Will they be able to destroy some of the worst shoot em ups of all time before it's too late? Or will evil incarnate NES Silver Surfer and PC Engine Deep Blue succeed in making this the final episode? Don't miss the wildest, most insane

Never thought you were going to do this in such a cinema-like way. Keep having fun and thanks.
I was so stoked how well that whole ending came out with the green screen effects. Now that I figured out how expect bits here and there in the future, but it'll be hard to ever top this lol
@@ShmupJunkie Dude... you shouldn't drink before making a video. Or take ACID/LSD/whatever :D
The Cheetahmen music actually did fit the game pretty well lol.
I know right! haha. That music is actually pretty good... the only good thing about that game really. Someone was inspired that day.
Now THIS is going to be hard to top. You’ve outdone yourself, Junkie. You’ve destroyed a copy of Deep Blue, and for that alone you are a hero. Loved all the crazy effects too!
I have NO idea how I'm going to top it either lol. Maybe in the next one I will jump an actual shark and see how that goes 😂 I would love to say I did, but the copy was a fake. As much as I hate the game I couldn't bring myself to destroy real stuff. Plus it would mean my complete pc engine shooter collection would be missing a game haha
This was so stupid and amazing. It captured that old school AVGN style perfectly. James would be proud for sure
I would love if he actually ever did get to see it, but alas not likely. I still had fun making it though for sure. Stupid and amazing is about what I was going for haha.
I’m not willing to give the Atari Jaguar anymore shakes then its gotten over the last 30 years. It sucks so bad.
Great video!
I have a friend that runs a channel and a show called the Jag bar that has some interesting takes on it. It seems like a system that had potential but almost no dev either bothered or spent enough time to use properly. They seemed to have the right ingredients being a very low price point and it still just didn't sell. Goes to show that even a low price point can't overcome the lack of interesting games. My Jag history is very lacking though so I have a lot to learn in terms of what really went down with it. I did watch the Wrestling with Games episode which was pretty enlightening.
@@ShmupJunkie the gaming press torched it. I was all over every one of those magazine back in the day and I think the only positively rated game I can recall was the one that constantly says “where did you learn to fly” and eventually the Alien Trilogy.
I think it lacked any major 3rd party titles. No mortal kombat, no street fighter, no good mascot game, or platformer. It just sucked.
We’ve kind of turned the corner and I think there’s been an attempt to exonerate some of these consoles like the 32X but I still don’t think they’re very good 😆
I’d much rather play Genesis, Snes, pc engine, or even the 3DO or Jaguar which did have a lot of good games. Also that controller is soooo bad. Oh man
@@ShmupJunkie the Atari Jaguar CD, God rest it’s soul (it never really lived), did have Primal Rage….I really liked that game for some reason. I think we all did
This was an amazing throwback to late-2000's vids. Over the top, bombastic and filled with passion. Great work man!
Just when I think I can't love a channel more, you do this.
I had such a fun time making this one. Was bit of a shame it didn't catch on or get much traction, but I'm going to be proud of that finale I put together for a long time haha. And I learned some really fun skills to use for future videos too!
LMAO at that intro....🤣👍
hahaha, yeah I had a fun time making that little homage.
The editing, dialogue, and production value in general of this episode are purely stellar! Whenever my depression hits, I swear, Shmup Junkie uploads a new video, and my spirits are lifted! Rock on brother! 🎮🎮
What I've heard is Atari wouldn't pay for the extra cartridge space needed to put music in the game. It's like a 4 MB cards but it had to have super high resolution art. That's also why the reviewers liked the graphics. Seeing high resolution graphics like this from a console is kind of a novelty back then.
It was really weird for me as I don't recall being impressed with the graphics at all at the time besides being higher res. They were really flat and not that interesting. I didn't know that about the cart space wow. If Atari was the one to choose no music due to cart space for a launch game that'd be a pretty bone headed move. Was that in an article somewhere?
