Thanks for giving Violent Storm the praise it deserves. I still don't know why it has never been released in Hamster Arcade Archives or something similar. It shouldn't be buried in Mame.
I think it's mainly because 1993 is on the edge of what Hamster is focusing on. I'm not too familiar with what the hardware is for Violent Storm but, if it's on different level of board than say Mystic Warriors, Hamster is probably not prioritizing it yet. Taito is still funding the Milestones series and most of the rest of the lineup since 2021 has been 80s Namco games.
@@Andrea-di2ew I agree, it feels fast and fresh during the whole playthrough. Even the most famous beat'em ups get kinda samey by the end of the game unlike Violent Storm.
I always read Sunset Riders as the adventures of Comano and his partner, who has three split personalities. This is due to Steve, Billy and Bob all looking like the same bloke in different wigs.
Another quality deep dive onto some classic and unknown gems, thanks Kim. Have pledges on the book so looking forward to getting my signed book sometime in the future.
I had the pleasure of playing Violent Storm in the arcades, back in 1996 in Whitley Bay. Completed it there and then, and knew straight away it was the best beat em up I'd ever played.
Very thrilled to watch this as your arcade coverage is always excellent and puts me on a nostalgia binge in the best way. A few years back my girlfriend got me one of the 1-Up arcade cabinets of The Simpsons and as a kid who was super obsessed with the game and show when they were both new it was an incredible gift.
I just backed the book yesterday and I'm very excited now for when the book releases. Your work is always amazing Kim, and I hope your work continues to shine!
You did miss one Konami racing game that actually is somewhat notable: 1998's Thrill Drive. In a way, the game is like a prototype Burnout with a much darker theme. If you wreck, your driver gets ejected from the car. Only, rather than it being cartoonish like FlatOut, they land unconscious on the hood of the car while the text *FATAL ACCIDENT!!* appears in bold letters. When you respawn, the music changes from the high energy rock/dance tracks you'd think of for a street racing game to a more ominous, horror-like soundtrack and the sunny skies suddenly become overcast, and then raining if you crash again! Thrill Drive was a pretty obscure title, and cabinets are hard to find in the wild, yet it did manage to get 3 sequels! (Though most don't like to talk about TD4.) Also, it was one of the inspirations of the aforementioned Burnout series, so if there was no Thrill Drive, we'd probably not have Burnout!
When I was a kid we used to regularly take holidays by ferry to Norway, Germany and Netherlands. Those ships all had an arcade game we played to death and only watching this video today do I learn that it was Sunset Riders!
Fun fact about Simpsons arcade- Marge's hair can come off revealing rabbit ears. Yet I found that game nightmare fuel as a kid before I knew that anyway ha
The thing is, that was a reference to Matt Groening's Life in Hell comic. He toyed with the idea of making Marge a rabbit in disguise, with Homer not knowing, but that ultimately never came to pass.
Hello Kim. You did cover the RollerDerby game in a previous vid. I know, as i downloaded it for MaME! Its a great little game. "Streets of Rage on Rollerskates". I take it RollerDerby was very popular in the 1970s - a kayfabe'd, trash TV enjoyed at large, by folks who dug Wrestling. I used to watch a LOT of Sanford and Son, and The Dad LOVES the Rollerderby of a Friday evening. There is also a nice, feelgood film I can recommended, named "Whip It!", which is a coming-of-age Teen drama, set against a backdrop of Pro RollerDerby. Directed by and Starring Drew Barrymore - itll give you a nice warm glow inside, akin to the Ready-Brek of yore. 7/10. Cheers for another great vid Kim. Ive been thru 4 times now :)
Mystic Warriors is easily one of my favorite arcade games of all time. Just absolutely lovely on all fronts. Violent Storm is up there too. It always frustrates me how weird people treat that game. Almost every time I've heard people talk about it, it's weirdly negative. Even downplaying the music as if it's awful. The first time I saw it, it was through a TH-camr playing it solely to show how bad it was so he could mock the game and just seeing it, I knew I had to play the game for myself because it legitimately looked like a great time. Never got why people get that way with that game. Maybe people just hate games being fun.
The difference between Kim and Konami? Well they’re both from the 80s so not that… and they’ve both made some great gaming content over the years, so not that either …. Hmmmmmm…. Got it! Kim didn’t fall off and try to sell me a Fight Palace Pachinko machine and tell me it was the new Metal Gear.
To me, Punk Shot was fun because of the 90s aesthetic and the attacks for knocking the ball out. Also it didn't have a 'goal tending' penalty like NBA Jam. Graphics are not too disimilar from Street Hoops
I remember the late 80s and early 90s where cabs were EVERYWHERE in the UK, from newsagents to launderettes, pubs, cafes and sport centres. And especially video shops, for some reason. (This is where my brother played the uncensored version of Crime Fighters 2/Vendetta. And yes, he reacted to THAT LEVEL with all the maturity and dignity you'd expect from a tween of that era.) In one case, there was even a cab in a car dealership! (It sold Fiats.) I always see this as the Golden Age of the Arcade Game, if not the Arcade itself. By the time I was old enough to play them, they were, as mentioned, far more accessible, while arcades themselves, outside of the seaside, were stigmatised as dangerous, seedy places where strange men would try to sell you drugs or worse. Cabs became, for a brief time, mundane and part of everyday life, at least until the Playstation came along. On a final note, Asterix was also very rare, but I really enjoyed playing it on Brighton Pier in the year it came out, alongside Turtles in Time.
I don't know, while I love Gradius Gaiden, I still like Gradius IV as well. Enough to get the PS2 Gradius3 and 4 pack off Ebay as my second ever purchase off that site in late 2004, right after buying a copy of Gradius Gaiden, as my first ever Ebay purchase on October 4th, 2004 (Ebay reminded me the other day that I made my 20th anniversary there). The third purtchase to finish the top 3? Parodius Deluxe Pack on the PS1.
I think you missed Racin' Force, which is improperly emulated in MAME. I played it once at an arcade. The thing that's throwing off Emulation, I'd suppose, is it's the only Konami game that seemingly uses Voxel Graphices for the turrain. So in essence it's like a Mode 7 SNES game with Super Scaler Sprites and voxel stages.
Yeah, I tried Racin' Force but unfortunately it just isn't playable -- it's totally black where the track should be. Same applies to a few others like Golfing Greats 2.
An interesting fact about the Northern Ireland flag faux-pas in Premier Soccer... Northern Ireland doesnt actually have an official flag. The flag that is often used to represent Northern Ireland is the 'Government of Northern Ireland, 1924' flag which isn't official. Another soccer related flag faux-pas, although arguably not as egregious, is FIFA International Soccer on 3DO using the St.Patrick's Cross flag for Northern Ireland which isnt recognised as official either. Northern Ireland is a mess regarding 'flegs'.
Konami was killing it in the arcades in the 90's. Now it seems they only are interested in mobile games and pachinko machines. Sad to see how the mighty have fallen.

