Area 51 (Arcade) Full Playthrough

[@shockcityshocker]

The game you still see at every arcade, even two decades after its release.

[@ColonyWarrior]

It was like that back in '95 too.

[@absoluteunit8628]

@Howard Lovecraft the machine at my arcade is perfect

[@Dee_Nice89]

I remember playing both Area 51 and Maximum Force at the arcades

[@TrololzillaOG]

90's kids storming Area 51: "Just like the simulations."

[@jorgefuentes5237]

when you pay for both guns so you can dual wield

[@supergodzillabros2807]

tHeWasTeDYouTh

[@figment1988]

of course. Games like Area 51, Maximum Force and House of the Dead deserve to be played John Woo Style.

[@Benson1990ish]

Here in 2019 for training purposes.

[@jonathanmedina5778]

Good luck on your run

[@jubjub444]

Watch site 4 too as well my friend

[@MrHornyboy2000]

skip to 5:23 for the gameplay

[@alexk8792]

16:34 That alien's like, "Why, hello there~"

[@KimSamaVideos]

Let's cosplay as STAAR and storm Area 51

[@dhwwiiexpert]

Storming of Area 51 normal people: "Let's go!" us: "Come on! *Stay low!* "

[@clockblocking4483]

Rolling into Area 51 like 5:26

[@kerbe3]

Heh, the game that taught us it was okay to reload our guns five hundred times just because.

[@brunor.1127]

Just preping my self for the raid in september

[@fatcat1]

Fuck, you beat me to it

[@Male_Parent]

@@fatcat1 mood :v

[@dinkle41]

Come on! Stay low! I remember spending like 10 bucks on this game and finally beat it at a campground like 10 years ago.

[@fireblast7823]

must prepare for area 51 raid keep Ur training skills sharp

[@NDubbs15]

i used to think this game was kind of scary when i was really young.

[@charlessaint7926]

This brings back a lot of memories. I've always wondered who the two STAAR actors were. On the IMDB page, they list Peterson (You) as Matt Mullins who works primarily as a stunt man. He's still active in the film industry.

[@dhwwiiexpert]

Him being in a short fan film or some other fan media based on Area 51 would be wonderful!

[@ashyhusky4130]

The game the govt. doesn't want you to pay

[@G396]

Some say if you reach a particularly high score you get a call from Groom Lake Retirement Home.

[@ashyhusky4130]

Haha you may be right

[@UltramanMebiusBrave]

In the console versions, Lieutenant Grant's scream when she's shot is pitched up to sound very girly, and one of the aliens death screams is also pitched up.

[@jayzus1024]

This game was training us all along

[@JustinJTime]

So STAAR became STARS after they got bored of hunting aliens right? Though actually, they ALSO fight zombies here....hmmmm...interesting.

[@scalpey6962]

see that resident evil reference you were making there...

[@SoldierOfFate]

+Neo james82 They reminded me of XCOM more considering both organizations are paramilitary units established to tackle extraterrestrial hostilities.

[@JustinJTime]

The Ugly Barnacle Good points. Oh man, I would actually like an XCOM-like game in the RE universe. :D

[@RoundenBrown]

Man, I always loved playing this at the Pizza Hut 15 years ago. Never did beat it though. And that voice that always goes "RELOAD. RELOAD."

[@ZombryaTheDark]

I remember dual wielding both guns and beating this game when I was a kid at the greyhound bus station

[@MrHornyboy2000]

i always liked to put in a dollar so i could use both guns and duel wield. it was very satisfying ^_^

[@tynao2029]

ever dual wield the SMG light gun games, lol

[@z0mbiezak]

This, and House of the Dead have taken so many quarters from me... Gauntlet Dark Legacy too.

[@TrevorPhillips2024]

z0mbiezak lol

[@z0mbiezak]

Call me Daddy l0l

[@romanchavez5408]

Ha

[@redseagaming7832]

House of the Dead the first video game I ever saw when I was 5 years old 1997

[@cheekclappa69]

Ah, how I miss these sounds from the arcade at my local mall back in the day. I miss playing it too. I'm back for the nostalgia and for training to go clap em alien cheeks baby!!! September 20th!

[@TombstoneChris]

Here to retrain myself for September 20th

[@MercurialStatic]

This game was the tits back in the day.

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

I came here cause the Area 51 memes XD.

[@roboticturtle8822]

The Mixed Plate Frequency same here

[@KGRAMR]

One of the few lasting legacies of the Atari Jaguar, since the arcade board is basically a beefed up Jaguar, and a good game as well.

[@dnakatomiuk]

When the alien at the start turns around and melts AREA 51 into the fence at that point you know "least they can spell"

[@DoctorPorkenfries]

14:42 The guy who drives you totally dies here, after you get on the helicopter.

[@dhwwiiexpert]

He disappears, and we never get a definitive answer to what happened to him, so maybe S.T.A.A.R. has another chopper to pick him up. He’s the only survivor of the first incident, so he must be badass enough to escape alive.

