Fans of my channel may remember I did a GameBoy Advent Countdown a couple of years back & a Jagvent Calendar last year - a different mystery game each day of December. I thought I'd do something a similar this year for the Sega Master System - a console I have lots of fond memories of.
I won't reveal the game in the Title but in the Description.......well that's a different matter. Does anyone other than me actually read them?
This is Power Strike by Compile - a developer known for their top notch shoot-em-ups & this is no exception. In fact they were brilliant on Master System with this, it's sequel, Golvellius etc
Anyway this follows the Aleste formula with different weapons that you pick up by shooting the corresponding number - keep picking up the same number to power it up.
Its a fantastic game. I usually stick with Weapon 2 as you can charge the shot & use it as a shield or release it for a Mega Shot but for this video I decided to try to show off a few of the different weapons. it really does make it a different experience. I play the first level here & then make a mistake on Level 2 which means I lost the power up which makes it much harder.
Great game though - fantastic music & absolutely tons of sprites on the screen. The game does slow down but it is understandable - look at what the Master System is doing. The sequel is even better!
Slightly short video today as was pushed for time as was running errands for some family & friends but hopefully you enjoyed this advent treat :-)
This is my original PAL copy from back in the day played through a Powerbase convertor on my CDX/MultiMega through a Retrotink 5X for ease of capture.
Expect a different Master System game every day. Happy Christmas!
