It's time to done our tuxedos and shake our vodka martinis, as we check out S.P.Y Special Project Y, a secret agent-themed action game by Konami. It's yet another game from the studio's back catalogue of arcade titles I had no idea existed, one that I have no recollection of ever seeing in any arcade I ever frequented.
Although Data East's Sly Spy would be an obvious comparison, S.P.Y feels much closer in design to Namco's Rolling Thunder, although S.P.Y offers considerably more variety in its levels, including third-person shooting sections similar to the tunnel sections from Contra and Aliens. If nothing else, S.P.Y is certainly not wanting for variety.
Unfortunately, I don't think S.P.Y is a particularly enjoyable game. Despite the cool concept, each of the levels is frustratingly difficult, with the game besieging you on all sides with wave-upon-wave of fast-moving goons which give you little in the way of time to react to the situation. Getting swarmed constantly in this manner doesn't make for a satisfying experience, particularly when your punches and kicks don't always register like they should, with most of the game feeling like a chore. Although most sections provide you with screen-clearing smart bombs and fireballs, the majority of the game still feels like an up-hill slog. Just when you think you've beaten the final boss, it decides to pull a Ghost 'n Goblins on you by sending your right back to the beginning, forcing you to complete a second loop before giving access to the real ending.
Despite some cool theming, the swarms of enemies and slightly iffy collision mechanics means Special Project Y isn't a particularly fun experience. It's good for one credit, but I doubt you'll want to insert coin to continue when given the opportunity.

Game Info
Developer: SNK Playmore
Publisher: SNK Playmore
Year of Release: 2002
Game Review & Impressions
Continuing my run of Metal Slug-related games, I played through the fourth game in the series. Having undergone bankruptcy proceedings and re-emerging as SNK Playmore, Metal Slug 4 was released for the Neo Geo (and other platforms) in 2002. It sticks to the tried-and-tested formula of its predecessors, introducing a smattering of new features, just to keep things fresh.
Following the extra-terrestrial shenanigans in Metal Slug 3, General Morden is is still up to his old tricks, this time allying himself and his army with the shadowy forces of a wealthy criminal syndicate. The aliens from the previous game have been jettisoned, resulting a game that feels more grounded, although theres still the occasional silliness with zombies, Egyptian curses and yetis thrown in for good measure.
Aside from new levels, the main addition to this release is the Metallish system which, in relatively simple terms, requires players to inflict as much damage and blow as much stuff up in as short a time as possible. Certain enemies will drop an emblem that will trigger the event when collected, and youre rewarded with up to four medals of differing colour, depending on how well you do. Achieving four white/silver medals is the ultimate achievement, although its really difficult to achieve this, and youre more likely to get green or red medals. This isnt a bad thing, though, with more medals earning you massive bonus points at the end of the stage.
In addition to the Metallish system, Metal Slug 4 introduces a new weapon in the form of dual machine guns, plus a new vehicle, if you can call a scrambling ride-on ape with a red light on its head a vehicle. There are also a couple of new characters to play, but these are really just window dressing - theyre all pretty similar.
Overall, Metal Slug 4 is really just more of the same, although, if Im honest, lacking some of the polish from previous entries. The end-of-level bosses, normally guaranteed to turn heads with their gargantuan size and beautifully rendered pixel art, dont feel as impressive this time around. The zeppelin boss from the opening level is a good example - theres not an awful lot of detail, and the minigun strapped to the under-carriage is clearly taken from General Mordens gunship in Metal Slug 1, yet pasted crudely onto the sprite. I wonder whether, with a shrinking market, the developers could afford to spend as much time on the overall presentation as they had done previously; it still looks fantastic, but not up to the lofty standards of the 1996 original.

