MIDNIGHT RAIDERS is a Sega CD exclusive FMV rail shooter released by Sega and Stargate in 1994. Its gameplay is similar to other Sega CD titles such as STAR STRIKE, TOMCAT ALLEY, BUG BLASTERS, or SURGICAL STRIKE.

In MIDNIGHT RAIDERS, you play Joker, a helicopter rookie gunner who needs to embark on a top secret military mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist.

The game is roughly split into two parts: First, you need to prove your skill in a number of air fights and gun down a variety of enemy helicopters and aircrafts. The second part of the game is dominated by gun fights as Joker needs to fight bad guys on the ground. These sequences might remind a lot of players of famous American Laser Games titles such as CRIME PATROL. Without a doubt, the second part of the game is by far the better one - but unfortunately also inhumanely hard to beat. The reaction times demanded by the player combined with the slow controls make successfully finishing this game a chore. The nice camera work, gritty atmosphere, and great action made me wish this game could be played with a light gun instead of a controller. MIDNIGHT RAIDERS is cheesy as fuck - but in a good way. For an early FMV action title the game is surprisingly well polished and produced.

This longplay is a no death run. It was recorded via emulation on PC (KEGA Fusion).
