How do you typically play arcade games? MAME? MiSTer? Real arcade boards? A mix of all of that?
Full size Tron standup arcade cabinet running Mame. Love it.
MAME for sure, but I also bought few model 2 arcade games on PSN, it's a shame you can only play Motor Raid in Judgment.
Please do a hidden gem for Lightgun games
There’s bug princess 2 and is hard yet fun and I keep coming back to play it again on mame
Own some candy cabs and try to buy original pcbs when possible. Shame the pandemic made the cost skyrocket :(
Here's 15 games you should definitely check out:
*Asura Buster: Eternal Warriors
*Battle Bakraid
*Biomechanical Toy
*Boogie Wings
*Crack Down
*Dyna Gear
*Gaiapolis
*Guardians
*Heavy Smash
*J.J. Squawkers
*Monster Maulers
*Neo Drift Out
*Night Striker
*Space Bomber
*The First Funky Fighter
@@randalgelking7329 not exactly unknown are they lol 🤠
Thats a great list. Nice addition to my collection, thanks man!
Dude, MAME is what gaming is all about IMO. Reliving those arcade days as a kid. The feeling you had when you first walked into an arcade with $5 in your pocket.
I try to relive what I didn't know.
The only arcade games I noticed here as cabinets back than early was sega rally and later some daytona. That was it. Very thing knew to me.
$5 in some arcades on special event days would get you double tokens 😎
The MiSTer crowd are too picky 🤣
There was an arcade at my local mall when I was a kid called, Tilt, that was always packed! Sad to see it dwindle out and then go out of business. Glad we can still emulate these games. Built a bartop just to get the old experience 🙌🏻
My local mall also had a tilt in it.
I miss the Tilt. Ours had a full size Virtua Cop (so so awesome) and full size Virtual On vs cabinets. The fully moving After Burner and even that crazy Sega holographic game. Good times.
@@tsunamirider9895 Ahhhhh Sega’s Time Traveler!! Loved that game! I thought it was the greatest thing ever at a random truck stop.
Playing these old arcade games once in a while is so therapeutic 😊😊😊
Great to mix old school and new, makes you appreciate what you had bitd and have now to enjoy too 👍
Air gallet is pronounced garret because in japanese L's are pronounced as R's thats why GODZILLA is said GOJIRA , its just a linguistic thing
Although GODZILLA was kinda reverse engineered for western audiences, its actually Gojira
But “Gallet” itself is supposed to be a portmanteau of “gun” and “ballet.” In other words, a ballet of guns taking place in the air.
So it actually should be pronounced with the hard L’s, but I what presume happened is the voice actress (or whoever directed her) didn’t know about the portmanteau origins of the word and then assumed a Japanese pronunciation with the soft L’s, maybe because the title was even just written in katakana on her script.
It’s kind of like how GIF should be pronounced with a soft G because the creator meant for it to sound like JIF peanut butter (for a play on the slogan “choosy mothers/developers choose JIF/GIF”), but since nobody knew the origins, most assumed the more sensible, yet incorrect, pronunciation.
That was an AWESOME video! Never heard about any of those games! Can't wait for the next video and hopping for this to become a series! Thanks, bro!
i wouldnt mind more of these videos, MAME has a HUMONGOUS library and it'd be nice to know all the best ones to nab immediately.
Have a look at some stream videos from mamehaze (a mame developer). He covered 100's of hidden gems.
Love your hidden gem series... I always refer back to them when I jump back into a platform that I haven't played in awhile. 👍
Quartet hell yes! Loved this game and especially its music blasting in the arcade back in the 80s.
Me too. It’s was very unique and a blast to play. When I got my emulator it was one of the first I looked for
@@tokenblack7983 it's on an Ages JPN PS2 release also by M2
Great video. These all look fun and I'm definitely adding many of them into my backlog. Got so many games on my modded Arcade1Up that you never know all of the cool games you can play.
More like this please! Life is so busy, quick arcade games hit the spot for that gaming itch for sure!!!
Love this series of videos!!! There are so many great games out there that are not well known and if they are, it is good to get a reminder. Sometimes they are games that didn’t grab you the first time and you need to go back. I find this particularly with shmups where you need to get powered up enough to enjoy them. I found this with Truxton where I heard so much about it so I had to go back. I just got battered the first time. The difficulty is part of the appeal and you have to learn the patterns. Out of this lot, I really like Air Gallet and the Japanese art style. I will check out Rohga Armour as I don’t think I spent long enough on that one. I love that feeling when you discover a new favourite game so this really is a great series, thanks!!
we need a new Quartet
We need the MJR crew back together 👍🏻
Yeah what we need as a whole MJR crew to get together in like have a slumber party and video their events there highlights together watch that like 1,000 times share it share the crap out of it
Hey its john Riggs yeah do you get a message when Jason releases a video
@@seanthegamer1337 If you click the bell icon, you will, too!
