Gals Panic 3... yes... I saw that

[@sonicmania9993]

Thanks for the Steamkey, Gary -- it's 2020's OUT OF SPACE from Behold Studios. A multiplayer space station sim with an interesting sense of humor, I'm diggin it!

[@Alianger]

Some of these are 1996 I think, like Virtual On and KI2

[@sonicmania9993]

Awesome video, thanks so much for this video catalog of great games! We now get to a period where a lot of the games look like Saturn or PS1 games, and of course some of them were indeed ported over there (including some real favorites: especially shooters, fighters, light-gun games). But there are plenty of surprises: - Biomechanical Toy, Desert War, MS Gundam Final Shooting, and Pirates look amazing -- I wanna play them right now! - Manx TT & Sky Target both had so-so home conversions on Saturn, but both look sweet in the arcade. - I never played Avengers in Galactic Storm, looks fun! Must have been one of Data East's last fighting games, and you would have thought it would have a home conversion with the Marvel connection ... but it had none until the currently-in-production Arcade 1UP 4-player X-Men cabinet (maybe the best from 1UP?!) - Surprised that Data East would release Backfire! and Kaneko would release Mille Miglia, old school isometric racers at such a late date and with so much more sophisticated racing game competition from Namco & Sega. At least Gaelco with World Rally 2 had a H2H gameplay mode, presumably on two screens. Speaking of the competition, it looks like several of Namco & Sega's awesome racing games never got home conversions even back then. They must have ben concerned about saturating the market? - Quite a few quiz games & puzzle-stacking games, just like on consoles of the time. I played hundreds of hours of Puzzle Bobble 2 back in the 90s, and so did my girlfriend at the time, so that's probably my most played/worn PS1 disc. Also a burst of games with Qix gameplay to uncover the pretty girl, which didn't make it home so often ... All three genres must have been pretty cheap to program, and reliable sources of income in arcades/bars. - Dragon Might is a cool looking fighter from Konami, reminiscent of their classic beatemups in its look. - Seeing Maddoman/Mudman in World Heroes Perfect gives me flashbacks -- that guy was so difficult to beat, ugh! - I don't know about you, but the prospect of playing Othello Derby against a virtual chimp woud certainly have brought me into the arcade quite often in 1995.

I found that 1995 was the year of Namco. To be blunt, I feel they dominated. So many heavy hitters like Soul Edge, Tekken, Ace Combat - franchises that are around even today - that were technologically ahead of everyone else. Capcom was still pumping out fighters - although highly polished (except maybe Street Fighter: The Movie), was looking quite technologically out of date. Even Sega who, just a few years earlier was blazing trails with 3 D technology seemed to have fallen a bit behind. An interesting discovery - as you mentioned - that some pretty cool racers from Sega and Namco didn't make it home! Cool Riders, Cyber Cycles, Rave Racer... Otherwise this was pretty much the year of the 1v1 fighting game! Sure there were a couple of interesting variants like Metamoqester - and I had no idea that Jackie Chan was digitized into a game - but this was, I think, a saturation point. The sad part is that most of them are competent and playable (compared to the experimental fighters from previous years) - but with titles like Voltage Fighter, Dragon Might, World Heroes etc. the market was just overloaded. If I had walked into an arcade and seen 2 dozen different fighting games, I probably would have just ignored them all and gone to play Sky Target... Definitely interesting that old school isometric racers were getting pumped out. Indeed it's hard to imagine back then anyone choosing to play one of those over their more hi-tech competition. BUT interestingly, when assembling this video - I actually spent more time with Kaneko's entry than Sega/Namcos... Oh and of course - we have to acknowledge the smut. Nothing like a little bit of nudity to entice a few quarters from a player ... And chimps + othello + derby racing = major WTF Japan?

Nice video, nice channel, and I love the decision of remove all mahjong/gambling games, subscribed.

Gracias Gary por otro excelente video!!! 🎮

[@brutaljustin1349]

Do you think the devs of Qix would had any idea there would be so many adult-oriented ripoffs of the game? lol

[@bluewolf8873]

Lol holy shit that took me by surprise 2:10 that's definitely what I thought it was.

[@gus5117]

Thanks dude! Amazing video.

[@chiissu]

Great vid. There's 40 I wanna try, 20 I knew of being arcade games and 2 I have played. I did order War Gods on N64 a bit ago and it should come in some time soon. Good choices of fighter in the fighting games, Shaia ands Karin in Gowcaizer, Mai Shiranui in KOF, The ones people care about

I configured Zombie Raid with Sinden lightgun last night. Just a tip... if you use FinalBurn Neo core you can use run-ahead lag reduction, it makes a difference in rail shooters. I chopped out 3 frames of lag.

Her zamanki gibi yine kapsamlı bir çalışma olmuş. İyi ve güzel bir video. Bu çalışmaların için teşekkürler. Fakat devamını beklediğimi bilmelisin. : ) Çünkü böylesine güzel işlere bizi alıştırdın.

[@GaryRetroGamer]

Teşekkürler! Beğendiğine sevindim. Devam filmi çok yakında...

Wonderful 😍

[@chiefflash]

Virtua Fighter Remix is a console game though. A lot of these are actually....

[@GaryRetroGamer]

Check your facts. Read: virtuafighter.fandom.com/wiki/Virtua_Fighter_Remix "It also had an arcade release on the ST-V (an arcade platform based on the Sega Saturn)"

[@chiefflash]

Forgot Mortal Kombat 3 and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

[@GaryRetroGamer]

They are both in the 1994 video -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/en7WpGmnrMh_qdU WIkipedia lists them as being released in 1995 - but MAME lists them as a 1994 release. These videos used the MAME dates.

[@bryansteele832]

@@GaryRetroGamer Well the MAME dates are incorrect.

[@GaryRetroGamer]

@@bryansteele832 Not that I'm doubting you (I'm not) - but do you have any factual evidence to back that up?

[@bryansteele832]

@@GaryRetroGamer Other than physically being at the arcade in my mall when it came out in April of 1995...no. Then 6 months later it came out on SNES and Ultimate MK3 was released in arcades. I was like well..WTF? I felt cheated. So yeah. All I can say was "I was there."

[@GaryRetroGamer]

@@bryansteele832 Ohhh, man - I also remember being annoyed about that UlimateMK3 release so close to the original release! Having said that, it may have been released to your local arcade in 1995 - but that doesn't mean it couldn't have released earlier in other markets/arcades - so, I'm going to assume that MAME is still correct. If you can find something that proves otherwise though - please let me know and I'll post an errata!
