I worked in a comic shop that had this machine in the corner. Those sounds are lodged in my head forever. Especially the Red Skull's laugh.

The 'giant robot' is actually a Sentinel. It was a series of machines that attacked X-men and other mutants.

I ADORE THIS GAME The excitement of Wasp and Quicksilver appearing was huge This and the Spider-Man arcade game are two of the best and most underrated games of all time And I love the fact Whirlwind (and the other villains) was in it

you forgot to mention that if you pressed and held the attack button (in the arcade version) Iron Man, Cap and Hawkeye used their respective weapon as a shield. Vision turned intangible (if I remember correctly) .

"Thumbs up, soldier!!" "America still needs YOUR help!!"

I remember playing this game out in my local arcade when it first came out back in the day. I will say this, Data East was really good at separating quarters from pockets with their stand up cabinets over the years. 😂

Technically, Living Laser and Klaw were bosses, too

I first played that game in the cinema lobby when I was a kid, alongside Altered Beast and Mortal Kombat.

Man, I loved this game so much as a kid. I had never even heard of Hawkeye or the Vision before I played this game in the arcade. We've come a long way for Marvel characters since then.

Even though you only dabbled in Marvel, you never heard of Juggernaut at that time? He is like the number 2 villain of XMen besides Magneto.

For everyone who loves this game you should check out Avengers: United battle Force. Its an OpenBor game based on this one but with 18 playable characters all with extra special moves and much more.

Another bit of bad dialogue from the game: Villain: "You cannot escape!" Hero: "YOU will be the one escaping!"

I’m gonna start using”Why should it goes well?” in everyday conversation.

I was surprised how different Vision looked in the comics, as I knew him only by playing NES and Arcade versions of this game. But what about Juggernaut? I've been surprised to learn that this is the same Juggernaut from X-Men universe, but what about his design in this game? He's quiet small and have strange red circle visor on his helmet. I'd really like to know why he was designed that way.

This was the only ARCADE game that I actually spent enough quarters and beat the game!! Haha I've never forgotten that 😂, btw I love your reviews these are so interesting

I'm surprised that with all the 4 player games released back then, The Simpson's, the Ninja Turtles, X-Men, that they didn't take advantage of the Fantasic 4 line-up and rogues gallery. You had the Silver Surfer, Doctor Doom, Galactus, and a lesser known baddies. But the F-4 had 4 different people with 4 different powers. It just seemed that it was obvious to make a game on it.

I just thought how exciting it was that Batman '89's success was ushering in a renewed interest for more comic book merchandise.

I always played as Hawkeye. He was and still is my favorite Avenger. Loved the Bow and Arrow deal and started out as a bad guy working for the Black Widow who also started as a villain.

I remember the boss music most, when the boss was running low on health. Good times! "Okay GO!"

This game and the Konami X-Men game were my 2 favorite arcade gems of the 90's.

I love the docs u do. I've been watching everyone and played or had most of what u cover. Great job , well done informative and quality production. Thank you and keep it coming.

Another great video. I always look forward to the next video. Keep them coming, your doing great!

Just stumbled across your Superman video. I love your content and all the nostalgia. Best wishes sir!

This game was my favorite arcade game as a kid.

I finally got to play this game years ago, well after it was it first came out. It was in a arcade that had all the games set on free play, so I got to play it all the way to the end.

Man, you just keep on cranking these out. Nice work.

Another fantastic video fella. Keep them coming please. I really enjoy them.

Always look forward to your videos! Watch many of them multiple times!

Vision was disassembled in the pages of West Coast Avengers (part of John Byrne's excellent but short run on the series). When he was put back together, he had lost his color. I believe he was still pale when the video game was released.

I used to play this game on my sega genesis and Vision is my favorite. My favorite level is Target Town. I love the music

Great video!! I was a teenager this time and I was really into comics so this was right up my alley.... Thanks for the trip down memory lane.😏✌

forgot to mention the 4 player arcade machine it was a blast to play it with a group of friends

1) Vision turned white after She-Hulk broke him. His memory was deleted in the process, so his romance with Scarlet Witch fell apart. ...sad story. 2) that's not just a giant mech, that's a sentinel from the X-Men.