I hate the color pallet used on this game. Looks like all those ‘cutsie’ bubblegum Japanime games that I loathe with the garish colors
Great video! Please do some more of these, Jamma surely deserves more love!
Metamorphic Force is an absolute gem, I found this game about 15 years ago and it has been a family favourite ever since. So glad other people will find it thanks to your video. Keep up the great work, love the hidden gem videos!
Escape from the PLanet of the Robot Monsters is such a great game! A truly hidden classic.
I used to play it every time I saw it in the arcades. Such a hilarious classic!
@@GregsGameRoom Same. Although I only saw it at my local mall, but pumped quarters into it nonetheless.
I believe Ganryu was getting an official sequel on the Switch and on Steam. Look out for it, Ganryu 2. :)
I'm very excited to play gayryui
They're missing an opportunity to not call it Ganrytwo!
So well said, the reason I fell back in love with my Dreamcast was because as a father of 2 I only get 15-30mins to play at a time usually and I want to turn on my system be playing immediately and never stop until it’s time to turn off the machine. All these new games are just to much of a commitment, I remember when single player games where like 20-30 hours MAX and shooters were like 6-8 hours first time, anyway I’m a grandpa at heart so …
Sega was distilled Arcade action at its most finest 👍
When I was younger, it was common to go Arcade Game Halls after school. Dragon Lair, Star Wars, Pac-Man, Missile Command, Space Invaders, Centipede,.. and those great ones.. I love those times..
Great list. Outfoxxies was an interesting game when I discovered it on MAME many years ago. Really well done. Its probably the first Smash Bros. style game I played. Maybe it is the first.
Blood Bros is very reminiscent of Cabal but it also has lots of Wild Guns vibes. Great games, all of them!
Wild Guns is AMAZING, love playing on my SNES
Perfect timing for me this video as I've been sorting my MAME library out in launchbox recently
Really cool list, The Outfoxies looks like the basis for Duck Game nowadays. Very similar gameplay but the level destruction in Outfoxies looks amazing.
started making videos on youtube with METAMORPHIC FORCE in 2008 cause I couldn't find a review back then... after 5 years at Channel Awesome & 10 years on my own French channel, I'm still making a living playing games ^^
Thanks for this. The only AAA gaming I do anymore is on steam. Most of the time I'm on my raspberry pie or one of my emulator handhelds. When you or other people i sub to showcase old school games I write down the ones I think I will like and then find them on one of my emulator devices. It's Sunday morning I think I now have a reason to get up and start the day. You're my savior lol
MetalJesus: “Air Gallet”
Game: “Air Garret”
Me: “Air Gal-lay”
Love these videos MJR. I play my arcade so much and my kids really like it too especially my 8 year old. We literally just finished Cabal last week so we can now check out Blood Bros. Keep the recommendations coming. Every time its more games added to the favorites list.
Knights Of Valour (IGS)
Martial Masters (IGS)
Night Slashers (Data East)
Vendetta (Konami)
A really fun hidden gem I find no one talks about is Sega's Alien Syndrome. Similar in concept to the Escape from the planet of the robot monsters, but not isometric. A lot of fun to play, and pretty challenging.
That's really well known.
@@fandangobrandango7864 ... Seems hidden gems lost their meaning on this channel agreed 🤠👍
Great video!! Some of my favorite arcade hidden gems are TH Strikes Back, Monster Maulers, Gundhara, Desert Assault, and Golly Ghost
Thanks for the recommendations.... I just added these new arcade game to my ROM collection... Awesome video.
Love your videos! Keep em coming!
My favorite games are the classic Arcade titles and anything similar, and as you said, there's hundreds if not thousands more!! LoL
glad you did Moon Patrol homage at 0:20
Great video! I liked when you did some reviews on old PC’s and 90s Pc games, I’d love to see some more on that or even PC games from the 2000s
Yesss! Do more of these videos, so awesome, Ganryu 2 is coming out soon after so long!
You are putting your heart and soul in your videos, thank you.
Not sure how many quarters my 3 buddies and I spent on the Quartet machine playing together dude! It was freaking fun! Love and blessings from Ontario Canada!
