That was such a well done video. You've always had a talent for presentation and the effort is always appreciated. Thanks again for the history lesson Dr. Dan🙂
Hi Dan. I haven't seen a video from you in a while so I thought maybe you weren't on TH-cam anymore. Good to see you're still here. When I was a kid my mom and dad used to frequent a restaurant every weekend and I would get a babysitter. When they determined I was old enough, they took me along. That was when I saw my first Space Invaders cocktail machine. My mom and dad were drinking and socializing at the bar and I had a quarter in my pocket so I sat down, put the quarter in and started playing. When I got a "game over" I immediately went over to the bar to ask my mom and dad for more quarters. They were happy to oblige because that got me out of their hair so they could socialize some more. I played Space Invaders for hours that night. That was my first experience with Space Invaders and I just wanted to share that with everyone.
Oh dude that’s an amazing story. What a memory to have and to be able to love and appreciate such an iconic game. Seriously one of the most simple concepts done so well!
There are so many that spawned from humble beginnings, and I’d have to agree with your list absolutely. Anything Toaplan is special, but yeah, thunderforce! I totally forgot about that…I’ll have to see if I have that on my pandora! Thanks Bones!
Although im not really a huge fan of your standard shmup genre there are a few of them i really enjoy. Gradius is definitely one of them. And i definitely never realized the impact they had on the video game world. Makes you appreciate them a little more.
Lmao yes I did. And what's funny is that one of my buddies growing ups dad looks exactly like that guy you used for me. Moustache and hair and everything.
Dan, what a great video. Such a great history of the shoot'em ups. You hit the nail on the head with the Robotron comment. It is the greatest SHUMP ever!
Yes!!!! That's when i was a fly, jive talkin cat. I was a lot taller then.😂 Shout out to Buck Rogers, I had a crush on Pamela Hensley back then. Great job on this Dan. 👍

Lol my pleasure brother…thanks for the encouragement
What a fun video!
Lol thanks bro

That was an awesome video!!!!!
Hahaha great is being insanely generous; but it was a bunt single if anything. I need to work myself back in to the editing process…but thank you!
Thunderforce is the series to which I measure all shmups. Darius is 2nd as my favorite series. 3rd is basically anything Toaplan.

1:10 1978 hahaha!! Awesome do there! Great video, love it!
Hahaha always love the comments. Sorry my last message made no sense because I thought it was on a different video. But thank you for watching!
"Who is your daddy and what does he do?" lmao I love shmups. Gigawing, Truxton, 1942, Zerowing, any Aleste game inlusding Musha, etc.
Musha is stupid good. Favorite game on the Genesis…maybe. Actually, there’s too many. But thanks for watching bro.
Educational and entertaining. Thank you for making this video !
Hahaha my pleasure brother! It was super fun to make. Got another one swirling around in my mind that is similar in historical scope

Thanks for the walk down memory lane... Galaga is my top also! So glad to see that you are back:)
Oh my gosh thank you so much for even saying that!

Lmao yes I did. And what's funny is that one of my buddies growing ups dad looks exactly like that guy you used for me. Moustache and hair and everything.
