There is a Ferry system to take people from Vancouver to Vancouver Island, Canada. The ride is about 90mins or so. Back in the 90s they had a little arcade section on some of the boats... you never knew what was going to be there. One trip, my brother and I were so happy to find Captain America and The Avengers there to play! So we began a game as Iron Man and Cap. Maybe midway thru the second stage, these other 2 brothers came up and watched us play. They were both younger and had no quarters. As we progressed further, the kids could see us having some difficulty (and running low on quarters). They left, and came back a few minutes later shouting! They had brought like $5 in quarters and gave a couple to my brother and I, and then they jumped in the game as Hawkeye and Vision. Thanks to the help of those little chads, the 4 of us finished the game just as the trip was ending. I'll never forget it!

[@Slitheringpeanut]

Awesome!

[@anthonybalista7421]

Hell yeah!

[@jonathanrecalde564]

Justo a tiempo...lol

[@IanPeon]

*Vison* : Possesses the power to channel the sun. *Iron Man* : Uses the most sophisticated weapons known to man. *Captain America* : Super-Human soldier who uses combat training with an indestructible shield. *Hawkeye* : World's greatest marksman who uses deadly precision weaponry. *All Avengers* : Whipping Coke cans at enemies.

[@MasterMewtwo239]

And pebbles

😆😆😆👍👍

Pus..quien lo diria ,..

[@chd1694]

Loved these games more than the high tech video games they have now. Miss the arcades. I lost alot of quarters but it was worth it.

[@oh2446]

This was way more fun than Avengers Game.

[@Trencher1375]

I agree, this is not even one of the best of its time technically but its sheer energy makes it great!

[@TheXtofer]

I still randomly hear that red skull laugh. It's been 30 years.

[@kkiwi1122]

I randomly here cap screaming I can't win 30 years later lol

[@RetroMaticGamer]

Loved the dialogue in this... Cap: You cannot escape! Whirlwind: YOU will be the one escaping! Me: o_0 Cap: Where is the laser? Ultron: Ask the POLICE! Me: ???

I love how they thought of giving Captain America and Hawkeye flying vehicles for the shoot'em-up sequences but instead of giving the vehicles lasers or something, they went: "nah, Cap's gonna throw thousands of shields really, really fast"

[@solame4983]

The TAS is auto fire, no one in an arcade could shoot this fast

[@TheFloppyLlama117]

@@solame4983 thanks for pointing that out. I remember getting to that part in the arcade and was like they did not shoot that fast. Looks broken AF

[@Jc27uhh4h4h4]

also hawkeye can just lift a car above his head

[@solbadguy799]

I remember going on a field trip as a kid. A friend and I started playing and then the rest of the class jumped in taking turns to help beat the game. That was epic.

[@UlyssOwens]

The same 😂

[@frankiepoindexter445]

Some of the best memories of my childhood were playing this game with my brother on Sega Genesis. We would lose lose lose, then one day we beat it. This game, as well as Wolverine and Silver Surfer for the NES, were my first taste of Marvel comics. Seeing these characters become household names in the biggest films ever made has been tremendous.

[@TeranIcer]

Late 80s-mid 90s, companies like Data East were pushing out arcade hit after hit, good times. 😮

[@blake2534]

15:29 Cap and Vision just beating the ever living shit out of Juggernaut kinda had me almost feeling for him a bit.

[@begcoins]

[@LunaticLK47]

Juggernaut needed that pimp slap though.

[@jasonp364]

[@thegreatgario3478]

oh my God, that red skull beating at 22:07 is just *brutal*

[@deathsheadknight2137]

Owwww!

15:27 Damn, you guys beat brakes off Juggernaut!

[@Luigi-xg7hx]

Jajajajajajajajajajaja poor Juggernaut, they raped him.

[@johnsantos507]

That's Juggernaut?!

[@GenJuhru]

And a sentinel is just a giant robot

[@blukmage19typeR]

Juggernaut's helmet is different from the usual type.

[@tornoofo17]

Dude got double teamed into the money shot. 😂

[@LakanPepe]

I love that Wonder Man, who doesn't need to breathe is the pilot of the Quinjet, and Hawkeye is the one who's on the away team.

[@joshuafigueroa9758]

This brought tears to my eyes I played this for so many hours with my brother and alone. I miss these times oh how I wish I would’ve cherished them more thank you

[@greatBLT]

Tell him to play it with you now before it's too late

[@Ketchup_And_Rice]

Ah yes....where the words "I can't moooooove" got ingrained in my head all those years ago

[@Holydude]

I always hated it when at the local arcade they set the options to have your health tick down over time just so you would have to throw more quarters in the machine

Data east U.s.a Presents... Avengers review 4:04 Intro: Villains invades the Avengers aren't the bad guys. 5:53 Whirlwind says:I hate you, Avengers. 9:34 Avengers says: What the heck is that!? 14:12 Avengers: I hate the Tv skin!

