I find it funny that my first three games beaten milestones on Retroachievements.org are all Aleste games.

That being said, is Power Strike 2 for Master System really an Aleste game? It's made by Compile and features similar mechanics to other games in the series.

The reason why I ask is this is because Power Strike 2 is just really bizarre, and with its 1930s setting, and somewhat steampunky vibes.

That being said, Robo Aleste also exists, and that has a feudal Japanese setting, with mecha.

This does give me an opportunity, however, to recommend people check out the Aleste games, especially if you like SHMUPs as they are a really solid set of games. Not that I need excuses to rave about Super Aleste or GG Aleste 3.

I think enough time has passed since I last tooted anything #Aleste related.

Specifically, to gush about GG Aleste 3 on the #GameGear

Modern games on old hardware are a fascinating subject, and I should really should dive deeper into it.

Anyway. For #VGMWednesday, I present the track from stage 2 of GG Aleste 3,
『Last Messiah』

https://youtu.be/81vh9rYA47A?si=MY58gZQv_GoAROEU

This is probably my favourite track from this particular game, but the OST as a whole is pretty good. It really shows off the sound compabilities that the GameGear had.

If you like #shmups, you really should check out GG Aleste 3 and Aleste as a series, especially the GG games and Super Aleste on the SNES.
GG3, for me, was a tough but rewarding playthrough. It served up a decent challenge, but I am not a competent shmup player.

So, I just want to appreciate the box art for MUSHA for a second. Both boxes look awesome.

So after playing through #Aleste on the GameGear and Master System. We have finally progressed to the #SegaGenesis (or #MegaDrive if you prefer) and boy, is this game wild. Unlike previous games. We are no longer piloting a ship but a full-blown mech suit, blasting our way through a futuristically feudal Japanese setting. The first boss is a Japanese castle on tank treads. It is all just absurdly awesome.

Possibly my only gripe with this game is that it does get visually overwhelming, I'd rather stay sufficiently whelmed. The game also has a rather frustrating affinity for homing missiles. Thankfully, your mech suit can take a hit and sacrifice its bonus weapon in the process.

It's definitely one I need to play through on the harder difficulty. Would be nice to get another #RetroAchievements mastery of an Aleste game under my belt.

So, video games are weird. I think they are the only medium that can pivot wildly on setting/tone and can be met with a shrug (i say this with equal seriousness and sarcasm).

I say this because #Aleste / Power Strike 2 for #MasterSystem is set in the 1930s and has you fighting sky pirates! A long shot away from the pseudo futuristic setting of the original.

Power Strike 2 is hard, even on the normal difficulty, I hate to think how hard the two additional difficulties are! But what i will say is. It is quite a joy to play when it isn't murdering you.

The environments are incredibly beautiful when you get a chance to appreciate them. Powering up your weaponry is far less tedious than the first, with one button to fire all weapons, no ammo to worry about, and the second button to adjust your movement speed, which is probably more strategic than I gave it credit for.

I definitely encourage people to give this a look at!

So, I kinda wish I didn't experience #Aleste on the GameGear first, as it really set me up for the wrong expectations for the #MasterSystem games.

A port of the MSX version and by no means a bad game, but nothing special.

Both face buttons fire, one for your main weapon and one for your secondary weapon. But the secondary weapon is where I have the biggest issue.

Secondary weapons are in orbs that you need to shoot to release and collect them. Once released, they will float to the TOP of the screen. Considering that the top half of the screen is a contested mess of enemies spawning in, there is a massive risk to trying to get these items.
Not to mention, they also have an ammo limit.

Not that it matters too much as one mistake will cause you to lose everything! And those mistakes are easy to make, unlike later games there are no shields. At least you have unlimited continues! But some stages have some incredibly hot openings!

If you were expecting me to gush praise on #GGAleste 3, well, based on my last toot, yeah, you'd be absolutely right.

Sweet Jesus, I love GG3. It really is a marvel of passion and understanding the limits of the hardware. What could have been a simple HD #Aleste game as it was made to be packaged into the Aleste collection released on 2020, for Switch and PS4, was actually a game that was designed to be run on the #GameGear

I was blown away by GG2, and GG3 takes those graphical enhancements and cranks the dial way past 11. It is a beautiful game. It will also viciously beat you and make you want more 🤣

Sadly, I didn't 1CC this game under default conditions, I had to crank the initial lives a little higher, but I definitely want to try it, not just for that sweet RetroAchievement but for my own sense of accomplishment.

