Descripción: See title.

Descripción: The sequel to Hudson's Milon's Secret Castle for the NES/Famicom. Like its predecessor, it's a simple but addictive platformer with some creative level design and a really soothing soundtrack. Recommended if you're ever in the mood for some light-hearted fun. This video is just a playthrough of the first few levels.

Descripción: The final installment in the Wonderboy series, and probably the best. My favorite title for the Megadrive, next to Phantasy Star IV. A crying shame this gem wasn't never released outside of Japan, but thanks to Demiforce, English speaking gamers can now fully experience it. This video shows off the first dungeon, Mute Tower. Unfortunately, the sound isn't emulated perfectly; there's the occasio...

Descripción: The definitive version of River City Ransom. This is just some arbitrary gameplay footage from the beginning.

Descripción: One of the holy grail titles for the system. Is it worth the price of admission? Yes and no. The gameplay is awesome and the difficulty is reasonably high, I guess, but the level design kinda sucks. Despite that, still one of the best 16-bit shmups out there.

Descripción: A decent overhead action title from HAL Lab, published by Squaresoft. Who knows why it wasn't localized.

Descripción: Another pretty excellent shmup from Compile. Unlike their previous titles, which take place in ancient Japan, this game has more of a fantasy-oriented setting. As far as the weapon system is concerned, you collect different colored orbs, of which you can hold three at a time. Your weapon is determined by the combination of colors that you currently have, allowing for a lot of variety and dept...

Descripción: Enix's popular oddball action/platformer + god-sim hybrid. Fans of the U.S. version should note that the action-oriented levels were simplified in the domestication, so the Super Famicom version is a lot harder in that respect. Level design was changed, more enemies spawn, enemies take more hits to die, you take more damage, etc. Oddly enough, though, the god-sim levels are actually much easier in...

Descripción: Damn fine shmup right here. One of, if not the rarest PC Engine title, too. This is a full playthrough of Stage 1 on Normal Mode, with no deaths (trust me, a lot harder than it looks).

Descripción: Act 1 of Northwall: my favorite level. Note the exploit I take advantage of against the boss to score some easy damage. Anyway, only a couple changes here: - More enemies, of course - Level design change: there aren't any spikes in the floating ice-block part in the SNES version

Descripción: Act 2 of Fillmore. Differences in this level between the NA and JPN versions: - More enemies - Different BGM - Boss is faster

Descripción: One of the better Famicom games never to reach U.S. shores. I dig the game for the most part, but the Prince of Persia-esque jump physics and movement can cause some occasional grief, particularly for the boss battles. Playthroughs of stages 1 and 2. Recorded with FCE Ultra.

Descripción: Differences in this level between the NA and JPN versions: - More enemies - Some recolored sprites

Descripción: The raid on Zeppelin Wolf's castle. Just barely beat him without dying. Anyway, the only notable difference between the NA and JPN versisons on this level are more enemies. Oh, and those gargoyle statues fire two fireballs as opposed to one.

Descripción: For those not in the know, Skyblazer is a criminally underrated action/platformer for the SNES/SFC, developed and published by Sony Imagesoft. This is going to be a full game-run, as requested by LaLiLuLeLoSnake. Keeping it segmented as purely a personal preference (for those who kinda have ADD for this sort of thing like myself). This vid contains the prologue stage, Faltine's Woods, an...

Descripción: Act 1 of Aitos. No major differences here, some enemies just take more hits to kill, and those falling bamboo gates don't have a sound effect in this version.

Descripción: A Nintendo Power puzzle/platformer with further expansions possible with the Bandai Sattelaview. This is a quick demo of the first seven levels; after that, they start becoming mind fucks. Recorded with ZSNES and Fraps.

Descripción: Now, this is a level that I'm glad was butchered for the SNES version. It's hands-down the hardest act in the game. Hell, it probably has the most difficult boss in the SFC version, too. For those reasons, don't expect a stellar performance here. Anyway, many differences here between the NA and JPN versions: - More enemies - Enemies react more quickly/attack at a faster rate - The headless sp...

Descripción: Hagane is an obscure action/platformer released by Hudson/Red way back in 1994 for SNES/SFC. It's a shame this gem didn't get much attention; the game is entirely too badass. Think Shinobi mixed with Strider and you have something close. Anyway, what you see here is just a quick breeze through the first level. I put the emphasis more on displaying Hagane's kick ass set of moves, as opposed to j...

Descripción: This game is a hilarious, over-the-top platformer by Enix. Some guy with a violin and a star-struck girl team up to save a village from impending disaster. Most of the gameplay is centered around the girl: you'll throw her at your foes, use her as a step stool, bait enemies with her, and even use her as a shield. The best part is, though, that she can transform into different animals to help y...
