Sure, the new Mortal Kombat movie just came out today but I need some time to properly review it. So, Justin and I decided to put up a review today that he wanted to do for years. It's on the 1993 (prototyped in 1992) arcade game "Lucky & Wild" by Namco. L&W is a first-person racing/shooter that fits right in the buddy cop genre like Tango & Cash and Starsky and Hutch. However, it's super cartoony and over the top. Players choose to be one of two different characters: Lucky, who is always dressed in fashionable suits and does both driving and shooting; and Wild, who is a wild and crazy guy who only shoots. The object of the game is to help the two heroes capture five wanted suspects in five rounds of high-speed chases.

hi
wait...you didn't notice that lucky has 6 fingers here! 7:13
I miss arcades so much
I'd rather have a saquatch sit on my face and sh** diarrhea down my throat!
For years I thought I imagined this game. Every time I talked about it with people they thought I made it up.
^^^Exactly this^^^
This game was mine and my brother's holy grail. He encountered it once in the wild and for years after that we would look for it in every arcade we visited. Sadly we never found it and didn't get to play it. I had honestly forgot all about it and might have thought it wasn't even real until now.
That's funny, these were everywhere around here back in the day. Even the local barcade has one right now, but it's a sit-down version.
I played that game too. but I remember it quite well. exept for the exact placement on the arcade hall. I think it was near the entrance.
You did just imagine it, this video isn’t even real, and you were never here
4:56 - Whoever decided to fix this cabinet with Uzis was an absolute genius.
Those are MAC's . . . Unlike the Uzi's from the other cabinet he shows. I wonder from what game they got the MAC'S from
Uzis are a really Eighties gun, too.
Makes more sense than the pistols if you think about it.
@@kabardino1337 im pretty sure they are from operation thunderbolt
@@kabardino1337 steel gunner 2 says ebay
you can even drive into the fruit stands like in cop movies THIS GAME HAS EVERYTHING
Iy was badass played this alot
You may not know this, but there's money in the banana stand.
שלום
@@אילןדרל שלום
Which makes me wonder. Were those cops you ran over in that glitch only two days from retirement?
I DID play this game. A LOT as a kid. In fact, I was so small, my mom had to take the stearing wheel and I needed a booster seat. Stg I thought I was the only one in the world who remembered this and fondly.
So you had you mom as side kick.. cool mom :D
Ha, same here. I thought I was the only one who remembered this game.
I have a freakish memory and somehow totally forgot about this one. Definitely played it several times as a kid. So cool to see it pop up here.
I played this game once. It was at an amusement centre attached to a campground. I’ve been to dozens of arcades and can’t say that I’ve seen it anywhere else.
This is literally my story with this game! I still remember it to this day!! :D
“Lucky” - that I got a chance to play once. “ Wild” - that I never saw it ever again until now...
“And” ...- I’ve been looking for it at every arcade since.
Dropping a roll of quarters for the brothers out there who feel me...
You can find It in Kraków Arcade museum, and Play c:
In Japan they drive at the same side of UK, that’s why you have the picture with the car’s steering wheel like that
forget it. fatty aint the brightest
@Fortunato Mugnano They should've looked that up before the review.
At the far eastern side of UK
@@defmore5099 😂😂😂
cabinet is built with wheel on left...
The steering wheel on the mirror artwork is on the right side, because in Japan they follow the ''british style'' and have the steering wheel on the right side.
The game is Left Hand Drive though.
You'd think after drinking so much Rolling Rock the Nerd can be given a box of the stuff
Busch who makes Rolling Rock would never do that.
@@danerd8978
Rolling Rock gave an homage to The Nerd a few years back on Twitter. I can't quite remember how exactly.
You know that AVGN is getting older now, because he prefers wine instead of Rolling Rock Beer. 🤣😝
@@hondurashaiti1508 It goes hand in hand sometimes, people gain a cultured outlook as they get older. 🤔😊
Then in 20 years he will move on to Cognac.
