Arcade Longplay [344] 1944: The Loop Master

[@underthepale]

I love the irrationally huge war machines in this game, especially the final boss. Can you imagine how much energy it'd take to get such a thing to move? Man I miss the 90s.

[@solarflare9078]

This game was released in 2000, not the 90s

[@RGBtheRhinoOverwatcher]

@Radioactive Pineapple Productions In addition to playing Red Dead Revolver January 15, 2002 prototype on PCSX2, I gonna need to play 1944: The Loop Master on MAME.

[@CAL1MBO]

Yeah the fucking massive things are so funny

[@Aquatarkus96]

I remember going camping with family in the middle of nowhere colorado. The building with showers and restrooms had a small arcade with this machine next to a pinball machine in the corner. I spent way too much time playing this lol

[@PUNISHERWarzone87]

Love this game series sooo much but I can't help but ever time I play them especially this game I always say, "Because heavy metal existed in the 1944. This game is so historically accurate."

[@Ribbo]

2:45 guy sunbathing on the beach runs to the building for safety and you blow it up 😂

[@darrenclements6028]

1944 The Loop Master is ABSOLUTE Masterpiece from capcom With STUNNING graphics and STUNNINGLY AMAZING gameplay A classic arcade game with attitude 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@cumulushalo576]

Ive been hooked on these shooters for awhile now and was happy to find the loop master. I found out very quickly this game hates the player. No extra lives, every level becomes a bullet hell that is as hard as the bosses, you get a charged up shot that takes to long to be really useful, the final stage bosses are all timed and it is a very short time. I quickly beat all the shooters I play the day I start them. I'm on day 4 with this game having started it over mutiple times. This game has no love for anyone who plays it. Good luck to all who give it a shot.

[@TheIrland09]

No love except for your quarters.

[@jsm2p12]

I remember using like 70 quarters just to beat this game. Sure my score resets to 0 but I never gave a shit about the score anyway since I'm terrible at these types of games but I'll still play them for fun.

[@ffalcoff]

This player has some superhuman skills...

[@jezhy]

Love the game, was a pretty good at it but this walkthrough is incredible! Pure skill!

[@tomypower4898]

Yes Miss Yes Bomb

[@DarkDev_YT]

this a masterpiece in 2022

[@metalmat3651]

Just recently discovered this gem, holy crap is it awesome!

[@vedanadleeh3908]

One of the most memorable games jn my entire gaming life. Beat this game twice one both planes.

[@LostSoulSilver]

This game is the true meaning of evolution, especially compared with 1942 on the NES

[@TheIrland09]

The most 80's WW2 game ever made.

[@ReverseInReverse]

I always like to imagine what kind of hilarity would ensue if you could somehow play a Laser Side Fighter. - More powerful Laser armament, upgrades with Shot items - Uses its own Side Fighters, is faster - Can equip Bombs, has a smaller hitbox - Has only two hitpoints, but can upgrade with Power items 1P is the Laser-type Side Fighter sprite, and 2P is the Shot-type sprite (But they both fire Lasers).

[@dluxx7283]

The final mobile fortress is friggin huge. Its stats are pretty impressive..the length of roughly nine football fields. Imagine the workcrew hehe I could never pronounce the damn name of it properly One of my fav capcom arcade shmups

[@RocMegamanX]

Love how Capcom never made a "1945" game, just to complete the set.

[@commmander64]

They couldn't. Strikers 1945 did it first.

[@Josep_Hernandez_Lujan]

Despite there being 5 games in the series, but they made one called 19XX

[@stratogustav]

The SNK ones count for those..

[@TankMasterGo]

@Hunter6213 yeah after WW2 ended u must fight the S O V I E T U N I O N

[@TheIrland09]

The final boss is Hitler in a plane.

[@Steve-d3g]

Now I definitely need the Capcom Arcade 1up!

[@zclary923]

Sucks it doesn't come out until 2019...

[@TboneTenEighties]

Thinking about picking that cab up too.

[@takethebluepillnottheredpi584]

You in luck...Capcom just announced this and 15 other games on home Arcade cabinet stick.

[@Osio2000]

Este juego es una pasada, la dificultad, la música y los gráficos para su tiempo son impresionantes, yo le e dado sus buenas retas en el emulador, pero me gustaría la verdad jugarlo en un arcade, este a diferencia del aero fighters, se siente más fresco y como no es futurista ni tan inverosímil en dificultad como el aero fighters, se me hace muy atractivo! 😃❤

[@supershyguymkw2107]

Pues a mí me parece más difícil este juego que los Sonic Wings (Aero Fighters) he completado todos los de la serie con 3 a 5 créditos, pero este 1944: the loop master me parece brutal en su dificultad mi mejor récord fue de 7 créditos, Personalmente me gustan ligeramente más los Sonic Wings, ya que este 1944 es algo repetitivo y solo tiene 2 naves.