More please. Loved the crusader no remorse reference!
Ganryu was so good, I played it a lot on the NEO-GEO emulator. One hidden gem beat em up for the mame is Cadillac and Dinosaurs, it should be in every Capcom Beat Em Up collection with The punisher but they're just doing these games dirty.
Unfortunately licensing issues with Cadillacs... it was based on a comic series afaicr... but agree it would be great to see it on a Capcom compilation 🤠
Great episode! I need to build a mame cabinet some day. Just need to find room for it! The list of games I want to play just grow and grow after your videos, so that makes we want a machine more and more! :)
Probably should just start with building a computer and prepare it and get some controllers and such. :)
Your the only TH-camr I look forward to each week. Thank you for another upload!
Wow, thanks!
Hey Metal Jesus Rocks so happy to see t. I needed this right now!!😃😄😆
Just got a new retro system console for Christmas and I am seriously overwhelmed by the MAME and Final Burn Alpha categories. Need as many of these arcade hidden gems videos as you can make! haha!
Brute Force!
beatemup with a dedicated dive button. 8way action and more guns than most. Fighting through a movie theater, walking through a junkyard and having a punk rocker throw grenades at you standing at the top of a giant mound of dirt!
Well i like how quickly you go threw these games, i can get some decent picks this way, you guys are knocking it out of the park
Great video! Would love to see you cover CrossBow or Who Dunit… very strange and obscure light gun games by Exidy. I even have some footage of me as a small child playing CrossBow in an arcade sometime around 1988 if you’d like to use it
Quartet! I played that game at a wunderland in Portland oregon 30+ years ago and have been trying to remember the game. Totally forgot about this one. 🙏 thank you
This is great. Just added these to my favorites list on my MAME Cabinet!
Thanks for this video. Recently built an arcade machine, and have to check these games out.
These games all look awesome, and I’ve only heard of one of these before. Can’t wait to check them out!
You are underrated. You've really enhanced people's retro collecting.
I didnt know that Blood Bros isnt that well known. Stone cold classic much beloved around my parts as a kid.
Respect on calling out Outfoxies, absolutely fantastic game that doesnt get enough love.
Great upload as per. Got an emu to fire up now! Keep on keeping on oh brother of the microchip and the sprite
Metal Jesus, your intro is spot on.... I recently picked up Mass Effect 3 for the Wii U... I don't even remember playing the actual game..
I spent loads of my pocket money on cabal in the late 80's and loved it. I've never heard of blood bros. I'm definitely giving that a go on my cab today. Thanks MJ
Metal Jesus your comment on modern games in the beginning is on point and this is what I love being a retro gamer. I would love to see more games from the 32-bit super scaler series. These games were fun and still look great today.
A home console version of Rhoga was released in Japan as Wolf Fang on Saturn and PS1. Really fun.
I've had wolf fang on my ps3 wishlist for a while didn't know it was Rohga, which I have on the iircade. Gonna have to get WF now.
Whatsup MetalJesus!!
The Outfoxies looks weirdly modern in many ways. Like a modern retro game.
Nintendo had to have taken notes from outfoxies no doubt, looks just like smash to me
I've been wanting to play some pick up and play arcade games recently. Thanks for the recommendations, MJR.
Dead Angle(1988) was my favorite in the "lane shooter" genre. I always loved these games. Wild Guns on the SNES, or NAM '75 on the Neo Geo.
I didn’t know about any of these. Solid list!
U need your own show. Love everything u produce. For real I'm sure I'm not alone on this
Great vid, can't wait to start to build a top 10 of every console/inc hand held/arcade and PC for the the steam deck, these vids will help curate a great list of unusual but fantastic games that will just work, that's the dream anyway.
3:18 Blood Bros, reminds me of Nam1975 on the NeoGeo :)
I never stop watching your videos
Thank you so much forr these!!!!!
I have MAME set up on my main computer and a dedicated arcade computer, so I'll have to look these up. I tell you though, there is a game out there I remember playing at an arcade that had been in a mall that had opened up just inside of Ashland KY around 1990. I got the chance to visit a couple of times before moving to Columbus OH in 1991 (I was living in Russell KY at the time). It was a top-down helicopter shoot 'em up, completely forget the name but what I distinctly remember was, when you got to a boss battle the music would immediately switch to a heavy metal song that, for the life of me, reminded me of Japanese 80s metal group Loudness.
I dearly wish I could remember the name of the game; maybe I'll just have to play through all the helicopter shooters from that period on MAME :)
I had Escpae from the Planet of the Robot Monsters, on my Amiga 500, I used to play it a lot. Great to see it here.
