===Description=== Time Crisis is a first-person on-rails light gun shooter series of arcade video games by Namco, introduced in 1995 It is focused on the exploits of a fictional international intelligence agency who assigns its best agents to deal with a major threat by a hostile organisation, which has ranged from criminals, terrorists, to hostile military outfits, and mostly take place within fictional locations across the world. The arcade series differed from other light gun shooters of its time by incorporating unique mechanics, including the ability to duck into cover to dodge attacks and reload the player's weapon, and forcing players to complete battles in each level within an allotted amount of time. Over time, the series developed to incorporate additional features of gameplay, including two-player co-operative modes on arcade machines, the ability to use additional weapons in combat, and dealing with dangerous events. Alongside arcade machines, the series was also developed for consoles, beginning with a port of the first installment to PlayStation consoles in 1995, with all ported versions of arcade titles featuring additional content and game mechanics, such as additional stages, and different difficulty modes. Alongside the main games in the series, it has spawned a number of spin-off titles that incorporate the cover mechanics and time limit gameplay elements, but with notable differences in combat situations and organisations involved in each game's story. ---From Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Crisis For more information on this game and to read my comments on this TAS, click on the description section above.

9:26 Richard Miller, the absolute gigachad who climbs down a sheer brick surface with a gun in one hand. 💪💪

Over the years, I always got the feeling that this game, rough as it is, had a certain quality that the later Namco shooters never recaptured, and after watching this again, I finally figured out what. The *urgency.* Notice that almost every second Richard isn't slaughtering foes, he's running like hell? It really looks like that he doesn't have a second to lose, that if he dawdles for even a moment, Rachel could die (or become a thrall of Wild Dog, which is arguably even worse). 2 had some nice cliffhanger moments, but it was clear that Keith and Robert weren't in any great hurry, and I never got the sense that Gen. Diaz's harebrained scheme ever had any chance of succeeding. 3 was an outright war, massive firepower taking precedence over speed. 4 resembled an Indiana Jones movie to me more than anything, nasty critters and a dark cave and an old enemy and a comical brawl. 5 was one of the slowest-paced Namco games I've ever played. Crisis Zone and Razing Storm, of course, were all about wreaking wholesale destruction and had lengthy boss fights. This is really the only one that comes across _as_ an actual time crisis.

I wasn’t expecting the first Time Crisis to be so cinematic. I’m really impressed with what they did.

I love the Stage Clear screens. Have this real Naohito Takahashi "Berserk" kind of vibes to them - well-captured character action/determination caught in a single frame. Real nice.

Rachel: "Don't come!" Richard: "I'm gonna come"

This is the real Time Crisis, where you ran out of time and you had to either deposit more quarters to continue or start all over.

4:27 "Don't Come, it's a trap!" has a very different meaning now compared to 1995.

Awesome TAS!!!!! Love the sharper 3D models and textures on the Arcade original than the PS1 home port.

Happy 25th anniversary Time Crisis Anthology and VSSE forever and for life 💖💓♥️💛💚💙💜💝💟

6:21 that chandelier drop and "YAAAAAAAGHHH" is iconic to me 🤣used to kill me laughing at this scene in the PS1 game

Man such nostalgia. I remember playing this at the coin laundry all the time back in the day lol.

ACTION packed game, for sure.

9:34 Kids, don't try this at home.

Although i'm not a fan of this game it's a special one for me because I always remember my late father. The only Ps1 game he played and saw him enjoy it . I don't see him like that much because he's serious all the time it's like seeing my father's inner child. Sweet nostalgia :)

I am loving the dialogue in this game! XD So utterly cheesy it's hilarious!

Love the The Fly homage with the pods in the control room, never noticed them before. Cool stuff

This game has a really good sound desing, different shoot sound depending on where you are. A lot of effort was put on that aspect, and you have to take into acount that you will be playing this in a arcade gallery with mixed sounds on the ambient. Only now you can really hear everything

Time Crisis blew my mind when I was a kid. I spent days on end practicing my shots on a TV that was only 14" Wide until I finally beat the game and could brag to my friends that I had beat the game with a 67% accuracy rating.

I played this arcade game a lot in my younger days, still a great game, Time Crisis 3 is the best one in the series for me!