I love that you guys covered this cabinet! I didn't see it often, but when I did I always gave it a play. Great review gents
I have many fond memories of playing this at Fun World in Nashua, NH. Perfect arcade game to play with a friend.
Haha same ! I still remember when they had the go karts
I'll put that on my weekend adventure list. Thank you!
You talking about fun spot?
Oh I loved going there as a kid! That place was magic!
Is it still there? I don't remember seeing it.
My local laser tag place had this when I was a kid, me and my friends had an absolute blast playing it. Absolutely tragic it hasn't gotten a home port though, I feel like it could easily be done with all the remote-type controllers we have nowadays
I feel like this is a long shot but the local laser tag place wouldn’t happen to be RONS virtual world?
I also played this at a laser tag place in... Northern California? It was such a long time ago, but I think it was up north in either Ventura or Vacaville.
or VR! i'll take 20% of the royalties for this idea, thank you very much Namco. you're welcome.
@@lduker9731 Close! Laser Quest, Richmond Hill
Honestly, what can be done with say a Switch is have the co Op of course.
But do this for single player, have one Joycon for stirring like with the old Mario Kart Wii game, and the Joycon that has the IR sensor, use that for aiming and shooting or something. That's probably the most frustrating part about all of these. The tech is there but it isn't being utilized.
I loved this game as a kid. I was about five or six and terrible at driving, so my mom would be Lucky on the wheel and I would be Wild riding shotgun. Fun times.
Your mom was cool.
This was a great older sibling or parent and child game. One of my favorite memories was my dad and me playing this many years back for the same reason. :3
@Fierysmile, Did mom shoot or did you do both?
@@alexdasliebe5391 Mom aimed, he went bang!
@@alexdasliebe5391 I had tried dual-wielding, but it didn't work out so well. I just stuck to one gun.
I’ve watched the nerd for years but now as I’m getting older I just love watching James review things
Me 2
I wish this was a nerd episode
I highly doubt he ever played this...
James, your videos make me so happy. Been watching them all for a decade and they are still making me laugh and feel that lovely feeling of nostalgia linked to the 80s and 90s. Please never stop my man!
"Wildest Arcade You've Never Pla-"
Let me stop you right there. This was at my local Chuck-E-Cheese and I probably dropped $4 worth of quarters in this thing.
Dude same! Chuck-E-Cheese in Torrance, CA.
wheels rollerskating for me!!!!
Played this at Chuck-E-Cheese as a kid as well. There’s a not well maintained Lucky & Wild at one of my local bowling alleys where great arcade games go to die.
I have definitely played this, too! I'm not entirely sure where, though. My money would be on Nathans.
What does this equal in games? Sorry can't imagine anything with 4$
This was one of my favorite arcade games in the 90s
Mom, can I have a quarter? No. So this is what I missed. Thanks guys!
Noooo! Lol great comment!
A quarter 😂 this game was 75 cents per play(in the 90s) I loved this game but could only play it when I had extra $$
Lol
Mama can I have a cookie ?
No dietbito!
@@humanblockhead5726 bahahahaha *cue cartwheel exit*. Magnificent. Have a blessed weekend.
My mother would just give a $5 bill so I could get change at the service desk and play whatever arcades they had at a given store while she went shopping. I didn't have to follow her around the store and she could shop in peace so it was a win-win. I dumped a lot of quarters into Rolling Thunder at Walmart.
Growing up in the Philippines, I got to play this game a lot, although it was only ever in one arcade that I used to frequent. Since it combined two things I was obsessed with as a kid, shooting and driving, I was pretty much hooked.
Where is it?
@@axelpatrickb.pingol3228 It was in Worlds of Fun at SM Megamall, but that was back in the late 90's. It's been long gone by now.
Played this at my local Boise arcade growing up, it is called Pojos, and it’s still going strong even in 2021.
