Desert Assault!!!, i have been looking for that game for ages!, saw it only once in an arcade in the 90s i have never been to before, and never returned, more than a decade later i looked for it on the net, but didn't see the game title on the cabinet (most likely a bootleg), so the only reference i had is what i saw and the mission accomplished voice at the end of a level, i didn't even get to play the game since i was just passing by at that time and the machine was in use. When i saw your video title i thought, hey maybe the game is here...Thanks!
OOOH DUDE, no kidding. I've been searching for the name of The Chaos Engine for years. It was one of my favorite games(the SNES port) but I could just remember how it looked like and I would literally never remember its name.THANK YOU!
Man i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart that you put in the video the elevator action returns. I dident know the name of the game i just know that when i was young i was in an place with arcade games and i remember my self playing this game and never forgeting the second stage the crash of the helicopter before you start. I dident know the name until today i found the game and the name of the game i never believed that i could ever find that game again. Oh man i cant descripe the hapiness watching again this game😭😭😭
How much joy these retro games brought in my childhood, you have no idea. Spending the whole day at the arcade, I play the modern games but let us never let them be forgotten my friend. Great channel !! All the support here from Nasty Blasty
@Sandman Slim I added it (or Cybernator....same thing) to my hacked SNES Classic 2 years ago and i couldn't get into it....i just prefer the style (both the music and the Macross/Robotech inspired sprites) and gameplay (i use control mode B....default mode A is really clunky) and equipment customization of Target Earth. Plus the sprite was so huge, it just felt confining on screen. To each their own, but i think Target Earth is better by far.
sus videos son excelentes, su trabajo es brillante. Particularmente me gustan tus videos sobre BEAT EM UP. Espero que hagas más videos de RUN AND GUN. Gracias
Brillant ✨Thanks to your video I retrieved lots of famous Run & Gun games from the 80’s I was searching because I forgot their name (Xain’d Sleena for example). Many thanks 🙏
Felicitaciones por tu contenido y ya de paso por el año nuevo, me he fijado que hay un error en 43:30 , la version de "The adventures of batman & Robin" que aparece es la de Mega Drive, que fue programada por Clockwork Tortoise y distribuida por SEGA, la version de SNES si la hizo Konami pero era un Beat'em Up, no un Run & Run. Quizá se pudieran haber incluido algún Shinobi o los Ghost & Goblins, aunque estos son mas plataformeros, o el Alisia Dragon de Mega Drive, Aun así magnifica selección como siempre.
43:37 This version of Adventures of Batman and Robin is on Genesis and was made by Clockwork Tortoise. The one Konami made for SNES is entirely different.
For a few notable omissions: Quartet and Psycho Soldier probably would straddle the line between Run and Gun and Horizontal SHMUP. However, the lack of anything Kiki Kai Kai or Megaman is surprising.
I'm trying to find this game I saw a long time ago in some hotel's arcade. It's a run and gun game like Metal Slug and your character's sprite and the sprites of many enemies were 2D but bosses and many things in the background looked 3D and it all came together looking rather good. I can't seem to find it, I don't even know what it's called. I know it had some kind of gunship or airship boss and the villain inside it had the classic "Ohohohoho!" kind of narcissistic anime girl laugh. I FINALLY found it, it's Dolphin Blue! I probably NEVER would have found it's name if I hadn't found this video, thanks!
My all-time favorites: Contra III, Contra Hard Corps, Shattered Soldier and Gunstar Heroes. Shoutout to Alien Soldier and the Metal Slug franchise, of course. Wish we'd get ports of Gunforce II and Hard Corps Uprising on modern platforms!
Gunforce II is being released this year on Irem Collection Volume 2, along with Air Duel and the original Gunforce (both Arcade and SNES versions). Hard Corps Uprising I would totally love to see it on modern consoles like the Switch, PS4/PS5, and PC. Xbox you can still get it via backwards compatibility.
Thank you for this. I had been trying to look for a game. I had forgot what the title was. I just remembered there was a mad Russian guy in it. There was also some shoes that your character collects and makes a Three Stooges laugh when he gets them. That game is called Total Carnage. Because of you, I found it. Thank you again. :)
AMAZING how almost each year , it was next gen in the 80's and 90. Where is the big technical Gap now ? Especially when you waii 7 years, or even 9 years( PS_360.) 😥😥😥😥😥
A lot of these arcade games are fantastic. But the controls spoil them at home, when you consider games like Ikari warriors, midnight resistance used those multi directional swivel sticks genius design. Cant believe no company hasn't produced a home version. Great video by the way:)
You forgot “” FRONTLINE “” probably the FIRST run and gun in video game history ( as berserk is not considered by many as a run and gun ; in this case many games should be considered as a “” run and gun “” like robotron for instance ) . ( scrolling is part of the run and gun genre ….) ( because a pac man/ maze game with fire option is then also a “”” run amd. Gun “””) . Anyway beautiful compilation, thanks a lot
As I am watching, it seems like the years go in order. So I didn't see "Legendary Wings", "Zombies Ate My Neighbors", "Smash TV" or "Super Smash TV". Maybe I'll still see them since I'm only halfway through the video
Atomic Runner and Midnight Resistance were my favorite games in childhood. While contra series is kore popular, I had the most fun playing them. Midnight resistance in particular was very cool with their idea of purchasing cool guns and gadgets through keys at the end of the level.
Amazingly erudite! though from the top of my head: Metal Storm (NES); Metal Warriors, Realm (SNES); Majyūō (SFC), Undead Line, Elemental Master (MD); Bucky O'Hare, Spin Master (ARC).
Metal Slug series are pixel art perfection.
Yes 👍
But there are no pixel when you play on CRT
Its Neo geo/snk. Even the golf game on Neo Geo is praised.
@@ShawnJonesHellion I love Neo Turf Master even though it's just pushing button but sometimes I don't like moving my body playing golf like Wii Sport
I also like League Bowling as well
Ja die Metal Slug Spiele sehen zeitlos geil aus.
Gotta love run n guns, beat em ups and horizontal/vertical shooters. The foundation of arcade gaming
The majority of these run n gun games are pretty damn brain-dead.