@@ShmupJunkie I think TH-camr Kim Justice covered it in his video about Jack Tramial who was the guy running Atari at the time. Jack was always kind of a tightwad and he was a businessman so he wouldn't have understood games. His thoughts on Atari would have been based entirely on using the brand name to make some money in the game market. So corner cutting wouldn't have been such an issue for him.
To be fair most consoles have some crappy launch titles, a lot of times tech demos get turned into games and that's what this feels like. It doesn't help that it's got a very Euro shmup vibe to it, and Euro shmups are super hit and miss.
Ha ha! 😂 my favourite bit is after you and Timmy did all that work to beat it, only to get that crappy ending 👏. That game socks monkey balls.
Lol right! Not too unusual for some games back then, just getting a basic credit roll.
If it wasn't for the upload date, I'd 100% believe this was a lost game review from the late 2010s. This is SO precisely done to what everyone was doing back then.
Ha! That’s awesome to hear cause it’s exactly what I was going for. I love making the sandbox style throw it at the wall and see if it sticks kind of videos. I miss them and a big part of why I’m doing some like it now.
It's a work of art and a time capsule.
This is such a delight to watch. Real high quality content right here.
I feel like I had just a little too much fun with this one lol. I'm glad some people still find this old one since it wasn't very popular, as it was fun playing around with all the silly video editing.
The fact that you manage to keep these videos accessible to anyone while sprinkling in little things for people a bit more into games is fantastic. I chuckled right away at the look of pride on Timmy's face when he says he had to fight the dog for his costume, and even more during training when the Hudson button press meter that Takahashi Meijin used to demonstrate his incredible mashing in the caravan days. Lots of references, too... Tenacious D in the ending caught me off guard for some reason. Hadn't heard the tribute song in a long time, and seeing that lyric took me back.
It was worth my long session with McFur last night to be in tune with Timmy.
That’s part of the fun. Seeing how many references I could sneak in for people to catch and enjoy. I like messing with that Hudson watch it’s always hanging out nearby. Though we don’t need mashing skills anymore. To Be the Best is probably my fav Video and montage music the D did a while back. It still slays me. I love the D in general. If it wouldn’t have been a copyright claim I would’ve used that song in the training sequence. But it turned out a great dude on my discord made me that original song to use and it turned out great!
That crazy bus song you picked was perfect and hilarious! 😂
hahaha, I didn't expect you to find this one. Kind of an off the wall silly video I did, wasn't too popular. But I had a stupid good time making it as you can tell. TH-cam is the one place in life I can act this way and get away with it haha.
@@ShmupJunkie I thought it was great and really funny! And yep I'm making my way through all your videos.
@@ChaossX77 My very first video series ever were my pc engine mini reviews. It was the reason I started my channel just a couple years ago. Thinking that’s all I would make and all just for fun. But they did so well I just kind of kept going.
The Mario outfit looked awesome on you
Lol I had fun with those couple old Mario episodes. Did you see the two originals? I’m glad Nintendo didn’t sue me for the second one with what I did at the end 🤣
Everything went super crazy at the end. I loved it
Not just super crazy, super saiyan! 🤣
I fricking love your channel! You don't miss man, WHAT AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC VIDEO.
Awesome work, man! Thanks for the laughs! This is the only possible way of using a Trevor Mc Fur footage for a video and making it good! Besides, I had never played Deep Blue before, and thanks for making me dodge this bullet. I can imagine the amount of time and effort you put on this one! :D
I believe Trevor McFur was only destined to be a technical demo but they were so desperate for launch titles, it got released as a full title.
From what I'd read it was in development as a full game but that could be wrong. They were just rushed and it wasn't near ready upon release. It does get a bad rap though it's not terrible, just kind of boring to play. It wasn't easy making those segments somewhat exciting haha.
@@ShmupJunkie Agree, you did a great job!
What were they THINKING!?
You are a genius for this one!
