If you watch this at 1.5x speed it actually looks like a normal shoot-em-up. This was an impromptu clear, but one which ended up being fairly representative of the game. After playing the Sega Master System port a couple months ago, this was my first experience with the MSX original, which I now prefer. The incessant wave pacing of the game is similar between the two, but MSX has more detailed graphics and seemingly a bit more screen clutter. Aleste 2 is still an improvement in almost every way, but it's easier to see the parallels after playing the MSX version, rather the SMS alternative.
At present, ghoulsAreFree has 70 views spread across 2 videos for Aleste, with approximately 1 hour of Aleste video on his channel. This is 3.51% of the total watchable video on ghoulsAreFree's YouTube channel.
