Red Alarm (Virtual Boy) 2D Playthrough - NintendoComplete
214A playthrough of T&E Soft's 1995 3D shooter for the Nintendo Virtual Boy, Red Alarm.
Played through on the normal difficulty level. I do get many of the cool hidden objects, but nowhere near all of them. The game is hard enough without that on top of it!
This is one of the few really great games on the notorious Nintendo VR system. I've always loved the wireframe look that the game uses (even though it drives me nuts in the later levels when it becomes difficult telling where the walls are), and the music is awesome. It also made really good use of the VB's weird 2x D-pad controller.
This is one that's much better to play on the original system - the 3D makes it much easier to discern what is going on (even with the eye searing red LEDs) and the original controller is far more natural feeling than trying to use an Xbox or Playstation controller's analog sticks. If you have access to a VB, you've really gotta try this - it was pretty groundbreaking stuff in the mid-90s!
