Monster Maulers (Arcade / 1993 - Konami) - Anne [Playthrough/LongPlay]

[@leradmuiel7634]

Love it, it has soul. You can tell the people behind really loved the work they put behind this game.

[@GranMaese]

I like these kind of unique fighting games that bring something unique to the table. MM's concept is very cool, plus the soundtrack is a banger.

[@darkzeroprojects4245]

Nowadays wouldn't even be considered re attempted cuz fighting games are only allowed to be mainly mp experiences.

[@lil----lil]

All hand drawn art. NO *CHEAP* boss moves. It is a pure labor of love. What a beautiful game.

[@edwardgaines6561]

11:12 And for some reason Konami artists had an obsession with the Easter Island heads!🗿

[@AltimaNEO]

And nipples

[@JustinSevenTwo]

Love how Konami made a fighting game using mostly Gradius enemies... And gave it the tone of a 70s Tatsunoko superhero anime!

[@vicetube]

TnA in every thumbnail or your money back! Keep dropping gems!

[@PeteTheGrouch]

Back when Konami still used to make fun games... how I miss those days.

[@davidfrancisco3502]

It's the snake oil salesman of Hideo Kojima part of the Konami downfall.

[@PeteTheGrouch]

@@davidfrancisco3502 _Bruh,_ Kojima was about the only thing keeping them afloat in their twilight years... it's hardly coincidence the company went _completely_ to ratsh*t shortly after he bailed.

[@davidfrancisco3502]

@@PeteTheGrouch Hideo Kojima is a snake oil salesman and a filmaker wannabe who owes his success in gaming from other people's work.

[@PeteTheGrouch]

@@davidfrancisco3502 _Riiiiight..._ well, by all means, come back once you manage to create a world renowned gaming series, then we can talk about 'wannabes'... Until then, chao Mr. Random Nobody on the Internet.

[@RokuroCarisu]

@@PeteTheGrouch Ah, the classic "if you can't do it, you can't talk about it" fallacy. No, you absolutely can talk about and even criticise Hideo Kojima without being a comparable game designer. And sure, he created the awesomeness that was Metal Gear and really did keep Konami afloat. But on the other hand, he also created Death Stranding, a game that pretends to be a dramatic movie although the gameplay is nothing but tedious fetch quests, and had the gall to tell gamers who said it wasn't good that they _simply don't understand it._

[@elevatorkart]

Great Video! keep up the good work man :)

[@PurgaB]

Still an amazing game and that opening theme. Perfect!

[@DavideGendo]

If you play the Japanese version there's also an emphatic narrator to announce the title cards.

[@tomaturtle7790]

Dude! This should be in another Konami Arcade collection. This games looks sweet!

[@azulinfinito977]

Que nostalgia. Más de 25 años sin ver este increíble juego 👌💙

[@G0thCrayon]

This game is super kooky, and I can't help but like it... The intro music just SCREAMS that "here comes the hero that's going to save the day again -like they do every week " kind of vibe -in a good way. The bosses are spiffy as hell. Sure, they aren't the most original creations in the world, but they absolutely aren't supposed to be -they're supposed to be dead ringers of after-school Sentai baddies... And they NAIL IT. Heck, that undersea fungus critter is just great all around, and the fact that he ungulates to the tempo of that turbo-funky boss music he has just tickles me. Konami, you're literally hemmoraging money like a boat made out of screen doors because you're trying to render each pore of each character individually... When NOBODY GIVES A CRAP. Put a small team of talented lunatics who worked on other successful games together, and let them make whatever they want... Or if you want some ideas, hit up some itch.io game developer who makes fun games that people actually enjoy playing... Basically ANYONE who doesn't start their pitch with "it's like Dark Souls…" or something equally comparable. Do you hear me, non-existent Konami executive who's never going to read this? WITH MY LACK OF EXPERIENCE AND NAIVETY, I WILL SAVE YOUR BESMIRCHED HONOR AND BRING YOU GREAT FORTUNE! DO IT FOR YOUR UNBORN CHILDREN!

[@mindcrome]

Sad to say they make allot of money just on slot machines. They have a office here in Vegas.

[@G0thCrayon]

@@mindcrome Eh, it's just as well. The birth rate in Japan is just about a negative number, so they don't have to worry about the whole "dishonoring the family" thing.

[@danwilson12]

wow... never heard of this game, but it looks fun as heck

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

I was craving a bit of Monster Maulers... nice that you could provide it! Shame that this hasn't gotten a re-release...

[@Hatsworthful]

i like how the dragons dead-ass use godzilla sound samples

[@ilikethecokev2]

Reminds me of when one of the old Rankin-Bass Christmas specials flat-out used Rodan and Mothra noises

[@26th_Primarch]

Same

[@8BitPandaStrike]

This soundtrack is epic!

[@KageVII]

These are the kind of games that need to be re-released.

