This game was ridiculously EPIC Not only was the gameplay such an epic fast paced visual effect that tested your vertigo but, if you ever saw the arcade machine itself, you knew you were in for a fun play~ Two model jet ski's that swayed with the direction you were moving, a model uzi guncon mounted at the front that had kickback to let you feel the rapid fire. Needless to say, you couldn't exactly dual wield 1st & 2nd player gun controllers because of the machine's structure but, this was one of those games with so much to offer from its machine that, you could get an enjoyable kick out of playing it in 1 player.
Dude I loved this game, if only because of the giant yellow machine guns that vibrated when you fired on screen. It was also super satisfying to shoot things. I think a new game for the Switch would be really cool to make.
You can use the nunchucks to aim, and the built in rumble feature can mimic shots. Plus if done similarly to this, it'd be kinda cartoonish and light-hearted, which would compliment Nintendo very well.
For sure, the haptics really make this series stand out. I have one of the LA Machineguns rumble guns sitting in my room. Not sure if the motor works nor what to do with it but was thinking of one day building some sort of VR project with it.
it was all thanks to Yu Suzuki. I do not like Shenmue but I bought the third game just to support Yu Suzuki because he made my childhood amazing by designing the model 1-3 arcade boards
Me and my dad used to play this everytime we went to the arcade. I never knew how competitive my dad was until we played this game. Always had to get the most points 😅
Funny thing was I use to work at Gameworks Arcade in Ontario Ca. and the Vegas stage had a different background. It had a GameWorks right next to the Coke bottle where it was for real.
I normally use a mouse for Wii games rather than a Wii remote, since I use an emulator. I did plan to play the Wii version eventually, but I'm in no hurry to do it, since I already did the arcade version of both games.
Hey... I wanna ask an arcade game.. Its shooting with gun (physically) identic to lamachineguns The theme is about army war... I only remember to shoot "ammo" for continuous shoot.. If not, it will shoot 3round- 3 round-3round And the first stage boss is vs comanche helicopter.... Thank you
@@mokujin6507 This game is 3D right? Also sort of sounds like Behind Enemy Lines, but I'm not sure about that. It shouldn't be super hard to find, because there were a limited number of games of this type.
This was always one of my favorite arcade games, right up there with Crisis Zone. Watching the enemies get knocked around by your fire, seeing them take visible damage- there was such a visceral satisfaction to that.
My childhood favorites. I used to play this game along with Gunblade NY all the time when I was a little kid. I have both of them on the Wii so I can play at home. No quarters required

The very intricate attention to detail of Los Angeles,the impressive storyline,and many other excellent progressive notes.Sega has really hit the groovy mark on this one!!!
This and Gunblade are still awesome today. What's unique about them from other on-rails shooters is that your gunship *moves dynamically*. It will swerve around to get better firing angles and actually tries to dodge enemy missiles on it's own, you know, like a pilot is trained to do instead of hover in place like an idiot. You can't always dodge everything and you'll need to shoot some missiles down, but it actually feels like you're in a ship that's tactically flying around and making the most of it's aerial superiority instead of a floating box that only moves to a preset point and can't dodge anything.
While not too well known, this one actually did come out on the Wii along with Gunblade NY. The compilation was called Arcade Hits Pack: Gunblade NY & LA Machineguns.
The Las Vegas stage is amazing to me. Everything is pretty much right where it's supposed to be on blvd/Tropicana. The Luxor Pyramid is waaay in the back past Mandalay, and they didnt throw in the "iconic" neon cowboy.
Used to love light-gun arcade games but don't recall playing this one. This is one of those games where there's so much going on that I probably wouldn't have been able to comprehend it lol.
I can take a look at this tomorrow, but I don't remember running into any trouble on this game before. Are you using a regular lightgun? I have only played this game with a mouse.
I tested it out and it seems to me like you just click in the calibration screen and move the cursor to all corners of the windows so that min and max is 0 and 255. I found that my mouse cursor didn't 100% match the in game cursor, but I would hide my regular mouse cursor for this.
I remember the rumbling floor everytime an explosion happened on screen. Absolutely made the game even more intense.
Who remembers the shakey guns every time you fired?
Over Baked Pie ah yes, I put my chin on them when I was young because it felt relaxing when it was shaking XD.
Absolutely. Back in 2000 at my local GameWorks, I always used both at the same time. Impossible to control, but a total rush!
I only have (played) the Wii version, which have vibration option.
I remember these. I still play Time Crisis when I go to arcades
I use both guns for full satisfaction xD
This game was ridiculously EPIC

Why the switch?

