pagb666 I know you probably didn't make it, but that's the best avatar I've ever seen.

[@pagb666]

Thanks! saw it somewhere though :P

[@sanicyouth6540]

That's a nice profile pic you got there. Cacodemon combined with an epic face. Nice.

[@pagb666]

Thanks, the credits go to its author, but I never found out who he/she was

[@NickGore-rf2dd]

Sounds like Twitter

[@koga924]

This game is like a prequel to Hotline Miami: Killing drug dealers, violent deaths, and dudes in motorcycle helmets.

[@danielwilliams7161]

koga924 I bet the music would fit well.

[@koga924]

Daniel Williams Hotline Miami's music is so good, it would fit in anything.

[@EvilDead24]

koga924 I'm surprised this isn't a movie yet!!

[@OfficialTruDru]

Never heard of it

[@NickGore-rf2dd]

One of the songs in HM2 is N.A.R.C. too, I think the gameplay is a lot closer to the NES Die Hard though.

[@JohnnyCrayfish]

Mike, I met Arnold Schwarzenegger completely by chance at a Starbucks in Ohio. He was really friendly. He complimented my hair (which was purple at the time) and said, "I'd wear my hair like that but I'm not ballsy enough." It was amazing.

[@rabidrabbitshuggers]

I’m legit jealous. If I met Schwarzenegger, he would probably just shake his head sadly at how utterly basic I am.

[@frontxxrunner]

@stirange Well? Did you do it?

[@WTFisTingispingis]

That's so wholesome. Arnold is just the best.

[@ikelldagay1801]

@stirange blow? In what kind of way may I ask? And may I recieve the same treatment?

[@Ameto]

3:15 I love how the drug lab place is named "K.R.A.K".

[@luisabeleno7662]

In the nes versión is k.r.a.w

[@freakyfornash]

@@luisabeleno7662 It's K.W.A.K. in the NES version to be exact.

[@brigadierburnsauce]

Whoever is doing your new thumbnail pictures definitely deserves a few seconds of it showing at the start of videos. The art looks cool, I'd like to see it full size.

[@KillerandUndertaker]

Left click on the video player then press Ctrl + U on the new page press F3 & search for thumbnailurl you should see a link to the full-size thumbnail next to it.

[@Jingleboy14]

You're the real MVP

[@brigadierburnsauce]

Thanks. It'd still be nice to let the masses see it.

[@Linkonpark100]

It's also funny.

12:08 there were also a 80's band called Mr.Big.

[@freakyfornash]

Mr. Big was also the name of end boss in Art Of Fighting also.

[@metfan4l]

The way James holds the controller looks very uncomfortable.

Reminds me of the opening from David Hasselhoff's True Survivor music video.

[@Drambles77]

Mike's face when Mr.Big goes to phase 2. Priceless. Great play through guys! Cheers

[@bootstare]

I love that game! One of Midway's finest!

[@kls1236]

I used to play this game all the time on my NES with Game Genie. It's amazing how faithfully violent to the arcade it is. It's almost hilarious.

[@zndrb10]

One of my favorite NES games growing up!

[@usagijojo]

Eugene Jarvis is my favorite games industry figure bar none. Even when he wasn't directly designing or creating the games at Midway/Raw Thrills, his sphere of influence is apparent in nearly all of the games they published, and guys like Ed Boon owe a lot to his tutelage in game design.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Poor guy. That name is the best birth control ever.

[@timf7413]

To be fair, the game does provide an incentive for players to arrest rather than kill by awarding substantially higher points for arrests.

[@12guageINDIANAboy]

I like how you guys upload the James and Mike on Monday's videos a little after midnight. That means a lot to a graveyard shift working man at the hospital!

[@johnnybensonitis7853]

The NES game also lets you blow the enemies into pieces! Unfortunately, it had limited continues and was impossible. (True Fact)

[@KronnangDunn]

I finished that port back when I was like 14. It was not impossible...

[@CommodoreFan64]

I had the NES game, and yes it was very very hard, but possible to beat, but I only ever did it once legit with a friend, and all the other playthrews I'll admit where with a Game Genie.

[@johnnybensonitis7853]

I think I just didn't have the patience for it back then. If remember getting to get the third level where I would get my ass handed to me. I got this game in one of the many regrettable trades I made with another kid at school. Since there was no internet to look up games on, you just had to go by whether it sounded cool or not. I traded Battletoads for this :(

[@Billo1281]

Johnny Bensonitis Easy fix. The level where you're driving the car and killing the PCP addict, you can rack up plenty of points and get extra men to beat the game. At least that's what I did back then. Takes a little bit of time, though.

[@johnnybensonitis7853]

Billo1281 Damn, if I had known that I would have exploited the hell out of it! Too bad we weren't in the same neighborhood back then, I was the only kid who actually owned the game and very few had even played it lol.

[@FuzzyPuppet]

I knew he was gonna mention the Ninja Turtles scene! I always felt they used superior 3D graphics though for that scene that were not in the actual game! Let's see if I was right...