[@billydakid1240]

That 3 kick combo is nice!

[@Raziel_DVega]

OMG I love this game so much, I even did one video playing it. Thank you for uploading It.

[@leocampo2755]

Awesome walkthrought,Loading Geek...you made it great👍😉👌 You're a champion player

[@miked4377]

what a cool game..i loved konami back then!!

[@Soddarkryder]

best thumbnail ever

[@HanginOutattheVideoStore]

This right here is why video games were invented.

[@akydo7070]

If This would have Been released all around the world, this would have been a bigger Hit, it would have been well known

[@SolarScion]

3:24 That smash combo lines up perfectly with the music, lol. This looks like the gamma is set too bright. Everything's overexposed. I notice that seems to be the case on a lot of these arcade uploads.

[@natn41r]

Never saw this in the arcades. Would have played the hell out of this.

[@retiredsnowbunnyhunterx5106]

I know right! I'm gonna have to go check out MAME an see if I have this.

[@tomaturtle7790]

Me too!

[@stefanbesendorfer1323]

Man, i just clicked out of curiosity on this video, but it looks pretty awesome for it's age. And the opening gives it some good old anime vibes. I guess it's gameplay is hard/tricky, but it seems to be fun anyway.

[@ShadowMoon878]

Konami and Capcom used to make the best Beat-em ups back in the 80s and 90s.

[@ThanatosSD]

13:15 I love this part, the song makes you feel like you are on a Super Sentai or Kamen Raider episode XD.

[@DBWalks2010]

Anamation is amazing.

[@DBWalks2010]

Thanks!

[@DBWalks2010]

Your Welcome.

[@eddymadison9655]

The gameplay is similar to Red Earth, I love it

[@andrewortiz5797]

The final boss stage has the best final boss stage music of all time!!

[@nufi20]

Eyes popping out at that lol nice thumbnail

[@MrKshahdoo]

You know, what is really sad, guys? 🤨Imagine all the gamers back in 1993. They was played this game and probably thought: "Hey, this game is not bad. Very funny". But, the truth is, this game and many others was'nt just "not bad" or "funny", they was and they still freaking awesome! After almost 30 years, we players, watching this and see it's true awesomeness 🤤 Alas, they don't make such games, anymore 🥺

[@misterdedlift4879]

No matter if it's Animaniacs, Batman or Contra, Konami used that soundfont for EVERYTHING and I love it.

[@HypercatZ]

This is even better than Fatal Fury.

[@samballesteros2822]

The thumbnail😂 the eye👀 is getting a great look shot😂😂

[@Mightywhiskaz]

That thumbnail lol. That monster is really enjoying the view.

[@Sideswipe79]

What a great Ginyu Force pose during the ending

[@embuscadefilmespoucoconhec5323]

Nunca tinha escutado falar desse jogo, grata surpresa!

[@locostse7en]

A golden age of arcade ..........

[@josie1776]

Very good play!!

[@alexrain1188]

Dude. This is awesome.

[@bobbackward6461]

I deeply regret never getting to play this when it came out.

[@spindalis79]

Discount Dorombo. Seriously, nearly everything about this game (especially the terrible trio of villains) exudes "Time Bokan" qualities. This was definitely an homage to the franchise.

[@itsbeyondme5560]

Why I'm here? I was searching anything on KZbin until I see this. I remember I watched Strider another arcade game but that was long ago

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Early precursor to Red Earth

[@infographistehistorichaiti5929]

Man, this game really looks cool.

[@scienz]

the music and energy are off the charts

[@creativecatproductions]

Never heard of this. It is brilliant.

[@pixelgoat7317]

An unabashedly Japanese game lol. The music is PERFECT XD

[@AVClarke]

They use the Godzilla (Gojira) roar for the dragon monster. 😅

[@PharoahsKingdom]

Never heard or seen this game in the 90's

[@mikeimprovius5203]

Lol at re-using boss characters from Gradius/Life Force in a brawler. Brilliant!

[@finalomega8894]

That thumbnail. An “eye-full”.

[@subarjo9636]

i remember this game

[@MelvinaMacGarlen]

Lolz. The final stage has cheesy 70s super robot theme song......I love it

[@DavideGendo]

It was even sung by Masato Shimon, a popular singer of the genre right from Mazinger Z.

[@Zontar82]

Couldn't take a Better moment to snap that thumbnail! That pervy brain 😅

[@crencottrell7849]

I never knew this game existed before...I'm very impressed by Ms. Anne

[@self-madededication4869]

Ape boss from Strider. Overall otherworldly vibe from Forgotten Worlds. Brain boss equals Eyeball monster from Altered Beasts. Blue demon moveset pre-dates Akuma. Ape Boss moveset pre-dates Sentinel in X-Men vs Capcom. Algae monster similar to Twelve SF3. Robots similar to Mega Man aesthetics. Dragon reminds me of Dragon in Space Harrier. Great Game I never played and just saw for the first time!

