Omega Boost - PS1 Gameplay - Epic Shoot 'Em Up Action! - Absolute Cinema
1Gameplay footage of one of the best shoot 'em ups on the PSX known as Omega Boost. Whilst the Sega Saturn had Panzer Dragoon the PS1 had this.
The game actually turned out to be created by former members of Team Andromeda (Panzer Dragoon 2) and that the lead designer and programmer on Omega Boost was Yuji Yasuhara. So if like myself back then (almost 40 years here) you played this and felt that it was some what familiar then this was the reason why.
Oddly the game was criticised by reviewers upon release claiming that it was too short and that it wasn't that enjoyable. I've literally no idea how the hell anyone came to this conclusion because this game was very challenging and had a lot for you to unlock (Hidden stages etc). The 9 stages you had were challenging because the game only gives you 3 credits and forces random difficulty spikes on you plus bosses which you have to defeat within a certain time limit.
I loved Panzer Dragoon back in the day and I loved this also. I feel we should of had MORE games like this because its games like this that truly stay with you and that stood out from all the others.
Annoyingly I get cheated at the end as I literally press the special attack button at the same time I get hit at the end. This should of been enough to kill the boss and then its final pixy form but I guess my input wasn't fast enough. Then again I guess this just gives me an excuse to play this epic shooter again.
