I was playing that on a cracked amiga version, in my youth. Despite infinite health and lives, it always felt like this game took entire days to finish. It was so intense, so creative, so full of sensations! Guuuuh, memories !!!
How did the controls work on systems like Genesis? I owned the arcade of this, well it was midnight resistance but inside of a time soldiers cabinet , I remember the joysticks rotated so u can point the gun in different directions but how would that work on sega Genesis?
@@s.mendoza5705 the system where you don't have rotating joystick you have a button to rotate the 🔫... You have diffetent options for controls so you can customize how it works...
@@nayyarrashid4661 thought that must be the case... as I bought a pandoras box that has a few thousand games on it, and games like this need one of those kinda joysticks, unfortunately its not on my console
Wow the memories! I was watching robocop 2 and paused the arcade scene - so many iconic games in there! This was one of them (along with bad dudes, sly spy and I think Shinobi) - played slyspy last night and will be playing midnight run later. Those gun shop voice samples are so
I love the opening sequence. Dudes just running unarmed towards the jeep and dying immediately. Even the guys who come from behind... you think they're going to do something cool, but they just die when they touch the back of the jeep too.
In MAME on cell phone to be able to rotate the weapon. 1) Press "Coin" and "Start" to open the secret menu. 2) Go to the "Input (this game)" option. 3) Go to "Positional Analog Dec" option on controller P1 and press "B" to open the options, then press "C". 4) Go to "Positional Analog Inc" option on controller P1 and press "B" to open the options, then press "D". 5) If you want you can do it on controller P2 too. 6) If you make a mistake, press "B" and then press "Exit" to reset everything. 7) The game "Heavy Barrel" which is the predecessor of this game, has the same system of rotate the weapon.
+Nicolas Fragapane The best feature about the actual arcade version was that it had a kind of roto-dial directional stick that you could rotate around like a wheel and be able with it to fire in all directions.
Thanks for posting! My go to options in the arcade was the 3-way gun but emulators don't allow the ability to move the gun around making it really hard to play. The arcade game had an 8-way joy stick that made this game awesome. I like how you chose options to make an area easier, example the Nitro add in is a good option for the missing 8-way joystick. I've been trying to find a way to make this game playable with emulators with out the 8-way, and watching this helped!
@ciaran perry Great Question. I've used the MAME emulator for quite a while. Never found a way to enable the 8-way joystick but maybe I should look again.
Let me get this straight: bad guy captures good guy's family, fills his base with weapon lockers, gives his henchies the keys, sends them kill good guy with their bare hands and then taunts the good guy saying he'll kill him and his family after taking them prisoner and good guy still finds MORE weapon lockers at bad guy's base that only he can open? Video game logic at its finest. 😎
@@Jack21Spades Same actually! I could never remember what this games name was. But I could always remember that weapon room and the keys. Took till 2023 for me to see the name Data East and suddenly something clicked and said search for their game library. Better late than never!
Incredible game!! A few things 1 - Some of those enemies are running towards the main characters with no guns at all which is insane 2 - The game becomes easy enough for six year old girls once the main character has super powered up fire
Midnight Resistance is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and AMAZING arcade game with Sylvester Stallone as a soldier trying to save his family pick a weapon 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Now I know that it's a 1989 release. This video game is a combination of "Victory Road," the Apple lle video game called "Clyde 1," the online computer video game called "Blue Shift," the Rated Mature video game called "Narc," the 1990 Williams Electronics video game called "Smash TV," and the 1993 apple lle video game called "Bio Menace."
The Data East sound guys did a pretty good job on this game, though the Genesis port had the luck of having Hitoshi Sakimoto doing the soundtrack for it.
played this game in the arcade, found out the bosses don't die no matter how much you shoot them, all timers so they die no matter if you hit them or not
Nadie lo ha notado o nadie lo jugo en verdad, este gameplay de alguna forma esta en modalidad easy y se ve claramente que los enemigos tocan al personaje, yo solo lo jugue en arcada, de hombre, quisas eso sea la diferencia que veo.
Data East had a habit of making games too ambitious for the hardware they were developing the games for. Their ideas were good, but often caused slowdown in their arcade games.
Data East was always ambitious, often times overambitious and their hardware couldn't quite run their games (and ideas) without some hiccups. More powerful hardware was needed to run games that Data East were making.
Actually, if you don;t save a family member, they will be missing from the end screen. In addition, for every family member you don't save, you will see a shooting star in the end screen (they all streak across the screen at the same time). Spent way too many quarters on this one, but it was worth every penny. Wish I had the stand up.
u r playing easy level.. so u didn't use nitro and super power ... whenever I played it , it was impossible for me to complete without nitro,homeo ,nitro ...

