@@AvalancheReviews i know I'm very late to the party, but. Thanks for covering the bouncer on ps2. I.just feel that the game came out on the wrong hardware. If it came out today. It'd be in a much better spot.
It being so hard to get running is punishment for saying Residents Evil 7 isn't survival horror because it's in first person. You got more coming for that one too
Let's not forget what he went on to say in his Resident Evil 2 Remake video: (he was speaking about a 1st Person mod) "Being in 1st person is the definitive way to play the game. The perspective allows much more immersion, & is much, much scarier. I can definitively say that THIS is the best way to experience Survival Horror. So if you're playing the PC version & have access to mods, do yourself a favor & get this 1st Person mod IMMEDIATELY." - Jared "Jaded Hypocrite" Avalanche 😅
@@biohazard_hqhis takes are absolute ass, for sure. Yet I’m compelled to watch his retrospective videos lol. But he says something almost every 2 minutes that has me like “what?” lol
I completely agree avalanche has really gone out of his way to bring these to us and in fact ive seen a few games i haven't played. This being one of them.
"If you are playing an arcade game to get a specific ending" Me shuffles nervously and look at my house of the dead 2 copy. But the monsters look dope though.
I've seen like 3 machines of this in the wild and every single one had insane amounts of screen burn because no one played it. That should tell you how good an idea making this game was.
That makes a lot of sense. It used a DLP display, from what I've been able to tell. Those DLP's were mega prone to image burn-in. They were also hard to get bright pictures out of, which explains the curtain around the cabinet.
As the Silent Hill-fanatic that I am, I've really enjoyed these videoes and will be sad to see them go. Another series that I think it would be really cool to take a look at is the Legacy of Kain-games. They are more action-adventure games with a horror-fantasy atmosphere, but they are a ton of fun, with amazing stories and voiceacting. :)
@@AvalancheReviews That's fantastic, and an amazing coincidence. XD Can't wait to see it! Hope you'll take a look at the rest of the series as well. The gameplay isn't always the best, but the story makes up for it imo.
What a beautiful channel man, every video is spot on and the amount of dedication is unbelievable. I really hope you get what you deserve and the channel gets proper acknowledgement. I'll sure be here for the rest of the journey.
It at galloping ghost in Chicago one of the few in the states I loved it cuz it was silent hill and my friend was like I see why u like this series lol
Man, I wish Nintendo would make a game like Eternal Darkness today. The Switch is extremely lacking in M rated exclusives compared to the GameCube or even Wii. He could cover Geist too, the only M rated FPS Nintendo has ever published.
@@DJ_Macphisto Denis Dyack is actually back at it again, this time with a new studio looking to... well not make a spiritual successor to Eternal Darkness, but make one for Blood Omen Legacy of Kain instead. This one's called Deadhaus Sonata: (Pre-Alpha Gameplay) th-cam.com/video/D9ZrNt4FUo4/w-d-xo.html (FextraLife Preview) th-cam.com/video/wClkmtAbebU/w-d-xo.html Wonder if it'll go better than Shadow of the Eternals... and if it IS, I wonder if he'll take another crack at SotE later on.
The whole story aside, the fact that the plot revolves around Little Baroness is a nice touch. It's one of the lesser known mysteries which was mentioned in the series exactly once in one single memo in SH2, IIRC, which provided both creative freedom and sence of belonging to series proper without messing with the canon.
First, I want to say, I absolute love your channel. Great content to binge or even rewatch. That said, “if you’re playing an arcade game to get a specific ending, you may have missed the point of an arcade game” is a pretty bad cop out. Obviously the main point of an arcade game is fun, but a huge part of that is replay factor, something you could’ve taken advantage of to get the “good” ending. That said, I probably wouldn’t have replayed it, either, considering it was on that tiny window.
You might have a good point there. I typically play stuff like competitive fighters and beat em up games. So I never worry about endings. I just enjoy the mechanics and experience.
