back then when games really had style, difficutly and real epic moments... man I would give anything to have the 2D and SNES era back, only a few games can beat the snes, it still is my all time favourite console!
I love this game for 2 reasons - 1, my last name is Axley. 2. I love space shooter games. This, Super Nova (Darius Force) and R-Type III : The Third Lightning are my favorites on the SNES. Genesis has some serious shooter gems you should look into if you already haven't - Thunder Force III, IV (AKA Lightening Force in the US), M.U.S.H.A., Gaiares, Sagaia (Darius II), ect. Either way, nice flying, Ace! :D
Hell of a video! I was relieved af when I finally beat this on Hard eighteen years ago and I don't know if I see how I did that after watching this. Konami was all-about the hardcore, old-school classics.
On hard, this last boss was incredibly, well, hard. This guy saved up alot of lives cause he didn't die once untill the last stage but this was no cake walk, as you can see. Props to the people who were able to beat this boss on hard without a game over.
unbelievable that there is no proper ending and the game starts playing again like in normal mode. I cant believe you did it dude, I used to struggle through hardest and die usually on last level. awesome game ...cool ...someone finally completed it.
Awesome graphics, awesome sound, and awesome music. I wonder why this wasn't a more popular game. The only thing I can fault it is that it was a bit easy.
Hands down one of the best soundtracks on the SNES. Man what they did with the technology back then was epic. Also the sync beats in this level is off the chain! It just adds to the hype!
Holy smokes! I remember playing this level clammy-handed and with my heart pounding. On easy mode that is! I think I got to the final boss on normal. Yeah I know: I'm crap...
que tiempos aquellos este juego es de mis favoritos no solo por la accion ,si no por la musica es excelente,si quieren el sound track lo tengo dejenme un mensaje y nos ponemos en contacto,
But really well played ^^ I remember renting this game when i was about 10.. i had it for just one day, and actually managed to beat it the first time playing it on normal, too. Was incredibly nervous though ^^ But supremely focused!!!
esto debio ser hecho una pelicula en los 80s,a pesar que salio en los 90s,la musica me recuerda mucho the abyss de james cameron y el actor perfecto para protagonisar al piloto hubiera sido dennis quaid
I do remember beating this game on hard!. But i barely made it!. All my continues were gone, all my lives were gone, all weapos had been disabled, the alert alarm was telling me that i was about to die, and i was shitting on my pant!!
the thing is, if you play it through (hard mode) then it opens for you an "extreme hard" that you cant even choose.....to get this speed u need to play it through the hard level though:) (to have enough life and b able to play it through, I suggest to begin with "easy" and collect lives, then on level "normal" keep collecting lives, then u play through the "hard" and then u approach a speed where its impossible to play:))))
yes. I did it that way bc I knew I can't survive "hard" without enough life.....than kept playing and the pcu puts so many enemies that is not possible to do the first level anymore
Despite being so epic Axelay wasnt apreated enough, compared to darius twin, Gradiua 3, and UnSquadron or rayden project, those were the king of shootem up from our time.
Great job, to me Hard is alrdy impossible to complete without using save&load state, not more to mention Extra Hard. Btw your primary weapon has 2 beams missing.
@shamanflebus true, but if you want more breathing room Morningstar use is a must on this stage. And learn to "mess" with the shot patterns more. I'm impressed with the run though, makes me wish I still had my recordings from '93 :)
@Xinfinitude Yeah i did. I was just saying i used to see that ending, then try to complete game a 2nd time( like Ibuki did) as it got harder/faster. Just seeing someone complete it is a good enough ending :-)
Excellent play of a great shooter. I got this one on VC recently and can only barely beat it on Normal. I heard the reward for winning on Hard mode is a code for Very Hard mode which, while living up to the label, also allows full use of all your weapons from stage 1, is that true?
Hyperdrake3 is right. After beating hard mode you can continue on with an even more challenging mode that will give you the "See you at Axelay 2" message...unfortunately we never did :(
Bon, le passage avec les clones du vaisseau montre bien que la video est "tool assisted", c'est un passage délicat (un de plus) où on ne peut pas utiliser le tir secondaire comme un bourrin.
it´s not the hardest difficulty. if you complete the game on hard you start over but now on super hard i completed the game in all 4 difficultys in a row, not died once on easy and normal and then had almost infinite lifes for hard and super hard, that´s how i completed the game easily if you complete it on super hard, there´s a writing at the end of the credits "see you in axelay2"

If this isn't the most powerfully epic and deliciously intimidating end sequence on the Super Nintendo...nothing is. o-o
great game! I love how the final boss scans your ship and then produces clones of it to attack you! very original!
Excellent work. This game was no joke.
I just beat it yesterday, but on easy. The final level doesn't mess around even there!
back then when games really had style, difficutly and real epic moments... man I would give anything to have the 2D and SNES era back, only a few games can beat the snes, it still is my all time favourite console!
One of my favorite shooters and favorite soundtracks of all time. Kudos on your skillz.
i always loved when the aliens voices appears in the background,terific!!!
2:20 man what a creepy eerie ominous track. It stands out more than the graphics and bosses to me

this game is 20 year old and still attracts comments on youtube.
Hell of a video! I was relieved af when I finally beat this on Hard eighteen years ago and I don't know if I see how I did that after watching this. Konami was all-about the hardcore, old-school classics.
@TheParnak I always felt it was kind of scary too. And epic, and eerie! Video game brothers for life!
That is some really tasty playing man! Respect!
well played. I remember that level but I think I have never finished the game on hard difficulty. Thx for sharing
"Arms selections is completed, good luck!"
On hard, this last boss was incredibly, well, hard. This guy saved up alot of lives cause he didn't die once untill the last stage but this was no cake walk, as you can see. Props to the people who were able to beat this boss on hard without a game over.

