Patman's reviews never disappoint!

There's nothing quite like waking up and finding new Patman content.

The only Sega arcade game where you fight both a tiger and a gorilla as bosses. Such a great game.

I love the Sega Genesis version. Its really difficult but man its soundtrack is awesome.

Whoever plays in this video is frikkin flawless, dodging every single bullet.

Uncle Buck is pretty underrated

I absolutely loved ESWAT in the arcades as a kid, even if it really was just Shinobi as a cop in hindsight. But it was one of those BS games that wouldn't let you put in any more money on the final level to continue. HAted it when games do that, especially when they give you no warning.

So many memories of this game. The best one being almost getting to the end in co-op with a classmate that would go on to become a lifelong friend. Thank you so much.

My day is always brighter when I see a new upload form you

I always laugh at the delivery of "Oh, thank you Officer!".

You make awesome videos. Love the modern take on nostalgic classics !

Streets of Rage was first a potential ESwat Spin-off before becoming his own thing. Also the ESwat armor looks a lot like the remake Robocop.

ESWAT was one of my favorite SEGA games! It took awhile to learn the play mechanics but it was awesome! Thank you for taking me back to those good ol days🌟👍🤖❤

one of my fav arcade games ever, the concept of having armor was mindblowing for me back when I was a kid. Thank you for making this video!

The music in this game did it for me. Still does 🕺🏾 Awesome vid once again 👏🏾 👌🏾

Thanks for the recap - appreciate it! I have to say though that I do not remember this game at all... around the time it came out there was this spot in Vancouver that had 4 video arcades all in one block and I used to stop by on my way home every night and don't recall any of them ever having this game

Would be nice to see this game get an HD remake.

Sega's Time Out arcade at the mall, I'll never forget the lines at Eswat

Played this so much when I was younger. Absolutely loved the aesthetic and the boss design.

This is, by far, one of the most entertaining and informative channels to which I subscribe. Thanks for all your hard work and for bringing this history to light!

I love how bullets in 16 bit games always travelled through space slower than a brisk jog.

Hell yeah brother! Missed you sir! Did anyone else notice how much the color Gray, is in this game? Gray Swat!

Thanks for the history lesson Patman. This is one that I missed in the arcade, and would have loved to play.

Loved this game. “OH! THANK YOU OFFICER!”

How did I miss this ? I asked for it a while back and Pat delivers . Thanks Mr P!

For a Robocop-y, this looks pretty good! 0:45 Reminds me of Konami's Ajax. Surprised I haven't heard of this one.

This also reminds me of RoboCop V Terminator on the Megadrive. Excellent video PatmanQC, i love these "Happy little gaaaaaaames".

Always awesome to see a new Patman episode!

My friend and I sneaked into his older brothers room and played this on his imported Japanese Mega Drive when it was first released in 1990 - it blew my tiny mind and i've had a soft spot for it ever since - especially the amazing boss and final boss OSTs! Completed the Mega Drive version for the first time in years during the first lockdown on my RG350M, once you get the suit it really gets going. I'd absolutely love a Metroidvania-style remake, i think there's definite potential if done in a similar style to Shadow Complex or something. 🤞

Love your videos you pick all the good obscure games I thought no one else cared about.

Ah, 1989, just at the higher edge of Arcade games I like. Never seen this in the flesh though but I think I would had appreciated it. Thanks to emulation I can. Thanks Pat! :-)

I remember when E-Swat came out. I only could make it to the monster truck boss back then. Thinking about it now, it's crazy that there wasn't a suit repair power-up on the stages. Cool throwback Patman💪

Excellent videos PatmanQC

Thunder blade remember me blue thunder helicopter from the movie and the tv show!!! I enjoyed watching all of them!!! Excellent video!!!!

Loved the documentary as always! I used to play this on the Genesis and arcade quite a bit.

Another hidden arcade gem. Thanks Pat! Loved this game when it came out and still fire it up every now and then.

Thanks for sharing this. I got this game in a Sega collection on my Xbox One but I really never played it. I will have to give it a good playthrough soon.

Cool video PatmanQC, thanks. ESwat, I needed to use as many continues on the Arcade version to complete it. The Genesis version unfortunately has limited continues, and both can be very challenging. Neat game concept of Robocop. Thanks!

My parents were cool with me watching R rated films as a kid (born in '81), so I grew up watching every Schwarzenegger film, but I must say that Robocop absolutely scared the crap out of me and still gives me the chills just thinking about it to this day.