22:26 Red Skull does care a little bit, but the evil plan of Skull bro

[@captain0080]

That's just scummy, thankfully inever found an arcade like that.

[@thehumblesniper]

Wait, that was a thing? How trashy can you get?

[@retiredsnowbunnyhunterx5106]

I'm trying to remember it was another arcade game like that too. But I definitely remember this one. The crazy part is while your life is ticking away due to the time getting hit makes it drop quicker. I never beat this game back in the day. But did eventually after I got MAME. Crap was hard even with that an unlimited credits. You go broke trying to beat this.

[@Rusaarules]

Always did like when the boss music starts turning into the Avengers theme as a "you're close to winning!" beat.

[@kcatarino]

It’s no fun if you play perfectly because then we’ll never hear I… CANT… MOOOVE

[@GameplayUploaded]

Also this - "America still needs your help"" 😂

[@kcatarino]

@@GameplayUploaded omg yes 🤣

[@shadowdemon5730]

Classic game. Perfect 16-bit era game. I wish they’d do a version for modern consoles like the PS5 , Switch and Xbox. I love retro games.

[@BerryNiceToMeetYou]

After how well received SOR4 and the Turtle's games were, we could start to see more remakes/sequels to the classics. I'd love remakes of The X-Men and Simpsons arcade games.

[@sipioc]

This is still the best Avengers game to date. Make an updated version of this with an expanded roster? I’d pay full price.

[@gaphdd1412]

Same

[@roderickroberts9917]

Me too!

[@wilcee238]

There’s an Avengers United emulator floating around that’s this game with an updated roster.

I guess you never played Marvel Ultimate Alliance?

[@jeremymason604]

They had this at the local roller rink when I was a kid in the 90s. They would have all nighters and I would bring all my change to play this arcade classic all night!

[@yuankun99]

I was a teen in 1991. I remember playing this on arcades.

this entire video has ben teamwork dream work ass kicking action my goodness it looked choregraphed so glad to see this video after years of this game being apart of my childhood

“I CANT MOVE!”… 😂😂😂😂… man I heard that soooooo many times playing this back n da days 😂😂😂

[@kcbower100]

Had this on SNES. My dad and I would play for hours. Good times…

[@mrf19741]

The Bad dialogue and the Vision walking around with his arms folded in front of him like a Boss always had me cracking up laughing!😆😆😆😆

[@silasr20]

Lmao so true 😂

[@FoxItAll]

He is a boss

[@mrdude88]

Vision is a boss. If he wanted to, he can take on the Avengers in his own, but he won’t because someone decided to build him to have a conscious and feel pain when he’s a robot.

[@Hiphop4life7083]

I had this game as a kid and never noticed the arms crossed until I read this comment. I can't unsee it and I'm lol'ing every second. Thanks brother.

[@Ben82077]

Cap: There’s no escape!! Whirlwind: You’ll be the one escaping!! Cap: And you-wait, what?

Para mí, este es el mejor juego de los Avengers de todos los tiempos.

Captain America having joints of vibranium throwing his shield like that, especially underwater!

[@nickbell8353]

Can you imagine if RDJ, Chris Evans, Paul Bettany and Jeremy Renner did a charity livestream of this game? They would clean up!!!

This is my childhood. Had this game on for the Sega Genesis. Use to play it all the time with my older brother.

[@joselovillacortamorales4801]

First time I hear the audio quality clean. I can enjoy that lovely music with clarity.

This brings back memories, loved the grocery store around the corner

[@GiantPantherTX]

DAAAAMMN! That was an ass-whoopin'!!! You perfectly massacred all of Red Skull's robots & henchvillains. The X-Men never kicked Juggernaut's ass as hard as that and you steamrolled all the rest of those fools too. 🤩

[@ac6903]

And the sentinel around 8:49, scourge to the x-men, but to the avengers its just “giant robot”

[@brandon9638]

Imagine building a multi-billion dollar suit only to prefer using a can of coke to destroy you enemies

[@Lastjustice]

Coke does take the paint off cars...so it's potent.

[@Rhino-n-Chips]

Amazing to think these used to be the D-lister Marvel characters that nobody cared about back then. Cap was the best known, Iron Man was "that drunk guy", and the other two were less known than almost all the X-men. Now Hawkeye has his own show and Wolverine is only coming back recently, how times have changed.

[@Herowebcomics]

Man! Even back then they were so cool!
