Volfied (Arcade) - Gameplay

In this video, I'm doing a gameplay video of a game that I remembered playing this on Windows 95 as an MS-DOS game. That game is: Volfied for the Arcade. This game was developed and published by Taito, it was released in the Arcade in 1989. Volfied was also ported to home computers, like: Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, Commodore 64, PC Engine, MS-DOS and Sega Mega Drive (aka Sega Genesis). The Sega Genesis version was also known as: Ultimate Qix in North America. This game can also be found in Taito Legends, released in 2005 for the PS2, Xbox and PC. Volfied is the successor to Qix (released in 1981), with extra features and a futuristic science fiction aesthetic, rather than Qix's abstract geometry style; the player pilots a small spaceship named "Monotros" instead of a Stix, and the enemies come in the form of various aliens. The story of Volfied goes like this: Taking place in another galaxy, a space pilot is returning to his home world of Volfied, only to discover that it is under attack by an unknown alien force. The few remaining Volfied inhabitants are in an underground location of the planet and signal the pilot to their aid. The pilot flies to Volfied using his ship's defensive weapons in order to eliminate the alien threat and save his people. The overall gameplay is identical to that of Qix. However, the main enemy is no longer a collection of lines - instead it varies between levels, and is always accompanied by smaller enemies. When the player's spaceship succeeds in claiming a section of the level, the side where the main enemy is taken as "the outside". Any smaller enemies ending up on "the inside" are killed, resulting in point bonuses. In order to complete a level, the player must claim at least 80% of a level's area. Previously, the limits were 75% in Qix and 70% in Super Qix. Each level in Volfied has a unique background and enemies. As the player claims areas of the level the cleared area graphic is replaced with the graphic of the next level. Grey boxes also appear on the field — these give the player a random power-up when collected. Power-ups can grant the player speed or even weapons. There is a special completion bonus on certain levels, often attained by shooting the main enemy. About the gameplay video of Volfied: I keep practicing to get further with the highest score possible, but this game can be very annoying at times, because of the enemies and the main enemy. Overall, Volfied is a really tough, but fun game. If you want to try this game out? Then I highly recommend it to give the Arcade version or the home computers a try, like: the MS-DOS version for example. I hope you enjoy this gameplay video of Volfied for the Arcade and thanks for watching!
