วีดีโอ

Thank you very much! A strange, but enjoyable game!

Once again, thank you for watching, and thank you for the exposure! Love this game more and more as I try to get better at it! The play mechanics (initially) the seem so direct and unforgiving but the fun in this game comes from understanding and learning how to play properly. Super cool game. Maybe one day I'll finish all the stages !

Perhaps a similar idea, but I'd say Super Sprint is a lot more "analogue" where this game features a way more digital / direct control. It would be interesting if this game (as it is) could be played on a 360 degree steering wheel! Thanks for watching!

Yea a really good game! Perhaps underated, if you ask me. There were so many "higher budget" games out around that time (like SEGA Rally, Daytona, etc) which may have overshadowed this title (as a racing game)... It holds up well today as a totally playable classic...

Really loving the challenge that this game brings. I didn't have the opportunity to get good at this game (when it was released) but now I'm really appreciating the game for what it is... featuring a clean, simple yet hard to master control system! Definitely playing this more !

Glad to hear it! One of the games that I really enjoyed back in the day, and these days too! Do you play this game still these days, or is it more of a memory from the 80s?

YES SIR 🍀 I STILL PLAY THEM ON THE ARCADE MACHINE, BUT AM LEARNING TO PLAY THEM ON EMULATOR ALSO LOL. I LOVE RALLY-X, BURNING WHEELS AND THESE KIND OF GAMES. I WANT TO POST MORE OF MY GAME PLAYS WHEN I GET TO IT. I LOVE WATCHING YOUR GAMES AND HEARING YOU BROTHER 😊 GOOD LUCK! 🤦🏼🤍🍀💐✍🏼

@@imranpradhan718 Good luck! Thanks for watching!

The English in the game is just amazing though... just what we'd expect (and I absolutely love it!). As you've correctly noted, there are no real (proper) instructions in-game on how the ranking / qualifying works... We place our hope on your next trial... literally... 😂

Yea F1 is pretty big here (even though we no longer host the F1) - but we DO have an F1 cerified track which was used until around the 80's I think). This is such a fun game though, but don't play enough of it...

Thank you - it's super fun to play, and has surprisingly realistic qualifying leaderboard. What's nice about this game too, is that it doesn't just immediately "game over" if you don't make it to the top 3 in the first race, and demand more coins to continue - it actually gives you a change (within top 6 in the F3000 qualifiers). Very fair. Thanks Capcom !

I'm not 100% sure but I guess you are referring to my terrible use of a hard drive magnet to demagnetise my CRT ? Thanks (I think?). Thanks for the comment.

@@arcadesunday4592 buen método, funciono jajaja

Ah, you said you use a drill to demagnitize. Thanks for the tip! This method using a magnet has only been partially successful, so I'm going to research your method. Thanks !

Hopefully it was enjoyable content (haha!). Thanks for watching!

Ah, tell me about it 😒! It's just so unnecessarily difficult! That bridge level on stage 2... I mean, seriously? How are you supposed to remember which parts of the bridge will keep you up and which parts will let you fall! Overall, it's too hard... Don't get me wrong, I love a challenge, but this game! Another level of devious difficulty... almost like Capcom did it on purpose just to keep the series known for "the most difficult arcade game ever". Regardless, I'm going to give this one a few more tries...

@@arcadesunday4592 you got to the second level!!??

@TeamPandory yes I did... not on camera though... that's a subject for another video... haha! Coming soon! (Well, maybe "3 years since"?)...

Thanks for the comment. I always appreciate viewer feedback.

Absolutely agree with your description of the "second wave" and the modern... "DoDonpachi" (should we say "Danmaku" style shoot-em-up...). Personally, I enjoy the modern very much, but will always go back to my roots, and play the classics to fill my soul. I so often encourage the younger generation to (at least) try these older games in the hope that they may appreciate them the way the older generation did.

