Thank you! After almost 40 years I have witnessed the completion of this game! I was never able to get far in the actual arcade game, but seeing this is so satisfying and brings a chapter of my life to a close.
Yes, i'm Touhou fans and i remember when i was first time play Pocky Rocky & Becky with gba emulator and see Sayo Chan character design and i start thinking like "Wait? is that Reimu?"
I played this on Taito Legends 2, not knowing what it was. When I started, I said, "It's Pocky and Rocky!" But I gave up on it, because frankly I found Pocky and Rocky to be better, so I guess I was spoiled. I guess the next best thing to getting off my lazy butt and trying to beat it myself is to watch the long play, so thanks for this!
OMG ! One of my firsts video games ! I've played this for hours at the local "lunapark" ! Never finished it, too hard for me at this time. I will try again with MAME... Thank you for this longplay, I shoud not have found the "name of the game" without you.
I like challenging Light hearted Shooters..... This series, Parodius, Gunstar Heroes, Sections of Dynamite Headdy, even parts of Sin and Punishment are.
The second boss can be easily defeated with a game bug. You have just to stand in the left part of the screen, just below him. He will only stand and shoot, missing you every time. This because he can't hit anything inside a minimum range!
A shooting game in which you play as a miko in feudal Japan? Where have I seen that before? Although, in practice, this game seems to play more like a Legend of Zelda game. ^^; 3:25: Landorus sure looked a lot different before he moved to Unova... I seem to have forgotten where I've seen it before...I'm having a bit *Touhou* much trouble recalling the name of the *Project* ! I'll need a *Reimu* of hope to *Hakurei* my mind to remember the other game's name. ;D
I used to play this arcade game in Italy and I have it on Taito Legends 2 for Playstation 2. Damn you are good - I can NEVER make it past the fourth level no matter how hard I play.
Bellissimo rivederlo dp ca tanti anni ci ho speso una follia per arrivare alla fine. Non mi ricordavo che la perla azzurra nel quadro 8 li tenesse bloccati per tutto il tempo. Bravo! Anche se la versione da bar mi sembrava più stronza bastava un niente e morivi!
I first heard of this game from playing the Famicom version of Rainbow Island back when I was 5 years old! I remember the music, the Rokuro Kubi monsters, and the boss being Sayo lol!
@AdolphX i do know that, including the shrines which still exist but you can't deny the fact that a lot of the crazy stuff come from japan they are very creative, that's true, today's humor are usually visual based and grotesque type which follow the japanize style of humor, even in gaming it can be noticed that said, this game looks pretty cool but it's still weird xD i mean, throwing papers with rapid fire? :D
@RNorthex remember their culture is diferent than ours, besides they are WAY more creative than americans thats for sure, what you see in the game is like a priest, and its elimination ghosts with a special paper, that is history from japan, so its not weird
It's because the original arcade version uses a 16 bit yamaha soundchip. well for the PC Engine... It uses a 8bit soundchip even though it's the first 16 bit console ever.
@@Bloodreign1 Because it was marketed as a 16-bit system in the US on the grounds that it had a 16-bit graphics processor. Even though the CPU being 8-bit is generally well-known, the incorrect 16-bit tag stuck; the fact that the PC Engine was called the TurboGrafx-*16* in the US probably doesn't help.
As a kid, I liked the style of this game: the characters, the music... but F!!!!!! the "NO CONTINUE" !!! -__-) never even passed the 3rd stage, no matter how many coins I wasted.
Given that this game provides some inspiration for a certain series of Danmaku shooters, I would figure that the area where you can actually get hit is smaller than the character sprite, so something head-high would miss, in this case.
I loved the fight Seen music sometimes whn I was in a similar situation I’d hair the music in me head and whistle it tink this ghost&goblins pakland and championship race plus gauntlet was my top fanes of the 80s and double dragon
You have to match the number at the end to the last two digits of your score, sadly it is random if the numbers will match or not. If you get lucky to match them up, you get a continue.
Ahhhhh Memories.............This game makes me want to buy a Arcade Machine.! Can anyone remind me the name of a platform game with 4 characters/a boy dressed in blue.A girl in red with a bow in her hair/a big chunky rugby player guy and a skinny guy.and you could jump and fly/glide around ummmmmmm push down doors.the girl was the best character cause she could jump the best and the boy well he was the usual secound choice and the other 2 you would only use if you were board.Help Please.
Ever play Pocky and Rocky? Know Rocky a raccoon dog/tanuki? Well Rocky is his name in the western versions of that series, and before he partnered with Sayo/Pocky, he was her enemy.