[@Rorschach1998]

No joke but he looks a lot like an Indian actor named Akshay Kumar

[@Sideswip3dYusei]

Anyone watched this due the recent reports of Area 51?

[@Rorschach1998]

For training purposes

[@wenaldy]

The soundtracks cant be more 90's

[@SomeGuyandanAmbulance]

This where me and the boys gonna be

[@jubjub444]

site 4 is cool as well if you don't know what that is. Its a direct sequel.

[@thejman5683]

JubJub444 Shame it’s almost impossible to find footage of it online

[@tj_5298]

I'm going to be so ready for September 20th

[@NTAD]

The first thing I look for when I hit a bowling alley or a movie theater. The emulator sounds just don't do it justice though.

[@elmono6299]

This game along with Carnevil and Terminator 2 Judgement Day Arcade should get emulated as a compilation for the Switch, PC, PS4 and Xbox One

[@redseagaming7832]

Hell yeah i'd be willing to pay 40 dollars for a compilation Area 51 And other Arcade classics

[@ludusjake4477]

The 'STAAR' teams and exploding transitions between tits-out character bio and action suggests Midway may have ripped off Resident Evil.

[@SavenForever]

+Ludus Jake This game came out in 1995 and and the first RE came out in 1996.

[@Blackarachnia1996]

This came out an entire year before the first Biohazard game... seems as though Resident Evil and Independence Day ripped ideas off from this 👍🏿

[@SCP783]

I can remember back in 2000 and 2001, living around Atlanta, I would always see Area 51 at Mazzio's (not Marco's) Pizza and playing it. I moved in 2002 and up until around early 2007 I would see the game at a Pizza Hut. I haven't seen an Area 51 arcade cabinet anywhere ever since.

[@redseagaming7832]

sashaboi13 I think Area 51 needs a remaster preserve it for future Generations

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

Strange. The Mazzio's in my old hometown in Oklahoma had Area 51 among many other games rotated out over the course of time as well. Still wonder what happened to that MK2 and MvC1 cab....

[@kathleenball7489]

There are at least 3 players on the STAAR Team, a woman and 2 men. The black guy reminds me of a 1st SGT. When they go outside a white guy in a jeep with a sleeveless shirt says hurry up. I think he does most of the talking, while the first guy says lay low.

[@dhwwiiexpert]

Howard Lovecraft I recall that as well! Legit terrified me, always covered my eyes or something else to avoid seeing it.

[@sebastiansilva9567]

12:06 * group of infected people from ceiling* Me: yeah nope * use grenade *

[@thatchman1015]

6:11 best part

[@atarijaguarsgarage8873]

Looks like fun game. The CoJag hardware is based on the Atari Jaguar. But there is no version for the home system - oh the irony!

[@MrBIGJ45100]

Alright, who's here because of the memes?

[@Male_Parent]

Me

[@jessepeterson6694]

@@Male_Parent same here.

[@sebastiansilva9567]

Not me, found it at laundry place

[@Alexandra-cu1sk]

This game was my childhood. You won't believe this but when I was five years old, my parents took me to Chuckie Cheese and they had this game. But now, I rarely see this game anymore.

[@BigBoy-ds5nn]

This is how we training for the raid.

[@tHeWasTeDYouTh]

the alien design is freaking awesome!!!!!

[@KGRAMR]

They're not pre-rendered sprites but rather stop-motion models actually!

[@shaunffilps16]

I used to play this when I was a kid and then discovered it again recently in a pub in Exeter (UK) called The Arcade, where they had an old arcade machine of it! Fkn awesome discovery!

[@AnalEvisceration88]

Hey do you guys remember Lethal Enforcers? That game was also cool. Both these games ate up so much of my parents change when I was a wee baby lad.

[@TrevorPhillips2024]

Doosh McDooberson lol yeah

[@redseagaming7832]

The music in Area 51 gets me so pumped one of the best arcade shooters number one these game developers had to make these games awesome so awesome that you're willing to put money into it to see how the game ends

[@Wesley_C]

Classic, the greatest, Midway.🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻

[@levigifford3871]

Cool! I remember this! Some of the Aliens kinda look like Preadator,and others look like Zombies?

[@moonman3213]

Just saw the preview for Sicario 2 and thought: oh yeahhh..

[@TheSeanInc]

That black dude, totally sounded white!

[@michealgignac2960]

Sean Pride - Wait. Colours have sounds? (Surprised)

[@peasant9291]

you mean he didn't sound like a ebonic speaking rap artist?

[@NutellaBukkake]

I remember playing this and another alien arcade shooter game but I don't remember the name of it. It was a completely different series.

[@lisafan6365]

How did you get this calibrated? I've been trying to calibrate it like crazy with no luck. everytime I try it the crosshair doesn't go to the left edge of the screen making it impossible to reload on that side. any info would be appreciated

[@mattsneed4569]

Quick reminder to everyone. Start at the beginning of the game and don't shoot any of the zombie soldiers. Intentionally hit the first 3 STAAR members and you play "Kronn Hunter" instead of the normal game.

