Holy crap. To see my childhood arcade game be beaten in 8 hours is amazing.
Thank you! I'm happy other people are able to watch it.
It's a historic feat.👏
Thank you! I will try to do the old version soon.
Maybe even a Bosnian feat.
Man, you're amazing.
I just played this for the first time two days ago, on my new galaga partycade.
I'm addicted to bosconian already. I hope I can master it as good as you have.
To say I'm impressed would be an understatement.
I salute.👍👍
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the game. I hope you get a lot of playtime out of the partycade!
Incredible accomplishment! I'm really glad I got to see this live. Congrats again!
Thanks! I'm glad you were able to watch it. I appreciate the support! :D
新井！荒井！！
*ALART!!! ALART!!!*
*BATTLE STATIONS!!!!*
*SPI SHIP SIGH TED!!!*
I would think this game to be the predecessor of Time Pilot. This classic has always been one of my favorites, even though it wasn't popular in arcades. Most of these machines were converted to Galaga, but you can see an easter egg in Galaga in reference to Bosconian, when you see the spy ship.
loved this game since my days playing namco museum vol 1 on my ps2
I remember playing this on my PS2! Memories!!!
I'm glad it brings back some fun memories for you :)
8時間以上付き合ってくれたナビゲーターさんには頭が上がらない
Alarm!! Alarm!!
Impressive. I see the high score breaks near 4M points, too. Round counter resets near 3:42:00 Cheers artist
Woah you still post! Do you still play The Battle Cats? ;D
Still around! Unfortunately, I haven't played The Battle Cats since I made that one video. It's great to see Ponos has kept it running successfully, though. It was a lot of fun to complete (back when it was possible to complete).
What joystick did you use?
I used a PS4 Hori Wired Mini Gamepad while playing this. I usually use either that or a PS4 Hori Fighting Commander (not OCTA).
@@sikraiken thanks. Your control of the game is right on. Great game and video!
@@Hoxle-87 Thanks a lot : )
I just learned about this game. It reminds me of the overhead stages of Thunder Force 2 on the Sega Genesis.
Very good
CONDITION RED..... CONDITION RED.....
CONDITION RED!!!!
What's it saying over and over? Blast off, I got, but "A lie"? "Alive"? "Ally"? Maybe "Align?" - as shoot down the middle of the space station? It's sure insistent, but it seems to add little value. Of course, any game that had speech got our attention (and quarters) back then...
(Memories. "Coin detected in pocket!", "Silly human. Fight like a robot!", "Allies needed in Sector Wars! Play Astroblaster!", "I LIVE!", "Rogue needs food. Badly!".
Yeah, the audio generated by the hardware is a bit difficult to understand... It seems the different things that are said are "blast off", "alert alert", "spy ship sighted", "battle stations", and "condition red". "Alert alert" is played when your condition goes from green to yellow, signaling that enemies are going to start appearing on screen.
It's certainly something that has stuck in some minds that had the chance to play it, at the very least.
@@sikraiken Wow. Alert? Does anyone else hear alert? There's no 'T' at all. The BEST I can hear is "A LIE A LIE" or perhaps "ALIGN ALIGN". And all the others are very clear.
@@R.Daneel I hear it as "alert! alert!"
LOG OFF

Is it set so that the condition doesn't go into red even if the reconnaissance plane returns?
@@kitten_anakin To state it simply, condition red happens if you let the spy ship escape too many times (typically 2-3 times of it exiting the screen on a given appearance) or if you spend too long on a stage.
This is super ironic that you went for this. I recently (yesterday) went for the "kill screen" from a comment i happened to see on my old run. Also, why!?!?! Did you go non-stop?
Seems like the time for Bosconian, haha. Congratulations!
I can't pause in the arcade, so it doesn't feel right if I pause with MAME. WolfMAME doesn't allow pausing while recording an input file anyway.
@@sikraiken Indeed. Well, super props to you for enduring that 8 hour marathon. I hear and feel ya.
@@todayisforgotten Thanks!
I have this game on my Jakks console to see if this game is totally forgotten, well i see its not
Yeah, a few people still seem to like the game! It's not a perfect game, but I think it's quite good for 1981.
Blast off
For some reason, the American port does not reset your score in a continue.
Yeah - I'm not sure why, but one Japanese arcade version and one US arcade version have that. You can also see that the high score screen is a bit different and lists "Ships" next to the score. It kind of acts as a way to see how many credits someone used. Maybe they were experimenting with changing that part of the game? I don't know the story behind the reason.
You missed for 9-7 years, now for 2. That's mean you not left channel. When new vids?
Would you potentially get a higher schore shooting every part of the space station or is it too risky for competitive play?
You can get a higher score per stage by shooting all the cannons, but it would take longer to reach 9,999,995 that way. The fastest way to get 9,999,995 is to clear the stages as quickly as possible.
@@sikraiken going to attempt this the next few days, thanks :)
@@lstairvideos1330 Good luck!
Yeah.....you win. 😭😭😭😭
41 anniversary of bosconian
holy 8 hours... why not pause????
Crazy stuff though. Bosconian is awesome.
At an arcade, you cannot pause the game, so I prefer to play with that stipulation in place.
Thank you. :) Yeah, I enjoy it.

I love the game but they have to use a special chip for voice and say only 3 things.
