Magic Sword was the only arcade cabinet in my Pizza Hut for years.

[@EdmondDantes224]

Magic Sword is also on the PS2 Capcom Classics Collection volume 2, and now you can get it on Switch as part of Capcom Arcade Stadium.

[@waynedrew7074]

Just the music to the intro is thumbs up material all in itself

[@daakrolb]

I never played face all at all, but remember it being advertised like CRAZY as I recall. Also- I liked Magic Sword! I remember it being in the arcades in the HEYDAY of arcades. Man them were the days…

[@patrickm1533]

I loved face ball! I have no clue how many times I rented it but it was a lot

[@CptSamel]

I actually love the arcade version of Magic Sword. I have it on one of those Capcom PS2 compilations. BROUYAH! BROUYAH! BROUYAH! BROUYAH!

[@zlink88]

Since the genesis was my dad's game system when I was growing up, we played a lot of side pocket. It was a fun game

[@FuyuBiyori]

I loved Magic Sword! I always liked starting at level 1, because you can get better upgrades going all the way up. It just sucked getting hit downgraded your weapon for some reason.

[@Alexsavethegame]

let's go! August 26th! 1992

[@pharmcat8484]

I played Magic Sword all the time. You need to play it.

[@raxadian]

Wish I had enough old computers to play a Faceball Lan Party.

[@hobokoala2623]

Faceball was so awesome. Especially 2 player.

[@toferg.8264]

More shows!

@Now in the 90s @ProJared That is a cross bow not a gun. How they were able to make a scope in that age is beyond me, and I don't think it was accurate enough to need one, but yes that is a scope on a crossbow.

[@TheGreenMarksman]

that's a crossbow not a gun on that box art. you can see the limb and string

[@DerpyLaron]

Comment for engagement for the videos talking about the day/week before I was born. Man i am old

[@gueropalma6649]

I love magic sword. Pure gold.

[@TheCreepypro]

nice to hear about magic sword

[@RobinStarsfall]

Yes, as a matter of fact, I did play Faceball 2000 on the SNES. I really liked it as a kid... As an adult, not so much.

[@blindsportslover]

So did I. It was very simplistic. I also liked how I believe you could customize what the enemy faces look like. That have a nice day taunt always freaked me out.

[@shannonwilliams7249]

Love em all.

[@BipolArteMusic]

I love your content.

[@Octokaizer]

Man, this week was a dud. It must have been disappointing for kids at the time.

[@CeruleanChurch]

Well, Jared did say a few episodes ago that game releases slowed down during the summer

[@daakrolb]

Ah he’ll don’t worry about us! (I woulda been 15 at the time.) as I recall those days, I had so much fun playing the stuff that had already come out I didn’t suffer! Them were the DAYS!!

[@amsterdamG2G]

Only for those that bought games every week.......nobody did😅

[@jonnjonzz5702]

Quick! Name your favorite cereal! Perfect! Not a single person said Magic Spoon.

[@CondemnedToBeMe]

👍👍👍👍🕹🕹

[@findantu]

I like shadow of mystera more than tower of doom. Better characters way more paths and crazy items

[@davegorack]

See I love Magic Sword...but yeah not my Favourite Capcom Arcade game

[@Dragonsbeard.]

Uncreative comment because i can't think of anything lol.

[@samthesnowman666]
