When I was growing up, I really thought that ninjas, quicksand, and lava were going to be real life issues.

[@nobodycares9579]

You got Hamas, weather weapons, and climate change.

[@wilakt4fud]

Whoever trained this ninja army is straight up fired.

[@TheChoujinVirus]

my guess it was the Shredder

[@cairosilver2932]

They're bad!

[@minns5515]

😂😂😂

[@jadedandbitter]

It's the Law of Inverse Ninja Strength. The more ninjas there are, the less powerful they are to the point of being pure fodder; meanwhile a single ninja is unstoppable-even if that ninja is Chris Farley.

[@haciendocamino3680]

Genial​@@minns5515

[@iceveiled]

I never noticed that in level two, one of the cars delivering ninjas to their doom is a porsche 911. Possibly the only time in the history of anything that ninjas and porsches have collaborated. Gotta love the 80s.

[@Selvokaz]

"I'm Bad!"

[@plowking813]

love the sound of arcade machines, each trying to attract you to drop a quarter in and be hooked for hours with the smell of pizza, popcorn and cigs

[@Jayce_Alexander]

1 quarter will get you hooked in for about 3 minutes. :P

[@TromaDogg]

Great no hit playthrough and the fact that you finish off every boss with the powered up fist attack just makes it even better.

[@kingjulien9525]

You got my respect.It's the 1st time I saw someone playing the whole game without taking a single hit.And I thought I was good.

[@matthewvice721]

Ah, I remember this game. When I was a kid, there was a videogame shop in the mall my mother used to do her weekly grocery shopping. I used to hang out in that shop, and right near the door, they had two arcade machines, the one was Street Fighter II Champion Edition - the first versus fighter I ever played - and on the other side was this game. I mostly went there to play Street Fighter, but when the older, skilled kids who had the money and ability to play for hours were hogging the machine, I'd play this game instead.

[@DownSouthTrillipino]

Great game, questionable ending. President Ronnie, the Dudes sacrificed their bodies to save you, yet your reward for them is to go out for a burger? *Cris Carter voice* C'mon man! *Cris Carter voice*. The Dudes deserve a Presidential Medal of Freedom, a Congressional resolution honoring them, and/or even a book or movie deal chronicling their quest to rescue you! That would be a much better ending.

[@randydubin7118]

Romulo Buen One of the very few examples that the real world is better than what is depicted in video games.

[@JFJD]

Considering the Dudes were recruited by questioning their “badness” - which they feel the need to reaffirm at the end of every level - I’m pretty sure they were being strung along from the beginning.

[@lordsnivyofnottingham2948]

Maybe he did give them special awards and everything, and the burger was merely an offer for lunch. After all, during the ending, notice how you have ranks outside the White House; maybe it is an award ceremony, and President Ronnie just wasn't finished with his burger.

[@Noname15514]

A burger is as Americana as it get.

[@ReverendSyn]

Calm down, you're scaring the Chelnov.

[@Gigas0101]

I couldn't get over every level ending with "AHM BAD!"

[@Albert8044]

Bad Dudes also drew inspiration and reference to an 80's movie call American Ninja with Michael Dudikoff.

[@KenMasters.]

During the dance scene from Kickboxer, Van Damme dressed as Agent Spike (Bad Dude #1).

[@Albert8044]

If a Bad Dudes vs Dragon Ninja was an actual movie adaptation during the late 80's, JCVD and Michael Dudikoff would make perfect partners in the movie.

[@KenMasters.]

@@Albert8044 Well... Actor homages as Blade & Striker would be a little too close to home for their roles, and plus Van Damme isn't American enough which would later ruin Guile in Street Fighter - The Ultimate Battle, unless you want to watch Double Impact to see an unofficial Bad Dudes film starring Van Damme. The actors I was thinking more for Blade & Striker were Patrick Swayze and Don Swayze.

[@Albert8044]

If you remember the movie American Ninja 4 with Michael Dudikoff and David Bradley, I see them as an influence to Blade and Striker from Bad Dudes if a video game movie adaptation was possible.

[@thickFruitJuice]

INSERT COIN? Naughty kids in my hood would insert a curled up wire in the COIN slot and dupe the machine into thinking coins had been inserted. Thanx for childhood memories.

[@sausageslaps]

first boss is non other than karnov, awesome

[@jasonulloa]

Even has bits of the Karnov theme playing during the boss fight.

[@kraitel]

And it has bits too from Rastan xD

[@youdontknowme8129]

And Karnov comes back in the game all zombified.

[@gamerzero7735]

Desperate for money and having squandered all the treasure he obtained in his first game, Karnov joined the Dragon Ninja.

