Arcade Longplay [767] UFO Robo Dangar

[@UltraHealthyVideoGameNerd]

Just imagine if you were playing this in the arcade when it was new. The way the robot takes off in the beginning and that triumphant music, it would be so damn mind blowing.

[@navichrisfy]

Yes, i lived what you describe.

[@vibechecker2476]

Agreed. This games were ahead of their time. Another good example is Xaind Sleena

I guess it is pretty randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?

@Braylon Dominick thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I appreciate it!

[@andressigalat602]

It looks like the creators of this game took more than a little bit of inspiration from several of Go Nagai's giant robot animes. Three ships combine into a robot, like in Getter Robo, this robots shots rocket fists, like Mazinger Z, and combines in a saucer-like ship like UFO Robo Grendizer (if the name was not clue enough). But it was a fun game, so I don't hold it against them.

Este juego lo daba vuelta varias veces. Que tiempos mas buenos

[@RetroWill]

whoa... that intro showing the 3 ships combining into a robot is so nostalgic of 80's combiner giant robots.

[@pascalvisa4911]

I think this game inspired Hybris on Amiga.

[@Ama-hi5kn]

I always remember Terra Cresta and UFO Robo Dangar when I play Hybris.

One of the greatest tunes: main game and record

[@mastersproutgamer9327]

Is this Nichibutsu's first vertical-scrolling shooter game to have the screen pan left and right when moving your character in certain directions?

[@blindlemoneyesTheBunny]

Mhm! Hamster should have known this one!

[@gasparyangahijo]

I remember playing this in the arcade. I can never forget the music of the first level, though I forgot the NAME of this game until this video. :P

[@rodrigomanoel3844]

Terra Cresta?

[@skarlock5257]

Same. They had this game in the snack shop of a drive in movie theater I used to go to as a kid. I was searching for this and another game that allowed you to combine into a big ship or separate into smaller ships called "Terra Cresta" that I also forgot the name of. That one was at a Godfather's Pizza in my home town :)

[@andressigalat602]

@@skarlock5257 "UFO Robo Dangar" and "Terra Cresta" were confused in my childhood memories for years. I remembered the two names, but didn't remember what was part of each of them. For example, were the dinosaurs from Dangar of Terra Cresta? (now I know there were biological dinos in Terra Cresta and robotic ones in Dangar). I wasn't able to tell them apart until MAME came along and I could play both of them again. In my defense, both were made by the same company and have similar mechanics and visuals.

[@Faires5]

I watch these mainly to find good, obscure retro music

[@holden6104]

I have a very dim childhood memory of seeing this game in an arcade in Korea when I was around five years old. I mostly remember it for the music, but I also seem to remember a part where you literally fight against mecha. Couldn't find it in this video though.

[@jingievaalbal3322]

I miss the 80s

[@daviddyer3543]

Robo Dangar should've got his own anime series, movie and manga/toy tie-in! Did the toy companies in Japan miss something here? "Coming this summer in Japanese theaters and the rest of the world, from Tatsunoko Productions....ROBO DANGAR: THE MOVIE!"

[@NexcellPride]

"Dangard UFO Robo" was inspired in "Dangard Ace" and "UFO Robo Grendizer" both were Anime series by Toei Animation Co. Ltd.

[@daviddyer3543]

@@NexcellPride Pity those anime series didn't get an English version.

[@NexcellPride]

@@daviddyer3543 in Latin America, "UFO Robo Grendizer" was dubbed in Los Angeles, California, and renamed as "El Galáctico" as part of ZIV International's "El Festival de los Robots" (Robots Festival)

[@andressigalat602]

Seeing as they took more than a little bit of inspiration from several of Go Nagai's giant robot animes, they would probably have been sued.

[@SolCresta3405]

11:47 - Mandler? Is that you?

[@Ama-hi5kn]

I was always impressed how they used a Zilog Z80 for this game. Whereas its spiritual predecessor Terra Cresta used a Motorola 68000. (I used to program for that one back in the days). And it looks just as good. But you get out of it what you can.

[@Crimefighter]

The owner of this KZbin should come out to Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield, IL and play these on the real arcade hardware and set some world records.

[@luckedesimone]

I remember this game better... thought robot have more upgrades😂

[@mrnobodytheuser2950]

Great memories of the 80s being a kid, Put money in press start 10 seconds later game over screen.

[@grongy6122]

I thought the final boss would be a big-sized UFO ramen. P. S. The registration page on your site is still doesn't work properly.

[@grongy6122]

And you put my longplay into the rejected folder, even though I tried to register like twenty times. ;P

[@marioghernandez4960]

Looks like good fun~

[@mastersproutgamer9327]

I bet this game definitely deserves a Hamster treatment on Arcade Archives.

[@Tomioka22giyu]

Good video

[@lolcowtv4666]

I played it a lot in the 80's, preferred it over Terra Cresta.