I think other comments have said all that needs to be said about this legend but to add my little bit, this was the first arcade game I played where the physical gun actually had the mechanism where the top of the gun realistically popped back with each shot. I haven’t seen much of that these days, rather, the gun just vibrates. It felt so realistic and powerful. Coupled with having to engage with the foot pedal, it was so immersive at such an early time for 3D arcade games. Amazing game and an amazing TAS! Great job! Also that click at 14:41 always felt oddly satisfying 😂

Amazing to think that the WR is 9'27 only, and achieved 20+ years ago.

Wow man- huge game for me when I was a kid. I had the blue gun controller that actually recoiled when you'd fire in this game. It felt like you were discharging a weapon for real. Its so strange, the minutia of what sticks and engrains into your memory, like fibers in a rug after two foreign objects come together. When the music started in the game, I instinctively started humming along bc I knew the notes. the Picture of the guy's back view as he runs at @4:55- I've had that photo stuck in my brain since I played this. I just couldn't remember "what cartoon it was from". (I had myself half convinced it was from a cartoon I must've seen before) I haven't played this in 27 years. smh

You missed the time saves which and give you a better time 3:53 You save a lot of time if you shoot the car and destroy it 5:55 Shoot the thing on the right to know the barrels down which will save time 11:23 You don't have to shoot the bonus guy on the far left, it saves time if you shoot the grenade guy first 11:49 Shoot the ninja on the top right first, it's a massive time save, it prevents the upcoming enemies from spawning Shoot the grenades at 13:45 and 13:55 They are big time saves too!!

Man crazy how namco was able to dominate the early 80’s and the mid 90’s.

Esse jogo marcou minha geração de maneira muito agradável... a excelência na execução de todos os personagens com excelência... sem perder um único pixel... fica até difícil crer que foi um humano a executar tamanho feito!!! Parabéns pela mestria apresentada aqui!!

I adore this game, one of the earliest experiences that got me in the art of shooting a gun. I live in England by the way.

Richard Miller the badass agent, one man army. I sure love the old school English voice actors.

"It's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten."

I was obsessed about this game on the arcades

The neat detail about this game is that the pistol sound during indoors are outdoors are different... Love it when they give love to this simple game

Man this game brings back so many memories. Back when arcade games were still huge

I almost forgot how cheesy these games were...but I still loved 'em! Actually...I STILL love 'em to this day.

Such a great gungame with some epic memorable music

That accuracy....🥲👍

11:00 agent miller learns to phase through wooden boxes

I can't wait to see if this genre ever garners any favor in the live action gaming world now that its becoming a reality. This would be amazing on VR or even a FPS

I have a feeling Wild Dog is immortal

No aim bot and Richard Miller proves he was the ultimate Chad still

I used to pride myself on 100% runs of this. Back in the days wielding the good ol' G-Con 45!! No bloody tool assisted bs back then ;)

Richard Miller, The OG one man army of video game

A game I saw when I was child. It brought memories on my mind.

VSSE: "The son of the former emperor is trying to take the president's daughter to force him to restore imperial rule. And there's word that he may have employed a kooky old dude named Wild Dog who loves explosives and has a really hard time dying." TASbot: "... be back in 10." VSSE: _"nani?!"_ TAS: "did I stutter?"

What a blast from the past.

What a game Also the whole thing reminds me of that sniper headshot in Enemy at the Gates where they're trying to jump across that gap lol

I love this, reused a portion in Time Crisis 2 as a part of end credits. And in Time Crisis 5, on Robert Baxter's last stand.

This TAS guy is breaking records everywhere, jeez.

Damn good shooting! ⏱️

dear god this game brings back so many memories X*)!!!!

Brings back alot of memories

1:58 that's crazy fast. You dropped 3 enemy in 1 second 😮 Took me aa while using thy mouse

This is thr first time efer,i saw the most PERFECT gameplay of Time Crisis

Richard stared too long into the abyss.

TAS is canon

f*** Fortnite we all homies playing Time Crisis

Loved that when it was new in the arcades

I always liked going Die Hard on the mobs…just dumping several rounds center mass. So cathartic.

OMG The fastest TAS in the West!!