Thank you for letting me enjoy an AVGN-style review once more. I completely stopped watching AVGN after his Ecco the Dolphin video.
Hmmm now I have to go see that video as I’m not sure I have. It’s a fine line to walk between being funny and goofing on older games but also being light hearted and realizing it’s for entertainment and not mean spirited. I had such a fun time making this one if you couldn’t tell.
Nice AVGN parody! The Jag just never disappoints in being... disappointing!
Silver Surfer really seems like the poster boy for bad SHMUPS. It's not that bad of a game lol
Lol true, I think avgn is partly what made it the poster boy. And why I used it. It’s got great music but isn’t a horrible game but like many other nes games that had potential but some broken mechanics made them too frustrating. But we played them anyway. I like to think I wasn’t harsh on the Jag at all here and never talked smack on it only mcfur really. And even he got to save the day!
OMG. This video is legit amazing. :-P It deserves waaaaaay more than 17k views.
This was really funny. I enjoyed the look at McFur and Deep Blue too. I didn't know that dinosaur/dragon skeleton from all the Jaguar ads was from McFur! Now I know.
I had a little bit too much fun making this video 😅 so I’m glad you enjoyed it. Yes I remember those ads well and mcfur was the first and only Jag game I played back then so I knew it.
That Cheetahmen theme works so well because McFur's gameplay is straight out of one of those Action 52 shmups
Doesn't it though! Honestly I think that cheetahmen theme is pretty cool despite the crap game and it totally makes playing McFur a better experience. Goes to show how important good music is to a game, especially a shooter.
You definitely had fun with this one and so did I!
Best show ever, super funny to see. Your edit skills are legendary, there's a lot of work here!
Was a hell of a lot of work for sure! Big production lol. But it was fun. And having others contribute the music and vocals made it a cool community effort. It’ll be a while before I can top that finale.
I didn't play this until last week and I thought the boring asteroids would never end. I guess they didn't.
The video was everything we knew we wanted, lol.
You did a bang up job on this one. I really hope it takes off.
All that Trevor McFur you went through, lol, TRUE devotion to your craft.
All the best man. Thanks for these videos and being the undisputed king of connecting with his commenters on TH-cam.
Thanks man I'm glad you enjoyed it that much. I had an awesome time making it and seeing it come out so fun. I hope it does well too or at least maybe one of the avgn guys will see it and dig the homage. No idea how I will top this one someday...
@@ShmupJunkie
You’ll top it. You’re still on the ascent
Way to go, you've just upped the value of both games! Seriously though, great video! 😆
Lol, I'd be glad to up the value of McFur and Surfer, though I'm sure the real Nerd did that more than anyone. I just hope I didn't up the value of Deep Blue as that's one game that truly deserves the trash heap of history.
@@ShmupJunkie Also, the Super-Saiyen Junkie and Timmy Final-Kamehameha-Spirit-Boom at the end was great! The only thing more powerful would have been a Fuzion into Junky! Followed by a Shmup-Tinfoil-Dookie-Beam-Cannon! Epic 😆
@@onegunninja So here I am wondering how I’m ever going to top this ever, and One Gun Ninja comes along and tells me exactly how I’m going to top it! 🤣🤣🤣 Sooner or later this is going to have to happen.
@@ShmupJunkie can't wait! 😆👍
Without a doubt, this is one of the most hilarious video games related video I have seen...I have been laughing a lot...!! The Cheetahmen score for Trevor McFur was splendid but the training was the pinnacle of the video for me...hahaha! Awesome my friend!! My kids enjoyed it as well. On the side note, I hope 1942 is safe and sound, I love that game 😉
It's pretty crazy how well the cheetahmen score works for the game doesn't it? I think it would totally add to it haha. I agree both the training sequence, and the crazy ending with the effects were my two favorite segments to do. And now I have some new skills I learned for future videos. I tried to make this one pretty family friendly so I'm glad the kids enjoyed it too. Yes, 1942 is safe. It's a classic I just never liked the NES port. All the stuff I used here were fakes so no carts were harmed in the making of this video lol.