[@Lionhart526]

And did they ever get their money's worth from him? How many times did he show up? lol

[@dinoco3527]

This was my favorite game in the 80s. Spent most of my money on playing Bad Dudes. Brings back memories

[@raultellez8043]

Sin duda un clásico que nunca olvidaré

[@IvanRodriguez-lo8on]

President: "Hey dudes thanks for rescuing me, let's go for a burger.... Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Dudes: "I'm going to give you a burger, son of the!!!...."

[@swes9598]

Maybe the burgers are the first payment before a cool several mil? $$$

[@Brucebruirvin]

Oh, god, yes. Loved this arcade when I was a kid... and it was SO long ago :)

[@Noname15514]

Awesome documentary!

[@kamalmiah1984]

love how the women casually jogs and then pauses to look back and then repeat until I get a hurricane kick to my face! lol I grew up with this game, memories forever in my mind

[@ShinobiEngineer]

Thanks for posting this... I could never finish it back then!

[@Migtron83]

Good game play takes me way back.. so many quarters well spent

[@megatron8461]

Being a bad dude seems to be an easy trade. And I couldn’t wait to be one of them.

[@Bloodreign1]

Thank you Data East Arcade Classics on Wii for having the arcade version on you. Yes the NES version is cool, and I own it too, but the speech on that, the guy hardly sounds like he's Bad.

[@falconone7230]

Lmao! I'm Bad! Used to love this in the arcade!

[@Flint_Ironstagg]

to this day, the detailed, intricate plot and masterful storytelling of bad dudes has yet to be equaled by any other video game

[@ZoneyDuel]

Robocop: "We're is Cain? Duffy: "I told ya I don't know! *Break screen* Urgh! 0:45

[@ashholly1872]

The ending is classic!

[@sexcorpio6976]

Dios mio, que cursilada de trama, y pensar que alguna vez estuve enviciado, de verdad que cuan ingenuo fuí... En cierto sentido me sigue gustando, solo que ahora empatizando con los ninjas. En cualquier caso es nostálgico y se agradece la subida

[@benndickerson4568]

I had a paper route back in 1989-1994 ..!!! I spent almost all my earnings on this game, Street fighter 2 , and Ninja turtles at the walmart arcade . lol I never go past the Green ninja in the sewer that multiplied himself..

[@upemaiden]

Este fue el primer video juego que me cautivo y me volvió fanático de los vídeos juegos.

[@jesusalexanderpacheco2807]

Buenos juegos nostalgicos de la infancia. Excelente.

[@kasbachaqra]

Jesus Alexander Pacheco 😢😢😢yes

[@Hi-Five-Ghost]

Fat dude seemed generally surprised by that energy fist at the end. He sat up like “da fuck?!”

[@japhetromero3473]

in the second level. the music sounds like castlevania 2:05

[@bananawolf2304]

I can hear mordeaci and rigby playing this in my head and it is glorious.

[@konstantinafinokaliotou2856]

I always liked that game! Was one of my favorite

[@funimax4236]

Its such a short game but back then it was a daunting task to finish this game CLASSIC!!!!

[@tuxysmagicaljukebox5431]

One of the best arcade games ever.

[@Crowley9]

At first I thought he shouts "DIET!" when picking up soda cans.

[@IrishCarney]

And it gets him so mad that it's a power up

[@konstantinafinokaliotou2856]

He is saying got it

[@konstantinafinokaliotou2856]

It doesn't sound clearly cause the sounds weren't than good at that time

[@fernandocorreia8095]

Olá, boa tarde. É um grande jogo, já conhecia o jogo da arcada em 1988, eram 2 créditos com uma moeda de 25 escudos. Para mim, este jogo ultrapassa muitos dos jogos de agora; é impressionante como o jogador conhece as táticas de derrotar os inimigos. Deve conhecer o jogo de trás para a frente. PARABÉNS... 👍👏

[@brasileirandoporai7875]

Foi bem o que eu pensei... O cara manja muito, quando eu era moleque a primeira vez que cheguei nessa parte do caminhão 0:46 foi uma emoção que nunca vou me esquecer, era um poder de processamento que me marcou, tantos inimigos de uma vez só. E no chefe, sonhava em conseguir fazer aquele PORRADÃO de fogo e vencê-lo, nunca consegui !

[@DJTwenty2020]

Second boss looked well difficult! I always remember this game having great title screen music on the amstrad cpc

[@danielpaladinthesage78bail11]

So this is bad dudes!? I didn't know they had a game like this!!

[@UnknownUserZeroZero]

Thanks for uploading this, it brings back so many memories! By the way, what other game/s has Karnov been in? I recognise the character but I can't place where I know him from.

[@aunidade6189]

My classic nostalgic memory. thks

[@smoothALOE]

President Ronnie says... "Let's go for a burger!" 👍🏻

[@GaryBeltz]

It does the same thing in the NES version except the president in that one is modeled after George H. W. Bush since it came out after he was elected. This version came out while Ronald Regan was still in office.

