Gemini Wing, Stage 7 replay (Hard setting) on YouTube!

Post by EddyMRA »

This is me playing through the deadly Hard setting in Gemini Wing on MAME. The Hard setting has the enemy patterns that I remember when I played this game in the arcades waaaaayyyyy back in 1988 for the first time.

Yes, I had to use autofire. It hurts my wrists and arm when I have to fire 10 shots/sec using my trigger finger for 25 minutes straight. However, you'll see the strategies I implement for using Gunballs effectively, dealing with specific enemy types, and fighting the first 5 bosses.

I never realised how hard that shump was until i played it. just goes to show that you can never judge a shump by its graphics. 10/10 for effort. if youve got any other replays on youtube, lets us know.

Ace job Alluro; thanks for posting that! :D What a great shmup; seeing it again makes me wish that Tecmo had put it on their classics collection instead of Strato Fighter (barf :? ).

Those are all the shmup replays I uploaded to youtube. The Bakraid one is not my game play, but someone else's.

About the Gemini Wing, never heard of that game at my young ages, but man, that's really hard game I ever seen. You did great, man. I pretty much like this video.