Holy shid, he don't miss. Man's got GOD mode on. (BTW I'm aware that this is a TAS, I'm just joking here)

Bae: Come over to my place Me: I can't, I'm playing Time Crisis Bae: My parents aren't home

Ohhhh.... childhood. How i miss you....

Perfect shot!

Then I remember getting this on PlayStation with the gun and the pedal

my favorite gun game

I would love to see a remake/master of this. They can add some qol things like the crisis flash and not getting an instant game over when the time ends. Something I also think would be cool is if the arcade mode had a modern and retro mode. Modern could have the multiple weapons and possibly multiplayer and retro is the classic single player with just the pistol

Great video

Had this on PS1. The gun was a beast.

This gets me right in my childhood

HD and 60fps. nice.

That is a hell of a less than 20 minute film!

Good action!

Time Crisis 1 is literally a playable movie.

The adventures of Richard and Rachael.. . Just before he pulls his gun he pronouces... "it's Miller time"

5:04 props to the bad guys for climbing to that tower in less than 30 seconds.

It's funny they gave an unstoppable killing machine the name Richard Miller, sounds like an accountant. Used to love this game

Ah good times on time crisis man I love the area clear theme 💯😃

Canonically accurate Richard Miller:

NGL the fact that one bullet killed 3 enemies at times had me full on laughing out loud

Played this in my house when I was like 5-7 with the gun and everything. I remember not being able to beat the story! It was so hard! I wonder I’ll do any better now 20 years later.

Hey, we're back! It's been a while, almost in few months ago...

It is crazy that Wild Dog kept on appearing in almost every Time Crisis.

my childhood :D every gas station had this arcade with 2 pistols :') never finished it but had a lot of good time anuyway

I remember I was so young I didn't understand the calibration screen. So when I seen my bullet not lining up I would focus my aim away from the centre until my misguided bullet hit the centre. Made it bloody solid playing for months with an purposely calibrated skewed aim lol

It’s exciting to see a lone man carries a handgun with infinite ammo, destroying a whole castle.😁

My kid self always wanted to see an action flick based on the og Time Crisis.

This is awesome

man the player dude is perfectly avoiding all collateral damage while the bad guys are fucking up the treasure museum.

bruh i don't remember time crisis was this epic.

Imagine Robocop barging into your stronghold, killing upwards of 300 of your henchmen, and destroying 2 helicopters with a single pistol and you think yeah I'll beat him with TWO pistols

The hours i have sunk into this game

Non arcade game can finish Time Crisis in sub 9 minutes without any cheat, just need memory muscle and enemies spotted on exact place. The biggest weakness with arcade is the delay when you let go and step on pedal cost you roughly 30 seconds on entire run. On PS version, you can make it faster by just press button instead of stepping on it. If you used cheat ammo, you can finish it in 8 mins without any reload or hide except on some places. I remember when I finally beat the game in less than 9.40 on normal run, 8.30 on cheat mode. I don't have my save anymore due my PSX optic is completely dry and it wont run anymore (nobody sell that parts due being too obsolete to sell again), that was 10 years ago. Only very few played this game and nobody care if you make new record except if you played on most popular games that has thousands of them compete at same time.

うますぎ

My friends and I would play this together - the second player controller would be used to duck, and the other person would use the gun. If I was playing by myself, I would put the controller on the floor and hit the button with my toe. Fun stuff!

It's Hammer Time 😀💪🏾👊🏾💥👍🏾❤️.

I used to own a 50" arcade version I bought from work when I worked for namco back around 2005. Our sales guy at the home office sold it to me cheap for like 250. I think third game I owned. I sold it, and have over 20 machines now lol!

I would play the absolute hell out of this on playstation with the guncon good times

Clearly, Sherudo Garo miscalculated. The VSSE has a experimental ground combat variant of Z.O.E. Program tech, going off what we've seen here.

Time Crisis but it's John Wick. 5:09 lmao Having never got to play the original since it was never in any arcades all those years ago, was awesome to see how it started. Time Crisis 2 was available and was played over and over and still to this day when able to come across it.

Richard Miller THE very best agent

17 minutes of a TAS game where the MC shoots like John Wick.
