?

bua,,, la version de amiga colega, vaya FX q le han puesto los señores de OCEAN, version superdigna de la recreativa, para mi mejores sprites y animacion en amiga, pero con peores fondos, tambien se nota como mas apagada en colores no? , y claro, luego sacas la doble paleta y brillo, q en serio, no entiendo eso en las versiones. en 8 bits, la version de amstrad como la de ATARI, son basura por el tema del scroll, en estos juegos es muy importante, y directamente es un juego para tirarlo al trash. En spectrum no se nota tanto, pero está ahí ahí, cuando lo jugué en su dia , no me gustó mucho por eso, pero claro, en aquellos entonces, me dabas un mojon del wasap y jugaba y lopeor,,, q FLIPABA, fliapba por entonces con las "maquinitas" , llamadas ahora game&watch,,,,, jajajajaj. buen video y buen rato como siempre.

Genesis!

The game is closer to the game Contra

Atari St version is pretty much ruined with that jump-scrolling and im glad that is not copied on amiga, but amiga version is lacking the parallax background layer from arcade. C64 is a decent 8-bit port and CPC is just not up to it, due to low fps. ZX is almost as bad as CPC just uglier.

Lol atari st version where is the music? Man the Sega version has better music, sound and graphics than the arcade version. I just wish it was two players.

what does mean “arcade” version?

Sega megadrive wins

complicated for 8 bit versions 🤔🤔😥😥

I wondered if it had any relation to Heavy Barrel. It's the same developer so it does borrow some elements. Looks like an interesting game overall. Arcade looks the best version, while Mega Drive looks like a good port as well. And again for some reason I like how ZX Spectrum 48K game looks and sounds.

Amiga! Looks great, beautiful music.... WTF are the SFX?!

Genesis => Definitive Edition