Game Review & Impressions
The first game to give the pellet-gobbler a personality and image overhaul, not to mention legs and arms, Pac-Land set the foundations for future franchises starring Nancis classic arcade star.
Pac-Land is really nothing like the original Pacman, other than it incorporates characters and objects from the Pacman universe. The objective is to escort a magical fairy back to her native realm, traversing the spook-filled towns and valleys of the surrounding countryside, in a platform game that is often brutally unforgiving.
The chief difficulty in said game, and principal source of frustration, comes from the sections requiring Pac to springboard his way across large bodies of water. You have have to hammer the direction and jump buttons to maintain as much air time as possible, lest Pacman find himself swimming with the fishes. Getting through these sections is virtually impossible, not without a lot of practice, and the fact these appear relatively early on in the game mean many players probably never got beyond stage 3.
Difficulty aside, Pac-Land is quite impressive from a technical and visual aspect. For 1984, this boasts some really decent graphics and audio, so its still worth checking out.

The game has no ending and looks back to trip 5 after beating trip 8.

Game Review & Impressions
Fairly typical vertical shoot em up in terms of features, although it feels a little behind the curve in terms of visuals and overall production values. By far the biggest issue with this is the difficulty, principally caused by the underpowered weaponry of the players ship, relative to the ridiculous damage sponges which account for most of the enemies you face. The final insult is the fact your weapons top level of power lasts for a limited time only, which is just silly.
For these reasons I failed to find much in the way of enjoyment here. The second loop something which the game didnt need removes virtually all of the gun upgrades and smart bombs, making Eight Forces an unenjoyable slog.

Game Review & Impressions
When I played through Dragon Spirit recently, I had no idea there was actually a sequel. Intrigued, I set about recording a longplay of Dragon Saber, only to find its unsurprisingly more of the same, only MUCH harder. The game retains the same air-to-air and air-to-ground combat mechanics of its predecessor, but the number of weapons available to the player is expanded, although my personal opinion is that at least half of these are useless and more likely to get you killed if you pick them up.
For some added context, the game typically introduces a new weapon with each additional stage you reach. Each weapon can be fired in rapid succession, but it can also be charged up for a special attack, which, in theory, can be used to deal with some of the tougher enemies youll face. On the default difficulty setting the enemies soak up a lot of damage, which means the weapon power-ups which focus on versatility, such as the screen-wide lightning attack, simply cant destroy enemies quickly enough.
On the subject of default difficulty, the version I played seemed to give the player a single life in which to beat the game, which is just crazy. Other videos online show the player with two lives from the outset, so this can obviously be configured. The sheer number of enemies, the end-of-level bosses, player sprite hitbox, not to mention scenery and associated environmental hazards that will kill you instantly only serve as a real turn-off.
Dragon Saber looks really cool and has an excellent electronica soundtrack, and I really wanted to like it, but aside from some enhanced graphics, its both too difficult and too similar to its predecessor to recommend.

Game Info
Developer: Interplay
Publisher: Virgin Games
Year of Release: 1993
Game Review & Impressions
Prior to recording this longplay, the only version of RoboCop Versus The Terminator Id played/owned was the Sega Genesis. Its not a particularly innovative game, but the depiction of crumbling dystopia, giving way to eventual battles against Skynet and its army of endoskeleton nightmares, was good fun. I loved the graphical style, particularly the way enemies got blown apart in gory, pixelated chunks, was very cool.
Moving over to the Super NES, Id expected the game to be the same. Given Nintendos stance on violence and market positioning as being the family-friendly option, Id expected the violence to be toned down compared to the Genesis, but I hadnt been expecting quite the number of changes as there are.
The levels between the two versions are broadly similar, and follow a similar arc, but Interplay, who handled development of this particular version, felt compelled to layer on some dull and pointless exposition through the use of comic book-style cutscenes. I get that the origins of the RoboCop and Terminator crossover stem from this medium, but I just found these sections dull, overly long, not to mention occasionally confusing.
To be honest, the gameplay isnt much better. From the level design to the enemies you face, everything feels dull and by-the-numbers. The game is competently programmed for sure, but at no point did I feel like I was having a good time. The SNES version shoehorns in a couple of first-person sections with some Mode 7 trickery, but again, its devoid of any real fun.
I need to go back and play the Genesis version to make sure Im not mis-remembering things, but having slogged my way through the drudgery of the SNES port, Id still plump for the Sega version over this. Presentation, graphics and suchlike are perfectly decent, but this could have been so much better.