and shoot-em-ups!
I love the chronological order of this. Great to see the progression of games this way 👍🏻
The 2nd game is out of order lol.
Progression, followed by degradation again. Theres a point when about the advent of polygonal games, everything turns to rubbish again.
perfect example of comments and commenters dishing out thumbs ups with out understandings.
Jackal on NES is one of the most criminally underrated videogames of all time.
It's a perfect game, I'd love a sequel.
Love jackel
Sunset riders in 91 and Metal Slug in 96 made a huge difference in the genre. Super polished games with solid bosses and pace. Both can be satisfying even today
Yes
Are you seriously forgetting about contra?
@gjfkhvjzjsxbq He's talking about for the arcade. Contra on the arcade was just bad.
Gunstar Heroes gave me a chance with a percentage metric for a life bar.
@@gjfkhvjzjsxbq I dont think contra was on same league. Its like comparing Raiden/Raiden 2 , two of the most polished and legendary shooters that defined the whole "plane" genre to games like Aero fighters
"Bury me with my money!"
LOVED Sunset Riders!
Was playing the heck out of that on SNES.
Great upload, totally enjoyed this one amigo.
All Metal Slug games, Gunstar Heroes and Contra4 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy new year everyone.
Played Turrican II on Amiga 500 more than 3 decades ago. Just got goosebumps during the intro.
The Adventures of Batman and Robin is Sega Genesis (Mega Drive)! 43:29
Подтверждаю, именно эта версия.
Gunstar Heroes is the pinnacle of this genre.
Its impressive on how Ruff n Tumble still looks amazing even today. And that beauty runs on an Amiga 500.
Desert Assault!!!, i have been looking for that game for ages!, saw it only once in an arcade in the 90s i have never been to before, and never returned, more than a decade later i looked for it on the net, but didn't see the game title on the cabinet (most likely a bootleg), so the only reference i had is what i saw and the mission accomplished voice at the end of a level, i didn't even get to play the game since i was just passing by at that time and the machine was in use.