Glad to hear it's going strong. We used to have decent large arcades in Brooklyn, NY. I miss them so much, it's been almost a decade since I set foot into a real arcade. Not counting Dave and Buster's.
Wow 😳 I actually live in the Boise area too and I'm aware of pojos but I never knew they had this arcade machine! Maybe I'll have to pop in sometime and see if it's still there
My best friend and I used to play this at Pojos too! Crazy to think that was almost twenty years ago.
This cabinet was at the downtown Portland arcade “Ground Control” right before the pandemic. It was a crazy game and I loved playing it with my kid. And Justin, where this game came from, Japan, the steering wheel is also on the right side matching the cabinet art.
I remember playing this back in the days, It was one of those games I really wanted to put my quarters into when I was a kid.
I knew this game wasn't a fever dream! No one ever believed me that it existed!
Same, bro.
I had forgotten.
I'll never forget this gem from my childhood.
Played it once, and told people about it. Everyone was like " oh GTA?"
Same.
This game is pretty badass and I play it whenever I find a cabinet of it. Unfortunately I've run into broken cabinets more often than ones that work though.
There’s no way, I was literally sitting around thinking about how much I miss this arcade machine and where it went because I haven’t seen it in so long and my local pizza place had it as out of their arcade games
Wow so was I! I didnt know the name of it so I could not look it up and then a day or two later he makes a video on it. I got goosebumps when I saw the thumbnail.
@@brok9591 dude literally my exact same situation, I was gonna look it up and didn’t know the name then I see the thumbnail with the exact cabinet a day later and I was like NO WAY
Pretty impressive that it had a reference to Fullmetal Alchemist almost ten years before Fullmetal Alchemist was a thing. ;)
it is not a reference because full metal came up later? you mean ironically that full metal was a rip off?
@Doze Apples I think so. at least the anime, the manga maybe was some time earlier
I used to play this at the bowling alley arcade in St Augustine, FL with my friend Jesse Klein ... RIP to Jesse ... as he passed away from pneumonia a few years ago
Oh and I'm sorry about your friend... That's never easy
Sorry about your friend, i bet he had a great time hanging out with you
Never did I think my nerdy life would lead me to a day where a Megas XLR and Blankman reference would be said in the same video.
This feels like a really long James Rolfe text to speech software presentation
What
I hope this randomly shows up at Dave and Buster's in my town. It looks like a blast
I dont think Dave and Buster's have retro games other than those pac man machines. Only new games
@@bebop306 i knowwww :c
This segment filled the empty part of my soul where rental reviews used to be. Loved it!
Before even watching the whole video, this is literally at my local laundromat.
That's a cool laundromat
Wish my laundromat had more games. They have a whole empty wall that only has Pac man & galaga 2 in 1 next to it. They could easily fit up to 10 more games
@@that1guy82 Mortal Kombat 2, Super Street Fighter 2, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 and X-Men: Arcade 1992!
lol. Laundromats.
Is it torn up?
There needs to be an Arcade1Up machine for this
I couldn't agree more
Yes!
I was thinking about that. Would a modder be able to hook up a cabella with an outrun cabinet running a pi with an HDMI splitter to make it work? You wouldn’t be able to shoot that way from P1 side but it’s a start, I think.
@@Heattokun It's probably feasible to use 2 Sinden Light Guns + a steering wheel to recreate the experience.
May as well include some of Namco's other games that use a steering wheel or gun while they're at it!
3:34 In Japan, cars also have their steering wheel on the right side and cars drive on the left side of the road.
This game was at my Aladdin's Castle. Loved it to death. Ended up picking one up for cheap, though naturally the controls are all messed up. Maybe one day I'll get it repaired.
Not gonna lie, Lucky & Wild would make for a perfect video game movie!
Policemen shooting all over the place has a different connotation in the US these days.
I don’t think I’ve thought about Blankman in 25 years.... wow what a reference.