A local arcade place actually has an original SH arcade machine and it's really fun when played on a proper machine. One of the bests arcade games I've played, easily. Glad they put the effort.
I remember going to universal Orlando just for the silent hill haunted house, $1.5m set. It was amazing to say the least. There should be plenty of articles about the details
@@AvalancheReviews my 18yo mind appreciated every second of it. I Believe it had some movie influence to the set but I could care less it was so cool just to see.
I remember playing at one of the arcades in used to go to. Trafford Centre, Manchester, UK. I remember dumping in 10 pounds and got to use both guns, which was so cool. Because, if you pick shotgun for one person, both players got it. So, I drained the shotty with player 2, who then switched back to handgun. Boss battle comes up and my player 1 still had the shotty which made the battle itself a bit easy. I remember having a blast playing it. A real shame they took it out pretty quick. I always wondered why they'd do it but looking at your video now, I kind of understand why they took it out in such a hurry! Awesome video btw!
I remember playing this at the arcade in Bundoran when I was a teen, it was fun to play for like a few euro, might head down the road and see if it’s still there!
I love that arcade machines are nearly always 60 FPS. Really helps to stand out against consoles, which until recent generations, were also 60, it now typically 30.
OMFG, you actually did the SH pachinko game, you madman. Is that Konami's endgame, replicating Lovecraftian insanity-inducing effects? I'm sure feeling like gouging out my eyes right about now
I’d love to see a video about the ins and outs of getting some of these games into a state they can be recorded. I’ve always liked listening to your explanations of the process.
One of my favorite Silent Hill monsters comes from this game, Tuberculosis which is the axe handed dragon. Theories for it are that it's just protecting the little girl and you're the one who starts the fight
Silent Hill The Arcade is a fun game to spend time on. Although the dialogue and story is hard to grasp I just love shooting the monster weak spots with a lot of bullets in them.
Man, that's a ton of hoops to jump through just to play this game. Seems like it was pretty fun once you get passed those hurdles. Also, that voice acting is the best. Love hearing that uncanny valley english.
I randomly found you in my recommendations. Proceeded to bing a bunch of your videos and now I'm subscribed. You're pretty cool. Thanks for the awesome review :)
When hear you say that there was Silent Hill one entry left in the last Retrospective, I thought P.T. I completely forgot that Konami made an arcade game. I only heard of briefly, years ago. Sorry it was such a headache to getting going. Love your Retrospective video. They got me playing some of old console in this pandemic lockdown.
I played this game like 9 years ago with my wife(girlfriend at that time) and we also got the "Why didn't you rescue me?" ending. Disappointed but we had fun and played it again lol! It's either we play this one just to deplete every credits we got left, Tekken 6 or Technika 2.
Great review. For a time one of these cabinets existed in an arcade in Australia, and I played it once or twice (and sucked at it). I found it very cool, I'm sad this never got a port. HotD 2&3 are so good on Wii, would've been cool to have this on there too
Your self sacrifice and time spent getting this footage looking so crisp definitely paid off. I also like the look of the game and can respect it as a fun spin-off. Not like how BoM was a spin-off in name only and attempted to make every game somehow work with the damn book. This begs the question: how on Earth did TP get the game running on a Wii?
They used the same emulator I did, they just also used a wii mote and a bluetooth usb adapter. There are drivers to get those controllers working on pc. All you need is a source of IR light and you're good to go.
Anyone in Chicago area there is an arcade called galloping ghost that has a working arcade cabinet of this game. 20$ unlimited play to hundreds of arcade tables. Also it’s one of the few silent hill arcade cabinets in the states
Thankyou for going through all that to get this made! This looks fun. My PC is old junk (I love it because I do every non-game thing on it, but it really is) so there is absolutely zero chance I'm gonna be able to get this running, not gonna try. But I can always watch a walkthrough. I was always curious about the story since honestly I like the focus on the Little Baroness. I won't expect to be emotionally moved but that spark of intrigue is there nonetheless.