[@solarflare9078]

Hands down THE hardest arcade game to 1CC.

[@ΝίκοςΒεζδρεβάνης]

@Solar Flare, you were right! SCHLAUCHI is an expert player!

[@alexandrosalfieris3441]

Amazing game 🎉

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

RocMegamanX Probably they did not figuring that 1945 was the year WWII officially ended.

[@Josep_Hernandez_Lujan]

Japan & Russia are still in despite over some islands, so technically it didn't end. It's still souring relations between Japan and Russia to this day. Ironically had the USSR not dissolved they'd probably be returned by now.

[@antemisura601]

I hope we get a capcom collection volume 3

[@briansetoe]

reinforcements with lasers... pretty epic.

[@animemangafan1987]

This arcade game needs to be rereleased on the home consoles in the future but that's up to Capcom to decide

[@jasonlee7816]

it is also up to Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony as they have the final say if they want it on the PlayStation, Switch, Xbox console

[@bassmann666]

It's available on ps4 and ps5 under the Capcom Arcade Stadium reléase!

[@inhinh9549]

bullets fly like rain is hard to avoid.

[@lordgargamel4124]

Im very very meticulous about the shmups i hold in high regard. For me in shmups, its not just about gameplay, bit its also the visual effects the game has. I love the hit effects this game has. The sparks and flare they give off. Explosion effects are a big one for me. I find alot of Shmups lacking in that department. Its disappointing.

[@MVA74]

hidden gem. very nice game

[@Theshark15z]

The Music for Stage 4 sounds like La Grange. :)

[@xXHELLZER0Xx]

epic intro

[@MonkeyLuffy2K5]

2045 : The CODM Master !

[@thegreatagitator4675]

underthepale Has nothing to do with the 90s. The idea of land battleships and dreadnoughts goes back to before WW1...heck, even further than that.

[@tablettablet3028]

Do you think this game will get the arcade archives treatment for switch?

[@jasonlee7816]

unless Capcom signs an agreement with the publisher that ports the arcade games on the consoles and pay Capcom a license fee i doubt it’ll happen or it won’t happen

[@BillGuldenschuh]

Sega had a game called Bomber Raid which was identical to this.

[@PaperBanjo64]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Capcom Arcade Stadium was the first time this was ever available on console?

[@MossA-ox7ys]

Game looks hard as piss

[@ItsMeRifan41]

yes that bit like sky force/sky force reloaded Symbian version but diffrent developers

[@DerekBurns-qe1xo]

WHO ARE YOU FIGHTING???

[@iori97combo]

19xx best one

[@johngavalas712]

This was bullet hell in a sense

[@MaximilianRehkopf]

Uhhh... aspect ratio? :S

[@Mumugen]

This is God, you are watching God play!!

[@Yogurt10000]

2:17 what music?

[@Yogurt10000]

Booker T. & The MG's - Green Onions

[@ΝίκοςΒεζδρεβάνης]

What's your score?

[@ΝίκοςΒεζδρεβάνης]

How many stages does this game have?

[@ΝίκοςΒεζδρεβάνης]

Ahh! Now I know! Sixteen stages AND one million, two hundred, eighty-two thousand, six hundred and fifty points!

[@carlos200022]

with cheap ?

[@porkflaps4717]

You must not have seen Schlauchi's skills before this

[@joaquinumpierrez9940]

why this have the name "1944"????

[@Josep_Hernandez_Lujan]

If it was 1945 you'd have to nuke Japan?

[@joshbrekke6374]

I got a fucking headache watching this, excessive on screen projectiles & constant flashing. Holy shit, too intense for my taste

[@HunterTinsley]

Is this tool assisted? No damage is taken until the very end.

[@hurricanemixer]

Longplays are all tool-assisted.

[@ΝίκοςΒεζδρεβάνης]

Did you use savestates?

[@turbohusque]

Gameplay looks awesome, but the music is generic biker bar butt rock. Doesn't fit the game.

[@inhinh9549]

Very Good Game Have PS2?

[@luisreyes1963]

Sorry. Arcade only.

[@Theshark15z]

@@luisreyes1963 Yup, this one along with War Of Destiny were Arcade exclusive.

[@bassmann666]

Now on ps4 and ps5

[@lilytutorial8791]