Caliber 50?
Must feel great , haha pure nostalgia 😂
Спасибо. Я вспомнил своё детство. Хотя мне 40 а я до сих пор в сегу играю и денди. Помню. Привет из России и Казахстана.
Este tipo de videos siempre son buenos para conocer cosas nuevas; excelente trabajo, gracias por subirlo y feliz 2021 😉👍
From the music to the gameplay these are some of the best games of all time thanks for helping me relive my youth
Gunforce 2 is just amazing 39:50
Alien soldier is incredible too 43:55
The music is phenomenal and brings me back to the dark arcade days!
1986 Jackal first run n gun game played use to play at the local dairy before an after school!🤣👍 Love the vid bring back the best of memories👌💯
How much joy these retro games brought in my childhood, you have no idea.
Spending the whole day at the arcade,
I play the modern games but let us never let them be forgotten my friend.
Great channel !! All the support here from Nasty Blasty
The 43:27 part of the video was showing the Genesis / Mega Drive version of Batman & Robin!!!
Exactly, it was a mistake
10:40 Holy is that the old Master Chief...
Ikari Warriors was/is such an iconic game. Great gameplay and soundtrack. 👌
Thanks for this - I'll be playing all of these at some stage.
Commando, Contra, Rolling Thunder ⛈️, and several others... ahhhh, the memories!
Any video that includes Assault Suit Leynos (Target Earth) is a win....hugely underrated game.
@Sandman Slim I added it (or Cybernator....same thing) to my hacked SNES Classic 2 years ago and i couldn't get into it....i just prefer the style (both the music and the Macross/Robotech inspired sprites) and gameplay (i use control mode B....default mode A is really clunky) and equipment customization of Target Earth.

Turrican II intro song... Awesome!
Thanks, I knew i recongnized it but I couldn't figure it out!
Code name viper 18:25 and Exolon 10:42. I've been trying to remember those games more than 20 years. OMG thanks
Yeah those are old old 1987 and 1990, yeah
Oh wow ! 🤯 it was Shock Troopers 49:20 and Demon Front 51:58 Thanks A Bunch Bro 🙏👑
Brillant ✨Thanks to your video I retrieved lots of famous Run & Gun games from the 80’s I was searching because I forgot their name (Xain’d Sleena for example). Many thanks 🙏
Boy, the innovation some of these games showed for their time is impressive!
Thanks for the nostalgic experience. NOW it's emulator search time.
Awesome list. I was surprised though that BroForce or MERCS didn't make the cut...
Great video of a awesome type of documentary thanks bro from old school gamer 😎, btw I 😍
Contra will always be my # 1
Having subtitles on was funny. One game he grabs a power up and it interpreted as "Ketchup"
OMG I have been trying to remember Wonder Boy III title for years. Thank You

I've discovered so many awesome arcade games because of your videos.
43:37 This version of Adventures of Batman and Robin is on Genesis and was made by Clockwork Tortoise. The one Konami made for SNES is entirely different.
Indeed, plus the genesis version is known as the most difficult Genesis game ever.
Amazing list/compilation, my dude! So nice to see the evolution of Run n Gun games, this way.
Great video ! ... little mistake with The Adventures of Batman & Robin (43:30) the version shown is Sega Genesis not snes ;)
Wow that jail break game would be so controversial today
Gran recopilatorio de uno de mis géneros favoritos
Un saludo y que empieces bien el año.
Earthworm Jim series is the best thing ever happened in SNES 😂👌
For a few notable omissions:
Quartet and Psycho Soldier probably would straddle the line between Run and Gun and Horizontal SHMUP. However, the lack of anything Kiki Kai Kai or Megaman is surprising.
Atomic Robo-Kid also missing.
AWESOME! thank You for perfect job. I found few my loved games.
Gran lista, faltarían algunos títulos como Dick Tracy y Eswat de Megadrive, Three Wonders: Quest for Chariot, el Cannon Spike...
Thanks man, this has become the video on my Run N Gun wheel on my cabinet :)!!!

I liked the bloodiness and intense war fighting of Guerrilla Wars arcade, contra 3 on the snes is pretty good and I’m happy to have two carts of it.
You're missing BroForce. I know its not that old by comparison but it's arguably the greatest run n gun game ever made!
43:00 the adventures of Batman and Robin shown here, is actually for the Sega Genesis, not the SNES
omg. 90% of these games I played as a child in the arcade and on genesis. I cannot wait to get my arcade in the apartment to play them again
Thank you for this. I had been trying to look for a game. I had forgot what the title was. I just remembered there was a mad Russian guy in it.

