In the stand-up arcade version of this game, my little brother was able to make it to the rank of Brigadier General on ONE quarter. That was 24 years ago, and I still feel pride at his skill.

"COME ON. STAY LOW." Love the 90s games.

As a kid I always thought the female soldier was Jill Valentine from Resident Evil! I guess it's the beret, blue uniform, and the STAAR logo! 😁

Ah man, really brings back memories. Growing up in the 90s I played this all the time with my best friend. His mom refused to let him put in his initials and for years I never knew why. His name was Frank Andy Grant . . .

13:17 Just casually abandoning the driver who saved you to his death

I had no idea about most of these secrets! I just remember having a blast playing this at arcades in the 90's when my family went on holiday

I had a 906 streak on this game back in 1996. My proudest accomplishment in life. :p Could get through the whole game with two quarters,

My grandfather baught a sega just for this and that cop one, he would lay on his belly on the bed and play. Was stioc and hilarious at the same time.

I'm surprised you didn't save that lady that was getting chomped on in the Chow Palace

After all these years of playing this game I've never seen the Tank Top easter egg O_O wow

Fridays nights at movies 8 as a youngster...brings back lots of memories.

Used to play this game at the arcade every Saturday!! One of my favorite alien games🎮🎮👽👽👽👍👍

Oh, man what a game. I remember playing this along with House of the Dead at my laundromat near my school. That time we also had Tekken 2 and NFL Blitz. Good times, good times. By the way, on 13:19, I'm just realizing that this dude crashed into a wall for no reason.

I'm sure you know already but start a new game then use ONLY 3 bullets to kill the first 3 good guys (blue uniform military personnel), after this the screen is shown from the perspective of one of the aliens. This game was really cool.

I still to this day wish they'd make a proper remake to this

Can't say I'm surprised by the anticlimactic ending but I was still hoping for a better final boss

This game needs an ACTUAL remake! I think it had a really interesting premise!

I plunked so many quarters into this until I could literally last forever in this game (the game resets and you keep fighting until you die. The get a life stage helps you keep going.) They definitely need to re-do this badassedness in HD. With game guns and online support for 3 and 4 players. Brings back memories :-)

Kronomorphs used to terrify the shit out of me as a kid. When i got the PS1 version and found out in the manuel they birth like Xenomorphs on steroids. Slowly grow into your body and bones then litterally explode out of you...jesus christ didnt help with the childhood trauma.

Hey! You're missing the Gone Fishin' secret room!

5:25 never seen that one. Niceeeee

I remember never being able to get the tank top secret level, but being able to get every other secret more or less; the screen would scroll too fast for me to hit all the windows. Same thing with the get a life level. Some of the secret levels seem different compared to the arcade version; the arcade had a shake your buddha level. You also didn't unlock the kronn hunter mode. One thing I also loved about this arcade game was that the better you did (like the higher your accuracy was and the more bonus items you hit), the more enemies would appear and the faster they'd shoot at you; sorta like a built in difficulty gauge.

Nicely done! I don’t know anyone who’s ever beat this game by blowing up the alien space ship at the end!

I didn't even know there were secrets. XD Area 51 meme brought nostalgia and gamer stuff back.

What's missing is the other game on the cabinet.... good to know I'm not the only one hitting all the Easter eggs

Iconic game. I remember playing many hours at my local arcades and pizza joints. Now I have my PS1 copy lol

Very nice. Played that arcade so much as a kid. If I remember correctly, I believe in the very beginning if you shoot only the humans and nothing else. It gives you predator heat vision for the rest of the game.

I like how i haven’t found one playthrough where someone is shooting every single breakable object.

13:16 Well I did my job, time to die.

I never was able to get the secret areas. Of course I grew up in the 90's (Anyone here born in 92?) and the only way you knew about secrets in games was either through cheat books or through playground rumors. I miss those days.

@ 4:53 , Oh no it's amazon workers on forklifts carrying hazardous materials! Theres no deadlier warehouse combination known to man!

Great vid. Never seen someone play this game without getting hit. I play the arcade version myself. Haven't had the ps1 version since the game was ported there. There seems to be extra secret levels in mine that you didn't do and some in yours that I don't see in the version I play through. Maybe it's a matter of execution but I'm wondering why they would program the two differently but be so similar in the other 99 percent of the game. Either way. Loved the video. One of my favorite games of all time. I play it a few days a week multiple times.

I can't believe you're a 4-star general now and all it took was a few hundred confirmed kills of aliens.

Interesting! After so many years whence i first saw this game in the cabinets as a child, only now I'm discovering, that, although the soundtrack is mono, the special effects are stereo!