[@neooneeightytwo]

95. Loved this game. When had an arcade me and my brother would love to play this one. Fu....I'm old. 😭

[@redseagaming7832]

I hear Stars members why do I keep being reminded of Resident Evil

[@joshnoone5710]

A 12 pack of bud light and the good old bar area51 arcade dam I love this video your a 1 million allways Josh jmoney

[@TheStapleGunKid]

Such an awesome game. It was basically resident evil 4 as a rail shooter.

[@aldwinflores7029]

9 year old me having an instaboner at 1:30. Memories. Lol

[@RetroGaming30]

Fuck, I remember playing this as a kid. I got to the point where I was able to beat the game with just a quarter. Sadly, it got taken out of the pizza place here :/

[@robertwolfiii8711]

Snow and savage exposed there selfs to being alive.

[@GUCFan]

Noooooo. Every time i played this it crashed literally near the end because the spaceship never appeared on screen. I can't believe i was this close multiple times to beating this game on an actual cabinet but because the spaceship never appeared it just caused the game to crash instead.

[@Austroid]

Man, when's Arcade 1up going to re-release this? I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

[@CDeeez94]

Brings back memories.

[@robertwolfiii8711]

Setup the nuclear ion cannon beacon activate and use the one we found with command and conquer First decade generals renegade havoc. Nuclear strike package radio into targeted hot zones.

[@chrisberry789]

Even at 7 years old, I was wondering why a tactical officer had a low cut shirt lol

[@TBoone53]

16:33 LOL!

[@tHeWasTeDYouTh]

back when developers had a sense of humor

[@redseagaming7832]

Area 51 is on my list of my favorite arcade games ocean hunter is another one Vampire Knight is another one house of the dead is another one carnevil is another one. Crisis zone is another one Time Crisis 3 and 4 are good ones aliens extermination.

[@Wesley_C]

It's all about Gunrunning.

[@davidreeding9176]

This Soundtrack Slaps

[@audiothesoviet]

Anyone have any idea what weapons are depicted in the game? By both the STAAR and alien-infected personnel?

[@DarkDraconX1]

14:42 So is he alright? The Jeep driver. 16:33 Hi. 23:53 bottom left corner Alien data file Wak-69

[@maddestmike5791]

Wait, how did you get a reticle? I've never seen the game with one.

[@JohnSmith-qn3ob]

game starts at 5:20

[@edu_moonwalker]

So, reload is basically aim for "free play" and shoot it that is like out of bounds of the screen?

[@Mister_Amoeba]

Joel sent me. Prepare for more.

[@Ghosy01]

man i could never beat this game on ps1 . using the controller was too slow and the enemies always seemed to get a shot in and drain my credits.

[@druha10304]

Damn we used to play this shit all the time after school in the arcade loool

[@detmstr341]

The highest rank I got was 1st Lieutenant which was pretty good.

[@polarbear1291]

I remember killing the first 3 guys on your side and then you turned into an alien for the rest of the game :D you could not shoot one alien though just had to soak damage and kill 3 on your side.

[@robertwolfiii8711]

Don't forget the Sargent major.

[@mememe84]

why is it illegal to upload a playthrough of the game?

[@redseagaming7832]

maak honestly I'd be happy if they really released this for steam PlayStation 4 an Xbox One and why not release it on the Nintendo switch if they put a sweet price of 20 bucks on a remaster of Area 51 I'd buy it with online servers so somebody can drop in to help you out with the game like the old arcade game days

[@jgeralds99]

Pumped this bad boy full of coins at a lake lodge game room and finally beat it after years of trying

[@thedude76555]

im more of a house of the dead kinnda guy this sometimes looks unfair and clunlky

wow

[@robertwolfiii8711]

Don't forget the staars Lieutenant

[@Patrickillian]

Great game!

[@robertwolfiii8711]

They live in back of the mobile complex.

[@awoc123]

How do you tell it when to reload the gun?

[@UltramanMebiusBrave]

When you use up your bullets, there is a "Reload. Shoot off Screen" warning on-screen. That's when you have to reload, by shooting outside the screen.

[@awoc123]

I mean how do you reload on emulator? You would practically would have to click outside the window of the emulator to reload.

[@UltramanMebiusBrave]

Alex Jones Just right click (if you enabled the single button reload option) or click on the top or bottom of the screen, like I did in The House of the Dead 2.

[@MoonlightStrider]

+Alex Jones (AWOC123) Well I have House of The Dead on an Model 2 Emulator and to reload you just click the right mouse button.

[@jw870206]

Those doors, tho.

[@loganmitchell6202]

the first thing in my life

[@tjhooker824]

What are the enemies in the first half of the game? Zombies with guns? Aliens?

[@christopherwall2121]