@@arcadesunday4592 I misjudged the interest in retro for younger generations. I thought there would be a smaller interest, but it's growing. It makes sense to me now, since older type games are not made today. Those that are made have a different feel, look, and sound. I was interested in comics as a kid and started getting into looking for older comics for the history, look, and style of writing. Younger kids' interest in retro games really lines up with my experience with comics. I think some kids will build large retro libraries, but I think most dabble with emulation. Anyways, have you ever played Xevious 3D?

@WhatsOnMyShelf Yea, 100% about the younger generation. I've experienced this first hand (to varying degrees) with my own kids, their friends, my nephews, etc. I still believe there is a massive part of that original experience which has been lost forever (which they will never experience) such as competitive play against total strangers, smoke filled arcades (well that's a good one I guess!) and the feeling of playing such an amazing game which could not be played at home... that strong pull to the Arcades, which nowadays is totally negated by consoles, PCs and even mobile phones! Oh, Xevious 3D... Never played it but did just watch a quick video or two. Looks good I guess... Theme is well captured... Not sure if I'd take it seriously though? I'd have to try play it a bit myself... although I can almost certainly say (before playing) that the original is better...

@@arcadesunday4592 They have some unique unlockable ships in Xevious 3D. There are things that can't be replicated. It's funny that you mention the smoke-filled arcades. That wasn't a thing where I grew up, but last month I was locking my bike to a rack when I smelled a familiar scent. It was something I couldn't recognize immediately, so it had a bit of nostalgic pull, though I wasn't in love with it. I realized there was a lady on a smoke break and she had some old-school cigarette that I hadn't smelled since I was sat in the non-smoking section of a restaurant of the 90s (like the distance made any difference). I know there are places people can go where smoking is more common, but it is nearly non-existent in my day- to-day. The bans are everywhere and people's habits have changed. I was never a smoker, so I have no idea the brand that lady was smoking, but it was definitely a trip back.

@@WhatsOnMyShelf ah, yea that "cigarette smell"... which got stuck in your clothes, and hair; which one's parents would LOVE to comment on, and why the Arcades were bad places to hang out...haha! Probably got lung damage just from frequenting the Arcades back then (mid 80's)... Definitely don't see as many people smoking these days... a strange time back then.

Thanks! Fun, slow game for a change!

Thank you!

I have no doubt that this was released on the Speccy back in the day! I did not see this game very often (in the Arcades I frequented) as it was quite old (as far as Arcade games go!) so by the time I'd stared my Arcade "career" proper, the cabinets had all been swapped out for new, shiny games... Such a relaxing game to play.

Thanks ! There is another game from this time period that looks very similar to this, and it's called "Kick Rider". I will probably roll out a video one day showing that off, but this game was the original (from what I remember!) Cheers for now!

Thank you ! Great dodging indeed! This game really get's harder and harder as you get further. Thanks for watching!

Super unique game, this... At first play it seems pretty straightforward, but as you start understanding the scoring mechanic / multiplyer, it gets VERY interesting!

Ah what a fantastic game (once you know what you're supposed to do!!) I never saw this in my Arcades back in the day, but thankfully was introduced to it by John (John's Arcade) some years ago. Thanks for stopping by !

Ah yea, Xevious will always be a "part of me". This game had a really big impact on me, so will always remain as one of my favorites (even though I suck at it!)

Haha! Very tough to get that 1M point jump, but well done!

Oh yea? I'll have to have a look at that ! Thanks for the tip! There was another Arcade game called Silkworm which isn't anything like this (at all) but will check out your suggestion. Thanks!

@@arcadesunday4592 i have a game or two posted it is very nice you would like it!

Haha! Good observation! Yea this game is HARDER than Ghosts 'n Gobins (IMO) but it was one I didn't play thst much (back then) as they were very scarcely distributed (where I live). That rope bridge on stage two though... ridiculous difficulty. Thanks for watching!

Ah, yea absolutely ! Double Dragon was such a cornerstone of collaborative gaming back in the day! Thanks for watching, and hopefully you recalled some fond memories from the past!