Well, slap me around and call me Susan
Wasn't that on PS1 also?
@@clintwilliams3818 Blankman was a movie... Google is your friend.
David Allen Grier is a slept-on comedian.
Literally one of my favorite arcade games of all time, up there with the GI Joe shooting game, and the Point Blank games
Me and my dad played this so much of this at the cinema. Thank you for reminding me of the name ❤️
Imagine how sick a VR remake of this game would be. One player with motion controllers holding a gun and another player driving with a controller or wheel
I remember this game in arcades when my Mom would take us on family vacations haha.
I remember stumbling upon this at some random arcade with my bother.
As soon as we saw this, we HAD to play it.
Totally worth it.
Plays Japanese game. Steering wheel in the artwork is on the right like a car from England I guess. Sure.
* *coughs in Australian* *
From memory our machine was made with the wheel and guns flipped. No joke. Like an Aussie car!
@@Certifiable So basically like the original arcade cabinet from Japan I figure....
4:05 and on the lift side on the cabinet on the picture the steering wheel is on the left...
The license plate for Lucky & Wild looks like it spells LAW, which is either super clever of Namco or an incredible coincidence.
EDIT: Lol exactly 3 seconds after typing this James addresses it in the video. I'll see myself out.
Justin pronouncing the G in "Murtaugh" is adorable. And I'm sure Jon Polito is resting happily knowing that his work in Blankman hasn't been forgotten.
I played this about 4 years ago at an arcade at Southend in the UK. I was born after the arcade era of games so I guess finding it was pretty...lucky 😏
Dude, that's wild
@@statutorymetal6253 dude And it's Lucky!
I like how Tony is just staring off into the corner.
He’s standing there menacingly
Imagine if they made a 1up of this
I'd buy it. Where was this when I was a kid?
OneUp is disappointing to me. Too small and cheap.
Why does the producer think they need to be an on camera personality ... I wish James would find a team that would stay in their lane
Thank you guys for this review it's always a joy to see Justin and Tony.
One of the few arcade games my dad would love to play with me
I remember playing this as a kid, such a fun game and definitely a unique concept.
Played this with an ex and had an amazing time at the local Arcade. I'd love to see more arcade reviews like Ed Boon's 6-player game 'The Grid' or Namco's 'Rapid River'.
I love the grid!
I would love to see more arcade reviews like this. There's so many arcade games that nobody has heard off
TNT Amusements is awesome, I got lucky enough to visit once, & met the owner Todd, it's one of the best collections of retro games I've ever seen.
Underrated gem 🤩
I LOVED this game. I played it so much at a arcade called exhilarama. That place was awesome as a kid.
Exhilirama was as close to nirvana as a kid could get.
I was literally just looking into one of these. An old coworker of mine had this thing, but I didnt have the space for it... kicking myself over that
I played this way back in 97 I believe, what a fun game and every time I played it, I used both guns.
At my local Aladdin's Castle, we played this by paying for just 1 player, and having 2 people play, one drives and one shoots, or in 2p we'd have 3 players.
I put so many tokens in this at Fisherman’s Wharf.
...you had me at “catgirls.”
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Starsky and Hutch on PS2 was like this. It was a lot of fun. But there was just one gun.
I played this as a young child in an arcade, but could never think of the name. What a cool game!
My brothers used to love this game when a local restaurant had a machine until they swapped it out with a less exciting driving game. I also saw one at an arcade in Southport in the UK and snapped a couple of photos back in 2006.
Lucky: "Always dressed in fashionable suits. The best driver on the force"
Wild: "A tough guy with a heart of gold. Wild is an excellent shot"
I remember playing this at Chuck E Cheese in the early-mid 90s, better times
Literally any time would be better than this.
Sadly, I agree.
@Final Boss 64 they still are, they're just sneakier now. Look at Epstein.