"Uuuuh ... thats gonna leave a mark!!!". 😁 Duke Nukem at his best....
I brutally miss Turrican 2 on Amiga!!
incredible !!! i love seeing sll these greAT games...😀😀😀
what a great compilation
That was awesome. My only gripe was the Chaos Engine should have been the superior, (original), Amiga version . :)
I am a simple man, I hear Turrican music, I click like
AMAZING how almost each year , it was next gen in the 80's and 90. Where is the big technical Gap now ? Especially when you waii 7 years, or even 9 years( PS_360.) 😥😥😥😥😥
Contra 3 was not in arcade game but it sure could pass as one. beautiful graphics just like super ghouls and ghosts.
A lot of these arcade games are fantastic. But the controls spoil them at home, when you consider games like Ikari warriors, midnight resistance used those multi directional swivel sticks genius design. Cant believe no company hasn't produced a home version. Great video by the way:)
games that used the swivel sticks were changed to twin sticks, like Robotron on console release.
Thx for not having forgotten the Amstrad CPC
"Merci beaucoup" from France !!! Feliz años bro 😉
Buena lista. Outzone me parece el mejor de su época.
You forgot “” FRONTLINE “” probably the FIRST run and gun in video game history ( as berserk is not considered by many as a run and gun ; in this case many games should be considered as a “” run and gun “” like robotron for instance ) . ( scrolling is part of the run and gun genre ….) ( because a pac man/ maze game with fire option is then also a “”” run amd. Gun “””) . Anyway beautiful compilation, thanks a lot
Nice video with a lot of good games. :)
I was wondering what shader config you use in your setup? I take it you emulate these games? :)
As I am watching, it seems like the years go in order. So I didn't see "Legendary Wings", "Zombies Ate My Neighbors", "Smash TV" or "Super Smash TV". Maybe I'll still see them since I'm only halfway through the video
Awesome list of games!!! Thank you so much for this job...
Would you consider Joe & Mac or PLOK a run and gun game? Just curious
It's funny how "Ninja" is just "The Ninja" on SMS lol
Very nice vidéo i love Sly Spy for me it's the best arcade game
9:20 Guerilla War is one of the most demented things I've ever seen in a video game. HaHaHaHaHaHa!
Will you do the best shmups?
Best Shmups would be amazing! Would be all over that :)!
Love the video. Brings back so many memories.
Whoa! Game over on CPC !!! I wasn't ready...
turrican's song begins. logical, is the best game ever
gracias . muchos juegos no los tenia
Mystic Fórmula, las sagas de Megaman y Azure Striker Gunvolt también cuentan?
Oh si, un buen refresh a ver si se me queda alguno que no sepa!
Antes que nada feliz año! ahora me voy a disfrutar el video con unos buenos mates! saludos! 😃👍
Gracias 👍
Excelente Video como siempre, bastantes juegos interesantes que ni sabia que existían, saludos.
Now this is some quality viewing! You my friend have a brand new subscriber.
This creator left out one of the best ever. ONE for the PS1
This brings back memories...
Love retro games I have all these on my modded original Xbox and Xbox 360.
Atomic Runner and Midnight Resistance were my favorite games in childhood. While contra series is kore popular, I had the most fun playing them. Midnight resistance in particular was very cool with their idea of purchasing cool guns and gadgets through keys at the end of the level.

@Orzuum I agree, however as Twinkle Tale was included, the distinction in the video seems murky.
Nice list of games,sadly the one game that im searching for a long time isn't here
That’s my next few days gone then, finding these roms
Like. Gran colección como siempre para empezar el año 2021.
Un abrazo y a cuidarse.
Gracias. Saludos
Contra and Metal Slug are the best from this genre.
Metal Slug!!! Not a bad one in the series. LOVE IT!!!
Qué versión del shock troopers 2 juegas que no se ralentiza?
I want to know how much they sell the sega megadrive cartridge when these games was released?
Pedazo video bueno para empezar el año.Feliz año
Gracias! 😊
Informative retro list. Perhaps I didn’t see ghost n ghouls, strider, ninja garden, hagane, and shinobi games?