This takes me so back
SUPER power up!

@@TheNomad2727You can buy a rotary joystick separately but you have to put it in the stick yourself.
Probably the best Contra clone...loved it back in '89.
I was looking for this game for 20 years. Thanks!
1:33 the memories of picking a weapon in this room all come flooding back.
Que recuerdos...parece q fue ayer cuando le depositaba una ficha un juego inolvidable gracias por los recuerdos.
The sounds the enemies make when they die crack me up a bit, heh.
“OOT.”
I laughed at 18:25; "Thanks, bro!" Oh, Data East, why can't you guys make games again?
Data East was a really good game developer
U r welcome
OG game from my care-free arcade-playing days!
8:06 the fact that one guy took out a whole fleet of fighter jets in less than 2 minutes is...wasteful of tax dollars
The final boss is an giant unmasked Robocop who heaves horseshoe aliens at you then vomits brain hair balls then morphs into Krang from TMNT....
Unmasked robocop? That's funny, I'm here because I was rewatching robocop 2.
the music on this game is badass
+edek
Yeah, you're right. It did sound a little better. The music for the Genesis version was more bright.
Paul Contreras try the c 64 version.the best.
This is one of those very, very rare cases where the port sounds better than the arcade.
@Deedlit Who the composer was mate? Didn't really know she was a woman too.
Omg.....I remember this game I use to play it on the C64 with a tape deck....lots of memory’s....loved it
Robocop 2 brought me here. “OFFICER DUFFY!” -Murphy/Robocop
Weird how the final boss even looks a bit like Robocop :/
i did too came here after robocop2
Me three! Never noticed all that product placement in the movie as a kid. Next is Data East's _Sly Spy!_
Could be the same face from Robocop, because Data East had the copy rigth of the movie 🙌😎 to do the video game, wich was cool..!
Same here...now I realize they r all data easts
Wow the memories! I was watching robocop 2 and paused the arcade scene - so many iconic games in there! This was one of them (along with bad dudes, sly spy and I think Shinobi) - played slyspy last night and will be playing midnight run later. Those gun shop voice samples are so
Me aventé todo el video.
I love the opening sequence.
Dudes just running unarmed towards the jeep and dying immediately. Even the guys who come from behind... you think they're going to do something cool, but they just die when they touch the back of the jeep too.
The final boss is named King Crimson.
Let that sink in.
Me llevo 5 años en encontrar este exelente juego que jugue en el 91
Awesome game, had hours of fun on this machine.
In MAME on cell phone to be able to rotate the weapon.
1) Press "Coin" and "Start" to open the secret menu.
2) Go to the "Input (this game)" option.
3) Go to "Positional Analog Dec" option on controller P1 and press "B" to open the options, then press "C".
4) Go to "Positional Analog Inc" option on controller P1 and press "B" to open the options, then press "D".
5) If you want you can do it on controller P2 too.
6) If you make a mistake, press "B" and then press "Exit" to reset everything.
7) The game "Heavy Barrel" which is the predecessor of this game, has the same system of rotate the weapon.
Es uno de los mejores juegos que yo jugué no cabe duda que ésos tiempo no regresarán noches nunca...
Was hooked on this in Arcade always finished it
Data East were one of the greatest arcade developers of all time.
A lawsuit Capcom got laughed out of court for, and promptly lost.
Good game, this is very impressive

Even thought it may be a Contra"clone",Fantastic music,great power-ups,makes it it's own game.
Un pinché juegazo 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Music so cool
Wish i could relive those childhood memories
I had this on the ZX Spectrum and it was really good. Until today I had no idea it was an arcade conversion! :)
Thats one beast ass suspension 7:11

Exactly. This should've been made also in a movie.
Aliens not bad guys
@@nayyarrashid4661 Human bad guys controlled by mutant mastermind
He was probably a bit preoccupied with the surgery to turn himself into a giant bio-mechanical robocop head
It's a bit like how the bad guys in MacGyver always lock him in a storage room so he can construct something to escape, rather than just shooting him🤣
This brings back memories. I had forgotten all about this game.
I had this game in my mind since 1992, and hadn't seen it until 28Nov'19... smmfh