Glad you are giving this arcade machine the recognition it deserves. It stood out, combined two popular genres in the arcades, and co-op! A homage to the popular action movies in it's era. It's also one of those arcade machines that you would want to own.
I actually remember seeing this in arcades when i was a kid, but we were so broke we just pretended to play whenever the machine was vacant.
I never heard of this classic arcade shooter game before. Thanks for sharing.
My buddy worked at a movie theater in las Vegas NV and they had this game. They also stored the excess tokens behind the game. So when the theater would close we would play it late into the night! Thanks for bringing back a great memory
Thank you for reminding of this! I used to love it as a kid. Crazy taxi was number on for me, but this I used to play with my dad on summer evenings in a resort town. Golden memories...
Gotta admit that wine vendor sounds fun.
More arcade machine reviews like this would be sick to have honestly
The art in this game is incredible
I played it ONCE in an arcade room when i was a kid and never saw that game ever again.
And i remember loving that one time.
Lucky & Wild, fun for the whole family, mom and dad can shoot while little Bimmy steers!
Reminds me of one of my all time favorite arcade games Chase HQ... Only waaaay more awesome!! Wish I saw it somewhere
I love that Justin has the Steven Segal energy drink there haha.
He has a massive Segal collecion right.
This game bops. Driving with one hand and shooting with the other is indescribably satisfying.
I LOVED this game! Whenever I was on vacation in the Outer Banks, there was an arcade that had this,and it was always the one all my quarters went into. My favorite part was always the guys' commentary and reactions to everything. I beat it... once, probably after 10 years of playing. Wanna play it again now!
The Cat girls might be reference to "Gun smith cats?"
This looks amazingly awesome!!! I'd love to see a release for VR
I’m a simple man.
I see racing arcade games.
I click.
It's a shooter tho. You drive on a set track
There was a Lucky & Wild cabinet at my local arcade when I was growing up. Unfortunately, that place closed down years ago but I have a lot of fun memories playing that game when I was a kid.
They had this machine at showcase cinema in Milford Connecticut when I was a kid, I’ve been trying to remember the name of this game for about 25 years
Hmm.. are you sure it wasnt at the Milford Amusement Center? I remember it there but not at the movie theater.
Love cinemassacre!
E 2.0
E 3.0
E 4.0
The cineplex by my house had this, I remember playing it with 3 dudes while waiting to see “2012” because someone was hogging house of the dead
This is the most 90s game I've ever seen.
Love this video! Hope you do more of these type of videos. Informational and seeing the way you guys interact together is great, love your guy's passion.
Thank you for reminding me of, the rare benefit I got in getting to play this game while it was at an Arcade/Lazer Tag near Rivergate Mall north of Nashville years ago~
"This game that came out seven years before FMA has Greed in it~!"
"This overly generic and still different line of text is a reference to a movie the author says he's never seen."
I'm amazed how much is made up in this video... with the narrator not trying to hide that he's just sharing his head canon about the game like its facts.
This has to be the nerdiest group of friends ever
Perhaps overlords and Nerd?
I can remember playing this with my friend, it was alot of fun, did you hear that Arcade 1up?
This game was at my local skating rink and I spent tons of quarters playing this. Completely forgot about it until you guys revived the memories!!
I grew up with this game, with my dad driving and my mom and I shooting. I still think its a neat game.
in Japan, the steering wheel is on the right side just like in the UK.
In mother Russia, you don't steer car, car steer you
Cat Girls,a Bottel of wine and Arcarde games? I'm in ! Let's get Lucky and Wild ^(*w*)^
NOICE!
Creep.
I remember playing this with my dad at the mall arcade when I was really really young. He drove and let me shoot both guns. I always had that memory but I couldn't remember what the game was called. Thanks guys!
Anytime I see this at an arcade I have to play it. I loved this thing. Closest thing we ever got to it on a home console was, ironically, the Starsky and Hutch game on PS2, Gamecube, and original Xbox.