And yet, Hawkeye was in Sega's Spider-Man arcade game, as well as Kingpin being both in Spider-Man and Capcom's The Punisher. And Juggernaut was featured both in this game and X-Men. I guess it's only the big names going to other game developers that was the problem.

The NES version of the Captain America game is more like the first NES TMNT game where its non linear and you had an overworld map to select where you want to go and to be honest it plays way better than the arcade game, Cap's shield is up at all times and can auto deflect gunfire, he can use it to float on top of water surface, anf aside from throwing the shield, he can also perform the "charging star" move Whereas Hawkeye can spam exploding arrows for an easier but less complex gameplay style Oh and it has a VS modr where you can play as bosses too, Ultron, Crossbones, and one more that i forgot, and they are amazing to play as, Ultron is basically what Iron Man would probably play like in the game, energy blast and free flight ability

Yes! Loved this game as well! The colors and animation were just like a comic book. I never knew they had Genesis & SNES versions? I had the Gameboy version and honestly I thought it was pretty cool at the time, lol. I would love to see a true arcade version released for the modern home systems.

The Red-Skull was basically the Kingpin with a big red head. In all the Capt. America comics the Red Skull wasn't bulky and huge. Again this version was the Kingpin with the Red Skull's head.

Same here with the bosses. I was a DC kid and Red Skull was the only one I recognized (although for some reason Whirlwind looked familiar) "You won't be the one escaping!"

The worst thing about the SNES version was that the enemies had invincivility time after being hit.

Love this game bought it again 2 weeks ago for the Sega Mega Drive

Only you could find a way to fit Papa Shango into an Avengers vídeo game doc. 😄 Congrats on 1K subcribers. You deserve it. Upward and onward! 👍

Something I want to add to this. As you know, sometimes companies steal voice clips from tv shows or movies. Listen to the later part of the Disney movie, "All Dogs go to Heaven". Am I hearing similar sounds to this arcade game? Also, best music ever. OK, GO!

Nice vid! I’m going to see if I can knock this one out on the Genesis tonight.

Great video! I wonder if Capcom was inspired by Captain America's attacks because you can see those same movements in their Marvel fighting games. The shield throw and dash.

Captain America was so broken on the flying and underwater levels. Multiple shields to throw that hit multiple times. Everyone else with single shot/single hit. So outclassed.

This channel is so awesome.

Avengers Assemble! Despite its flaws, I loved playing this with my brothers. Had the Game Gear version, too, but it seemed the only move worth doing on that was the jump kick.

I remember playing with submariner. They had this at the deli down the street as a kid on long Island. They were small.but always had like 3 of the coolest arcade games out. And obscure. Also first time seeing playing neo geo and it was the 6 game one. Great memories.

Me and three friends went to a local comic shop one day and spent $38 on this game. We did beat it though :D

fantastic podcast mate, really enjoyed that, I have Captain America Arcade PCB in my Candy Cab at home, its fantastic game, only issue is you need -5 or a negatron to get the sound working (same issue with Rastan PCB), once you have that its a peach of a game.. Visited really old school arcade in Tokyo lately and they had Spiderman game, plays similar and a really good game too

I kind of preferred Vision's white look. Maybe him look like a ghost. It was a blast of a game and pretty good for the time. I wonder if the licensing ran out and it's a game that can't be re-released (a digital version for home consoles). Sadly, with licensing agreements there are games that can't be re-released.

I wanted my local multiplex (the Scotiabank Theater here in Toronto) to have this game in the arcade when the Avengers movies played here, but the management wouldn't budge.😔

Excellent game! Loved the voice.

You didn't know who these other "Jokers" were ? Pretty good man. I see what you did there.

Thank you Wonderman

(8:15) I remember playing this back when it was called "Contra." =) Guess I need to keep an eye out for the Sega Genesis version. It actually looks pretty fun.

I used to beat this game on less than $2. The trick was jumping and firing down while in the air.

