What do you see?

According to theory we are either left-brain or right-brain dominant.

“If you’re mostly analytical and methodical in your thinking, you’re said to be left-brained. If you tend to be more creative or artistic, you’re thought to be right-brained.

The left brain is more verbal, analytical, and orderly than the right brain. It’s sometimes called the digital brain. It’s better at things like reading, writing, and computations.

According to dated research, the left brain is also connected to:

logic
sequencing
linear thinking
mathematics
facts
thinking in words

The right brain is more visual and intuitive. It’s sometimes referred to as the analog brain. It has a more creative and less organized way of thinking.

Dated research suggests the right brain is also connected to:

imagination
holistic thinking
intuition
arts
rhythm
nonverbal cues
feelings visualization
daydreaming”

I have wanted to do this for a long time. Sonic the Hedgehog is my third favorite game in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise by Sega and Sonic Team. It was a revolutionary game that utilized speed both as a special ability of Sonic, and a reward for good play and memorization. The levels were designed around this as well, as we saw round level-design for the first time in any major platformer - for example, the loop-de-loops. Also, instead of just simply jumping on top of enemies to defeat them, you could get a running start and then press down on the d-pad to do a Spin Attack.

I played this on a real Sega Genesis Model 1 on a Mega Everdrive X7, but I do have a copy of the game on a real cartridge as well. My Genesis output video and audio through HD Retrovision cables. I split that signal into two using a ShinyBow distribution-amplifier (SB-3729). One end went into the Open Source Scan Converter (OSSC) and one went into my 14" Toshiba consumer-grade CRT television, so that I could play on a CRT while recording 960p gameplay.

You will be able to tell early on, but I don't play the game like everyone else. I try to get an extra life on every stage by collecting at least 100 rings, so I don't speed through the stages as quickly as possible. This might make you cringe or angry, but please understand. This is how I enjoy playing Sonic-games.

In that sense, Sonic 1 is the closest thing to a traditional 2D platformer that we have in the series, and so I like to accentuate this game's strengths by playing the game a little more slowly. My opinion is that the automatic, fast, pinball-like segments of the later games are fun in moderation, as are the more methodical platforming segments in this first game.

Thank you for watching, and have a great day.

Ever since it came out for the PlayStation 2 in 2004, I always wanted to play this game, but never got around to it. It was developed by renowned developer Treasure, along with Konami and G.Rev, who made the very good horizontally-scrolling shooter called Border Down on Sega Dreamcast. Back then, all we could get about videogames were screenshots, and the screenshots we got of this game were beautiful. I just remember the big red goo-balls with eyeballs on them.

In the past year, I was slowly getting more into shooters, thanks to shows like Game Sack (https://www.youtube.com/user/MrGameSack/about). I even played through R-Type III on the SNES and made a walkthrough for it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7Snhd7ef9k). After playing a lot of 2D shooters with sprites, I was in the mood for something with a little more visual flair.
Gradius V is a beautiful 2.5D shoot-em-up (or shmup for short), crafted with 3D polygons, but played on a 2D plane. It never got the hype that Ikaruga did, another of Treasure's games. Ikaruga was codenamed Project RS2, as in Radiant Silvergun 2. Radiant Silvergun was a Japan-only release that almost immediately was worth over a hundred dollars even back in the late 1990s. The fact that we in the West were getting its followup on the Gamecube had IGN game-journalists frothing with demand.

Gradius V, in contrast, was the fifth numbered installment in a solid but unspectacular series of shooters dating back to the 1980s; the hype-level was not very high. This is part of the reason why I never purchased it when it was available new in stores. The other part was that I was a big Nintendo-fanboy at the time. Sadly, If it had come out for the Gamecube, I would have snatched it up immediately.

Much time has passed, and last November, I finally bought a copy off of ebay (https://www.ebay.com/), although there is a digital version on PSN (https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP9000-NPUD20712_00-0000000000000000).

The game is very challenging, but there are certain options you can change so that it is forgiving and beatable, with time, perseverance, and desire. You can change the difficulty-level, number of lives, points needed for extra lives, enable an option to spawn right where you died, and even reacquire dropped satellites (or Options, or Multiples, as this game calls them) after you die and come back. Also, for every hour of gameplay, you earn an extra Credit (continue).

Gradius V is a methodical shooter, like R-Type, in that you will have to use very precise movement through the levels and against enemies, like a doctor with a scalpel performing brain-surgery. Patience and memorization will be keys in beating this game.

I really enjoyed this game. It's a treat for the eyes, even nowadays. I played the game both on my Toshiba 14-inch CRT TV, as well as on my LCD monitor upscaled to 1440x960 via the OSSC. The music is very ambient and doesn't distract you from the game. I liked how it wasn't overly cheerful, like in the other games in the series. The controls are customizable, and so you can spread the functions out more across the controller, instead of having them all on the face of the Dual Shock 2. I put rapid-fire on R1, and used X to select my power-up, and Square to fiddle with my satellites.

Some games make you feel good about yourself after you beat them, and this is one of those games. Gradius Five gets a five... out of five.

----------------------------

Recording footage for this game was an adventure in itself because it was the first time I had to deal with 480i. I was setting the OSSC to scale 2X, but the resolution wasn't changing. Only after trying 4X, did I get the desired 1440x960.

The game runs in a native 720x480 resolution, which is not 4:3, but 3:2. I thought something was wrong, but I looked it up, and learned that not all games that were 480i or 480p were 640x480.

I played this real physical copy on a real Sony PlaySation 2 with an HD Retrovision cable hooked up to an OSSC, which was hooked up to a Micomsoft XCapture-1. I tried using OBS for the first time, but I didn't like the results, so I stuck with Micomsoft's VideoKeeper2 software.

R-Type III is my favorite 2D shooter (shoot-em-up, shmup) on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Super Famicom). It was designed from the ground up for the system, and it shows. The game is very beautiful, both in design and technical-standpoints; and has no slowdown, but the game is slow to compensate. To balance the slowness, the game was designed to be very methodical, requiring memorization and precision. Although you die in one hit, you get unlimited continues and at least one checkpoint per stage.

I played this on an Analogue Super Nt. I didn't have the real cartridge, so I used my Custom White SD2SNES to play it. Check out some photographs of it here: http://themblan.blogspot.com/2018/03/custom-white-sd2snes.html.

I played the game at 1080p at 60 frames per second, and captured it with my good old Elgato HD60.

Although I don't show any deaths in this video, many ships were harmed during the making of this video. I died a lot, but I still like this game a lot; hence why I'm making a video about it.

I would like to go over different terms used in the gaming-community on YouTube. A Let's Play is a video played live with commentary. A Longplay or Playthrough is a video played without commentary, usually in one sitting. This video is a Walkthrough, where I try to guide the viewer/listener step by step through the game.