This was a great episode PatmanQC. I remember ESwat very well in both the arcades and on my Sega Genesis. I actually never really cared for the arcade version and probably would have never gotten ESwat had it not been given to me as a gift. However, the Sega Genesis port was absolutely fantastic and I played that game for months after I got it. I will say this about the other 16-bit versions....I remember being a bit jealous that we here in the states never really got the 16-bit micros like the UK and Europe. I remember thinking "man they all must be playing arcade perfect ports of everything." Don't get me wrong I loved my Nes and Sega Master System but if you remember back then it was all about bits. If something was 16-bit it was automatically 10 times better than 8-bit or so we all thought (I was 7 or 8). At any rate, I still don't have much experience with the micros but I can honestly say the experiences I had with my Sega Genesis/Sega CD and Snes more than made up for us being a little late to the 16-bit party. Looking at ESwat for the Amiga made me very happy I had the Sega Genesis port. While it looked stunning not having the music would have driven me insane.

Your videos are really great. And man, ive had this game for years and i never knew that you got the suit later in the game. Im gonna revisit it with a friend.

Patman coming through like Jordan in a losing Chicago Balls quarter, the arcade historian we dont deserve! I played this at Peter Pan's cafe in my hometown of Walsall England, when it came out. After Golden Axe and Shinobi, and just before Shadow dancer and Alien storm which also followed in the cafe..SEGA were on fire during this time. I was also disappointed when the MD version was modified, but it was a good game none the less, and it was common for arcade conversions to be reworked, it's a shame and a mystery why SEGA relegated an arcade port to the obscure Astro city mini release meaning much of the west misses out. Lastly the second stage boss is very likely an homage to Joe Strummer lead singer of the Clash punk band, as the Stranglers is on the wall by him, yet his appearance is more like Strummer than Hugh Cornwell, Capcom did something similar to this with Birdy's stage in Street fighter with many punk bands names being visible. And very lastly, the final boss looks like some kind of weird Shriner master mason on his lodge throne.lol Thankyou Pat you never cease to reproduce my childhood arcade memories, and Im very grateful.

a lot of memory with this game thanks a lot for the documentary

Thanks for the vídeo man, great inspiration.

Thank you for this very entertaining review. I never heard of this game until now, but I will definitely give it a try. The bosses are so insane they almost reach parody levels. The Genesis port looks great too. I'll have to try that as well.

Loved it as usual!! Such a great game but hard to get anyone on!

Loved the Genesis version. A tad on the short side but lots of fun and with an absolutely incredible soundtrack.

Patman failed to mention that many of the home conversions have the character too close to the right edge of the screen when moving forward and has no way to react to incoming harm. The Genesis version is very close to my heart and is a game I boot from time to time. I can finish it without losing a life even though I didn't play it very much, just 30 years.

Awesome video buddy

I wrote down three hilarious lines from this video that I look forward to using today at work (with attribution of course). :)

The trick with nasty Nick was to go at him with no ammo and kick him in the nuts for a one hit kill. Never will forget that trick.

Pat man should change his name to fedex, because he always delivers!!!

ESwat! First Sega game I bought only because of the voice acting lol I also thought it was robocop.

Loved ESWAT growing up. The local Aladdin's Castle had it 👍. You familiar with Joe @ Same Name, Different Game, Patman? You guys should team up for some joint projects. Both of you guys cover the various ports of a respective game & both of you make great content! Thanks for sharing your personal story with us recently, too 🖐.

Great game It sadly always crashed on my mame 2003 and still does on that same version I have, like 3 minutes into the first level everytime

This is one of the first games I ever had for Sega it'll hold a special place with me probably long as I live ....eswat Forgotten worlds Ms man altered beast Shinobi George foreman's ko boxing the EA NBA games some many complete classics that give me a sense of nastolgia What a wonderful time to be a kid back in the early and mid 90s

The Boss Music in the Genesis version was so great!

i loved this game as a kid

id play it everyday after school in the arcades and completed it. great learning curve and fun to come back to ..plus the volume on the cabinet was maxed out , the music its so smooth and funky but the board was a pirate (like many many game in the uk) so the ending sequence was all crashed and skewered ( iu could guess though by the flashing and fading to grey it was the cliche newspaper montage thingy ) .. but anyway my personal hot champion tips... 1. When you get to the boomerang man, waste all your bullets just before he comes on screen and you can walk straight towards him, jump over the girl and take him out in ONE KICK before he gets chance to throw the boomerang. 2. Try to reach the bosses with the scatter-spray bullet special weapon . The tiger, gorilla , monster truck , black devils and most enemies are dead after 2 close-up blasts of it ,(easily the most powerful of all...the closer , the better)

I just noticed the "They Live" reference in the game.