@@AvalancheReviews hmm, perhaps something like this tale would be a better target for a film adaptation. Something to improve on rather than something to risk ruining.
wow never thought id see that in the title thanks man ive tried messing around with old lightgun games a few times and yah thats a real task such a weird peice of tech though kinda funny to cause its like a living fossil
I am lucky enough that the mall literally 15mins away from my house that has this and 1 out of the 3 arcade cabinets located in Eurasia. I used to play this almost every time I go there. Also, been dual wielding the hand gun for the hell of it. I never finished it though. I would still play it today but the guns are worst for wear.
My only gripe about the actual arcade cabinet is that the guns doesn't have any recoil function. Other than that , it's a pretty solid arcade shooter with an SH theme. It's not everyday that you can blast SH monsters with unlimited ammo xD
Thanks so much!! I appeciate the hell out of the support. When you get on there, make sure to look through my previous posts. There are about 3 videos on patreon, that haven't been made public yet.
Sounds like a true enurance trial, getting this to behave itself - awesome you found a solution though, there's nothing like succeeding at this fickle task 👍 Several years ago I spent an evening that quickly became 'weekend' getting System Shock 2 to run properly. But what is a measure of time when it's in service of such a noble, Holy pusuit ? 🙏 This game is the last 2-shooter arcade shooter I ever expected to use a series like SH as it's vehicle.....for better/worse, I find it awesome that this made it into the arcades 👍
In as early as can be to sing praises to the man himself! Excited to watch you take another trip down to the foggy town of silent Hill... no matter now "ARCADIC" it might be haha
@@AvalancheReviews just finished the video! Took a break in between to grab a bite to eat! Just wanna say that I'm personally grateful you managed to slug through all the complications to get some gameplay footage at a pretty good fidelity to us! I couldn't begin to imagine the frustration you had trying to set it up, but am thankful you got it done anyway! Love these videos and as always, look forward to the next. I'm excited for this last video on SH because I have no idea what it is at all, and to keep myself in suspense I've refused to search it up. This one surprised me because I didn't search it up, so I'm mega intrigued for the next game! Also some more RE movie reviews! One last thing, you got any plans of moving to a new franchise once SH is done? Or are you gonna focus on finishing RE first before you get to reviewing another franchise? Thanks Jared! See you next video.
It's worth pointing out that this game IS part of the main Silent Hill continuity. Prior to its release, back in Silent Hill 2, James Sunderland finds a memo in the prison that describes the events of this game, specifically, the mysterious disappearance of the Little Baroness in Toluca Lake.
I try not to harp on too much about that though. Just about every game since 4, has been mentioned in a memo from one of the original games in one way or another (except Book of Memories).
@@AvalancheReviews I guess it's kinda cool that when Konami decided to make this sub-par game, at least they went back through the old games and found some random memo to use as a solid story connection when making this game. Kinda like how SH4's story relied heavily on a few newspaper articles, also from SH2.
I figured you'd be doing The Arcade, but when you say "the last entry" I can't think of what you mean. I thought Book of Memories WAS the last game in the series.
Might be talking about PT, tho there's not REALLY alot to talk about. There's a couple games he hasn't covered yet tho so it might be one of those, like The Escape or maybe even the Orphan sequels
Wow, I really struggle with the technical details, and I appreciate your work more for the fact that you talk so much about it. I mean, I'm just trying to get Knights of the Old Republic on my Windows 10 Notebook, and I can't, for the life of me, get it to run without crashing after the character creation screen.
Jared going to the depths of Toluca lake and back to get this game running. I’m actually hyped your playing these off shoot SH’s I’ve never heard from of before, I thought you were just going to review Dead by Daylights SH3 dlc lol!
Honestly, the story sounds pretty good. It just needed to be told in a different style, like a traditional survival horror, or as a book. But the concept of a cursed ghost ship dooming the small town it docks in is rather cool.
