'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (ミッドナイトレジスタンス) is a run-and-gun action game for the [[Sega Mega Drive]], published by [[Data East]] in Japan and by [[Sega]] in North America. It is a conversion of a [[Data East]] arcade game.
 +
 
 +
==Story==
 +
Johnny Ford (Daichi Madoka in the Japanese version) is a member of an operative group that shuts down drug cartels in South America. His father, Malcolm Ford, is developing a serum that could help people break their addictions to narcotics.
  
−
The player assumes the role of Johnny Ford, a commando whose family has been kidnapped by a drug magnate. The original arcade game had a slightly different story and an unnamed protagonist.
+
After completing his last mission, Johnny returned home to find it in shambles. He finds a note saying that the cartel leader King Crimson has kidnapped his entire family. Since the government is unable to help Johnny, he sets off on his own to rescue his family and destroy King Crimson's empire of evil for good.

As is usual for a run and gun game, the player controls a commando armed with an automatic weapon which can shoot in eight directions. There are two primary control schemes to choose from (the second scheme has three variants). "Control A" is a basic method of shooting the direction of the d-pad. "Control B" allows the player to continually shoot in a particular direction no matter what the d-pad is doing. This enables more efficient use of your weapon (e.g. shooting backwards while running forwards), however it is considerably trickier to control and requires more practise. The arcade game had two joysticks for independent control of movement and firing, which the Mega Drive lacks.
+
{{ScreenThumb|Midnight Resistance, Store.png|width=200|Supply room}}
 +
The game is a run-and-gun. Though the original arcade version allowed up to two players simultaneously, the Mega Drive version is strictly single player. The player controls a commando armed with an automatic weapon. He walks with {{left}} and {{right}} and jumps with {{C}}. He lies down with {{down}} and crawls with {{downleft}} and {{downright}}. He starts firing his weapon with {{A}}, which continuously fires until the player presses {{A}} again to cease fire. He climbs ladders with {{up}} and {{down}}. His weapon can be aimed in eight directions (including while prone or jumping).
 +
 
 +
Since the arcade game had a special rotating joystick for independent control of movement and firing, which the Mega Drive lacks, there are two primary control schemes to choose from:
 +
 
 +
*Control A uses the D-Pad to aim the weapon in any direction. Since the D-Pad is also used for moving, the player can lock the weapon in position by holding {{B}}, allowing the player to move and fire in separate directions.
 +
*Control B shoots continually in a particular direction regardless of the direction that the D-Pad is held in. The player rotates the firing direction by holding {{B}}. It has three variants. With the Control B1 scheme, the direction of the weapon's rotation alternates between clockwise and counterclockwise. With Control B2, the weapon always rotates clockwise. With Control B3, the weapon always rotates counterclockwise. These schemes offer more efficient use of the weapon but are considerably trickier to control and require more practice.
 +
 
 +
Fallen enemies drop keys, which can be collected and exchanged in the supply room at the end of each stage for extra weapons and power-ups. These weapons have limited ammunition, though the default gun is unlimited. If a weapon runs out of ammo, the player reverts to the starting machine gun. There is also a selection of secondary weapons, called backpack weapons, that are used by pressing {{up}} while firing. These weapons do area damage and likewise have limited uses. The player's weapons, ammo, and keys are retained from stage to stage.
 +
 
 +
The commando dies if he touches an enemy or a projectile, but he is revived immediately if the player has lives remaining. The commando drops his weapon and keys when he loses a life, but they can be collected after reviving. The game ends if the player runs out of lives, but it can be continued from the start of the stage as long as the player has continues remaining.

There is a variety of extra weapons and power-ups which can be purchased at the end of each level with keys picked up from killed enemies. These weapons have limited ammo, though the default gun is unlimited.

The Mega Drive version of ''Midnight Resistance'' is a relatively close conversion of the arcade game, albeit one that lacks any two-player options. Backgrounds are less detailed on the Mega Drive, animations are sometimes simplified and much of the game adopts an entirely different (and much darker) colour palette for unknown reasons. Digitised speech is absent from the Sega version (although very little of it is heard in the arcade original), and while the level design is more-or-less the same, there are often fewer enemies on-screen presumably to help manage the frame rate. Special effects are also often simplified for similar reasons.

Midnight Resistance (ミッドナイトレジスタンス) is a run-and-gun action game for the Sega Mega Drive, published by Data East in Japan and by Sega in North America. It is a conversion of a Data East arcade game.

Story

Johnny Ford (Daichi Madoka in the Japanese version) is a member of an operative group that shuts down drug cartels in South America. His father, Malcolm Ford, is developing a serum that could help people break their addictions to narcotics.

After completing his last mission, Johnny returned home to find it in shambles. He finds a note saying that the cartel leader King Crimson has kidnapped his entire family. Since the government is unable to help Johnny, he sets off on his own to rescue his family and destroy King Crimson's empire of evil for good.

Gameplay

Midnight Resistance, Store.png

Supply room

The game is a run-and-gun. Though the original arcade version allowed up to two players simultaneously, the Mega Drive version is strictly single player. The player controls a commando armed with an automatic weapon. He walks with Left and Right and jumps with C. He lies down with Down and crawls with Down-left and Down-right. He starts firing his weapon with A, which continuously fires until the player presses A again to cease fire. He climbs ladders with Up and Down. His weapon can be aimed in eight directions (including while prone or jumping).

Since the arcade game had a special rotating joystick for independent control of movement and firing, which the Mega Drive lacks, there are two primary control schemes to choose from:

  • Control A uses the D-Pad to aim the weapon in any direction. Since the D-Pad is also used for moving, the player can lock the weapon in position by holding B, allowing the player to move and fire in separate directions.
  • Control B shoots continually in a particular direction regardless of the direction that the D-Pad is held in. The player rotates the firing direction by holding B. It has three variants. With the Control B1 scheme, the direction of the weapon's rotation alternates between clockwise and counterclockwise. With Control B2, the weapon always rotates clockwise. With Control B3, the weapon always rotates counterclockwise. These schemes offer more efficient use of the weapon but are considerably trickier to control and require more practice.

Fallen enemies drop keys, which can be collected and exchanged in the supply room at the end of each stage for extra weapons and power-ups. These weapons have limited ammunition, though the default gun is unlimited. If a weapon runs out of ammo, the player reverts to the starting machine gun. There is also a selection of secondary weapons, called backpack weapons, that are used by pressing Up while firing. These weapons do area damage and likewise have limited uses. The player's weapons, ammo, and keys are retained from stage to stage.

The commando dies if he touches an enemy or a projectile, but he is revived immediately if the player has lives remaining. The commando drops his weapon and keys when he loses a life, but they can be collected after reviving. The game ends if the player runs out of lives, but it can be continued from the start of the stage as long as the player has continues remaining.