Bruh this was pretty funny. Well done.
Thanks. I honestly had a lot of stupid fun making this video. And even though they don't do as well as my other more common ones, it's nice to do something different and be creative for a while.
Haha! Awesome video and nice CGI! 👌
Love it!
This was awesome to watch! AVGN would be proud! 😄👍👏👏👏
I’d love nothing more then if one of them watched and enjoyed it. It was the best homage I could do while still keeping it a video of my own.
ohh man this episode is amazing, the AVGN nerd should take notes from this episode to improve his show jaja.
I can name 4-5 of his episodes that are still some of my favorite of all time, like the Ninja Gaiden episode. I was just hoping to capture some of that magic and some of his big finales. I was so stoked when I finished the ending it came out even crazier than I could've hoped.
Oh you absolute dork, I can tell you had a lot of fun making this one, lol.
Haha for somebody who only started making videos to test input lag you’ve really gone all in 😂
It’s a lot of fun playing with the editing and seeing what I can come up with. But yeah I started just to do reviews on the pc engine mini and get people excited about it... and here we are.
You have to keep that intro for your future videos. Laughed really hard watching that
If I ever do another avgn parody with Timmy for sure. Though I could probably get my own theme song for him and redo it for that too.
You and Timmy always make me laugh! Thank the much effort what you put it in the show-was awesome.
Thank you. It's as therapeutic for me as it possibly is for others who need a good laugh.
This was so good it gave me a good laugh, I'm glad I found your channel
I mean, these games are bad. But no shmup I've ever played is a bad as Saint on the Wii
I’ve yet to play it but I have seen some video footage and it certainly did look quite bad 😅
very awesome fun end part with super Saiyan, very nice editing that must have been hard
Thank you. I always learn a lot doing it so there will be more opportunities in future videos. Hard but fun.
haha! crazy episode please keep it up!
I say Silver Surfer gets a pass for having amazing music lol
It's the Tinfoil Hat RetroGame Dweeb taking on the
WORST #SHOOTEMUPS EVER in this tribute to legendary AVGN. The wildest, most insane episode I have ever done with a finale you have to see to believe! Deep Blue is on the menu and
Silver Surfer is out for blood. Will the gameroom survive? Probably not...
DON'T MISS THE GRAND FINALE!

I would like to weigh in on the "Pack In Video can't make a good video game" debate. They are actually responsible for both Magical Pop'n and Iron Commando which are 2 of the most coveted Super Famicom games for most collectors. Each one is a fantastic example of their respective genre's and go for well over the $500 price range. To say they can't make a good video game is definitely not doing them any justice. Anyways your video was great like usual. I'm with you that Trevor McFur could have been a great send up to over the top 80's cheese but sadly they missed the mark on that one.
You’re completely right about that! It was more of a joke on their name but you’re still right. From what I’d read, so correct me if I’m wrong, they mainly contracted out their projects and did a lot of licensed games. So the quality varied based on who they had do the actual development.
@@ShmupJunkie I couldn't tell how much of a joke it was or not so forgive me on that one. But you are correct they did release a handful of infamous licensed games including NES Rambo, NES Predator, and Friday The 13th. However they also played a part in the release of a few a Natsume titles like Kabuki Quantum Fighter and the very first Harvest Moon!
Great video, Junkie! I'm very glad you survived!
Was this recorded in early 2010s and just posted? Has that early avgn vibe in editing and 2nd persona dialogue. I like this!
Ha! No it was just a few months ago or less, but it was on purpose. I was going for exactly that vibe so I'm glad it came across. An homage to the old avgn episodes.
Had to come and watch after the pod w Mark and Ed ...
Glad i did, hilarious vid.
Merry Xmas!
