Cool shmup from Taito with a pretty rocking soundtrack, plus a rather nifty power-up system.
Instead of collecting different weapons and upgrades, you charge up your ship's primary blaster by collecting the tiny, pulsating balls that float onto the screen. You can unleash stored charge to devastating effect, creating a wide blast of plasma that disintegrates most things in it's path, or, if charged to the fullest extent, a lightning storm that obliterates everything on the screen. This is particularly effective against bosses, and the effect can be prolonged for as long as you continue to collect power-ups.
If you're looking for a cool shooter which isn't a total R-Type derivative, give Metal Black a try!

2:30 That carrier hermit crab was just checking out what's up and got his carrier destroyed😭
for an old game im amazed by the quality of this game,it has different feels from the other shoot em up games.The world and the lore seems connected with elder beings rather than some alien,this entity connected with human existence itself
also the soundtrack is a banger
The first levels music struck a chord with me. Its starts depressing as you fight amongst the remnants of earth and then as you fight back with our last weapon hope shines through.
I love how the bosses also use the weird molecule like particles to their advantage, and they are not something that just benefits the player like other games
Looks amazing for a 1991 title!
29:05 Random space cat out of nowhere
Random space BIONIC eye cat - was he the overlord?
Shrodinger's Cat.
It's not random. It's the Destroyer of the worlds!
One of the forgotten masterpieces made by taito...
Also that "pow up" thing also appears in one taito-made shooting game I don't remember...
Lots of the ideas in G Darius are in this game but its like a 'rough version'. Its cool to see what Taito could do with just some rudimentary
scaling FX
Space Invaders Infinity Gene?
“最終平和兵器。戦闘準備完了。僕らはもう、引き返せない。“
The translation to 영어 is very bad, and makes me laugh.

???
@@ホワァァァァァァァァァァァァ the opening intro scene has bad English translation
Rough translation: "The Ultimate Peace Weapon is now ready for battle. There's no turning back for us."
An epic shooter with an intro funnier than Zero Wing!
i find this game existentially horrifying not funny lol
Does anybody else notice the Red Alert Siren is the exact same Stock Sound they used for the T Rex in Taito's dinosaur game "Dino Rex"!😂
This game is wonderful !!!
I just subbed for the impressive run... Bravo👏
This final boss should have also be part of Dariusburst CS aside with Great Thing and Gigantic Bite. Could be a third dreadnought class boss
If the final boss of Metal Black were to make a guest appearance in Dariusburst, it'll most likely be even trippier remade in high defnition!
Its inconceivable to me that this was a Deathless Run🫣🤯
Darn, they did smoke good stuff at Taito in the 90s!
...Or maybe they were huge fans of Stanley Kubrick and Pink Floyd. I mean, the second stage of this game is literally named after a lyric in "Shine On, You Crazy Diamond"(!)

So this is what the gaming gods created before blessing the world with Darius Gaiden.
Betweeb this and the Darius series, someone at Taito really didn't like sea creatures/crustaceans
Trying to clear this game without using continues on Switch will be a challenge.
Visualmente es impresionante para le época 👌👌
Best credits theme of all time
I'm certain that some of the bosses roar like is from a monster in a Godzilla film
Great job recording this in 1440p but it would look so much better if scanlines were turned on.
Just got released by hamster arcade archives for the switch and other systems instant buy
True dat I got Metal Black and TWISTED METAL.......... BLACK!!!!!
Xbox and PC got the Saturn version through the S-Tribute line by City Connection. Switch and PS4 were supposed to get that version too but they were cancelled because Switch and PS4 had the pre-existing ACA version
@@jasonmartinez5116Is the ACA version better than the Saturn version?
A very strange final boss and ending.... 2001?
You know, I think this game was indeed inspired by that movie. Why else would this game's "story" and atmosphere become increasingly surreal and psychedelic up to the end?
BRUH WHY IS THERE A CAT????
IT CAUGHT ME SO OFF GUARD MAN I CANT 🤣
Gun Frontier is so much better ...
I agree!
Gun Frontier has a moment of truth moment at the end.
Not so sure I agree. Both are much better than what they get credit for. Both are definitely unique and the sound in both is killer.
Now both are together in the physical release for the Switch "Taito Milestones 2" 😃
The graphics quality for classic 1991 arcade game is really good al82 🙂😃👍.