Great video and I remember playing the game in the arcade and on the megadrive. I now actually have the full arcade version via Mame ROM but I cannot activate the special weapons for some reason. Where the special weapons activated via a dedicated button or do I need to hold down the normal gun cannon button to fire them ? . Great memories and keep up the great work. On a side note. Eswat and RoboCop also have some terminator influences in them too especially those two Eswat robot bosses that breakdown and look like terminator skeletons.

Thankfully Sega was on the cutting edge of coin op for years. That's how I respect them.

“Fell apart like a drag queen at 3am.” 🤣

hahaha thanks for pointing out the karaoke mic... never noticed that

I like how the main character looks like a skinny-fat uncle. Very inclusive lol

5:19 in robo army, when you run out of special attacks you kick the crap out of the enemies.... another coincidence

Great video 👍

I luv'ed this arcade, still do. The Mega drive version was good. I enjoyed the spectrum version a lot. It plays like the Shinobi ZX version.

Although arcade cabinets have gone up pretty high in price over the years, this game can still be had pretty cheaply for couple hundred bucks fully working

wow dont even remember this one, nice to learn about a game i never heard of :)

Same here..Still enjoyable, still satisfying..better get ready for more arcade classics history and a bottle of Coca-Cola, bringing Snack and have some relaxation time to watch..You Did a Pretty Great Job, Mr. Patman...Sega has always have a special place in my heart along with Nintendo, Capcom, SNK, Data East and other video game companies..Modern seems okay, but..i'll stay with Retro

Am I weird? I am desperately waiting for Patman and his Farts and Queefs!!!

Patman! Do Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker! There’s gotta be some great stories behind it, and I loved playing both the arcade and Genesis versions.

The controls felt like Shinobi so I liked it from the start. Use to play it at a circle k back in the day

Never played this, played the very different home version to death though

LOL THE POWER UP LOOKS LIKE A DXXK

1989 was a great year for everything from Pro wrestling, video games in general,, sports,e.t.c..E-Swat was a fun arcade and I must've spent over $5 bucks playing the arcade. SEGA was ruling the arcade scenes in those days. Plus, some of the music has some bits from another SEGA game that came to the cartridge the following year, Dick Tracy

I always enjoyed E-Swats & Shinobis SoundTracks! Thought they were cool for the the time.

i look forward to your videos and hearing your voice.

The robot suit they wear reminds me more of the cartoon "Centurians" (POWER EXTREME!) than RoboCop.

10:01 Only real heroes can be tough enough to run up and fight a monster truck. 🤜 🛻

I missed this series my brother had this game

For me the best Shinobi is Revenge of Shinobi. The 2nd best Shinobi game is E-Swat MD (I think the shares a lot of the Revenge team?). The level design, atmosphere and music are incredible it just loses out to Revenge by sort of running out of steam on the last level.

There's a Flashback Arcade near my house I visit with this one on free play, so I was able to get all the way through it. It is quite the quarter muncher and pretty unfair, especially in later levels. I miss games like this, though.

The rotating question mark is a staple.

Loved the Genesis version, except for the final boss for It's anti-climatic end. You lose your suit after beating It expecting to fight him without the knock-off suit In a fair fight (Even the HUD changes). but It's just a cutscene. :(

I wish they’d resurrect some of these classics!! I would love to see a new alien syndrome, E Swat and golden axe!!!

This was one of the earliest games I had for Sega genesis

Cyber cop by day, Elvis impersonator by night!

Companies like Ocean and LJN are the worst thing to happen to movie games. They were so bad they didn't even realize it.

I like how the Fat Man kinda looks like Karnov and The Captain kind of looks like Kruel Kurt from Vendetta.

Yep and awesome but tough Arcade Game genesis version isn't much different I believe but not sure. Could Reboot it and update it maybe 2029 since it started anniversary they would do it if choose to. Great Video getting the TMNT Cowabunga Collection Arcade Classics and Capcom Belt Action and Fighting Collection. Worth checking out.

Chef's kiss!

Thanks patman for great video..ahh the golden Sega years..very tough game that takes a lot of learning..the mega drive was a better version..doesn't happen very often 🤭

🙏 brother

I loved ESWAT!

Need an Area 51 or Time Crisis video House of the dead maybe

6:25 in robo army you fight a robot gorilla, coincidence?

I hard about Cyber Police Eswat for a long time I will play the arcade version first and the Sega genesis version next. 😀👍🎮

I was hoping they would port the arcade version on the Sega Ages Games on switch but I’ll do with the genesis