Sidebar : for me, the only image that comes to mind when I hear "Taluca Lake" is that of a disheveled Tarantino standing in his bathrobe, wondering what two hitmen want from him AND, crucially, will they be gone by the time his wife, Bonnie, returns home from work. "Don't "Jimmy" me - don't f@cking "Jimmy" me Jules !"
To be honest, I didn't know this existed. That being said, the story sounds like your standard American horror movie. You know Teenagers exploring a haunted town, they fight or run from monsters in an attempt to end the haunting and survive. Pretty standard and the original SH games are meant to be representative of Adult horror movies like Jacob's Ladder. This arcade game sounds like a take on the teen horror genre of the 80s and 90s. Which for an on-rails shooter makes sense.
This evokes similar feelings to when I saw... I think it was the Genesis version of "Tail Spin," which was like "this is an adaptation of a cartoon that was an adaptation of 'Tales of the Gold Monkey,' clearly the smart thing to do is make it a 2D platformer instead of making it about flying the cool plane."
I loved the references to this game in the fan-made game, Alchemilla, where is uses Emilie Anderson's likeiness on a poster about Tuberculosis vaccinations!
Team silent: “a deep tale of madness and suppressed emotions”
This company: “Anyway, we started blasting!”
HAAAAA!
Jared for what it's worth, I never even knew this game existed. So despite your setup Hell, I appreciate you showing me something new.
Yeah, I sort of figured most people wouldn't know about this one. Hell, I barely knew it existed.
@@AvalancheReviews i know I'm very late to the party, but. Thanks for covering the bouncer on ps2. I.just feel that the game came out on the wrong hardware. If it came out today. It'd be in a much better spot.
I didn’t know either and I didn’t know some cabinets streamed from the net and I didn’t know that some cabs were custom windows boxes

Thank you! It is a little sad to see it end, but the next series retrospective will be an awesome time. I think you'll dig it.
Could always review the pachinko machine.
Hit the lever Avalanche! XD
@@AvalancheReviews I love hearing that intro woman singing at the beginning of each video.
Technically you could argue that PT is still out there to review and discuss.
I completely agree avalanche has really gone out of his way to bring these to us and in fact ive seen a few games i haven't played. This being one of them.
"If you are playing an arcade game to get a specific ending"
Me shuffles nervously and look at my house of the dead 2 copy.
But the monsters look dope though.
HA! I won't lie. I put a lot of time into my DC copt of HotD 2 for the same reasons.
HotD2 is literally one of, if not the, best light gun games tho. This isn’t a problem!
Silent Hill the arcade playthrough of every ending, please~
Not a bad idea at all.
@@AvalancheReviews +1 Would love to see this as well.
Count me in!
I like how the rabbits sound like Xenomorphs when they are shot.
Yeah they do kind of have that sound, don't they?
Never understand why this game was never ported on Wii or Ps3 with Move.
It would have made wayyyy too much sense.
@Dungeon Man Patreon subs get first dibs.
Never understand? KONAMI there you understand know
That would be giving fans what they want and that against Konami's business plan
Me neither, it just shows how bad of business people Konami true were and are.
I've seen like 3 machines of this in the wild and every single one had insane amounts of screen burn because no one played it. That should tell you how good an idea making this game was.

I actually recently completed a video of the fist Soul Reaver game! It should go live just after the SH retrospective finishes up.
@@AvalancheReviews That's fantastic, and an amazing coincidence. XD Can't wait to see it! Hope you'll take a look at the rest of the series as well. The gameplay isn't always the best, but the story makes up for it imo.
@@AvalancheReviews That's fantastic! I love Legacy of Kain as much as Silent Hill.
Jared went through Silent Hill just trying to get this damn game to work.

I can't wait for the SH “Pachislot” machine review.
I love the fact you actually get to fight Robbie the rabbit.
played through this with my boyfriend a few years ago on a trip when we found a working machine, had a blast, even if i was awful at it haha
Yeah, it was much more fun than I was expecting.