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

"I guess Lou Bega had though times after Mambo Number 5"

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

[@VeggieGamer]

Pretty sure those are homeless drug users rather than dealers! They don't even have any shoes on... at a glance this game is ultra weird!! 0_0

[@americasevilgenius]

Except that, for those of us growing up when this game hit the arcades, it wasn't weird at all!

[@newfiejesus]

it was the eighties. back then addicts didn't need therapy or counseling or methadone, they needed Mr. Forty Five.

[@Tekape]

ye propaganda stuff

[@rkrzyzanski1]

I can just feel the quarters leaving my pocket.

[@Chishannicon]

I don't think I've ever seen so much awesome crammed into one game.

[@brottarnacke]

The characters are obviously taking drugs themselves as they go.

[@delaneyc1356]

I just got out of school and saw this video and all I wanna say is thank you James and Mike for another awesome James and Mike Mondays, can't wait for the next one!

[@boxerblake1]

"What games do you ever kill dogs?" Resident Evil :)

[@WesHale]

This game is basically whats happening in the Philippines right now

[@Tekape]

wonders how it's nowadays

[@imjoeimjoe]

Or now...

[@Egeexyz]

Good lord the 80's and 90's anti-drug craze was so fucking stupid

[@oxykilldone5113]

Yes, but at least it spawned the comedic masterpiece that is Narc.

[@Ennis85]

How?

[@SidusNova]

That final boss really was magnificent.

[@chubbycatfish4573]

Oh, man, I haven't thought about this game in years.

[@MixMasterLar]

I bloody loved this game as a kid. Takes me back

[@alexanderbjerkvik]

Duterte's favorite game

[@Btester2]

Oof

[@reavravenhurst587]

Hot takes!

[@saskatoonguy]

Holy crap... this game looks great on arcade. I played the crap out of the NES version when I was kid but I had no idea this is what I was missing out on.

[@Fluoride_Jones]

"NARC: Judge Dredd 1988"... This *needs* a film adaption.

[@freakyfornash]

That would be great. We did sort of get a cartoon based off of it in 1990, with that being The Power Team, where Mr. Big, Spike, and Joe were the main villains in it also.

[@Fluoride_Jones]

@@freakyfornash I was unaware of that, which is weird because I was eleven in 1990 and surely would've watched it. Thanks!

[@freakyfornash]

@@Fluoride_Jones Welcome, and look it up on here when you can too.

[@Fluoride_Jones]

@@freakyfornash I will, thanks! :-D

[@benniup2555]

When I look at James and Mike, I feel like its way more cool beeing a nerd today, as when I was young :D

[@herculesrockefeller2984]

..The good ole days, back when PG movies had nudity and drug use

[@herculesrockefeller2984]

Wrath's Turntable Time Machine Rocksmash Attack (AKA The Mysterious Reuploader, Ace-edo Mask!) .. I learned the word 'fuck' from Critters.. although I think that had a pg-13 rating. Teen wolf was rated PG though, and they showed kids smoking pot and it glorified 'ghost riding'.

[@davo9129]

Damn do you comment on like everyone's comment?

[@davo9129]

Wrath's Turntable Time Machine Rocksmash Attack (AKA The Mysterious Reuploader, Ace-edo Mask!) Yup.

[@davo9129]

Wrath's Turntable Time Machine Rocksmash Attack (AKA The Mysterious Reuploader, Ace-edo Mask!) Lonely kid lul

[@Yophillips3272]

I believe European vacation was PG and it had nice set of boobies in it. Lol

[@JAC3DG33K]

This reminded me of the Power Team cartoon which had a bunch of NARC characters, based on LJN / Acclaim licensed games. Sounds like a perf Ct nerd episode. I can see you opening rant now: "LJN made a cartoon series based on their licensed $#!+ there isn't enough booze in this world to watch this" followed by a cut away skit to the Nostalgia Critic's Booze planet

[@Starscreamlive]

wbowen05. I was beginning to think I was the only one who remembered that show.

[@CrypticcYT]

The store names in the hooker level are pretty funny

[@WhiteManOnCampus]

I once had a dream where I was at a bar, Steve Buscemi was tending, and Cheech Marin and somebody else I can't remember came up and drank and chatted at different occasions. It was kind of bland and ordinary, but oddly compelling. Wish I could remember more about it.

[@1ButtonDash]

Anyone notice the end? "Congratulations You have completed the Narc TRAINING mission..." I wonder if you gotta be the game twice for the real ending? lol

[@sanicyouth6540]

In case you didn't know already there is a Capcom arcade game called Ghosts and Goblins where you have to beat the game twice in order to get the real ending.

[@jdoss3582]

Nah, it says "Contact your local DEA Recruiter" so the joke is that this game is preparing you to be a REAL drug officer lol

[@squarepainter]

I KNEW you guys were going to mention NARC in the TMNT movie

[@VeggieGamer]

"Hotel Le Snob" - I marked out.

[@Peter_1986]

I wonder if James and Mike know about lucid dreams, where you actually know that you are in a dreamworld and that you are asleep. Easily one of my favourite topics ever.

[@marktubes3419]

NARC takes place in the future, modern day Philippines today.