[@risaman3953]

Hello, how do you do the spinning kick in the air? Thank you

[@rayinpau.s.a.6351]

I remember my Brother being so good on this game . He only needed 1 Quarter to rescue Ronald Regan . Of course he played it everyday on his job for hours !

[@9isuzu5]

Karnov was also featured as a boss character / playable fighter in the Data East game Fighter's History. Arcade and Sega Saturn (Import).

[@drtalkboxsa9412]

This game was my obsession . My mother would send me to the post office, I do exactly as she instructed .... BUT pass by the arcade and come back home 5 hours later

[@JAWZMUZIK1]

Nice playing bro!

[@gnussyflarkin]

A really nice touch with the Karnov music, too.

[@guilhermegmoreir]

This game has so much cheese on it, that the moment I hit the play button on this video, an army of rats invaded my bedroom.

[@Steambull1]

How come the action button does punches when there's nobody in range, but ALWAYS kicks instead if there's someone close enough to be hit? Excluding the charged punch, of course.

[@kingjulien9525]

Thanks Marcelo,since You know how it workks very well,can you teach me where I can find this game,and the steps by steps so I can make it work,please.

[@Lauren_Tyler]

How did you do the fireball punch against Karnov at the end of the first stage?

[@ETM316]

+LarcenTyler You charge it up by holding down the punch button.

[@phantomthiefjoker939]

Hold down the attack button to charge and release.

[@manuelcarballo4297]

Ni un solo golpe en toda la partida. Menudo maquina!!

[@ronalpilon]

Joguei isso nos anos de 1990 e 1991 e hoje é 11/09/2023. Lembro-me exatamente dos anos, porque na cidade onde joguei isso, no fliperama local, eu acabara de me mudar exatamente em dezembro de 1990. Nas fases, por si só, não tinha tanto problema. Só qdo os vilões se amontoavam e cercavam, ou vinham de baixo ou de cima (dependendo de onde estivesse). Na fase da floresta, a quarta fase, tinham os cães (que apareciam até na primeira fase). Aquele ninja vermelho era visado, pois ele deixava itens, como as armas, o relógio e as lifes. O grande desafio era enfrentar os chefes , chamados lá de mestres. Eu lutava assim: desferia uma voadora (ou chute saltando) e recuava, pra depois dar outro ataque. Variava também com chutes normais, golpes de nunchako (aqueles dois bastões unidos pela corrente) ou faca (dependendo do que tivesse) e aquele soco especial. Este, chamado lá de soco energético, inspirava cuidados, porque requeria aproximação do inimigo. Aproximar-se dos vilões de fases requeria cautela e, geralmente quem fazia isso melhor eram os gamers mais habilidosos e/ou mais experientes. Isso, eu fazia mais contra o primeiro chefe (o cuspidor de fogo), o grandalhão da floresta, o do trem (da kusarigama - corrente com foice) e o da caverna ( o careca de bastão). Contra o segundo, da fase do treminhão, eu acionava o soco flamejante e esperava ele chegar ali na cabine. Quando chegava eu soltava o golpe e agachado desferia os golpes nele. O nunchako, apesar de ter a vantagem de poder usar mais à distância, no caso dele a faca era melhor, mais rápida. Eu no teto da cabine e ele no capô, de frente ao para brisa. Fácil desferir as facadas na cara dele, que é baixinho. Contra o chefe da terceira fase, a das galerias de esgoto, esperava ele completar as multiplicações, com um soco energético pronto. Quando todos os clones se materializavam de fato, eu desferia um soco, que matava vários, mas não todos. Aí eu terminava de acabar com os demais. O terceiro chefe, por si só, não era tão ruim. O problema era a arte dele de se multiplicar. Era, visualmente, um ninja como aqueles comuns, mas usava roupa verde. A partir do trem, aparecia outra versão do primeiro chefe, só que de pele mais escura. Lá na última fase, antes de enfrentar o temido Dragon Ninja, o último vilão, ainda tinha que enfrentar os clones de todos os chefes derrotados. No andar de baixo tinham o gordão de pele mais escura e um clone do quarto chefe, mas de arnadura dourada. Depois de subir o elevador, ainda tinha que enfrentar os demais chefes, um por um. Pior: o risco de não chegar ao líder máximo, era grande. Passei por tudo isso, só que qdo cheguei no Dragon Ninja, perdi. Até hoje não me conformo. Depois disso, não joguei mais este jogo. Logo depois, levaram a máquina para outro fliperama, pra dar lugar a outra máquina.

[@yaovit8754]

Great musics!

[@jcp591]

What does the "[256]" mean? Can anyone explain?

