I've been playing Alien Solider - a game I've tried and givenup on multiple times via the Sega Channel and in my later years - and HOLY SHIT I FINALLY get it.

I'm on level 20 and having a freakin' time.

Immediately become one of my favorite Genesis games THREE DECADES LATER.

So underrated. Treasure were masters of the arcade. Gunstar Heroes, Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga, Sin & Punishment...

I always loved Gunstar, but ever since I played AS on my Sega Channel I was... A bit miffed. It's so difficult to really wrap your head around but man... Once it clicks!

And it happened faster than I expected, too.

I'll probably NEVER play this on the "Superhard" difficulty, though. Jesus

Just know - it's HARD AF!!!

It's from Treasure, tho. And it's really worth it to wrap your brain around. Shouldn't take TOO long... Just gotta stick with it.

Definitely play it on Easy. Trust me.... Easy doesn't equal easy in this game lol

It’s one of those Sega games I heard from a lot of Sega guys like ourselves “dude ya gotta play it” I just never got a chance.