🕹 🎄🎄😎
Ha! I guess my little plug for this one got at least one person to check it out. I had so much dumb fun making it. When my son saw the dragonball insanity at the end he could only facepalm in disbelief 😂. Embarrassing our children is part of the fun. Thanks for watching it and glad you enjoyed it. And merry Xmas to you as well.
Huge applause for another great episode!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am very happy I found you on youtube!💜
Thanks buddy and I'm happy you're enjoying them so much.
Best video yet. You will be having celebrities doing cameos in no time, maybe even....... dare I say the name........ Fred Fuks! All kidding aside, love the videos, you rock man.
oh man right from the intro you can tell this is gonna be a good one
Holy shit... this dude is ODD. Into cool shit but just... whoa...
I actually liked Silver Surfer,good art and music.
Silver Surfer isn’t a bad game at all totally right. I was mostly spoofing the famous AVGN episode. That video alone is likely a big part of why many feel it’s a crap game. I mean it’s not a great game but it does have decent graphics and some really good music. There were far worse on the NES for sure!
What the hell did I just watch?
I mean that in a good way. I laughed a lot.
I do feel this is the kind of video one must watch either drunk, high or both.
Mission accomplished! 🤣🤣🤣
i am currently completely lost in the shmup-crack rabbit hole (booting soldier blade on the PCE for the first time basically made it 10x worse). and its all thanks to you junkie. keep inspiring more people i love ur channel
Soldier Blade will certainly do that it's a damn fun game with phenomenal music. One day you should play with us in the next caravan on my discord. We play a lot of games similar to that for fun and help each other get the highest score.
BITD when I saw the first picture of Trevor McFur in a magazine, the one with the skeleton boss, I was blown away because I loved CGI and seeing pre-rendered graphics was awesome. I thought the next generation really was there. But I never saw the actual game...
Never heard about Deep Blue either! This isn't even rare, which means people actually bought it...
That Thunder Force IV music is so good that you can use it as a background for an action scene :)
Great episode!
Haha great! I sat down expecting gentle mocking of some bad games, completely unprepared for the rollercoaster-ride that would follow! Timmy's training montage should be inspiration to everyone who ever wanted to complete their favourite (or just some very crappy) shoot em up!
I had to go all out for the spoof it wouldn't have been right to take it too easy. Though I did use fakes for busting up actual games, pretty sure avgn did too. I just had such a damn fun time making this though. And before I forget, can you email me at shmupjunkie at gmail? I changed emails and lost track of your old one. I have that Duo coming back from a repair finally and want to be able to get it to you. I feel bad it's been this long but I haven't forgotten. It turned out to have an issue with the RGB out and not the cable so I sent it out to get fixed.
multiple characters, behind the camera.
It would sure be easier if I had some partners in crime to help out lol
I like Deep Blue...I think the music is what makes me go back to it every now and again.
I have to admit you may be the first person I've heard say they like the game. The chip tunes do have their charms but I have to admit I didn't like it then when it first came out or now. But then again, there are other really crappy games that I do like and still play too! haha
@@ShmupJunkie it's still low on my rankings of turbo games but I still it's better than Falcon, gunboat, night creatures, drop off, darkwing duck, Jack Nicolas, and power golf.
No matter how much of a dog turd a game can be, if it has some great music, for me at least that can be enough to hold my nose and power through. Wish I could think of a good example right now, because I know there have been some, but I’ll have to get back to you!
@@ChrisSmith-cd7uw No better proof then the segment where I added music from cheetahmen! It made the game like three times better 🤣
Haha; I dunno, man. Crazy Bus is more my bag! I like that bebop jazz, ya know, and that Raga!
deep blue is the pinnacle of art
Wow wow wow! This was so good! I love it! Great work!
Thanks dude! Glad you caught it already. Aside from figuring out how to top it one day I need a break lol
@@ShmupJunkie you've been going all in on the videos for a while, maybe it's time for something with a few less special effects? Maybe a few videos where you talk about why you like one of your favourite games? Something simple where you can put a few in the can and release them over a few weeks while you take a break? We don't want you getting burned out!
