Midnight Resistance

STORY / GAMEPLAY
You are a special forces soldier of the rebel organization called "Midnight Resistance". Your main enemy is Crimson Corps, a paramilitary organization run by a mad man named King Crimson. King Crimson kidnapped a valuable scientist to force him take part in his evil plans to conquer the world. This scientist happens to be your grandfather, so your mission is pretty justified if you ultimately kill everyone on sight. It's your duty as a soldier to save the world and your obligation as a grandson to help your granddad! You must buckle up, grit your teeth and get ready to confront enemy soldiers, mounted machines guns, traps, armored vehicles plus big bosses. On your way you can gain a sort of coins (they look more like keys actually) which you can use them on an armory depot and exchange them with better weapons. The world is divided into 9 levels, each one with its own end boss. The gameplay is quite tough, so this game needs patience and some practice. The Amiga conversion includes the cool 2-players mode.

GRAPHICS / SOUND
The Amiga conversion has good visuals and smooth scrolling (pretty close to the original) though the colors are quite dark! The sprites and the environments are nicely detailed. As with the ST counterpart, the HUD is no longer superimposed over the playfield (as on the arcade version). The game's sound is also good and it offers a nice in-game tune and lots of sampled sound effects. Unfortunately you can't have both since you have to select either music or sound effects by pressing the S button during gameplay.
