Line of Fire Longplay (Arcade) [4K]

[@LPetal86]

Gosh, they found you. I love Sega's arcade games so much. The scaling effects are nifty!

[@evanhanley6437]

Pretty awesome game! Looks impressive for its time!

[@inceptional]

A pretty awesome gun game for its time, and still really cool even now.

[@joe718gt4]

Their escape path consists of running through the most heavily armed and occupied areas of the enemy base

[@AchtungBaby77]

Upon first seeing this, my initial reaction was that the game was from Taito, since the manner in which the walls and scenery animate is almost identical to Space Gun. Looks like this game is a blast! (pun intended)

[@houstonhelicoptertours1006]

SEGA and Taito games used very distinctive and recognizable palettes. This is unmistakably SEGA due to the saturated colors. 😄

[@dorpth]

Jet fighters -> cargo plane -> helicopters -> submarine I like how the plane getaway level has them throwing slower and slower things to catch up to you.

[@Kwaj]

It's like Jackal on the NES, except it's FPS. Great run and thanks for posting!

[@sudarowakatta4543]

Three guys in a jeep annihilate the entire country's army, they like won the war in just 20 minutes. And as a reward they get an order. Damn, I can't imagine what it takes in this army to get a promotion! Great run, enjoyed it a lot!

[@elek464]

Very impressive for 1988! Great 1 life run!!

[@ShallRemainUnknown]

Certainly a good title to visually analyze Sega's sprite scaling, with the slow, reverse (Jeep-driving) sections showing the sprites pop up full-sized and slowly shrink. Also, the awkward handling of lateral turns while scaling (simultaneously with 2-layer/parallax rock walls) , and the obvious trouble synchronizing the perspective of large, multilayered objects (e.g. trains on tracks, tarps covering missiles on launcher trucks), give interesting insight into how troublesome the math must've been on designers! Don't know if it's just my connection, but this one seems to be running at only 30fps (like earlier OutRun hardware), despite that it's using the same X-board that ran Afterburner at 60fps.

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

Looking back at the footage, I think the game/screen update is locked to 30 FPS; it's not smooth enough for 60 FPS.

[@ShallRemainUnknown]

@@AL82RetrogamingLongplays So you think the game on original arcade hardware ran at only 30fps?

[@ShallRemainUnknown]

@@NB-1 Afterburner, on same hardware, seemed like it had as much or more going on, with the ground made up of so many rows of overlapping scaling sprites, plus the rotation , and all the planes & explosions scaling too, at 60fps...

[@Gojiro7]

that intro is hilarious with over the top violence mixed with the hero saying "Gosh" makes me think of Goofy going Rambo XD

[@stofopdenaald132]

Never knew the name of the game, played it several times on the arcade back in the day, great shooter 👍

[@novostranger]

I love that intro song

[@Kyntteri]

I played the Amiga port of this back when and I really wanted to like it. Too bad it had so low framerate, even with all the dowgrades, it was almost unplayable at times. This one looks solid though but looks like co-op is heavily encouraged.

[@Hickeylist]

I have been looking for a longplay of Night Stocker.

[@dy031101]

That driver must have really hated his posting as the intermission scenes basically have him actively facilitating the escape. Granted, before the player breaks in he was already held at gun point.

[@PaganMin-1966]

even monkeys do attack you besides human enemies

[@dorpth]

Hmmm...graphics seem a tad behind the times. It looks about on par with Operation Thunderbolt, which had been released the previous year. Beast Busters looked a lot better and was released the same year. (trivia: according to one source, Michael Jackson took a copy of Beast Busters on a cargo plane whenever he toured)

[@liberatetutemeexinferis5902]

Reminds me of " Operation Wolf ".

[@isekemu4969]

Super! 🔥

[@Davtwan]

The intro sounds a little like Sega’s Monaco GP.

[@houstonhelicoptertours1006]

Kinda late use of the (then) already outdated X Board. Probably to clear out remaining inventory, as common with many Japanese arcade divisions. Companies like Namco or Taito did the same.

[@Dáviddavidzoom]

awesome .

[@バードベース]

このゲームは浜田幸一が強引にアクアラインを建設した責任で逆効果になってイオンに買収される事になった木更津駅前のダイエーと言う極大好きなデパートの６階にて遊びました。

[@MicheleLaraia-j4m]

Operation Bear like?

[@cyberexistenz4826]

This a sequel to Operation Wolf?

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

No - just a similar type of game

[@MicheleLaraia-j4m]

OPERATION WOLF CLONE

[@unicron129]

Very similar to Taitos Operation Wolf

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

Yep - it's even closer to the sequel, Operation Thunderbolt.

[@hectorh6844]

Play Rambo Arcade next please