I like how the Skull has a huge pile of money there lol

Reading about the ports it really does seem the Mega Drive got the best port and thankfully that's the one I own. 😊

The Avengers has been and still is my favorite side-scrolling beat em’ up.

(Giant Robot) looks suspiciously like a sentinel from x-men. At least that’s what we all referred to it as in the arcades. (“And the atrocious home ports”)

i wish DC would've let Date East do a JL game with superman, batman, WW & Flash and at the end you fight dakseid

Fun video, as usual! Just curious-what’s your source on Hulk and Thor not being available? There were no games around then featuring them so far as I know. Cool that you reached out to a SNES dev.

My brother and I used to play this all the time in sega!! As I’m going thru you playlist i just get flashbacks of my youth. Did you do one on Streets of Rage 2 yet? I’m going thru your channel, but not sure if I overlooked it.

I can see the rush for the SNES version. I had both the SNES and Genesis systems at the time. I remember getting this for the Genesis because it came out well before the SNES version. I kinda wanted it for the SNES but after watching this I guess I'm better off I got it for the Genesis.

I love this game. I play it with my 3 year old daughter. She always picks vision lol

loved this game, but boy this game could eat your quarters.

I got a lot of play time in with the arcade version. I remember being disappointed that the NES port was nothing like the arcade game.

Funny how they couldn't call Giant Robot Sentinel since X-Men were licensed to Konami.

Imagine if they re-mastered this and with a proper translation.

.. you cannot escape. YOU'LL BE THE ONE ESCAPING!!!!

There is no explanation given as to why Hawkeye was allowed to appear on both Sega’s Spider-man AND this Data East Avengers game. Also, who owned the arcade game rights to Thor and Hulk at this point in time? I don’t recall either in any other arcade games until Hulk, Captain America and Ironman were in Capcom arcade games years later.

Giant robot looks like a sential he was in other arcades games with juggernaut like the marvels versus games.

Why is sentinal called giant robot in this game?

I love the NES version. The soundtracks are few but very good. Although, it a bit too difficult for me at the time.

CAPTIAN AMERICA STILL NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!! AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!!!

"For Justice!"

I havent heard "its the only way my little channel can grow" anymore in newer videos....perhaps its time for a return with little changed to medium channel

Red Skull have the best evil laugh ever! I love this game, the best character is Iron Man for me, and the best move is ehen you do your special move jumping.

Imagine just how relevant this would be with future hindsight at 3:12. LOL

I play the arcade version before and I like it it's cool and now I will play the Sega genesis version. 😀👍🎮

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!

Papa shongo thatz a throw back

What was the issue with Thor not being in the game? The Hulk made sense since he wasn't really much of an Avenger at the time and I remember a stand alone Hulk game in the 90's but I actually thought Thor had a cameo in this game. It's been years since I played it though. I don't recall any Thor games but maybe it was never released?

I had it for genesis. Never did beat it

@PatmanQC - History of arcade game documentaries @5:05 Is that you with a missing left arm?

I would love for someone to mod this game to fix Vision's colour and add Thor, Black Panther, and maybe Scarlet Witch (but then it'd need a new "No!" and "I can't lose!" and would make "You stupid men" not fully work, but I think it'd be worth it).

Not to be frank, but what happened to your arm?

Didnt 1up release a cabinet?

This was the first ever Avengers video game.

Kung fu Master was created by irem..by the way,great vídeo!!

.....back when Captain America was a great character!!!! Those were the good old days.

Who drew that panel at 0:50? All the women have the same face.

You should cover the 1988 Superman arcade.

I burned sooo many quarters/tokens on this, superman and x men. Arcades were so good lol

Can't congratulate you on the forum, Bob (banned!), but congrats on 1k subs!

I was in the exact same boat. I loved the arcade game and the Genesis port was great, so I figured the SNES one would be better. Boy was I wrong. What a piece of excrement. It even has bugged controls, where going in diagonal directions doesn't work the way it should. Similar to the situation with Pit Fighter, the Genesis version outdoes the SNES version in almost every way.

Isn’t Giant robot just sentinel?

The mini boss robo octo is misspelled as robo taco 🤣

Isn’t the giant robot supposed to be a Sentinel?