Sega were GODS of the arcade world. 60fps or NOTHING!!
it was all thanks to Yu Suzuki. I do not like Shenmue but I bought the third game just to support Yu Suzuki because he made my childhood amazing by designing the model 1-3 arcade boards
also namco is a god for make arcade games with these 3d graphics in the 90s
@@tHeWasTeDYouTh Naomi was the star of their arcade boards. It was all downhill after that.
Eagle rock California
Not to mention most of their 3D games were so high in resolution.
どうやっても無理そうな場所入っていくのホント好き
This was in Dave & Busters for a lonnng time.. I was devastated when they got rid of it.
I loved the shaking guns! I was that guy who put in enough credits to hog both guns to myself XD
My hands went numb just watching this
Depends on the location, there will be a shaky guns or not.
Me and my dad used to play this everytime we went to the arcade. I never knew how competitive my dad was until we played this game. Always had to get the most points 😅
I played this game last month in Akihabara Hey.

This is the first time I've seen this game played without any graphical glitches!!

Do you have a Nintendo Wii? So you can play Gunblade NY and L.A. Machinguns with 2 players and using Wii Zapper.
I normally use a mouse for Wii games rather than a Wii remote, since I use an emulator. I did plan to play the Wii version eventually, but I'm in no hurry to do it, since I already did the arcade version of both games.
Wii was a downgraded version of both games and was censored.
good job mark
If this was Newsom's California, the whole department would be given the chair.
God Bless these Gentlemen however.
So the main villain/final boss is Masayoshi Shido from Persona 5.
Is there any game after this like a sequel?

Then They Have LA Machine Guns
What's Next?
Twin Cities Monsters?
@@samuelcarrasquillo4590 No, the next game was planned under the title "Jet Squadron" before cancellation.

I wanna ask an arcade game..
Its shooting with gun (physically) identic to lamachineguns
The theme is about army war...
I only remember to shoot "ammo" for continuous shoot..
If not, it will shoot 3round- 3 round-3round
And the first stage boss is vs comanche helicopter....

I love SEGA so much. I really *REALLY* wanted this in Sonic Forces.
Nice avatar
What do you mean by that? Did you want this as a bonus game in Forces? Or a level in the game like this?
@@jaypostromboli-jpgamertv-457 Oh I guess this was an old comment but I dunno I guess as a bonus game. Would been cool or something.
@@chocobochick5390 Agreed. Yakuza does that as well. Maybe it'll find it's way into a Yakuza game.
Another SEGA game that never saw a home release..SMH
While not too well known, this one actually did come out on the Wii along with Gunblade NY. The compilation was called Arcade Hits Pack: Gunblade NY & LA Machineguns.
They got released on the Nintendo Wii back in its heyday
the cop guy: They Are Monsters! Can't stop'em!
the enemy: i'm not a monster! i'm a cyborg terrorist!
Las Vegas is my favorite stage because they pack waaaaaay too many cameos and parodies in.
Virtual on comes to mind
Co-developed by the same team, same composer as well. That stage select menu looks straight out of Oratorio Tangram!
Stage 2 Boss looked like it came straight from Virtual On.
I love this era of arcade games, those were the days.
Avoid shooting the innocents are so hard and challenging unlike Gunblade NY
I ended up shooting them all
i saw Sonic Adventure in Easter Egg
Brings back memories of going to the arcade in my home town and shooting those giant plastic guns that rumble as you shoot them at a big screen!
yeah good old days

It's crazy this game was in the arcades in 1998, that's over 23 years ago
20:29 The last stage's music is epic!

The Las Vegas stage is amazing to me. Everything is pretty much right where it's supposed to be on blvd/Tropicana. The Luxor Pyramid is waaay in the back past Mandalay, and they didnt throw in the "iconic" neon cowboy.

This game was created 1999, which already had early concept of destructible environment graphics.

If I was on the helicopter in this game and the pilot was flying around chaotically like this, I'd get motion sick and fall off into the water! XD
sega was way ahead of their time
Oh my God... This is my favorite one.. Shame that I never played until the end and they were dicommision at my place 😔😔😔
Looked nothing like downtown LA but still fun none the less. I miss the old generation of games. They were actually fun and exciting.
Used to love light-gun arcade games but don't recall playing this one. This is one of those games where there's so much going on that I probably wouldn't have been able to comprehend it lol.

Pretty damn impressive graphics for 1999.

Looking at the absurd amount of swerving, braking, and flashing in the game. Im surprised they didn’t have a epilepsy warning.
This game had some really cool designs in it. Both in terms of the environment and the enemies.
It's a good game...… but the use of a helicopter in Gunblade has an underdog charm over the jetbikes of LA Machineguns.
Is This Better Than Gunblade Ny Arcade 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊Says Yes 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊Request Me Yes 😊😊😊😊😊
What happens if you run out of time in the final battle?
Compared to other arcade light-gun games, this one kinda sucked.