Missed opportunity to bring that DDP sprites to your help. xD
Crazy Bus moment totally got me LOL. Perfect match indeed
🤣 was wondering how many would get or remember that bit. Fun old TH-cam memories
I’d like to see the real Angry Video Game Nerd review Deep Blue and D-Force.
Good use of Boot to the Head!
Not many people recognize that old ass song, but man I loved it as a kid and all the Dr Demento stuff. Nobody ever uses the actual song just the skits so I figured I'd give it a go.
Nice, being the other person in the world that played Trevor McFur I have a love/hate relationship with it too. I have the current TG world record for points, but unlike Air Zonk I'm not very proud of it. Cool effects on the video!
I have a feeling your world record is safe on that for the foreseeable future haha. You gonna run the record for Deep Blue also or is that game where you draw the line? Honestly it's so exploitable, but it has a lot of loops. They couldn't make a decent game but oh no, they had to give the damn game at least what, 3 loops that I know of? 😂 That was so rare in the early games
@@ShmupJunkie I have the record for the PC Engine of Deep Blue at the moment but there's isn't much competition. It's so strange and so poorly designed that certain enemies can hit you 20 times and barely damage the A.N.G.E.L. yet certain ones can hit you only four times and boom that's it. The game is very unpredictable and all three weapons are not too effective since they all fire straight and avoiding enemies can only go so far especially in higher loops. Deep Blue rightfully deserves its bad rep.
Hey Ryan! I've been playing some Air Zonk lately. I love it! I just can't seem to figure out the powerup system. There's always so much crap happening onscreen that I just grab whatever I can but I'm pretty sure that's not the right approach. I mentioned in another comment that it's fascinating to me how different the shooters seem to be across the systems of that time, and one of the things I figured out about PCE/TG-16 shooters is that it seems like powerups are floating around like crazy, but you have to choose to pass up many of them in order to build the weapon you want (Blazing Lazers; geez!) I made it to "Land of Drool" (level 6 I think; the one with all the boss fights) and that was about it for the night. Is that the last level? Any quick, simple tips for dummies? I realize I could just look this up online, but it's not every day you get to talk to the champ!!!
Take care man!
@@ChrisSmith-cd7uw Thanks there. Yeah, the Land of Drool is insane and yes it's the last level. I recommend finding weapons like the Cards (great spread), Electric Beam (decent power), and the Lightning Strikes (nice defense) plus I also like using their charge attacks before a fight to help clear the area and do heavy damage early in the fight for bosses. I recommend avoiding the small zonk power ups since it lacks power and you still die with one hit. Grabbing smiles helps getting your friends faster in the battle too. Hope this helps.
At the end of the video, I was expecting the appearance of Super Mecha Death Christ 2000 :)
The ZX spectrum port of Salamander is the worst disgrace to the genre ever! Who wants bullets randomly turning INVISIBLE and still having hitboxes ?? FUN !!
Baking powder = beg your pardon?
Never heard that one before.
Intro song is so funny, ending too XD
How has this got such low views compared to other uploads? You must of spent some good time getting creative with this.
Absolutely loved it.
.....hope you grow man. You have 3x the amount of subs I have but you deserve 30x!
This one just didn't interest as many people I guess. I thought it was a lot of fun and yeah it took a ton of time. I guess people wantr more of the nostalgia stuff and not so much comedy, so I learn and move on. But I'm still glad I did it as I learned a bunch of green screen effects in the process I can use for future videos!
Ay up bro, just discovered your channel few weeks ago. It's class mate, I'm just starting switching my gaming collection to mostly shmups. Tbf I loved Mc Fur back in the day(don't know why). Will be making some shmups videos in the future, Am I OK to mention you in a video and put a link to your channel? No bother if not, keep up the good work bro. 👍👍
Of course, you're more than welcome to use whatever you like and link what you need. Not a problem at all. And good luck on the video!