It at galloping ghost in Chicago one of the few in the states I loved it cuz it was silent hill and my friend was like I see why u like this series lol

Once you’re done with SH, you should do Dementium or Eternal Darkness.
Eternal Darkness for sure. I

@@AvalancheReviews your cuban? Same here!! Another Cuban making it in the world like Desi Arnez! ;)
You’re the man bro, I love your videos
No, you are!!
Sounds like a true enurance trial, getting this to behave itself - awesome you found a solution though, there's nothing like succeeding at this fickle task 👍
Several years ago I spent an evening that quickly became 'weekend' getting System Shock 2 to run properly.
But what is a measure of time when it's in service of such a noble, Holy pusuit ? 🙏
This game is the last 2-shooter arcade shooter I ever expected to use a series like SH as it's vehicle.....for better/worse, I find it awesome that this made it into the arcades 👍
Thank you for your hard work Jared. Never knew this game existed! O.o
You are very welcome.
I think these rail shooters are required *BY LAW* to feature abysmal voice acting.
I think I remember that bill passing the senate.
This game was a fave of mine in the arcade
I have this tradition of coming to my local Rios restaurant and eating some tacos while watching your silent hill reviews in my vehicle
I'm proud to be a part of that tradition!
Oh my, downloaded the game and it actually works on my cheap laptop! With K-Lite codec installed. Thanks for finally making me try it!
Hell yeah!! Happy it worked for ya!
You mad man! You couldn't end it there... You had to review even THAT game next. You an I know what you're going to do next. Hit the lever!
I'd love to lead you guys on, but sadly, I won't be covering the pachi-slot machine. God, that would make for a weird video though.
In as early as can be to sing praises to the man himself! Excited to watch you take another trip down to the foggy town of silent Hill... no matter now "ARCADIC" it might be haha
It's a pleasure to have you along for the ride!
@@AvalancheReviews just finished the video! Took a break in between to grab a bite to eat! Just wanna say that I'm personally grateful you managed to slug through all the complications to get some gameplay footage at a pretty good fidelity to us! I couldn't begin to imagine the frustration you had trying to set it up, but am thankful you got it done anyway! Love these videos and as always, look forward to the next.
I'm excited for this last video on SH because I have no idea what it is at all, and to keep myself in suspense I've refused to search it up. This one surprised me because I didn't search it up, so I'm mega intrigued for the next game! Also some more RE movie reviews!
One last thing, you got any plans of moving to a new franchise once SH is done? Or are you gonna focus on finishing RE first before you get to reviewing another franchise? Thanks Jared! See you next video.
they shoulda ported this to the ps3 with the ps move, looks fun as hell with an actual light gun
It's worth pointing out that this game IS part of the main Silent Hill continuity. Prior to its release, back in Silent Hill 2, James Sunderland finds a memo in the prison that describes the events of this game, specifically, the mysterious disappearance of the Little Baroness in Toluca Lake.
I try not to harp on too much about that though. Just about every game since 4, has been mentioned in a memo from one of the original games in one way or another (except Book of Memories).
@@AvalancheReviews I guess it's kinda cool that when Konami decided to make this sub-par game, at least they went back through the old games and found some random memo to use as a solid story connection when making this game. Kinda like how SH4's story relied heavily on a few newspaper articles, also from SH2.
I just subbed, nice video but really the merit of the video is getting the game to work after 3 days, gonna look forward for the next video.
Thanks! And welcome aboard!
It's a little weird that there's a reload animation showing the gun & hands. Considering there are no hands or a gun normally lol
Great videos as always dood!
Thanks man!
I figured you'd be doing The Arcade, but when you say "the last entry" I can't think of what you mean. I thought Book of Memories WAS the last game in the series.