Did you know? Reimu's character was inspired by Sayochan form kikikaikai
Yes, i'm Touhou fans and i remember when i was first time play Pocky Rocky & Becky with gba emulator and see Sayo Chan character design and i start thinking like "Wait? is that Reimu?"

ZUN really liked this game...
FUN FACT: PC-98 Reimu's Design were inspired by Sayo-chan from this game...
OMG ! One of my firsts video games ! I've played this for hours at the local "lunapark" ! Never finished it, too hard for me at this time. I will try again with MAME...
Thank you for this longplay, I shoud not have found the "name of the game" without you.
lolol this is the game I have been trying to find for ages. good memories
15:38 this boss is actually the boss of Kiki kaikai stage on bubble symphony game but it looks way more difficult here than in bubble bobble
Cute way to make the final boss more difficult: Make the boss you-sized!
AND RAINBOW ISLANDS
I've been trying to find this game for years! Could never remember the name of it, wouldn't have ever guessed it.
Sayo-chan's design reminds me of Reimu Hakurei from Touhou PC-98 games.
Exactly where her design was inspired! Also ZUN used to work for Taito.
@@phox2055 well I know...
@@phox2055 I guess he played this game when he was in middle school I suppose...
@@phox2055 and and at least I found a Touhou Fan like you in this section heh...
@@individuality367 yup it's unavoidable lol
Coming to the PS4. Cannot wait!
The original, and one I find harder than the later SNES sequels. Pocky and Rocky? Pfft no, Sayo-chan and Manuke.
True!
Pocky and Rocky, you stupid and simple basic bitches...argue otherwise, you elitist fucking trolls, and it will not end well for you two.
Who the fuck is Sayo-Chan?
objectively pocky and rocky are better names
@@paxhumana2015 what
touhou project before touhou
haha i love sayo-chan the character
Reimu is kind of inspired in sayochan. And the game itself it similar except for the mechanic
No, it’s before pocky and rocky
@@Kourumeme i dont think so
@@hoangtranviet2476 this is the prequel to pocky and rocky

Oh man i thought id almost completed the game in the arcade all those years ago . . . i was miles away from finishing it :(
I used to play this arcade game in Italy and I have it on Taito Legends 2 for Playstation 2. Damn you are good - I can NEVER make it past the fourth level no matter how hard I play.
One of the toughest game
Just proto-Reimu doing her thing, don't mind