![Wonder Boy in Monster Land Longplay (Arcade) [QHD]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DCm1EIBqaOE/hqdefault.jpg "Wonder Boy in Monster Land Longplay (Arcade) [QHD]
Game Info
Developer: Westone
Publisher: Sega
Year of Release: 1987
Game Review & Impressions
The original Wonder Boy is one of those weird arcade classics which were popular at the time of release, although with its fruit-munching, platform-hopping, skateboarding shenanigans, its popularity was perhaps something of an enigma. Its very much of its time, more akin to the likes of Pac-Land and other basic side-scrolling platformers that were popular at the time.
When it comes to sequels, its usually the case that developers stick with the formula which made the original successful, dump the stuff which was bad, and generally iterate and improve on the original. That clearly didnt happen when Sega and Westone produced Wonder Boy in Monster Land, which goes in a completely and unexpected direction.
This is one of the earliest examples in a really weird sub-genre of, for want of a better description, action RPGs, which started to become popular, due in part to the success of Ataris Gauntlet. Wonder Boy in Monster Land retains the side-scrolling, platforming of its predecessor, but has the player killing monsters for gold coins, buying spells and upgrade from shops dotted throughout the levels, killing bosses for weapon and armour upgrades, and more besides. Its a brave departure from the original game, but the end result is something of a triumph. Action RPGs, particularly Diablo and all of its various incarnations, is one of my favourite genres of game; theres something about the constant upgrade cycle of killing enemies for loot, buying bigger and better weapons to kill even bigger monsters which just appeals to me. Admittedly, WIML is a very linear experience, but theres enough of that game loop on show that meant I really enjoyed my time with this. In fact, its the very template on which Wonder Boy III: The Dragons Trap (AKA Monster World II) is based, which was one of my favourite games on the Sega Game Gear.
As with many of these coin-op RPG hybrids, I think they make far more sense as games for the home market than they do the arcade. Youll need at least 40 minutes to play this through to completion, which is a length of time that seems amazing incongruous to the setting of a noisy, smoke-filled arcade. Perhaps the culture and arcade scene in Japan was different to that of the UK, insofar that the environment was conducive to such a prolonged experience, which may explain why the game never received an international release, at least not in its arcade form. The English translation shown in this video is derived from the 2005 Virtual Console release, complete with interesting translation text, but it does at least allow a wider range of players to experience what is, in my opinion, an excellent game.

Game Review & Impressions
Somewhat innocuous vertical shoot em up by Taito, Master of Weapon is an inoffensive, but ultimately rather bland example of its kind. Its the usual case of blowing up enemies and collecting power-ups, adorned with what Id describe as grey and uninspiring graphics.
Master of Weapon sees the return of the ground-based attack mechanism, popularised by Namcos Xevious, where its possible to unleash your crafts air-to-ground ordnance on enemies below you. Given that the majority of the game is set in urban cityscapes, seeing buildings come crashing down as you unleash thermo-nuclear death from above is relatively cool.
Master of Weapon isnt actually a bad game, just one that I didnt find particularly entertaining. Its difficult to stand out in such a crowded genre, and this was just middle-of-the-road for me.

Game Review & Impressions
I recently covered Steel Gunner on the channel and found it to be a visually impressive, if overchallenging target shooting experience. What surprised me was that Namco put out sequel the following year, so I figured Id fire it up and see what could have possibly changed within the space of a year.
Not much, is the answer; the story, setting and plotline are pretty much identical to the original game, with the only real difference being the foot-soldiers youre gunning down are biomechanical, vat-grown hybrids, rather than the robots from the first game. Aside from the fact these enemies die in fountains for red bio-juice, not to mention the occasional appendage flying off in the process, theres little to tell this apart from its predecessor.
My personal take on the original Steel Gunner was it looked great, but the difficulty was far too punishing to be genuinely fun for a solo player. Steel Gunner 2 continues that trend, although I felt it was perhaps a little more generous in the number of missiles handed out as part of the end-of-level resupply sequence. The graphics are still excellent, and the use of multi-layer parallax and gradient-shaded ground layer make this one of the most convincing faux 3D environments using sprite scaling so far, perhaps even being the best of them until the arrival of Segas Alien 3: The Gun a few years later.
Again, Steel Gunners 2 is probably a lot better as a co-op experience than it is solo, so bear that in mind if you decide to check it out. It looks and sounds great, but you really need to have taken your precognition pills and a course in tactical speed-shooting if you hope to get through this in one piece.

