B. RAP BOYS - RETRO ARCADE REVIEW - THIS GAME IS BRUTAL

[@OriginalMasters]

Can confirm after playing this morning: Really tough beat ‘em up.

[@FriendsAndGamingYT]

God damm, that last boss fight looks painful!!!!!

[@35infinite]

I tried so many times, I didn't have the patience or sanity to get it done lol

[@FriendsAndGamingYT]

@@35infinite I'm kinda curious how much coins you would have spent on this if it was back in the day

[@35infinite]

@@FriendsAndGamingYT parents would guaranteed go bankrupt lol

[@theblocksays]

Can't believe you didn't notice how much he resembles Triple H, even though this was before his debut. He ISSSSS the Gammmah

[@packpock4369]

The way games are intended hard as balls. DJ Boy was the first one, abd it actually got ported to the Genesis..

[@Vancegeoffmen2]

I came across this game as a long play several years ago. I also liked the music too (Hoops 96 also offers an awesome hip hop soundtrack). I played it with a couple of friends on MAME. The really frightening thing about this final boss game that you didn’t capture is what happens in multi player mode. Before you fight the boss, you fight your team mates to force them out of the game. The last player standing HAS to fight the boss alone.

[@35infinite]

Someone else mentioned that, that is just CRAZY 🤣 Game is just unforgiving.

[@theedwardian]

B Rap Boys took all the quarters out of the NYC ghetto

[@uppernimbus]

That voice impression at the beginning 😂 Great video dude, loved it ❤

[@35infinite]

🤣 Thanks, Nimbus, glad you liked it!

[@michaelfields7088]

I discovered this on my Legends Ultimate and this is actually one of my favorite games. The soundtrack rules!

[@Ology007]

If anybody else already mentioned it in the comments below you can disregard this comment. I just wanted to let you know that they all do have names. It's hard to notice it because usually, you'll see it on the character select screen in video games. When you play them in the game though their names appear next to 1P 2P 3P based on how many players and who you pick. The characters are: Top - Green Vest / White Shirt / Blue Pants Pea - White Shirt / Blue Pants Pan - Red Hat / Jean Outfit Didn't want to falsely label any of the ethnicities.

Nice Vid! You almost never hear about this game. I discovered it by accident. Still being arcade exclusive and what I assume was low distribution, very few are aware of it. I discovered it when a few years ago over a Holiday break, I went through every MAME ROM that was functional and discovered this game. I think it is so interesting all around, but I am also a huge beat-em-up fan, which is probably why it was so easy for me to remember. I agree this game is kind of unfun to play after so long due to frustrations with the mechanics and cheap enemies. It was a little more fun when I played multiplayer with friends, who also got a good laugh at the general goofiness. It is a little more tolerable and enjoyable by using the MAME cheat files. I think my favorite feature in this game is the record scratch for adding credits. I still got some enjoyment out of it because Beat-Em-Ups are like pizza...even when it's bad, it's still pretty good.

[@35infinite]

A friend and I tried the multiplayer, but we couldn't get it to work on Fightcade. I 100% agree with the pizza comparison, that's absolutely brilliant! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience with the game.

[@raygunpyle]

@@35infinite Thanks! 😃 We had no issues using the PC version of MAME to emulate, but that was also couch co-op we played. Beat-Em-Ups are in my top 3 game genres. I try as many as I can. I was sad when the genre was dead by the late 90's when 3D took over every genre in existence. I never cared for 3D Beat-Em-Ups. I never stopped loving 2D games and hated how forced 3D was in the late 90s. Thanks to platforms like Steam, the Beat-Em-Up genre is back the best it was since the early 90s. You could create a new story and reskin Final Fight 50 times and call it a new game and I'd still enjoy it. OpenBOR titles are extremely fun to play too.

[@TyX25]

You forgot to add the final boss is one on one, meaning if you have friends that helped you through, you have to fight them, the last man standing fights the final boss, your friends cannot continue

[@35infinite]

I didn't even know that, THAT'S INSANE 🤣

[@therush757]

Rumor has it this started as a Beastie Boys game, but when they wouldn’t give their permission, Kaneko scrapped everything and it became B. Rap Boys.

[@packpock4369]

Dude is whining of course it's harder to control they're on fuckin skates..does anyone have an understanding of it?

[@thenore1986]

They used to have this game at a local skating rink that I used to go to I love this game and you damn right I could never get past the first level 😂

[@35infinite]

Yo, that's awesome! Do you remember what the cab looks like?

[@michaelfields7088]

I accidentally went into this video and subscribed.

[@35infinite]

lol thank you

[@NYHeeb]

Reminds me of weird Gensis game called DJ Boy. It's final fight on roller skates

[@35infinite]

B. Rap Boys is the sequel to DJ Boy 👍

[@RolandsKaTet]

I just watched the ending, and WHOOOOO BOY. If you had spent any amount of time or money, and got that.. I think you'd go through the 5 Stages of Grief in a matter of seconds. 😂

[@35infinite]

No doubt 🤣

[@MrVan77]

Played in MAME and I use invincibility. No way I'm dealing w/ that headache

[@35infinite]

Lol I don't blame you

[@_juaem]

love this channel wtf

[@35infinite]

Lol thank you

[@keironhiggspoet]

I messed with this game when I had mame But damn, I never knew or got that far to that final boss fight. Are Kaneko getting revenge on players/publishers trying to censor the spiritual prequel DJ Boy for its insensitive stereotype of a first boss? Maybe they were salty losing the beastie boys license. But hell, its like its designed to literally rinse your pockets of funds.

[@SweisSenpai]

HARD GAME? TIME TO BOOT IT UP LOL. This looks absurd, maybe will attempt after Gaiden lol

[@35infinite]

So, never? lol

[@von2300]

After watching this, I'm glad I couldn't get this bullshit to work on MAME earlier!🤣🤣🤣

[@35infinite]

Lol yeah, probably saved yourself some grief

[@kingbeaniearchive6006]

so one of the enemies reminds me of the coach from home movies

[@35infinite]

Brendon there's nothing wrong with lying to women. Or the government. Or parents. Or God.

[@comediangarrettwalle]

Gallagher Skullet for life!!!

[@Ucey365]

[@LeeONardo]

[@aerogyp9966]

Why do you sound just like Skeletor tho? Lol

[@35infinite]

🤣🤣🤣 It's my go to, over the top villain voice

[@afropowa1598]

I remember seeing the attraction screen at the arcades in North Carolina as a kid during my summer break but had go back to the family house since we was leaving. I was so hype up to play it but life move on and I forgot about it...........but when it was announced that it was coming to MAME that nostalgia goodness hit me so hard that I was fiending to play it Yeah the game is just okay, the music really save it. A worst arcade only game with good music is D.D. Crew. I and online buddy barely beat the game thru MAME cuz it was so boring.

[@35infinite]

Thanks for sharing your experience, I love hearing about arcade memories.