I remember playing this game in North America it was called "knife boy" though.
Knight Boy
This was my favourite game growing up. I could get through the entire game 3 times over 🤪
I first heard of this game from playing the Famicom version of Rainbow Island back when I was 5 years old! I remember the music, the Rokuro Kubi monsters, and the boss being Sayo lol!
Oh wow, I didn't know the Rainbow Islands stage was from this.
Juego brutal, buena música, enemigos por todos los lados, con historia y saca monedas de tus ahorros espectacular ❤❤❤
Just for curiosity, what does mean the green ball coming out from the well in 1:08 is that a youkai thing?
Everything in this game is yokai based.
interesting how this game before pocky and rocky 1 and yet it has bosses from pocky and rocky 2
😢 que precioso juego, me lleva a mi niñez
dont worry bout one year late, its been over 20 years since i play psychic five so 1 year just a blink for me.
correct. gods of thunder and wind. their names were Raijin and Fujin, iirc.
Kid: Mom I want Touhou
Mom: We have Touhou at home
Touhou at home:
well the first Touhou game were released in 1996-1997 for the PC-98...
damn, weapon upgrades don't come easy in this game
Oh, cool, another Tsunao longplay! :)
@ValisHD
Yeaahh the boss was busy at the moment so...
Came here after watching AVGN.
hardest game ever! im only at the stage 3 boss! DX
@AdolphX i do know that, including the shrines which still exist
but you can't deny the fact that a lot of the crazy stuff come from japan
they are very creative, that's true, today's humor are usually visual based and grotesque type which follow the japanize style of humor, even in gaming it can be noticed
that said, this game looks pretty cool but it's still weird xD
i mean, throwing papers with rapid fire? :D
This screen looks like Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
EXTRAORDINARIAMENTE IMPOSIBLE
The SNES game is a sequel.
Actually, there are two SNES games, as well as a GBA game, and they are all better than this game. You know them as the Pocky and Rocky Trilogy.
oh and thanks Bloodreign1
I never would have found it due to your memorybank.
believe it or not, Reimu is based on Sayo-Chan.
ScareScraper Totals of F3 19:10 Penguin Toad
It's mixed of Reimu Hakurei for PC-98 version and Window version.
A year late I am, but you are welcome.
@RNorthex well thats the way they exorstisy (is that spelled right?)
I have BGM Official of Kiki Kaikai
Pocky and Rocky \m/
The main character looks a bit like Reimu.
*Ghosts*
I think is the other way around, this came out in 1986 as an arcade game.
@RNorthex remember their culture is diferent than ours, besides they are WAY more creative than americans thats for sure,
what you see in the game is like a priest, and its elimination ghosts with a special paper, that is history from japan, so its not weird
Bullshit, you racist prick...creativity comes from the individual, and not from the culture.
when i see japanize games like this
i dunno if i should consider myself sane or lacking of drug based creativity to come up with something like this
How does this game look and sound better on the TurboGrafx than in the arcade?
It's because the original arcade version uses a 16 bit yamaha soundchip. well for the PC Engine... It uses a 8bit soundchip even though it's the first 16 bit console ever.
@@individuality367 PC Engine is considered an 8 bit machine, not sure how people keep getting that confused.
I prefer the sound on the arcade more, but the game is fun on the home version
@@Bloodreign1 Because it was marketed as a 16-bit system in the US on the grounds that it had a 16-bit graphics processor. Even though the CPU being 8-bit is generally well-known, the incorrect 16-bit tag stuck; the fact that the PC Engine was called the TurboGrafx-*16* in the US probably doesn't help.
I should do the cosplay Sayo-chan Kiki Kaikai in upcoming 2024 Halloween when I am age 30!
Was also realeased for the Famicom, am I right? Is there a Famicom ROM out there?
Famicom Disk System, though I don't believe it's a straight port of the arade game. It also saw an MSX release with choppy scrolling.
I remember playing a game similar to this as a kid with big bosses but I can't remember the name. I don't think this is it.
If you played the Pocky and Rocky series, that is a continuation of this game.
As a kid, I liked the style of this game: the characters, the music... but F!!!!!! the "NO CONTINUE" !!!
-__-) never even passed the 3rd stage, no matter how many coins I wasted.
Yo Reimu
3:16 WTF, ARE THE BOSS the pokemon THUNDURUS???darn
pura nostalgia
mengingatkanku 34 thn yg lalu
how can not have died at 14:58 and 16:09? You obviously made contact with enemy fire.
Looks like you got cheat on.

Pocky and rocky
How do I continue this game?
You have to match the number at the end to the last two digits of your score, sadly it is random if the numbers will match or not. If you get lucky to match them up, you get a continue.
Pocky and Rocky ???
This is the game that led to that series.
Ahhhhh Memories.............This game makes me want to buy a Arcade Machine.!
Can anyone remind me the name of a platform game with 4 characters/a boy dressed in blue.A girl in red with a bow in her hair/a big chunky rugby player guy and a skinny guy.and you could jump and fly/glide around ummmmmmm push down doors.the girl was the best character cause she could jump the best and the boy well he was the usual secound choice and the other 2 you would only use if you were board.Help Please.
The Ninja Kids?
That's Psychic 5

The prequel.

What a short game
Short yes, but like a lot of short games in that time, the difficulty can be quite brutal.
Alrighty. :D
WOW 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The final boss is Pedobear?
Ever play Pocky and Rocky? Know Rocky a raccoon dog/tanuki? Well Rocky is his name in the western versions of that series, and before he partnered with Sayo/Pocky, he was her enemy.
i saw Kasa Obake is from Yokai Monsters
Those are just enemies in this game
Great
It's not. Thundurus is based on that guy anyway, I think it's japanese folklore stuff.
_Nothing_ to do with Touhou and _not_ a worst game anymore!
Ridículo,esse canal só posta vídeo usando cheat,o cara tá de imortal 😅
I Was Absolute Crap At This Game, The Nut God Kept On Killing Me!
Touhou 00
kikyo?
No its Reimu
rulez!!!!!!
EYE RIKE DIS GAYEM!
I thought I really missed this game. But when I watched this video, I didn't anymore. That's why I disliked.
