- A playthrough of American Laser Games' 1990 arcade FMV light gun shooter, Mad Dog McCree.
This video shows the game being played as it appeared in Majesco's 2009 compilation disc for the Nintendo Wii, Mad Dog McCree: Gunslinger Pack.
What is there really to say about Mad Dog McCree that hasn't already been said a million times since its release in 1990? It's appeared on nearly every platform it could've possibly been put on (though it is strangely absent on the big 32-bit platforms), and the game doesn't change between them. Well, except for the quality of the graphics. The original game was on a laserdisc, which still looks good even now, and some of those older ports didn't, shall we say... do justice to it. The Sega CD port, anyone?
The Wii version looks great, though. There are a few compression and interlacing artifacts, but the video is generally really clean and clear. The Wii remote is the perfect controller for the game, and if you like the old light gun rail shooters, you've probably already played it. If not, Mad Dog McCree is a blast, but it's very difficult. There is relief if you persist though. Since the game is all full-screen FMV (no sprite overlays here!), the action doesn't vary a whole lot from game to game. With regular playing you'll eventually start to memorize scene cues and enemy placements, and the whole thing starts to become much easier. And more fun, I've always thought.
If you like American Laser Games' stuff, I'd really recommend the Wii's Gunslinger Pack. I love this disc! It has Mad Dog 1 and 2 and The Last Bounty Hunter, all on the same disc, and they're all pretty faithful to the arcade originals. I just wish that there was a 480p mode and an option to turn off the crosshair, but those are nitpicks.
Now, ALG, or Digital Leisure, or whoever has the rights at this point - can you PLEASE hurry up and remaster Space Pirates already?! There's probably a port of Mad Dog McCree available for the screen on my washing machine by now, so why am I still playing the VGA Dos version of Space Pirates? Hint: it's not because playing a PC game from 1992 in 2018 is the simplest or most convenient option.
Sorry for the rant there. Seriously, Space Pirates is easily my favorite American Laser Games FMV shooter, and the only console port it ever got was the 3DO one. That was good in 1995, but it'd be nice to have it on a modern machine that runs the video at a higher resolution than 320x200 and uses a pointer controller. So, basically, any current system but the Xbox would be perfect.

I like that unlike most FMV games out there, they had a real set instead of a greenscreen.
This Wii port does the original laserdisc game justice, and it's a great way to revisit the campiness that defined American Laser Games' stuff.
You can add another game to the ALG remake wish list - Who Shot Johnny Rock.
Crime patrol 2, hands down
This game was amazing for its time and I love the bad acting in it. I wish they would release a port of Time Traveler to the newer systems. I have fond memories of that game.
MFields2178 Holy shit Time Traveler. I wish I had one of those arcade machines, that thing really stood out.
I remember watching my dad play that in a mall arcade in Charleston when I was a little kid. Lmao he was so into it, he even had his tongue between his teeth/arched eyebrow concentration face on. Damn it's been so long since I've thought of Time Traveler!
Haha! Glad I'm not the only one who remembers that game! It was the only hologram game I ever played. I'm wondering if it's the only one that existed.
MFields2178 Haha yeah it was amazing to look at, but I don't remember ever seeing the game anywhere but that one at the mall.
MFields2178 yes, very bad acting, it seems like a some kind of porn parody..
"Mad dog! You don't stand a chance!" *Suddenly the sheriff gets shot and dies* Me: "Well I think he does stand a chance after all"
At least he took out two of Mad Dog's men. (It's hard to see, but both the Sheriff and the guy on the roof shoot each other at the same time.)
Every time I see that old man talking to you, I think it's Kenny Rogers.
HAHA KENNY ROGERS
I thought i was the only one
So you're saying it isn't?
To give the true answer, it’s Ben Zeller who’s most recent acting role was in Saint John of Las Vegas in 2009 as a Truck Stop Owner
And the guy at 4:55 sounding a little like Kevin Costner. :)
I love the acting. Some parts are just hilarious just like in the second and third game XD
There's a third Mad Dog game?
Edit: Nevermind, I looked at the comments before watching the video.
I remember playing this in the arcades in the 90's
It was boonkers!!!!!
That’s what my dad said led me to this video
Back in the day this was our Red Dead Redemption. lol
Ha ha you missed that one...TRY ANOTHER!
Oh ho, you missed that one. Try another!
9:25 always loved when that happened lol
GOSH!!
I kinda miss these ol' rootn', tootn' tales and gun fights of the ooolll' west!!
This game blew my young mind when I first laid eyes on this and watching others play!!
Can you imagine if developers made a modern FMV rail shooter using today's Holleywood-caliber style special effects??
That would probably kick so much ass!!! (> w
You made it look easy. Nice shooting my friend
Use to play this kn arcade all the time
A live action video game!
Loved it on the mega cd and love it on this 😎
I kinda regret not picking up the Gunslinger Pack last time I was at a CEX.
This needs a switch port ASAP
Right? The IR sensor would be able to emulate a light gun so it’s a surprise the most recent port is still the PS3 version
I never realized the bonus cylinder for shooting the cattle skulls and spitoons were a thing!
I might be one of the few people that actually enjoy this game without just blind nostalgia.
No it's actually a good game
Same

