Ristar - Genesis (Game Genie playthrough) (recorded 2009)
0This take was played on an original Genesis console, probably model 1. It would have been either a standard 3 button or 6 button controller, and probably played on my Magnavox console TV.
It was recorded on VHS around what records in my files seem to point toward July or August 2009, but the exact date is not known. I didn't know what I was doing quality-wise so I set it to SLP mode to make the tape last longer. Consequently, the quality of the video is not very good after setting in storage for 14 years.
To figure out roughly when this was recorded, I only have dates for a few other gaming videos from July and August 2009 that were ripped to my old PC in 2009 with my first capture card that did not have very good audio capture capabilities, which led me to give up on the capture card and stick with VHS and DVDs for a while.
In my 2009 game recording video set there are some videos like this one that were recorded on VHS but never copied after all these years, some that were first recorded on VHS then recorded onto DVD but still remained on the tape making it possible to re-rip them later, some that were only recorded directly to DVD-R, some that were only recorded on VHS then transferred to PC with my first capture card then taped over, and some that were recorded onto VHS and recorded onto DVD but were taped over. There are also a select few videos that managed to be copied with the capture card, copied to a DVD-R and also still remain on the tape.
This is just a full playthrough with the game's audio only and no commentary.
During this playthrough I played through the whole game. I'm not exactly sure what the Game Genie codes were for, but it seems to me like not all hits do damage to Ristar, though some of them still do.
