Alpha Mission II (Arcade) - 1 Credit Challenge
1In this video, I'm doing a 1 Credit Challenge of a game that I played before, during my MAME Arcade Stream: Neo Geo Edition and I saw a gameplay video from Colin (aka Gorilla Entertainment) on YouTube. That game is: Alpha Mission II for the Arcade. This game was developed and published by SNK, it was released in 1991. As the name suggests, it is the sequel to the 1985 arcade game Alpha Mission. It was later released for the Neo Geo CD in 1994 and for the PlayStation Portable in 2010. This game can also be found on the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC as part of ACA Neo Geo. Alpha Mission II is a vertically scrolling shooter game. The player controls a fighter spacecraft (Armored Scrum Object) and can shoot enemies in the air, bomb enemies on the ground, collect power-ups, and defeat bosses to advance levels. The game controls uses 2 or 3 buttons used depending on the selected shuttle mode. The ship's armaments consist of air-to-air laser shots, air-to-ground missiles and any Power Weapons the player collects. The laser and missiles can be upgraded up to four times by collecting the powerups from drones that are shot. Power Weapons are available after the player collects three pieces of the same armour type or can be bought with credits acquired after each stage. The weapons have limited power indicated on an energy meter. Using the weapons or getting the ship damaged lowers the energy. The energy can be recharged by collecting E power ups. Once the energy expires, the ship returns to normal mode. Depending on which mode is selected varies whether Button C or B activates the Power Weapons. Various hidden items can do certain things like an R item can put the shuttle in Reverse for a certain distance. The shuttle is destroyed by one shot or by running into an enemy unit or hazard. Unless the player collects enough K power-ups beforehand, the missiles and laser shots will be lost to minimum power when the player loses a life. There are seven stages in the game, with the last one consisting of a single boss battle. The player has to fight through them avoiding hazards in addition. Mid-bosses very occasionally appear in the game. When the player meets a mid-boss or end stage boss, the player must destroy weak points and various parts of the boss to destroy it. About my run on Alpha Mission II: The game is not easy, just like all the other SNK shooters I've played. Although I died at the second part of stage 2, but I'm happy with the end score I got on this game. Overall, Alpha Mission II is a pretty fun, but tough shooter from SNK/Neo Geo. If you're looking for a decent challenge of many shoot 'em up games? Then I recommend to give this one a try! I hope you enjoy this 1 Credit Challenge video of Alpha Mission II for the Arcade and thanks for watching!