The scene with Mad Dog lighting the fuse with a cigar has the music by Tim Souster called, "Counter Attack".
And the theme of Mad Dog is called “Earthworks” by the same composer. The attract mode and ending theme is called California Skyrider composed by Graham Todd.

Thank Southwest Productions, LLC, entire scene was taped in Albuquerque, NM. 1990.
Looks like a flawless version. So how come we never got drug wars and space pirates. Gutted
RIP , in the loving memoryy of BEN ZILLER (the old white hear narrator)
he's not dead btw. (and you've got his name wrong, too)
I'd totally buy a full compilation of ALG's library, for sure. I miss these kinds of games, though. The bad acting, the overall goofiness. Late Shift is about as close as anything we'll get as far as modern games are concerned (and the last Tex Murphy game).
Dorelaxen I'm still holding my breath for a follow-up to The Tesla Effect. What an awesome throwback that was.
Oh, hell yes. Jones said he'd love to do more if Tesla Effect was a hit, and apparently it was. I could just live in that world, man. So good.
Wow Very Awesomeness 🎮
This game got me tons of babes back in the day beatin it without dying LOL
I had to stop playing it because i couldnt fit anymore beautiful goddess babes on my bed
I remember of this game on the arcades, hit detection was shit, you had to have a ton of coins to keep going...
great game i beat mad dog twice
10:46 smoke
Better than RedDead 2.
Ah ah ah
It really is though
want something smooth like that. play the Wii zapper version.
7:45 does anyone know the name of this music ? Please and thank you
Counter Attack by Tim Souster
Mad Dog’s theme is Earthworks, also by Souster
Im playing this on my wii and the showdowns are impossible, when I draw to shoot its either to early or way off target even when I aim well.
Its as if the calibration is way off (on purpose)
I finally found to reload just above the sensor bar and rapidly point the gun straight down. Once you get that rhythm down, it's not as difficult, but before I did it was rough.
I must have this
Wii port is rising in price... I don't even own a Wii anymore, but I will scoop one up again just to play this with the Wii pistol...
This reminds me of a Sega CD game.
It was on Sega CD, but it looks awful compared to this.
Which game? Ground Zero: Texas, Midnight Raiders, Bug Blasters?
I wish they would port this one to the switch. Think about it, on the dock, you can use your joy con as a gun. While on handheld, you can use either the right analog stick or touch screen. I also hope they do the same thing with crime patrol 1 and 2.
shoots horse , guy dies
Do u ever do a vlog or go on camera? Seems like u know a lot and make a good podcast
Mom: We have Red Dead Redemption at home.
Honestly I played this game as a kid on the Wii and it was an amazing experiences for it being a wii game and it being my first western game ❤❤❤
Rdr 3
I don't remember this mission in red dead redemption 2
To say that the performances in this game and its sequels were at the level of community theater acting would be an insult...
...to community theater acting. 😂
It would’ve been more funnier if that the people you shot just done the family guy death pose
The wii port is no good imo...there is a awful lag and with the slow IR tech, its very tough to hit someone before they do.

Dr. Emmett L. Brown: Great Scott
I have the emulador dolphin 🐬 but the sound effect when I shoot doesn't come out , do you know why?
The sound comes from the controller speaker. Tell Dolphin to play that sound through your speakers.
@@NintendoComplete ok then that option is on the 🐬 menu ? I will search that issue. thanks for the support
@@Junior.illinois I think it's in the controller menu. Np :)
Bring back the iOS port and do a Switch Port!
So bad that is Good
😞 ☝ no se porque nunca me entere de este juego antes 😨 ✊ 😲 me hubiese encantado jugarlo 🙏
Es un juegazo..........
This game was made on a budget
A low one
he he you missed that one, try another!
9:11
One day this game will cost a fortune. I think I am going to buy it now.
Como se recarga??
apuntando y disparando fuera de la pantalla
Notice how white they are! So cute 🥰