Might be talking about PT, tho there's not REALLY alot to talk about. There's a couple games he hasn't covered yet tho so it might be one of those, like The Escape or maybe even the Orphan sequels
I’m pretty sure he wants to cover PT
Probably PT, maybe Alchemilla or an episode of "Inspired by SH" featuring games like that western European source mod and Lost in Vivo, etc.
I bet it's those Play Novels!
Bittersweet seeing the ending of the Silent hill serie....
Please do Fatal Frame next!
Wow, I really struggle with the technical details, and I appreciate your work more for the fact that you talk so much about it. I mean, I'm just trying to get Knights of the Old Republic on my Windows 10 Notebook, and I can't, for the life of me, get it to run without crashing after the character creation screen.
This didn't come up in my mentions, and that sucks =/ either way I'm here to enjoy!!! Hello!
Hi there!
@@AvalancheReviews and how has your weekend been thus far, mine is going wonderfully!
Jared going to the depths of Toluca lake and back to get this game running. I’m actually hyped your playing these off shoot SH’s I’ve never heard from of before, I thought you were just going to review Dead by Daylights SH3 dlc lol!
Honestly, the story sounds pretty good. It just needed to be told in a different style, like a traditional survival horror, or as a book. But the concept of a cursed ghost ship dooming the small town it docks in is rather cool.
It's not terrible. Might be a little hokey, but it's the voice acting that makes it funnier than it actually is.
you can actually find this story *the boat* on a newspaper on SH 2 bro
I'm just surprised you didn't mention the article in SH2 that is about the Little Baroness disappearing.
I don't know. It just didn't seem necessary. Like, this is just a spin off, and there really wasn't a need to tie it to the rest of the series.
The opening for this video 😭😭🙏
Sidebar : for me, the only image that comes to mind when I hear "Taluca Lake" is that of a disheveled Tarantino standing in his bathrobe, wondering what two hitmen want from him AND, crucially, will they be gone by the time his wife, Bonnie, returns home from work.
"Don't "Jimmy" me - don't f@cking "Jimmy" me Jules !"
I'm not even a Siletn Hill fan but i really enjoyed this whole retrospective. I'm sad to see it go.
Here's hoping the next one is just as entertaining!
Hey man is been awhile good to see u up nd well
Yeah, I'm doing pretty well. Just started what's hopefully going to be my last semester in college!
@@AvalancheReviews Glad to hear that plenty of horror games coming out hopefully by the time u finish college!
If you don't do a review on the pachinko machine, blood will be spilled.
I had a chance to play it the last time I was in Japan, but I just didn't get around to it. So you guys'll have to go without. HA!
@@AvalancheReviews Well, that is just a huge shame as an SH fan to miss out on the best in the series, I gotta say.
To be honest, I didn't know this existed. That being said, the story sounds like your standard American horror movie. You know Teenagers exploring a haunted town, they fight or run from monsters in an attempt to end the haunting and survive. Pretty standard and the original SH games are meant to be representative of Adult horror movies like Jacob's Ladder. This arcade game sounds like a take on the teen horror genre of the 80s and 90s. Which for an on-rails shooter makes sense.
Yeah, actually that's pretty right on the money.
House Of The Dead On Silent Hill
I absolutely love this game
Thanks for the vid. Didn't even know this was a thing.
Glad to deliver some useless knowledge to you guys. If I'm gonna have all this stuff taking space in my brain, you guys have to also. HA!
Just need the SH pachinko machine to complete this collection now
This evokes similar feelings to when I saw... I think it was the Genesis version of "Tail Spin," which was like "this is an adaptation of a cartoon that was an adaptation of 'Tales of the Gold Monkey,' clearly the smart thing to do is make it a 2D platformer instead of making it about flying the cool plane."
Ha! Yeah, I can see the similarity in approach.
I loved the references to this game in the fan-made game, Alchemilla, where is uses Emilie Anderson's likeiness on a poster about Tuberculosis vaccinations!
I still haven't played that. It looks awesome as hell though.
