Genuinely one of your best, you’ve distilled a lot of information down your make this fair and comprehensive without going on forever. Very nice work. As to Game pro, we all know I don’t look at non UK magazines….. or do I?
Great vid! I feel your pain on this; this is one of two times I remember running a game right back to Blockbuster mere hours after renting it; the other being Super Thunder Blade. If only they had taken the time to check all of the Ps and Qs, this could have been ...okay? Not a classic or even memorable, but at least in the area of "Could have been better" instead of the trainwreck it is.
Yeah, I don't think there's a world in which this game is good, probably the closest to that would be the Amiga version. But...damn...have some self respect about what you're releasing.
Dang dude. You're pretty good at level 1. And I don't think the color problem was shadow mode. I think they got the bit order on the color bytes wrong, causing some of the info to be thrown away.
@@ZilogandMoto The Sega Retro page has a Bugs subpage that describes the problem in a bit more detail and a Comparisons subpage that shows how it's supposed to look (from a patched ROM).
God as a big bttf fan, i rented this from blockbuter snd was disappointed on how hard it was. I couldnt even pass that first level ss a kid. Only took emulation and loads of save states to pass this short game
Too bad the developers didn’t just copy the Train and Horse riding gameplay from “Express Raider” for this game it would have been way better if they did. Also they could have plagiarized the shooting gallery level from a level in Lethal Enforcers 2. Maybe steal a gameplay design cue from Dick Tracy for the pie throwing level. Anyway what the hell do I know
And now remember that the game came out around the same time as Sunset Riders (Arcade version) which did the horse riding, train level and shooting gallery (the bonus stage) a hell of a lot better and more competent as well.
I tried this game on an emulator as a kid for a few minutes, did not like it at all. It's one of those games that left a really boring impression on my memory. Future me should tell past me about your channel, so that I could start watching you sooner.

That could be, I'm definitely NOT a programmer beyond basic scripts. It looks very similar to the issue that Secret of Monkey Island has, though.

@@themadmadcow yeah, I read where the byte order was wrong, but I didn't see the patched rom link.
dropping the hammer!
Lololol. I had to.
I went from GamePro to Diehard Game Fan and boy was that an experience.
Did you get whiplash?

The whole game feels like a shovelware home computer title. Which is ironically what it would turn into.

I agree! Get on that, future you.
Haha was that a hint for Yesterzine at 7:30? Awesome video as always!
Keep your eyes peeled on that space...
@@ZilogandMoto Haha I’m really enjoying this back and forth between your channels.