Thank you for your support! Nice to see you back again!

THANK YOU MORE BROTHER . 🌹🍀🤍✍🏼

Glad to hear it, and good luck with your build ! Awesome ! This video may not be what you think it is bu the title, but watch anyway! Thank you for stopping by! Cheers !

@@arcadesunday4592 Thoroughly enjoyed the vids thanks mate! 🤟 I'd love to have a collection of cabs like yourself but unfortunately I only have the room for 1 so I'm glad to see some of the multi game emulators are pretty much on par with the originals as they're ideal for getting the most out of my little cab.

Ah yea, multiple games on a single cabinet makes the most sense. Again, good luck with your cabinet, and if you have any videos be sure to post your channel information here! Always good to expand the community! Thanks for checking out Arcade Sunday, and I hope to see you again. Cheers!

Thank you! Hope it's OK after all the hype!

@@arcadesunday4592 YES SIR BROTHER! THANK YOU! MUCH LOVE! GOOD LUCK 🍀🙏🏼😘🤍🌹✍🏼

Hopefully the video lives up to the hype... haha!

Thank you! Well, I guess I could have played a *little* better, but there's always room for improvement... Such a solid Sega classic!

Thank you very much for that ! Appreciate it! I'm very happy that I could help keep the dream alive !

Absolutely ! Glad to have recorded this (long overdue!) Shinobi coverage - Thanks for watching!

Thanks, but really "mistakes were made" haha! Shinobi will always be in my top 100... Cheers !

Haha! Hate it when ninjas creep up on me like that ! How rude! Thanks for the encouragement!

Thank you ! I just wish I hadn't have lost two lives IN A ROW on the second stage, but ah well! I had fun doing it ! Cheers !

@@arcadesunday4592 CHEERS! 🥂🌹🤍✍🏼

Thank you. I LOVE the Arcade version - it's got so much presence and character. That being said though, the Mega Drive version is pretty good. A lot of SEGA arcade games were very well ported to that system, IMO - even SEGA's Outrun! Our country was a little late to get PAL Mega Drive, and the game choices were not that good. We ended up playing a lot of pirated games due to lack of official supply chains. Eventually the piracy ring was (mostly) taken down, but by then Mega Drive was getting old... Playstation One came out and destroyed every home console over a few months. Mega Drive is a great system though! Cheers !

Thank you ! I'm try to polish up my channel a little... I really appreciate the positive feedback!

Thank you! I've been meaning to polish up my channel for MONTHS now, so today was the day ! Thanks for your ongoing support! Cheers for now.

Thanks for watching ! Thought I'd update my channel intro video... It was about time !

@@arcadesunday4592 a good intro!

Thanks ! Appreciate it !

Haha ! Yea, I'm South African... Thank for watching !

Thanks! I LOVE Raiden! Just wish I could get better at the second boss...

Absolutely. I will always credit the developers of these classic games as wizzards (or super human). Can you imagine coding this game (or any of these 80's/ 90's classics) in Assembly (raw machine code). Absolutely RIDICULOUS what these people achieved with so little hardware resources. Amazing.

Haha! I was actually referring to the "POW" items (which I pick up to transform the on-screen enemies into tomatoes) POW appears just before ~ @8:34. Sorry for the confusion ! :-)

Yip, a really good playing and good sounding game, with a unique graphical style. Really stood out (IMO) back then as something different. I guess this is true for most Tecmo games. Thanks for watching, and hope you give this game another go some time! Cheers!

Thank you! Definitely fun to play, and super unique. The game has "something" to it that really stands out. Cheers!

Ah, that's a really interesting aspect / play mechanic. I'll have to investigate this a little further. Yea, it's been some time... but the gsme is still fun to play! Thanks for the tip!

Thank you ! I'll try play a bit better next time! Haha!

@@arcadesunday4592 BEST OF LUCK 🍀🤍💐