Except the first one, which is really cool, i didn't know the others yet. Thanks for the showcasing!
I had a friend over recently and we stumbled across Rohga: Armor Force. I'm a big fan of sidescrolling mech games like Metal Warriors and Cybernator, and this is basically a straightforward action version of those classics. Lots of fun in 2P co-op too!
Omg Blood Brothers is one of my fav arcade games of all times along with Cadillac and Dinosaurs and Metal Slug
Friday morning with a cup of coffee and a new MJR video...things could be worse!
Of all these obscurities the only one I saw in mags was Metamorphic Force. I think there was a Quartet on the Master System. Good reviews and cool video MJR! 👍
@@randalgelking7329 oh I think I saw it for sale in mags back in the day.
Air Gallet really reminds me of the Twin Cobra arcade game from Taito.
More of these please. Good video
I forgot all about blood Bros but i use to play that all the time in the arcade. I also really liked to play Bomberman World Tour in the arcade. It's my favorite Bomberman title. It was always so much fun to see how far you could get with one quarter!
Love the video. You really should check out the iircade. They have a huge selection of arcade shooters on their cabs with more to come
You should do multiple Mame Hidden Gems on different Genres. Like: Shmups, Brawler's, Fighting, Light Gun, Driving and Platforms.
Quartet was a lot of fun on the ZX Spectrum.
A great game.
Blood Bros is an absolute classic - I played the hell out of that game in the local arcade when I was a teenager. As for some other MAME recommendations:
- The Crystal of Kings
- Big Run
- Thunder Force AC
- Osman
- Gussun Oyoyo
- Hard Times
- AB Cop
- Gunlock / Rayforce / Galactic Attack / Layer Section (whatever it's called in your region)
- Viper Phase 1
- Princess Clara Daisakusen
Smash TV was fantastic. I have that one on an old two player arcade cabinet with a pi 4 but I had to rejigger the controllers as it required both joysticks for a single player game, one to move and the other to shoot. Great stuff!
How did I not know about The Outfoxies! Thank you!
Amazing keep them coming
Good timing on Ganryu! There's actually a sequel for it due out on PS4/Xbox/Switch/PC next month.
Thank you! Having a blast playing arcades on my PS4 and Xbox 360! Ganryu 2 is coming out very soon! April 22, 2022. When you are in Chicago, Illinois, go to the amazing Galloping Ghost Arcade.
I seriously have to thank you for this video... I remember as a kid seeing a game ONCE, thought it looked pretty cool, and never saw it again. I even tried searching for it based on the blurry memory of what I saw, but the best I could come up with was "isometric arcade game in space"... yeah, good luck finding a match with that. Seeing the video of the Robots from Space game, it absolutely has to be the one, so thanks for saving a tiny fragment of my sanity :P now if you'll excuse me, I think I'll treat myself to a raspberry pie to celebrate...
Thank you so much for this
Great video. Metamorphic Force is awesome cause you can have up to 4 players. Has an Altered Beast vibe too. Blood Bros looks good. Kinda looks like Wild Guns. Will have to check it out.
I still have a modded OG xbox that has a version of coin-ops. I still go back to play old arcade games that I used to play as a kid. The local burger joint I used to go to in the early 90s had a BloodBros cab and a local laundromat I used to work near had a Super Street Fighter 2 Rainbow Edition which was a modded version of the game where you can do all kinds of crazy stuff not intended in the normal game.
This is a great video showing hidden gems for MAME. so many games on there so its great to have pointers like this.
My arcade hidden gem list so far: 1941: Counter Attack, 64th Street: A Detective Story, Arabian Fights (Arabian Faito), Wild West C.O.W: Boys of Moo Mesa, and Martial Champion. Thanks for the list, there's a few I definitely want to check out!
MJR, as we get older I get more appreciative of games that you can just jump in and jump out of. Simply don't have time for games that are 40+ hours in length.
Yep! 💯
I'm going to try that Metamorphic Force! Looks gnarly!
Another great video!
I love Quartet! I remember playing it in the arcade and then I couldn't remember what it was called until last year I scoured the web until I found it.
Loved Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters. Played it so much back at Wunderland back in high school.
Cool stuff - Escape fro the planet of the Robot Monsters got a couple of 16 bit home releases - I had it on Atari ST and I imagine it ight have had an Amiga port - great game. Funnily enough I played Blood Brothers the night before seeing this. I love those Cabal style games. So much fun!