Now this is what gaming is all about. Great music and great gameplay. It doesn't always have to be about the graphics.
i've never thought you can beat this game on hard mode you are now my hero no what i said i mean GOD of axelay o.o
Aún tengo mi cartucho de Supernintendo y tambien lo termine en hard varias veces❤❤❤ gracias por el recuerdo
Love the reprise of the stage 1 boss music...
this game had some great music.
The soundtrack is cool! I always loved the game!!!
Hands down one of the best soundtracks on the SNES. Man what they did with the technology back then was epic. Also the sync beats in this level is off the chain! It just adds to the hype!
One of my FAVORITE SNES GAMES!!
best explosion sound effect throughout the whole game @ 8:09,love it time to rewind again.
OMFG!!!! is very very good, you´re the master of axelay
Holy smokes! I remember playing this level clammy-handed and with my heart pounding. On easy mode that is! I think I got to the final boss on normal. Yeah I know: I'm crap...

Bloody Amatuer dying like that lall over the place
But really well played ^^ I remember renting this game when i was about 10.. i had it for just one day, and actually managed to beat it the first time playing it on normal, too. Was incredibly nervous though ^^ But supremely focused!!!
looking at this now again...how the hell did i beat this game when i was kid...this game was hard
esto debio ser hecho una pelicula en los 80s,a pesar que salio en los 90s,la musica me recuerda mucho the abyss de james cameron y el actor perfecto para protagonisar al piloto hubiera sido dennis quaid
You fucking kidding me! You are Pro, Men...

Really??!. Oh wow thanks for the information, hopefully i will play it again one day
yes. I did it that way bc I knew I can't survive "hard" without enough life.....than kept playing and the pcu puts so many enemies that is not possible to do the first level anymore
Ohh ok!!.. Thanks!!.. I will try it, this was one of my favorite games, it will be nice to bring back memories
you welcome, it is one of my favorite games too, and I am 35 in between but still that game is a very favorite of mine. Simple but still fascinating
This is some superb gameplay, despite what all the trolls on here say. This game is fun, but definitely no picnic, especially on the hard level.
Trolls could never understand this game era. This era of gaming was epic!
Despite being so epic Axelay wasnt apreated enough, compared to darius twin, Gradiua 3, and UnSquadron or rayden project, those were the king of shootem up from our time.

GamerWatcher, I think it's the organic core of the final boss. The mechanical parts were basically just armor.
but if you lose in super hard mode and want to try again, you can´t choose super hard on the screen where you can set your difficulty
@Xinfinitude Yeah i did. I was just saying i used to see that ending, then try to complete game a 2nd time( like Ibuki did) as it got harder/faster. Just seeing someone complete it is a good enough ending :-)
grande maestro
8:15
EPIC Music Starts!
Excellent play of a great shooter. I got this one on VC recently and can only barely beat it on Normal. I heard the reward for winning on Hard mode is a code for Very Hard mode which, while living up to the label, also allows full use of all your weapons from stage 1, is that true?
I have a question. Does there exists the 3rd Weapon of the second bar ?
Is there a bonus level or secret level for that weapon?
What version are you playing? There should be a lot more shots coming from the "walker" mech when you enter the "base"...
My child hood game oh man brings back memories, I beat it on hard and it was a challenge.
holy sh.. you are GOD man
Circa-September 1992? How much did games cost back then?
the way you pass the corridor help me ,i alwalys get shot on that part until i see the video
Hyperdrake3 is right. After beating hard mode you can continue on with an even more challenging mode that will give you the "See you at Axelay 2" message...unfortunately we never did :(
nice vid
Bon, le passage avec les clones du vaisseau montre bien que la video est "tool assisted", c'est un passage délicat (un de plus) où on ne peut pas utiliser le tir secondaire comme un bourrin.
increible good job
So there is no way at all to defeat that mecha that appears at the beggining of the space station?
I know you posted this ages ago, but you saw his upload of the ending credits right? I think that constitutes as an ending.
It's scripted which weapons you have. You always get one weapon after every level, and always in the same order.
Lol, last part sorta hurt my eyes. I was like "Is this part of the Challenge xD?"
Last boss was insane
it´s not the hardest difficulty.
if you complete the game on hard you start over but now on super hard
i completed the game in all 4 difficultys in a row, not died once on easy and normal and then had almost infinite lifes for hard and super hard, that´s how i completed the game easily
if you complete it on super hard, there´s a writing at the end of the credits "see you in axelay2"
I love this game!!!
I can't believe you picked the wind laser. To me, it's very hard to use.... causes medium damage.. Why does everyone love that so much?
Pro sauce
Now that I think about it...maybe I did beat it on normal after all.
sry but I don´t have a recorder, and I´m afraid I don´t have the game anymore, but just try it yourself!
@SLADOG777
i don't think so...
but i bet if there were one, its gameplay and soundtrack would've been godlike. :)
0_0 ... the video compression does not serve your skills justice
Holy smokes.
so all the missiles but the first are quite useless, right???
nice
Yep! Konami game...
Is this game made by Konami?
did se the message,se you again at axelay 2
fíjate en el minuto 8. Se ve claramente que le dan, pero no le afecta. Está usando trucos :D.
CHEATEEEER!
Space force US
that's what i said before but nobody believes me.
PEOPLE WITH TOP COMMENTS ALWAYS HAVE THIS IN IT: XD
this game is the shit but Biometal was just so fucking hard...
I'm not sure but i guess it say "Emergency" but kindly deformed
the background music sounds like pokemon to me O.o
damn son. you got quite a mouth don't you? learn to spell first before throwing insults XD
Compared to the other stages, the last stage is kinda shitty :/
