Megablast / メガブラスト (Arcade) Completed No Deaths - 1CC, No-Miss ALL [4K]

Megablast is an obscure horizontal shooter that Taito released in 1989. It's a pretty short game to clear, and also fairly simple. Your ship starts with pods that fire in the 4 cardinal directions, giving you a lot of firepower to take down enemies.

I do like the soundtrack, and references to other Taito games / characters as mid-bosses was cool.

The story is pretty crazy and filled with silly grammar mistakes, all while a rendition of the classic Fantasie-Impromptu in C-Sharp Minor plays. Please check it out after my run completes and I let the attract mode play (at 19:45) - you'll be glad you did!

This gameplay was recorded using wolfMame .261, button 1 had autofire set to 20Hz. Dips were set at default. As with all my runs - no TAS (tool assistance), cheats, hacks, or save states are used.

Thank you for watching!
