Welcome back mortals to another retro game series on my YouTube channel.
Today we're going back to 1996 on the old fashioned Arcade Console Machines and I'll be playing an Obscure game known as Osman.
Osman is a side scroll action platformer game.
Many ex-Capcom staff including Kouichi Yotsui ( credited as Isuke ) worked on the original arcade version of Strider and designed Osman as an unofficial sequel to Strider.
I think if you remember the original Arcade version of Strider, and you play or watch someone play this game, you will absolutely pick up on the mechanics and play style of this game that was absolutely heavily influenced by the original Strider game.
In contrast to Strider's futuristic Kazakh-Soviet setting, Osman is set in a neon-lit cyberpunk Arabian setting, while Strider Hiryu is replaced by a Middle-Eastern protagonist named Osman ( Kirin ) who fights without any weapons.
The controls of Osman consist of an eight-way joystick for moving the character, and three action buttons for attacking, jumping, and activating a special attack which will destroy all on-screen enemies ( which has only a limited number of uses and cannot be fully replenished until the player loses a life ).
The player can also climb walls and ceilings as well.
The player character attacks primarily with his powerful kicks, which can fatally slice through most of the enemy soldiers in the face.
Pressing down and the jump button will cause the player to slide.
While sliding, the player character can do a slide kick with the attack button or grab certain enemies and flip them over with the jump button.
The player can also dash by holding the joystick left or right after sliding.
There are four types of power-up capsules that the player can retrieve by destroying certain floating containers.
The red capsules will increase the player character's attack power by allowing him to create body images of himself that will mimic his movement for example.
The main character's attack power can be determined by the color of his pants. In his starting level, the character's pants will be blue, which changed to purple with the first power-up ( which allows him to create one body image ), followed by red ( two body images ) and white ( four body images ). The strongest attack level is black, which increases the player character's attack range.
If the player takes damage from an enemy, Osman's attack power will be reduced by one level.
Other power-up items include a green power-up that restores one health point, a yellow power-up that increases the maximum health by one point, and a blue power-up that restores the player's complete health.
Osman himself is an elite fighter of Teki, a mercenary unit whose members boast incredible physical prowess and skill, training their physique until they can be called weapons.
Among them, Osman stands as a top-class fighter expert in hand-to-hand combat, having succeeded in a secret style of martial arts, and as such he holds the title of the strongest Teki.
Silent and stoic, Osman is a man of little words but strong determination, stopping at nothing to accomplish his goal. He also appears to have a strong sense of loyalty, and when betrayed he reveals a violent and vengeful side.
Osman the game is set in a dystopian late 21st century in which Earth is under control of a single federal government.
One day, a new threat known as Abdullah the Slaver aka an evil sorceress who wants to take control of the world appears, causing widespread terror and panic.
This fear incites the abandonment of all economic activity and corruption in the government, which now undermines the foundations of society itself.
Judicial Affairs Director, Jack Layzon, fears the worst and summons a lone assassin named Osman.
As Osman travels toward the Federal Capital in Prague, he has to face not only Abdullah the Slaver and the government forces but also the other members of the Teki, who want him dead for their own personal reasons.
Osman is hired by the Federal Attorney general Jack Layzon to reclaim one of his cities from a terrorist leaning cult named Slaver, who worships a God without form.
Osman infiltrates the city in the midst of the night and makes his way into the cult's main temple at its center.
Once inside, however, Layzon suddenly appears with a huge police force and, using all the disturbance caused by the conflict as a legal excuse, has the cultists arrested.
Having no further use for Osman, Layzon betrays him via the police force suddenly attacking Osman without warning and leaves him to die in a scorching desert chained to a large rock.
Osman has a new mission now.... GET REVENGE ON THAT TRAITOR...JACK LAYZON.
I'm playing this on Bulma's Arcade Emulator at Capsule Corp.
But that's enough talk. Let's get this game started already.
In this episode, I start the game and I take on Stage 1.
Osman will complete his mission... at all costs!!
Everyone shall pay
