Without the Shaman Marquis des Nyas for another forty something
2
00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:07.839
gamers retro rewind, and we're gonna talk about how another
3
00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:11.839
game that exemplified the example of how back in the
4
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:16.359
eighties arcade games, Sega had the arcade on lock when
5
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:19.559
it came to scaling and just futuristic games that still
6
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:21.879
look pretty to this day. So let's get into it.
7
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:24.559
If you stepped into an arcade in nineteen eighty eight
8
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:27.239
with a pocket full of quarters, you probably remember the
9
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:31.039
absolute monster Sega was building. We aren't talking about standard
10
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:34.960
wooden boxes. We're talking about hydraulic simulation rise that look
11
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:37.920
like they belong in a flight school. Welcome back to
12
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.200
the channel, follow Genexter's and older millennials today. On our
13
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:43.759
retro rewind, we are diving deep into the peak of
14
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:48.159
Saga's superscaler era Galaxy Force two. Before we jump in,
15
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.280
drop a comet below. What was the craziest arcade cabinet
16
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.640
you ever sat in as a kid? Was it this one?
17
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.840
After Burner or maybe hard Driving? Let me know. Smash
18
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.960
that subscribe button for more eighties and nineties gaming nostalgia,
19
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.399
and let's power up our tri Z starship. All right,
20
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.680
for the uninitiated. In early nineteen eighty eight, Sega released
21
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:10.519
Galaxy Force one. It was rushed, brewly hard and had
22
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.040
four stages. Realizing they messed up, Sega literally replaced it
23
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.000
two months later with Galaxy Force two, adding two new
24
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:21.040
levels the select screen and fixing the weapon mechanics. Unlike
25
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.799
after Berna, where you just shot down endless waves of jets,
26
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.319
Galaxy Force two threw you into asteroid fields and tight
27
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:31.640
weaving planetary tunnels. Your biggest enemy wasn't even the alien fleet,
28
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.519
it was the environment. Your energy meter is a constant
29
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.959
countdown timer. Every wall you scrape, every missile you take,
30
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:42.040
it drained your time. You had to play fast or
31
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.599
your quarters vanished into thin air. Now, let's talk about
32
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.840
the heartbreak we all faced as ninety console gamers. We
33
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.040
saw this visual masterpiece in the arcades and begged for
34
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.079
our parents for the Sega Genesis Port in nineteen ninety one.
35
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:58.319
Ooof look, the Genesis version tried its absolute best, but
36
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.439
trying to cram three motor roller arcade processors into a
37
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.359
single home cartridge resulted in massive slow down and sprite flickering.
38
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.639
As kids retolerated it because it was arcade at home.
39
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:14.240
But man, looking back, our eyes were stronger than the hardware. Fortunately,
40
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.400
time tech heals all wounds. If you want to experience
41
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:19.080
this game the way it was meant to be played
42
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.000
without spending ten thousand dollars on a hydraulic arcade machine,
43
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.319
you have great options today. The absolute gold standard is
44
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:28.800
a three D Galaxy Force two on the Nintendo three
45
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.199
DS ported by him two. The added wide screen, a
46
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:36.280
remastered soundtrack, and simulated the physical tilting on the original
47
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.840
arcade cabinet on your handheld screen. It is a masterpiece
48
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.479
of preservation. Galaxy Force two is the ultimate time capsule
49
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.240
of an era when arcades ruled the world and whole
50
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.199
consoles were desperately trying to catch up. If you really

00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.719