There's another secret room. Im not 100% sure how to replicate it. But you get to it in the area between 17:22 and 17:23. It takes you to an area where you shoot watermelons. After playing this game countless times on PS1 as a kid I found it last night on an arcade version my partner and I happened across. Ive literally not been able to find it anywhere on the internet. Maybe it happens if you shoot the dark grey things (bombs?) on the floor at the bottom? Also wow. I thought I was hot crap at this game 0.0 Edit: Ok, I did find it on the internet. Apparently the room is called Mellon Head. You get to it by shooting the windows, I think. I think its also only for the Area 51/Max Force combo arcade machine. This is the video where I found this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8WCi6V_s6i2gKs.html

Wait! Lady in blue dress with gun has a pin up!? How did i just find out about this!?

I am currently attempting these secret rooms right now. Never knew they existed.

Alright boys here's the strats we gon follow for the area 51 raid

My cousin had this on PS1 with 2 light guns! We played it 100s of times but never got past the second level. I remember playing it in arcades too

This deserves a 1st person pov remaster!

Sgt maj with one ribbon.when i played I had 2 ribbons at ssgt 4 ribbons at sgt maj by maj I had them all.So I think it goes how good of shot you are.But I’m old now I probably would be lucky to get 3 or 4 ribbons with my bad eye sight

If you’ve never played this, were you even at a CiCi’s pizza?

Is this one of the few arcade games without an end credit (staff roll) sequence if a game is completed?

another game they need to bring back and upgrade in HD is lethal enforcers 1&2

STAY LOW

I didn’t know you had so much free time on your hands

I was a pro at this game,I still have it on the PS1 buried somewhere

Why does the music lowkey slap? Lmao

Awesome play !

I had played PS1, nostalgic.

I played that since I was a Young boy.

funny. Area 51 at my local arcade looped endlessly. Does this mean whether the game is endless or not can be changed through dip switch setting?

There are a number of secret mission missing.

Thanks Star

Thanks Recon

Renegade command and conquer First decade generals electronic arts had a scene like this the zombies where called initiates zombies.

8:52 tf? It's like there's a hidden place at top right of the screen that teleportd the target back to bottom left

I remember okaying this!

16:37 We don't have firepower... but we have old PC monitors instead.

Didn't I already work with and for you though.

Thanks partner

Thanks bunny ranch and area 51 in Nevada las Vegas.

the only thing thing that sucks is that I'm trying to do this at my local arcade

They report and request also evacuation. Follow procedures.

i downloaded this game off an abandonware site and it opens in a small window and won't fullscreen. Using windows 8, 64 bit, any advice. I tried changing properties but didn't help. I obviously cant install the windows version as it doesn't work on 64 bit even though i have all the files on a cd i burned off an iso image.

Made it through head quarters and secured head quarter's.

They always give another star.

What about the alien mode from shooting all the humans

Gee...wonder if you've ever played this before

where can i get a working rom for this game??? i've downloaded the rom and chd from almost every website and none of it seems to work. it says ''no area51 roms found'' when i try to play it, im using the latest mame emulator.

Star equals S. T. A. A. R. Z See.

21:20 I did when I was younger and I could not figure how I did it

21:23 Is it even possible to get the Access Granted?

Now do the pool party from maximum force . I could never get that secret stage

Thanks wafers

What about the melon head Easter egg?

Hard as rock to make it through

What's your ETA for Evac copy them but who are they. Radio control to ground radio control to tower radio control to air radio control to stealth nuke Ion beacon cannon controls.

I would like to watch it on full hd

so my question: is it even possible to achieve 5 star general in a single playthrough of this game?

1. What is with that green K ranking? Saw it as a kid back then and still don't know what it is. 2. This was either tool assisted or idiot savant work, nobody is that perfect lmao

ザ・ハウス・オブ・ザ・デッドやヴァンパイアナイト

Area 51 for Nancy.

2:41 WTF?! 🤨 THEY'RE ALL TAKING NUMBER 1'S AND 2'S 💩

must be a pain in the ass to play with arrow keys

You always had that friend who played with both guns 😂

Lol I can't tell you how many times I accidentally shot the blue swat guys especially the hot female one I was like dammit not again

See I have my own code names for extras.

really missed during that time..

spas12のターミネーター

What does it mean exactly "streak"?

Someone remember BROOD.

Tim seems like a real cheater. I want this under a formal investigation from the government.

You forgot Shake Your Buddha! In that room you get to shoot at the developers of the game! 🤦

4:26 wtf,??

Thanks aye work twerk it good.

One star
