Arcade Longplay [338] Crime City

[@RAVETOR]

Finally I found this game after all these years of searching - THANK GOD... I loved playing this as a kid - I really enjoyed it.

[@cyberangel82]

Exactly my sentiment. I spent a lot of time searching for this. I couldn't remember the name.

I'm pretty sure Taito wanted make a Lethal Weapon game, but couldn't get the license, so they did it anyway as an imitation. And here it is. The two characters are clearly copies of Riggs and Murtaugh. They even named the main character as Tony "GIBSON".

[@KenMasters.]

J. Santiago That is incredible, all the tie-in games that Taito had alongside Konami and they couldn't get Lethal Weapon's license.

[@edwardgaines6561]

The 80s were awesome!

[@raiverns9620]

These two are from an older game called Chase H.Q yknow.

[@fancyactionnow2352]

I actually played this at my local Pizza Hut and never knew what the game was actually called

[@RobbedPierre]

This was Lethal Weapon, the game to me. I loved that movie and then this game came out. ❤

[@mariomalfatoni9938]

This and superman arcade need to be released as part of a ratio collection for the current consoles

[@neat3468]

Thankfully Crime City is out on PS4 and Nintendo Switch today or tomorrow

[@dluxx7283]

I don't know why, but the end credits of this game just cracked me up :) and this game has the coolest name entry screen ever. Great play through

[@k.delpino1124]

Lethal Weapon 2 was in theatres, when this game came out. Much better than the lethal weapon game for snes(1992).

[@edu_moonwalker]

I can see Shinobi, ESwat, Rolling Thunder, Secret Agent. I think that formula were one of the most popular when comes tô arcade games.

[@JRJrsx85]

Out tomorrow on Arcade Archives.

[@OdaVenom]

Hell. When I saw thumbnail I thought that guy with mustache, in rad pants and wife-beater is a main hero. Turns out it's Miami Vice/Lethal Weapon knockoff.

[@foughtthelol]

2:27 You se no-one else doing that in games after drinking a power up potion!

[@Emugifs]

Another great game by Taito!

[@darrenclements6028]

Crime City is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME and Spectacular With ABSOLUTELY AMAZING graphics and gameplay This is 2Fast 2Furious and 2Player action STUNNING levels and Boss battles that are Fast Furious and entertaining This is classic buddy cop game with a vengeance 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠

[@garagon31]

Wait, those guys all just broke out of prison, and they already have guns? An M60? Guys riding on highway traffic with assault rifles? It must suck to work a 9-5 job in Crime City.

[@tinfoil7463]

it's a game dude

[@dereklarner6298]

Only in America….thanks 2nd amendment….how many people will I trigger with that comment….ah, the gun puns…

[@cigoLxeL]

@@dereklarner6298 None, because nobody cares. Don't flatter yourself. @OP: Well, they _did_ call it "Crime City". I'd imagine the residents get used to it pretty quickly. That, or the cost of rent must be phenomenal there.

[@dereklarner6298]

@@cigoLxeL Am I willing to agitate to generate a conversation on the madness that is modern America when it comes to guns? Absolutely. Do I make comments with a need for replies to somehow inflate my self esteem or validate myself, as you seem to be suggesting? No; you’re the one who’s making ASSumptions.

[@armageddon1981]

I remember playing this when i was in 6th grade. I played this before school on some mornings

[@RetroRanger88]

Oh, man, I remember the bowling alley where I lived had this cabinet, and I would spend all my time at that, and not actually bowling. I used to think that the guys in the green jackets in level 2 were old men with beards, since I remember the green sweater being such a stereotypical "old man" thing, and the ski masks looked like an old man's hair and beard. 6 year old me was admittedly confused, but had a good time regardless.

[@Mirokuofnite]

Use to have this arcade machine back in the day. Good times were had.

[@niceguy60]

I still have the pcb

[@maxabeles]

all male children need to play this game. Its a rite of passage...

[@TheLYagAmi]

Bet! I played this when I was 12 years old all the way through with a friend who got the emulator from Singapore.

[@HovisSteve]

"Crush out the crime! We're the supreme law!"

[@luisreyes1963]

Great job! You certainly cleaned up the city.

[@floydjohnson7888]

This, fellow would-be game developers, was part of the reason later projects now get hold of localization teams. Cross-reference:Zero Wing ("All your base are belong to us.")

[@scottvska]

Taito used that same gunfire sound effect in a bunch of other games.