Absolutely laugh out loud stuff! Loved it 😆
I like how Contra Rogue Corps was in the trash can. I picked up the xbone version at Wal-Mart for 5 bucks and I still felt ripped off. LOL
Oh man, I remember boot to the head from dr demento when I was a kid... That was a call back
Yep, used to listen to it all the time as a kid too. I was wondering if anyone else would recognize that old bit and where it came from.
"I don't blame the developers, I blame the Atari" wasn't McFur made *by* Atari? Then again, the main trio of lead creatives - Eric Ginner, Susan McBride and James Hampton - worked on some otherwise good games, like Gauntlet, Lynx Batman Returns, Gubble, or Alien vs Predator.
McFur was made by a separate dev studio for Atari. And yeah Atari made some great games. I only blame Atari as they didn't give the devs enough time to truly finish the game and rushed it out for launch. So it's hard to blame them for being forced to release an unfinished product. It had potential but needed more time.
Love it! Great work as usual
I had Trevor McFur as a kid... luckily I just had a Jaguar I found at a thrift shop and found Trevor McFurkFace at a flea market a couple years or so later.
The game is like... a barebones protoype where devs took it to Atari and were like "hey we're making progress - it's working well enough we can start making it fun" and Atari was like "lol we already shipped the game, also you're fired" (this isn't fact, just wouldn't surprise me considering Atari's management in the 90s lo)
jfc i just got to the part with the cheetahmen music - that somehow makes the game LOOK better, you know sound design is important ofc but holy hell that's a great example of it lmfao
That fucking Zero Wing clip lol Brilliant. Bizarrely the NES games I played put me off it for life. You really enjoyed doing that montage didn't you?
That was from my Battle of the Ports Zero Wing Ultimate Comparison video. I spoofed the entire intro! If you haven't seen it before check it out, it was super funny. And a cool video too, but the first minute is exactly that.
@@ShmupJunkie I'll get it tucked in :)
Amazing video man
Thanks! It silly but I had a really fun and crazy time making it.
Forgot to mention; also the Lightening Force music upon Silver Surfer’s entrance was brilliant!
Was that a Davie504 slap at the very end?!?
Lol I had to look up the slap. I'm not sure I've had that sound effect forever. A slap and a punch I use them all the time. Believe it or not I'd never seen that Davie504 vid before. Epic bass... deserved the views.
Haha; #1 Italian TH-camr! I just wasn’t sure if you were trying to sneak that in as well!
Yeah, he’s one of the best, as are you!
Shmups is a genre that has fallen due to focusing too much on maintaining a high difficulty (often artificial, almost unplayable) and not on good level design. The ideal for a shmup is a balance between good difficulty (high but not unplayable), good level design (not just shooting, but adding interesting elements to the scenarios), variation between the attack pattern of each enemy and good rhythm.
Well lets be happy that the Philips CDi doesnt have a shmup
Another console I never owned along with the 3DO. But I do know the 3DO was more popular and had a larger library of games too. It did alright even if it never took off.
You need a disclaimer - no copy of s bad shmup was harmed during making this video 😉😏
Lol yeah maybe. So far nobody has really asked but I did use fakes. I wouldn't destroy games as bad as they may be.
This was the cheesiest, most over-the top and special fx saturated thing I've seen in a while! ... I LOVED IT! You put a heck of a lot more effort into the video than I was expecting; references everywhere, too! It was super fun, Junkie, great video!
Haven't laughed that much in a while, loved the video hahahah
Kung Pao creates a whole new level of context for your crazy ass videos 😆
Great ! I was laughing out loud when you went super saiyen 😄. Nice touch with details like the dragonball game on the tv. 👍👌
I always did want to go Super Saiyan... every kids dream. Now with the magic of green screen effects I made it happen!
when you develop STG game. but you don't have STG games experience.