[@TrentDan]

That Thumbnail is hilarious, that eye monster waa way to close.

[@TheVampirePredator]

Holy shit! Time Bokan reference to the max!

[@shokichithegiantasianhorne7420]

and the Arcadia from Captan Harlock

[@truehealthkei]

5:31 the only game where you can piledriver a dragon 😁

[@DAngelCM]

This reminds me of Power Rangers which is an American adaptation of Super Sentai. What a excellent game reference, even a title that refers the squad.

[@SonicRiders]

Oh yeah this soundtrack too!

[@RyllenKriel]

The world is not good enough for a sequel to this wacky game.

[@czikkanhardt4750]

This is FUCKING insane. I need to play it, *_now._*

[@SonicRiders]

This game is sick!

[@jbFromNYC]

Dadandarn‼️

[@stormgear896]

So this is basically a Final Fight boss rush.

[@malikholmes5045]

Wow, That Diablo guy is just a blue Blanka from Street fighter lol

[@Imozart0341I]

Those hit sound effects has some umph to it.

[@fushigiman140]

Both heroes and main villains look like inspired by 80s super heroes and time bokan series

[@MuppetMan246]

It's like someone at Konami thought "what if we make a game like Final Fight, but it's mostly bosses and you fight weird shit/monsters?"

[@shiro_akechi]

This game reminds me of a similar arcade title, Metamoqester

[@fatihmericozarslan3245]

Finished this game as Anne.

[@XeroCool420]

Now I gotta find this rom to put on my pi

[@gionievans4410]

This game invented Red Earth before Capcom even made the game.

[@VOAN]

It even had a Centaur before Mortal Kombat.

[@ericlensher7936]

Jogo muito subestimado na época. Merece um remake!

Great thumbnail XD Red earth was inspired from this i presume w

😄😉👁

[@andwjy]

Earliest jiggle physics existence detected?

[@smog-097]

I love these fighting/boss rush crossover games. So few out there. There's the Mega Man one, and Red Earth I think? If anyone has more suggestions, please reply.

[@Bindinghan]

There's also Metamoqester

[@Big-Mic7878]

Let's not forget Chaos Breaker. probably the only thing that's close to "modern day Red Earth" as you're ever going to get. EDIT: Okay after careful comparison I kind of lied it's less in terms of the Boss part but in More in term of its uniqueness in the modern era😌

[@smog-097]

@@Big-Mic7878 I discovered Chaos Breaker a short time ago. It's an amazing fighter. Would love to see an update or re-release of this game.

[@cyberangel2787]

Wait, so final boss in one of GBA Castlevania games is a reference to a boss from this? Curious.

[@davionvanste614]

This lady just body slamming everything is so epic 😂

[@VOAN]

I like how at the end credits they show all the bad guys winning.

[@DavideGendo]

There are some obscure criteria to get a good ending. Some times I played I got it, others not.

[@caseyelworthy2759]

I love how this game lets you do throws that make no sense! Spinning piledriver on the head of a giant dragon? Why not? Frankensteiner a flying brain? Sure! It's like Sabin suplexing the train, but over and over! 😆 Fuck logic, use pro wrestling!

[@redbutterflyprincessgeanne4620]

I hope they put that on the switch.

[@micshork]

Reminds me of Red Earth but more science fiction than fantasy.

[@MySplatterhouse]

Oh wow I've never heard of this game.

[@Gleamoz]

For some reason I tought she was going to flash me with her stuff !

[@Sephiroth144]

Oh sure, she can kick "Brainy" and damage the brain meat, but repeated plasma blasts from a space superiority fighter do nothing? I'M CALLING SHENANIGANS!

[@starsiegeplayer]

I never heard of this game. It looks fun.

That thumbnail.

[@hieioni3354]

Let me guess, Diablo is a discount Blanka.

[@Zhello79]

Reminds me of Double Dragon and Fighting Force

[@Mighty_Mr_B]

anyone else catch that Kotetsu is stated as the tallest character but is actually the shortest of the three?

[@raymondlaney8508]

Amazing soundtrack wow!!!

[@infamoswordz]

Back when women could have curves or not and it wasn't a issue that anyone cried over

[@gavinwigg8057]

Wow - never seen this game before - really cool. Total Blanca ripoff at 8:57!

[@Lukas-kz4xm]

That's some good graphics there, shame it didn't reach any 32-bit console.

[@DavideGendo]

Many games of the early 90s were on hardware too powerful for a 16 bit port but too earlier than the 32 bits - and often those were still not powerful enough with 2D. So many were stuck in a limbo.

[@Boredforrealimserious]

Lol she's wearing panites on her head , this game was creative and fun

THUNDER CRUSH!!! 😍