I think Xexex is really good, the problem is Konami sabotage themselves cause they change the mechanics for the western version (for awesome shmup action play Japanese version). Same goes for thunder cross 2, if you like the western version, you’ll probably will love the Japanese one. In TC2 Japanese instead of the bombs (little babies) you’ll get amazing power ups (the way the game was meant to be played).
It is strange how Konami did this to so many games; I was kinda surprised when Kim mentioned that Trigon went the other way, with the Japanese version being significantly more difficult in that case. As a general rule though, yeah, if it's a Konami arcade, play the Japanese version. Monster Maulers is another good example, the export version strips out even the intro/attract tune, which is one of the most quirky and amusing things about the game. Gaiapolis did get export releases btw, there are European and USA sets of it in MAME, probably just didn't end up being very popular. Also Vs. Net Soccer and Rushing Heroes are the same hardware as Soccer Superstars, so not really 3D games at all, just 2D graphics with rotating ground planes like SNES mode-7.
I still think it's hilarious that Konami's Contra is an Aliens ripoff (especially with the later stages) and then when Konami actually gets the official Aliens licence, they technically just make another Contra game, which just happens to use the Aliens licence lol.
I can imagine that sorting licensing for the licensed games - Simpson's/Turtles/Asterix/etc., could be long and fruitless. These are some of the most attractive titles.

Its a good thing that some of those games are and remain obscure. Konami did get it right a lot but when they missed the game is bad in every way possible. Talk about ugly graphics.
@@Kim_Justice Seriously. Sunset Riders was such a bummer on the Genesis that there's currently a team of hackers working on a proper port. Still eagerly waiting for the finished product!

Hi Kim, when is the book likely to be released to buy?
@@petercollins3846 Ideally, backers will receive the book in March, and it should be available to buy on Amazon after they've got it.
My understanding of stuff like Mogura Dese is that they weren't so much test games as a legal requirement.

Thanks for giving Violent Storm the praise it deserves. I still don't know why it has never been released in Hamster Arcade Archives or something similar. It shouldn't be buried in Mame.
I think it's mainly because 1993 is on the edge of what Hamster is focusing on. I'm not too familiar with what the hardware is for Violent Storm but, if it's on different level of board than say Mystic Warriors, Hamster is probably not prioritizing it yet. Taito is still funding the Milestones series and most of the rest of the lineup since 2021 has been 80s Namco games.

Excellent stuff, Kim. I'm just on holiday by the pool, and then this lands well thats me sorted. Happy days. You are the best.
This video is my childhood. This and your DataEast vidoe are a dream come true. Thank You Kim.

Was so looking forward to this video, thank you!!!
Man this is an amazing video. Lots of great memories playing those games. Thank you!
Love the use of "kick out of" for the soccer (footy) game!

Oh I know I'm going to enjoy this video so much, thanks a lot Kim for your ever brilliant work.
And I wasn't wrong. 👏👏❤
Loved the reference to Patman QC...what a dead set legend! Violent Storm is the best beat 'em up ever made...it's near perfect.
I remember playing Gaiapolis in a Margaret River tuck shop when I was 12 (1993) and I really liked it. So the game did actually left Japan.
Excellent
I have great memories of Sunset Riders on holiday in the South of france years ago! Great game would definitely recommend playing it!
I wqs huge o fighters in the 90's arcade scene, so Martial Champions was my jam because the audio is crazy good.

I was going to the arcades in the early ‘90s and I missed out on Rollergames. Too bad it looks really cool!
Lethal Enforcers 1 to me is a "forgotten" gem
That was such an excellent two-part essay. As always.
With that being said, pleaaaaase do the same with Capcom some time soon!