NITRO!
Played this on my childhood.
"Officer Duffy, have a seat!"
(Robocop pushes Duffy in the arcade cabinet called midnight resistance)
Amazing game outstanding ❤
You sold us out officer Duffy!
I wish times goes back and eternal childhood...
Best childhood Game😢
This game is pretty similar to Heavy Barrel, this is the prequel/sequel or something like that?
it is a sequel
How is it a sequel? The gameplay is completely different!
The C64 port of this was pretty playable!
I remember discovering this game watching RoboCop 2 :)
I miss my childhood
When there was no PS5 Xbox GTA5 pubG n all 🙌
does anyone else remember the glitch where u could just lay or go prone under the tank at 3.41 and it would just die on its own. thank me later
yep always played it that way
Angrilly yelling at you: PICK A WEAPON!
With those vertical stages, it's a shame this wasn't revived for the DS. Seems like it would've been the perfect platform for a sequel or remaster.

It's amazing how much better the Genesis / MD port sounds compared to this

played this game in the arcade, found out the bosses don't die no matter how much you shoot them, all timers so they die no matter if you hit them or not
You didn't pick Super Power at all. Are you kidding me??👏👏👏 I played this game 100s of times. Was never able to finish without picking up super power.
6:45 das ist ein Meisterwerk
Genesis port you’re able to shoot in a 360
blindjustice316 Arcade can do it too. Using 8 way controls joystick
Thhaaanks BrooooO!
A mi me decían el nitro ,como olvidar este juego ,lo mejor
19:33 scary sound effect "rraahhhh"
Que buen juego, me voy a poner a aprender a jugarlo.
When you were a kid and you thought the keys were lollipops...
We want a remake now, I bet it would sell beteer than Resident Evil.
Nadie lo ha notado o nadie lo jugo en verdad, este gameplay de alguna forma esta en modalidad easy y se ve claramente que los enemigos tocan al personaje, yo solo lo jugue en arcada, de hombre, quisas eso sea la diferencia que veo.
re bizarro el boss final ajjjajaa, esta bueno el juego
I cant wait to get my Evercade so I can play this again.
I miss my past time of 1999
Nostalgia..
My favourite game
All the heavy Barrel sound effects
Wow, many slowing downs. Was that also the case on the arcade machine ?
Yip
Data East had a habit of making games too ambitious for the hardware they were developing the games for. Their ideas were good, but often caused slowdown in their arcade games.
Was this video game a 1987 release? I see no release date. I know precisely what's missing.
It was released in 1989
weird how the shotgun fired whole shells
A "shotgun" that fires single bullets?
Joystick main gun ka style up and down kesy hota hai mainey Mam4 droid main game ki hai uss main problem aa rahi hai plz help me...
Is this a sequel to Heavy Barrel or just Data East making very similar games?
I like to think it is :D Just a shame, could've used a HEAVYYYYYY BARREL on that end boss
i alwas thought so, i think there was an ikari warriors that used the 8 way rotation as well
Perfect
i still walk around randomly and say "BURN ... SHOTGUN" ........., and sometimes "NITRO"
DAD, MOM, SIS, PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
The arcade scene from RoboCop 2 brought me here
A remake for pc, ps4 plzzzzzz
Well played, how i download??
0:31 Snake and Liquid Oo
The last video game I played with two eyes...🇺🇸☠️❤️☠️😪❤️☠️❤️☠️🇺🇸
HOW DID YOU SET UP THE JOYSTICK???
14:24 lol. Is that supposed to be a person? That's that goofy thing you fight at the end I guess.
music sounds slow for some reason
Data East was always ambitious, often times overambitious and their hardware couldn't quite run their games (and ideas) without some hiccups. More powerful hardware was needed to run games that Data East were making.
I have download this game
but one problem fire is front man at
not gun move Up Down Crose. back Crose

Very much like contra, I bought the Japanese mega drive version for my genesis, back in 1990

True he is playing on easy level... I noticed right away when he killed the first tank easily
With all the cogs in the game, it should have been called COG (Call of guns)

3:34 Who else here destroying that thing from its bottom?
Wow!! The arcade version is so much better.
Yar ye dain Bain gun KO kaisy krty hai
The difficulty is too low for you, I remembered when I was young, you needed more bullets to kill the boss.
Man, the Genesis conversion replicated this soundtrack almost to a T. Too bad the graphics were substantially darker with a lot less detail.