[@SMGrawks]

I think they were going for tongue-and-cheek on 80s cop films. Either way funny

[@aayushpal3135]

Imagine driving on the road and you see a person in a red shirt climb on top of your car.

[@Dixon-w3z]

I was at the dentist for a teeth cleaning, but we showed up i a bit early, and they had 2 arcade machines, and this was one of the games that was on there and i thought that it was a ripoff of GTA clearly i was wrong

[@tomypower4898]

the sands of space crime city arcade games

[@BigALittleARon]

If the criminals were really just breaking some guys out of prison, wouldn't it be smarter for them to leave their little drug baggies at home?

[@m.firzafadmaputra9569]

Tony Gibson & Raymond Broady of Chase H.Q. goes to Lethal Weapon game...... We need 4K Remake for Crime City alongside with other Taito video games that have weapons

[@MegaMrJIN]

Villains got attacked by a roll or punch or a kick and shot by a bullet , they end up bawling " Dry," or " Cry ."

[@Zontar82]

Ahh the twist at the end..who could've expected it..-_-

[@jroc00725]

Almost forgot about this game!!! WOW glad u put a video up bro:)

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

NO ONE expects the whole rottweiler-in-a-rolling-barrel trick. No one. Gets the cops every time. Victory is guaranteed. 💪😎🤟

[@AloanMoreira1]

9:15 - funny how robotic these 2 guys act.. hats off to this game as it got great gameplay and synth music

[@blukmage19typeR]

Companion game to the "Chase HQ" series that doesn't involve driving. Plays much like "Rolling Thunder."

[@willwalker7103]

My favorite game of all time

[@ABCMeEFG]

I thought the mayor was actually the final boss!

[@worldfallmusic]

ABCMeEFG that would’ve been a great twist

[@cigoLxeL]

So did I, because "The mayor had an evil twin!" was a plot point the game forgot to introduce ahead of time. Still, I crack up at the elderly mayor going "OH! MAAAAAAN", as if he just learned his mother mistakenly brought his pot brownies to her book club meeting.

[@thejackal007]

Let's go for a Kill Time? I want that for my new slogan.

[@darkerfalcon3747]

Fun Fact: This game and Darius II shares the same GAME OVER tagline.

[@Craudio171]

The console games of Lethal Weapon should have been like this.

Damn does everyone in Crime City own a Mazda RX-7? 🤔😂

[@jeremygordon6762]

@10:00 why is he so nonchalant about the dog that's running right at him while he's walking into that building? @2:14 are we not gonna mention all these dudes just chilling on top of cars on the freeway in stage 2 like it's nothing? and this dude is casually jumping from car to car? c'mon dude.

[@Alenza_31]

It's like Dirty Harry in arcade version.....legend game and movie in my childhood time

[@xsonaonesta]

good job!

[@deadlyraver4454]

heh. You didn't use the roll even once, not even in the air. I swear that was all I knew back then.

[@planourbano]

Great game!

[@spideyTB]

So cool

[@misteuraxe691]

Why are all the cops and soldiers' shirts open? Lol

[@megaben99]

I had an idea for a crossover sequel to this game. it would be both a sequel and would take place in sega's overlooked arcade game spikeout battle street. it would be called: Crime City: War comes to Diesel Town. it is just an idea I had but it is too detailed to talk about on youtube. If you like the idea let me know.

[@kgrfirdjy]

The real crime here is how bad the Engrish is in this game. Switching to lethal force seems a bit harsh, but then again, there are only so many bad guys that can be thriwn from the Nakatomi Plaza skyscraper!

[@niceguy60]

Should just call this Chicago City

[@richardhead6345]

I wish I could go for a kill time.

I'm not ready to call foul on 'em. I think you can get that close to a bullet without the hit detection going off if I remember Correctly.

[@JohnnyCasey]

BS

[@shaggyturtlestudios]

Nope. I’ve done that. The hit box is just small enough for that. Sorry to spoil your fun a year later. But that was legit. Call BS all you want tho. I’m sure I won’t stop you.

[@BarrySlisk]

Pretty bad graphics even for the time.

[@saporob]

It's a 1989 game...

[@BarrySlisk]

So?

[@shaggyturtlestudios]

I think this game actually look pretty good all things considered. It’s simple. Both in artstyle and animation. But still pretty bitchin. I wouldn’t call these graphics in any way “bad”.

[@Ахриманстоппер]

Even this, not too smart and not too good looking game is still better gameplay than god of war Ragnarok:)))
