Firepower 2000 Two-Player Playthrough (Actual SNES Capture)

This is a capture of me and a friend playing through Firepower 2000 on the SNES. This is not an emulator. This footage was recorded directly from my Super Nintendo using a real Firepower 2000 cartridge. I'm player one (Jeep) and Drew is player two (Helicopter).

In addition to my single-player playthroughs of this game, I couldn't help but post a two-player video since this is where the game really shines. I have always liked cooperative games since I was a kid, and this game is one of the reasons why.

I used to play this game at my uncle's house all the time during the early '90s. I was the only person (except for my cousin) who would use the Jeep. My uncle and brother would always use the Helicopter, so I had to use the Jeep, not that it bothered me. I actually prefer the Jeep.

In this video I'm using the typical strategy that I relied on back in the '90s with my brother and uncle. I would let them have all the Plasma early on to take care of enemy aircraft and so they'd still have a Level 7 weapon if they died a bunch. I would in turn rely on Flame, which has higher damage output.

Later on in Stage 3 I start using the Laser and then I get my own Plasma in Stage 4. By Stage 5 I simply switch to Ionic since it's the best all-around weapon in the game.

We died a few times in this playthrough, but overall it went well. Enjoy the footage.

Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official SNES S-video cable at 60 frames per second. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the SNES's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.

We're using standard SNES controllers.
