Episode Notes:
1. Games captured via MAME.
2. I had issues getting Zaxxon's music to play so I set it to the SMS versions music(Zaxxon 3D).
3. I used the attract mode for most of Groove On Fight's section because I'm only decent with 1 fighter. I wanted a few characters showing off for the segment and that attract mode proved perfect.
4. Sega routinely updated its arcade games during their run. It's why there is an After Burner II and Galaxy Force II. Sega updated its original releases and presented them as kinda/sorta sequels. It happened a lot more than people realize.
5. M2 developed that Fantasy Zone II DX I showed briefly. Check it out in MAME.
6. Part 2 will have some more modern games I have chosen. It should be up in 2 or 3 days barring any problems.

It’s this channel great? I’m 46 and have been gaming just as long. I never saw the robocop sequel ever too. Loved the first one. When I finally got an emulator a few years ago I made it a point to finish the arcade game and finally see the ending some 30 years later

The arcade truly was a magical time/experience. When you found something rare or different that you’d never seen before, and very likely would never see again it was incredible. I can’t imagine an experience like that with games the way they are now. It was a singular experience, unlike anything I have experienced since.

I went to a local arcade that opened quite recently. It was FULL of people, kids, familly, older people playing on pinball tables, etc. One game took me by surprise, it was a huge panel made of small LED lights forming pixelated, yet very colorfull, retro image. It was a 2P game and the mother and son playing it seemed to have a blast. It was great and impressed me much in the same way you just described it. I think the spirit of the arcade can still live up today.

It’s much better experience now though objectively. We remember these days with a nostalgic lens - but we like to forget how 90% of these games were horrible or setup so you’d die in the stupidest ways to spend more tokens
@JohnDoe-wq5eu Жыл бұрын
@@jjmah7 It's definitely different nowadays when you can just get a ROM/ emulated version with unlimited credits. Yeah there was nothing worse than a cool game that was just a total quarter muncher let alone an awful game that was the exact same way. But it's a lot like movies we only tend to remember the good ones and we totally forget the bad ones. I do think once we are able to push the nostalgia out of our eyes/minds we can see a little more clearly. But the problem is for some it's very difficult. I know I have gone back and revisited a lot of games that I absolutely loved as a kid or young adult that I can't stand now. I would say you're right about 10% are still absolutely amazing. Many are just a novelty and fun for maybe one full playthrough but most aren't.

But I'm glad it's available somewhere, because I thought the company tried to pretend it never existed.

@Kefla Arcade games exist, sure, but have you noticed that most have late 2000s graphics even in 2023? There's nothing that totally pushes the boundaries, with a quality that is totally unavailable at home. I would be surprised if most arcade games even today run as high as 1080p, much less have graphics that can blow away someone who has a modern-gen (or even last-gen) console or decently powerful computer.

I have dreams to this day of finding sequels to random arcade game at the local arcade (which has not been open for over a decade). I think the most common one I have is finding a sequel to TMNT, which was 6 player like X-men. Shredder's Revenge was a literal dream come true for me, though in my dreams Venus was a playable turtle. I also dreamed a lot of non existent pinball games, like Sonic or Zelda. Those too are kind of real now, since there's a variety of high quality Visual Pinball creations based on those (and just about anything else you can think of).

Man this was a blast from the past, I lived in the Bronx so anyone that lives in the Bronx knows every corner has a store, my corner store had 5 machines in it at all times, I remember when outrun came in it was the most amazing thing we ever seen with the steering wheel shaking when you crashed, it was a first for us. Then they took it out and brought in turbo outrun and it wasn’t the same thing, let’s just say they replaced it with another machine less than a month and a half later.

I love Fantasy Zone II on the SMS. I think it has some of the nicest background art of any game on the Master System. As you learn your route and start to find the hidden secrets it becomes easier... the warp gates link together in a simple loop so it's not as mazelike as it seems at first. You do need to always know the shortest route to a shop that sells an engine, because if you're caught without an engine upgrade you won't live long. The remake is great too, but so different it's really a whole new sequel.

Sega Lord X, originally Sega released 2 different versions of Super Hang-on at the same time being the Sit-On arcade (Easy course) and the Stand-Up arcade (Hard course). As the Sit-On was harder to steer (Easy course) each stage starts with easy corners and the corners become harder (tighter) towards the end of the stage, every stage is designed like this... The Stand-Up which was just the handlebars and was easier to operate did the reverse for each stage, stages started with harder corners going into easier corners towards the end of the stage. Generally the Stand-Up is a harder version to play any way. The Sega Megadrive version is based on the Sit-On easy course, the Atari ST and Amiga versions are based on the Stand-Up hard course. The Xbox 360 version contains both versions of the arcade and can be selected via the options as to which one you'll play.

Another great video SLX, so thanks again, as I grew up in the 70's, 80's so arcades were my church growing up in Los Angeles. While I lived in arcades when I got the chance, there are still tons of games I never saw, or ones just lost to my memories due to time passing. While I never got to see the 2 screen Rastan game, I was lucky enough to see a few of the 3 screen ones, and they were a sight to behold(Darius & Ninja Warriors). Darius was my favorite of the two, as the field of vision was insane, but the level of depth was even better.

I share a similar experience growing up in arcades with little money. I would get lost in the attract modes. Finding odd jobs to do as a mall rat to make a few bucks to drop in my favorite machine. As an arcade technician for most of my life, I always try to make sure people can hear the machines I operate. Far too often you can't hear games in public settings and for me that takes away from the overall experience.

Why sega keeps so many of their classic arcade games locked away I'll never understand, some might be licensed issues, but most can be worked on around. I'll love of they released a true arcade collection of their older titles. From the 2D scalers to the newer on 3D games. Heck, they could release them in collection packs and fans would love to buy them all.
