I love how 8man just casually goes back into his office suit after the game to clock in from lunch 😂

I love this game I used to play it all the time in the arcade when I was a kid this brings back a lot of memories😃

I'm so happy that an 8Man game exists. And it's pretty cool for it's age at that. 😎

Just when I thought I've played most of the Neo Geo library...I stumble across this hidden gem! Never saw it in any arcades back in the day but I'm loving the swag this game has going on to where I have to try it 😇

I remember the first time I learned about this game's existence was when I saw it being played by the actor Bokeem Woodbine in the HBO original movie: Strapped.

This is awesome. Didn't even know there was an 8-Man game. Neo Geo had the best music and sound f/x back then. I wasn't even good at the games, I just played them in the arcade bc they were so cool

When I first discovered this game, I thought it was based on the 1993 OVA 8-Man After. But I was wrong; its actually loosely based on the 1960s animated series starring 8-Man. Since this game came out in 1991 (the same year as Street Fighter II and Megaman 4), this game predates 8-Man After by 2 years. But still, it was nice of Neo-Geo to make this game. While it remains the first and only game given to our beloved cyborg superhero, it is a classic nevertheless. And one that has earned a special place in my heart.

i love how the game has an animated style during the intro stuff, but the game has a more live action type style during gameplay

Oh hey I remember this one! It was shown before because another channel did a bit of a documentary on Neo Geo and mentioned this is based on a manga. It reminds me of superhero shows like _Getterman_ and _Kamen Rider_ 😊

“There’s a prehistoric monster that came from Outer Space! Created by the Martians to destroy the human race! The FBI is helpless, they’re up against the wall! What can we do? Who can we call? Call Tobor, the 8th Man, Call Tobor, the 8th Man! Faster than a rocket, faster than a jet! He’s the mighty robot, he’s the one to get! Call Tobor, the 8th Man! Quick, call Tobor, the mightiest robot of them all!”

This game looks awesome

@1:43 that boss reminds me a bit of Blanka from SF2- the crouching stance, long arms and it doesn't hurt that he is green as well.

This is actually one game I never saw

Snk's answer to megaman

Wow! I remember seeing an arcade game of Eight[h] Man in some restaurant when I was a kid. And yet I never knew that it was based on a manga and anime at the time.

最近私のチャンネルでこのゲームをクリアしました、とても気に入りました！シンプルだけどとても楽しい提案です！素晴らしいビデオです！

Legend

Oddly enough, the first boss, Super Robot 5, is one of 8-Man's rivals from the 60s series. Too bad none of the other baddies from the show made it in here. No Ken, Samantha 7, Jupiter, or even the Armored Man. Oh well. I guess we just have to take what we can get in this case.

Great gameplay, yet bizarre adaptation of source material

A lot NEOGEO games made it to the PS4 & Xbox One. I am wondering how this got missed. Looks great.

Music is awesome

I have the original 100 mega shock big ass cartridge! Thing cost me a fortune, not that it is worth anything today. LOL at least my 5 year old son will play some retro games.

Such great memories...

I remember playing this in the arcade. Good times, but pricey at 2 quarters a credit :P

Lol, the subtle predator details. The first boss and the last boss has a predator mouth on the bottom of it's 'brain stem'?

Esse Jogo é praticamente Um Altered Beast, só que com enredo de Anime Sci-Fi, alem de Mecânicas Adicionais Diferenciadas!

25:24 That's a big skeleton

Also, I think we can loosely consider player 2 to be "Hazama Itsuru" even though he doesn't exist in this game. In this game, 8-Man is Hachiro Azuma like in the manga and the 60s TV series.

maybe this is a stupid question, but do these long plays come from a community of players (likely speed runners?) or is this all one person?

...is that 9 man?

Never released on Neo Geo CD !

Voice Samples: 8-Man: (gets hit) OOH! 8-Man: (death scream) WAH! Super Robot 005: (bomb attack) HMMMM!!! Super Robot 005: (gets hit) DUGH! Super Robot 005 (death scream): GOURGH! Kozoma: (thunder bolt attack) ROO! Kozuma: (gets hit) OOH! Kozoma: (death scream) GAAAHHH!!! Cyber: (laugh) AAAHHH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!!

懐かしのレトロゲームだな

I must know why this game has not been re-released under the ACA license??????

Bom jogo acabei de Zera Ele

ネオジオで“エイトマン”なんてあったんですね！

👍👍👍👍

Man, how have I not seen this before. Hopefully it's on my pandora console.

Microsoft + Nintendo + Google + SNK Playmore + Sony + sega / should just joint forces team up and make a super ultimate console together.it would be better for gaming also make sense. 🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝

Frantic game !!

so who is player 2? the Ninth Man??

아니 이건 !! 봉8맨 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

*Was the cartoon good too?!?*

Banbindinban!

This game gave me headaches playing it, I blame the running levels.

u wot m8?

Te felicito,ni yo lo hubiera hecho mejor.

They need to add this to the switch

This sounds so much more worse and anemic than the real version. It's like they gutted the middle and bass frequencies and left overly sparkly top frequencies

A mí me han matando varias veces

This game is way too cheap, Cyber's stage is a prime example. You start out with 99 seconds riding a very slow elevator up, by the time you get to fight cyber you only got 18 seconds left, talk about being squeezed for time, and that's not even factoring his huge sprite taking up much of the screen Still, that final boss fight was quite impressive. You somehow managed to anticipate the directions of where the fireball was going to fly and dodged it accordingly. I always had a hard time finding out where his hit box is so I don't touch it and lose health in the process. Well done

Siempre odie la música psicodelyca, y por eso me daba risa este juego,, este juego es muy japones