If you love shumps, I implore you to give this game a play! So far, my absolute favourite!

Y'know how I called #GGAleste 1 cosy? Well, GG2 is anything but that.
It features a brutal hot opening, first time you will likely lose a life or two at the mayhem that infests your screen in the first few moments.

Other than that, the game is great. Visually, it is a big step up from the first GG game, and your arsenal is improved. As an added bonus, collecting enough power chips will give you a shield that can absorb one hit at no cost. It's very generous, but you will need it as the enemies come thick and fast, and the bosses are not to be taken lightly. Especially that one is the pictures below.

The game also features two additional difficulties, one called mania... I dare not try that one... It was bad enough trying to one continue clear the game on normal! Perhaps I will give it a look at at some point.

For a #GameGear game, this is a treat to play and would probably be the favourite in the #Aleste series, but...

So, the last week or so has been quite the quest to play through as many of the #Aleste games as possible. In fact, as of last night, I finished all the games that are bundled into the Aleste collection that came out on 2020.

Of these, the #GameGear games were my favourite. #GGAleste 1 (Galvanic Gunner, not Game Gear) is a pretty cosy SHMUP, which starts much harder than it ends. In fact I think the first level is the longest, and japes you with a mid boss that could normally be an end stage boss.

You are quite fragile in this game, with no safety blankets unlike later games. One wrong move and your weapon power level drops by one, which can be a slippery slope to game over.

But nothing that a small bit of practice can't solve, or using the D-Weapon which gives you an orbiting projectile that destroys some enemy bullets!

Seriously, this was an absolute joy to play! Even on the harder difficulty setting!

To say I was today year's old (34) when i discovered what the #SegaGameGear is all about would be... Slightly incorrect.

I knew about it, I knew it required a small power grid of 6x AA batteries to power it and probably at the time it was out, it would have been prohibitively expensive for someone who already had a GameBoy.

Heck, this thing is nearly as old as I am!

I am no hardware expert, so I can't talk about the specifications of the device with any coherence, but what I can do is talk about the games I have played, though not on original hardware.

My descent into the #Aleste series has yielded three damn good games on the GameGear, and I encourage others to check them out. But I will talk about those later when I finish #GGAleste3

I am currently in awe over this 'little' device and really looking forward to trying some of the other games. If anyone has any recommendations of other great GameGear games, i am all ears!

So, I have fallen down a bit of a rabbit hole it would seem
In a previous toot, I had indicated some of the games I had finished through RA. One of those games was the #SNES #Shmup Space Megaforce, or better known outside of the US as Super Aleste.

There are a lot of games in the #Aleste series, and honestly, I might try to check them out.

Super Aleste is a great game! Fantastic visuals, making use of the SNES mode7, and awesome music. Weapons can be powered up, and getting hit will power your weapons down if they are a high enough level instead of straight up destroying you, providing a nice safety net when things get hectic.
On standard difficulty settings, the game is challenging but not impossible.

I actually own a US copy that we acquired from... Somewhere, when i was 9.

I kinda want to play the original Japanese as apparently it has a very involved story, which is mostly absent in the EU/US releases.
Perhaps I can look into that for my channel

@syx and if you just want to quickly try out some games, then you can also use #WebMSX emulator on #TheFileHunter's pages.
For instance, all #MSXdev game jam compo games are listed on: https://www.file-hunter.com/MSXdev/index.php?id=MSX
And a bunch of the more popular games such as #Aleste 2 are listed on: https://www.file-hunter.com/MSX/index.php?id=aleste2
There's also various #homebrew available: https://homebrew.file-hunter.com/

@cwebber
the #MSX had quite a few #SHMUPS, including a bunch of early #Konami, #Compile and #Falcom titles.

Some others you might like to try include:
- #Aleste 1 & 2, #AlesteGaiden
- #Gradius / #Nemesis (depending on the region) 1, 2 and 3
- #Parodius
- #SpaceManbow (there's also a pretty good #homebrew sequel #Manbow2)
- #Zanac, #ZanacEX
- #MKai's #Kyokugen & #PleasureHearts

Also worth mentioning is that the #MetalGearSolid series started on the MSX with #MetalGear and MG2: #SolidSnake
