So I Just Played... Mobile Light Force

So I just played Mobile Light Force and I have somethings to say. I'm going to warn you now this is just me putting my thoughts on paper so forgive me if I ramble. I had this game way back when I was a tiny child with nothing but free time and a PS1 to help me through the day. My PS1 was my best friend when I was a growing up I spent hours getting sucked into so many different worlds and stories, I was a hero that saved dragons, a bandicoot on a quest to save his girlfriend, I got to see the world through the eyes of Buzz Lightyear, I explored the halls of a spooky zombie infested mansion even if it was only for five minuets before i got scared and ran away and I was even GOD DAMN HERCULES!! This doesnt mean every game I had was a winner for example Mobile Light Force. Dont get me wrong M.L.F isn’t a bad game i’m more confused if anything because it shouldn't even exist. I’m going to start with the cover art it shows three Charlie’s Angles looking women running form a huge explosion, firing lazer guns and shooting some evil-looking robots that seem they want nothing more than to hunt them down and eat them for dinner. Sounds like a kick-ass action-adventure game right?? So you can understand my baby brain’s confusion when I was greeted with a random japanese shootem up with literally zero story and the women that got me so pumped up nowhere to be seen. It wasn't until years later when I was twenty-one years old that I not only found someone else that knows about this game (shout out to austin eruption you should check him out) but thanks to them that M.L.F is actualy a game by ATLUS called Gunbird. from what I could find the reason things changed when it came over here was that some big company somewhere didn't think that a game like Gunbird would sell over here because it was to anime which is just plain dumb if you ask me. I don't even know what to call this game anymore now you know the truth so im just going to stick with M.L.F. I hardly played this game at all when i was a kid because I just couldn't get to grips with it. I was certain that I either had the wrong disc or by selecting one of the characters I would get the game I saw on the cover but nope I was stuck with this random shoot em up which I SUCKED AND STILL DO SUCK AT!!! this game is hard man thats all there is to it. Honestly I like M.T.L even if everything that makes it Gunbird is pretty much gone it’s still a really fun game and if you get the chance I feel like you should pick it up and hey I hear the actual Gunbird has be ported to switch so now is as good a time as any to give it a go.

I just want to end this by saying thank you to the wonderful and amazingly talented artist mousieex over on Instagram to get me to wirte again i really would be lost without you. So please go show her some love she deserves it.

I mean come on just look at this man its great!!

Gunbird for the Sega Saturn complete with registration card and spine card.

A great shoot-em-up with all hand-drawn artwork. One of my favorite import titles.

This was released on the PSOne in the US as Mobile Light Force, but with some lousy cover art unrelated to the game, and all of the in-game story screens removed.

That last post from retrogaminglife got me interested in this game Mobile Light Force. 

From the artwork I thought maybe it was an FPS but I couldn’t understand why the sequel would use the same artwork? 

It really is a bit bizarre. Actually it is a shoot ‘em up.

Originally the game came out in 1994 on the Arcades as Gunbird and got a home port to the Playstation and Sega Saturn shortly after in 1995 in Japan. Not until 2002/2003 did XS bring it to Europe and North America as Mobile Light Force. The PS2 came out in 2000 so that is really late in the original Playstation’s lifecycle. Read someone else’s review here

There was a Gunbird 2 but that didn’t become Mobile Light Force 2.

The second game Shikigami no Shiro was released in arcades in 2001 and got a home port in Japan in 2002. Again XS brought it to North America in 2003 and rebranded it as Mobile Force 2