[@CarlosShaoKahn569]

New inscribed! This game have the first game playing in life

[@TheVisualAddiction]

Dang, I remember making the noises from this game on the playground!

[@javo_roma]

One kick and they are down?, and they dare to call themselves "ninjas"?... Shame on them!

[@agriosbr]

Conservation of Ninjutsu: In any martial arts fight, there is only a finite amount of ninjutsu available to each side in a given encounter. As a result, one Ninja is a deadly threat, but an army of them are cannon fodder.

[@WuPac216]

They pussy

[@RaineyHayes]

That's just how powerful your character is.

[@kaguth]

They're good ninjas but they just aren't bad enough. The BAD DUDES grew up on the hardcore streets of America Town USA State. You want to know how the cold war ended? I've got two words for you: one starts with B and the other starts with D.

[@josheldridge8546]

bad dudes were the prequel to hoktu no ken. this is canon.

[@jmj6065]

I don't understand where is the ninja Dagon? ?/ I heard it's the Japanese version

[@dangsam]

The scars of the cheeks that were created while playing this game still remain for More than 30 years

[@lfcsimon6718]

Omg memories, playing it now couldn’t remember the name 👍

[@fredrikthorsen1075]

What does "oh wan itsowa" mean?

[@BETMARKonTube]

Good idea to post both versions :)

[@willybff]

A agosto 2019 que buen juego mis hijos no dejaban de ver como jugabas y eres muy vicioso no dejaste que te tocaran un pelo hahaha

[@sweetexorcist7322]

Omg the memories

[@naseerulkabir1504]

this was a classic beat em up 2 player was addictive

[@jarrodjohnson1583]

I downloaded this game a numerous amount of times, but, none of the downloads work for the MAME. Is it because of the file size? Where can I get one that works?

[@Deathskate]

Hay que probar con varios algunos funcionan y otros no o descárgalo con exe ejecutador y lo abres directamente

[@ninoallende9532]

Vaya recuerdos,bar del barrio y máquinas

[@nolasaintspelicans9592]

[@Jamester2]

Wow Flawless Victory :O

[@eyelove_owlcity]

Who's Bad?

[@DeadRaymanWalking]

After the "I'm BAD!" I want to say "and that's good!" (Wreck-It Ralph much?)

[@IAMYOURSYSTEMFAILURE]

Hilarious! After I would hear "I'm bad", I say "Shamone! He he!"

[@alberick555]

I was always wondering what the 'duplicate' ninja in the sewers is saying??

[@bancoran]

"Konnichi-wa!"

[@Sub___Zero]

Ka kak chi u klak klak

[@guilhermegmoreir]

*Whack this one!*

[@kwokatmooff]

[@lkjyuiop1987]

Ohh how I would love to play this again stoned and with a friend Was a fun game kinda hard for me as a kid

[@cobra.x666]

Haha 😂 I love the ending... Let’s go for a Burger 🍔

[@alibaba-qq9en]

I was playing this in atari saloons..good times ❤

[@Samsgarden]

Both were Data East games. You'll also notice the same punching sounds as Robocop, which appears to use he same platform.

[@theblackgoatofthewoods]

Allways though the green ninjaboss was so cool.... And what president would say "Thank you for the rescue. Now lets grab a burger!"

[@Surfer041]

Dude, you are one BAD DUDE! yOU DIDN'T TAKE ONE HIT!

[@RyoSaebaAGK]

Actually the original was DragonNinja (japan), wich in the end you see the credits whit the statue of the "bad dudes" wile the dude is lean on a bridge railing watching the sunset and on the statue you see every enemy and its name.Also the screams of the main characters are different from Bad dudes vs Dragonninja.

[@marceloverdugo3954]

7:36 incredible part...the sound of dog and the fire ninja was break your ass, completely

[@Yurusenai]

Castlevania Vampire Kiss / Dracula X music tune in second stage, ripped from song named Bloodlines (first stage)

[@antediluvian99]

Got it!!

[@eljotaeme1516]

Great! A good action game

[@WanderlustZero]

Every day I pray thanks to The Emperor of Mankind for Data East games having existed

[@jc_malone8217]

2:14 I've heard that music in Castlevania games. Same thing!

[@miguelfranciscocamacho1457]

Buenas tardes adonde puedo bajar o descargar este juego para androit o pc gracias

[@jk1138]

The Bad Dudes got a lesson in Reaganomics. 😂

[@kingjulien9525]

It doesn't really matter even if it was re-re-recorded.you are good.Where can I download and play it.It's been awhile I haven't play that.It was my best game back in the day.

[@diggidy28]

I tried to play this game on NES and I don't think any of the sound effects were on it. "ah" "ah" "ah" "got it!" Am I mistaken?

[@brentwerner6103]

This is awesome 80s cheese. I love it!

[@agus1977blue]