Game Review & Impressions
Not to be confused with a popular brand of bleach, A-Jax is yet another late 80s coin-op Id never heard of before. Having played through the game, I reckon its something of a hidden gem from around that time; the game demonstrates the capabilities of Konamis arcade hardware, featuring some really cool sprite scaling and rotation effects.
The bulk of the game is your typical top-down vertical shoot em up, with the player blasting air and ground targets with an assortment of weapons. You shoot down targets with your primary weapon, or take out tanks, turrets and buildings with your bombs; the floating reticule on-screen indicates where your bombs will land and, something of a neat touch, updates to indicate targets which the bombs can actually hit. I have to say, this is the most visually appealing and engaging of all the shooters of this particular era Ive played - it looks and feels several years ahead of its time. In fact. my only real complaint is that only a couple of the weapons on offer, namely the Vulcan and Triple are of any real use, and youll struggle to complete most of the levels unscathed if you use anything else.
Following the destruction of an end-of-level boss, the games perspective shifts to a third-person, pseudo-3D section. Here, youre flying a fighter jet into the screen while waves of planes and other hostiles try to take you down. Its not quite up to the sheet spectacle of Segas After Burner (which I suspect Konami must have been trying to outdo here), but its still an impressive effect, nonetheless. In one section, an alien fortress begins to loom on the horizon, scaling and rotating to give the impression of you getting closer; its an effect as clever as it is convincing, and it still manages to look really quite impressive.
For 1987, A-Jax seems to me to be a technical tour de force in the overcrowded shooter genre. It looks and sounds great, plays really well, and is easy to recommend. While I might not have heard of this game before, its definitely made my list of favourite shootem ups - go play it.

Segas super scaler tech meets dirt bike racing in a game which, if Im honest, feels rather lacklustre when compared to other super scaler games. It lacks the raw speed thrills of Hang-On, and OutRun beats this for entertainment value any day of the week.
I guess experiencing a sit-in version of this in the arcade might have been more exciting, but this didnt really do it for me.

Year of Release: 1984
Game Review & Impressions
One of the earliest games Tony Crowther created for the fledgling Gremlin Graphics, I was keen to check out more of the C64 programming wunderkinds back catalogue.
The objective of the game is to help Percy, the titular potty pigeon, construct a nest in the boughs of a tree by collecting twigs lying in the middle of a main road. Speeding motor cars risk turning you into a pigeon-shaped smear on the tarmac if youre not careful, and rival birds, planes and other airborne nasties mean the skies are no safer. Successfully constructing the nest awards you bonus points for time remaining on the clock, then propelling you into the next level, increasing the number of enemies as you progress. Theres no actual ending Im aware of, just the typical quest to attain ever-increasing high scores.
Speaking of scores, its possible to bag bonus points by literally crapping on the cars as they drive past. Destroying a car with a dollop of pigeon poo seems like rather extreme, but actually landing one of these defecatory dung packages on target is harder than it looks. Later levels introduce an additional foe in the guise of a bounding dog, and you can crap on this too!
I wasnt expecting too much from this, if Im honest, but I was surprised at how compelling this proved to be. Timing your swoops to grab the twigs from the ground without dying is really tricky, but theres a surprising sense of satisfaction when you manage to pull it off. Coupled with some impressively quick scrolling and astute technical presentation, its not a bad arcade game at all.