Great video junkie!
Junkie...you did 1942 dirty in this video. That game's a classic! Also, as bad as Deep Blue may be, it looks and sounds about a million times better than Trevor McFur. Sorry, I dig your videos and respect your opinions but we may have to agree to disagree on this one.
No I don’t disagree with you at all on 1942. It’s pretty classic and I played it in arcades too. I just really disliked it on NES as by the time it came out it was just so tedious and repetitive with really poor music compared to many other nes shooters. So I never got on with it. But it doesn’t belong in a pile of truly crap games. I don’t think one should take anything seriously in this terrible parody video lol I was just having dumb fun and throwing things around being silly. But I do disagree on Deep Blue. McFur to me actually had decent control and mechanics with some kind of progression. It just feels like an unfinished game. Deep Blue doesn’t even feel like a game to me and like they just slapped something together and didn’t care. I’ve always found it to be the worst of the worst in terms of gameplay or lack thereof. But that’s something I’m ok being in disagreement with 🤣. Sorry for doing 1942 a bit dirty it’s certainly a classic just not one I found any fun with by the time it hit NES. But I know how many people are nostalgic for it.
@@ShmupJunkie You always show a great deal of respect for things people may love in a wise and cautious manner, specifically I find. I was subbed to your channel from a while back but really started watching again because 1.) I'm starting to get series about getting (actually) good at shooters and
2.) I was watching a "that which cannot be tamed" or "she who can't be named" or whatever and as usual she was voicing the "I just can't get into this classic shit" routine about Tetsujin and I got pissed and watched one of your videos afterward and noticed how generous you were about some dumb game that really does kinda suck and thought "he really doesn't need to be so kind but I know why he's doing it and respect that wisdom." So I started binging your channel while I'm trying to route out Tetsujin Ou. I was going to leave a comment saying you are basically the new Classic Game Room Mark but then today I heard Classic Game Room Mark is comong back to youtube. Now I just hope you and electric underground guy end up being in some kind of collaboration or something.
I've always felt my love for games like 1942 was a symptom of my developmental disorder, it's definitely not for everyone. It's important historically and all but I remember thinking it was kinda almost intentionally made to be plain in a "goverment issue" WW2 fashion and that it was extremely dry and a bitter pill when it was new and I was a fan. So the compromised NES port is definitely fair game and yes, came off bad in the time it was released in America. One of the many things that helped alienate American console kids from the arcade shooter thing.
Can't wait to see that Toaplan Documentary.
The cringe nearly killed me :(
Actually, I like Silver Surfer on Nes. I had to say it.
Silver Surfer has a lot to like. The music is rad too. It just had a lot of issues that made it feel impossible to play. Of course made famous by the real Nerd. If I do a sequel though I will definitely give Surfer a fair shake as it's not nearly as bad as something like Deep Blue which is a total joke if it's even a game.
Oh this needs to be series..
Excellent video. Amazing editing. I really enjoyed this and would like to see more like it. You've got serious talent!
Thanks. I had a blast making it too. I don’t go full comedy very often as they don’t seem to do as well as some of my other history and topical videos. But I still pepper it in on random episodes I do too, as it’s fun. That ridiculous final battle is one I’ll gladly rewatch and laugh at myself too sometimes. Although my son was embarrassed by it 🤣... my job as a dad is now complete.
@@ShmupJunkie When you said you were 15 when the Jaguar came out that gave me more of an idea of how old you were. I'm guessing born in 78 or so.. your collection is insane. And I didn't know you were also a father. That's awesome. You've done great in life from the looks of it. I'm 30 with no kids but I've got a long way to go. Still live at home 😔
@@NewportBox100s Close! 77 so yeah I’m an old fart. My boy is grown now not that it stops me from embarrassing him 🤣
@@ShmupJunkie That's awesome man! 😁 I've got a lot of your other videos to watch. They are all entertaining.