[@noisetv1863]

I've loved this game (nes) ever since I was a kid! you get more points for "busting" enemies, which you do by standing still on top of an enemy. you have to duck and shoot to kill the dogs. my favorite level is the one where you steal all the pot plants. the perverted clowns are pretty funny too... "kinky pinky"!

[@RavenHouseMystery]

That game looks awesome! What a final boss, too!

[@p3k1n0]

Rodrigo Duerte, in the Philippines, is making something like a real life version of NARC...

[@avidwriter2882]

I never understood how people have no problem killing other humans but dogs are a problem?

[@CreeperJ44]

Good thing they haven't visited China. They have a National Dog eating day pretty much.

[@jamesflames1591]

I remember Narc from my childhood. I never got that far tho. That final boss fight was awesome. Cool vid dudes

[@Retronow]

HONK KONG 97 was obviously this games sequel 😂

[@mistertagomago7974]

RETRO NOW! Narc is awesome though even if its more for novely value.

[@Stillenacht3D]

There was also a hair band back in the late 80's/early 90's called Mr Big.

[@Shiirow]

you can arrest people, thats what the BUST count is.

[@digiprez77]

Yup.

[@terracottapie]

You *could* theoretically play this game altruistically, and just "bust" all the guys by running into them and hovering over them (which arrests them and takes them off the screen), and the game rewards you with more points than just shooting them. But it's insanely hard and no one ever does it because it's more fun to just murder everybody.

[@Demonanimator]

I started drugs after this game, it was so much fun.

[@scottmefford6917]

Carrie's love interest in Sex and the City was also called Mr. Big.

[@benniup2555]

I love that click sounds. You dont have it on modern controllers or computers. Real classic 👍

[@eins2001]

They are modern

[@embrezar]

Wow, I have never actually watched James play a game as himself, I've only ever seen him as the Nerd. It's strange to see him acting like an actual person. Also, now I can put a face with the name "Mike Matei," which I've seen in the credits of every single AVGN video. I always thought Mike Matei was the guitar-playing dude that hid behind the couch that occasionally played/watched games with the Nerd. Man, it's been so long since I've seen a Nerd video, I had almost completely forgotten about this stuff... thanks, KZbin, for linking me to this video and bumping my nostalgia.

[@skinc4rver]

"You sold pot? WRONG! YOUR DEAD!" Aah yes, the Reagan Era of PSA.

[@lotus-prince]

12:10 The second-to-last boss in Art of Fighting was Mr. Big, I believe. There was also a Mr. Big with a claw for a hand in Live and Let Die.

[@GeorgRockallSchmidt]

Great work guys, you crazy crazy kids.

[@RamseyDewey]

Auto Duel, 1985, Commodore 64- also had a Mr. Big

[@gyromurphy]

you know you can arrest people too....kinda the other half of the game. oh well.

[@VOAN]

And earn extra lives as well.

[@TwistC]

Eric Tomlinson you can also kill them

[@TheBranchan]

They're too hardcore for that

[@jamierose9095]

They just wanna kill people! XD

[@NateB1976]

yeah it's obvious they have no idea what the game is about or how to really play it.

[@coach7636]

Brings back a lot of memories. Spent a lot of quarters on this game at the bowling alley

[@TechnicolorMammoth]

[@mreshadow]

I remember dropping a ton of quarters in the bowling alley on this one

[@YEAHIMAKEMOVIES]

the final boss in "sex in the city" is also called "Mr Big"

[@redsoxfan8105]

absolutely loved this game!! spent so many quarters in the arcade on this game!

[@jackmcslay]

Art of Fighting/King of Fighters had a Mr. Big too

[@danandjenphotography4967]

Ive got this on PS2 on a classic games thing. love the OTT 80s games!

[@cruz25617]

Mr Big from Art of Fighting SNES. End Boss.

[@FredCracklin]

Wasn't there also a Mr. Big in UHF, the guy that Weird Al's uncle owed money to?

[@figment1988]

Mr 617 there's also Mr. Big from Moonwalker

[@5roundsrapid263]

Alasondro Alegre Mr. Big was also a hair band. They had the last big power ballad before grunge took over. It was called "To Be With You."

[@smileydog5941]

Mr. Big . AKA: "Me"

[@gluserty]

That's true, and I really like that song. They also covered "Wild World", which I enjoy as well.

[@srhinckley6664]

There was a band out in the early '90s I think called Mr. Big, right at the close of the hair metal fad.

[@jew25624]

Wow watching this now is kinda interesting. “Why are these cops so violent and deadly?” Lol cause they’re cops

"Imagine a game where there's not fighting. You just walk around, hugging everyone..." You mean The Sims? XD

[@mulkytool]

It's crazy how amazing that final boss looked, like it was so detailed it looked better than most bosses in modern games.

[@Kraviken]

Watching the two of you is kind of like simulating having friends over. When it is just Mike, it is just strange. Lest the game is really nostalgic and/or good.. That dude on meds, lets just not mention him. Got to love it!

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

LMAO I never got the double standard regarding animal deaths in video games. Like you can kill depictions of people and aliens, but oh my god YOU KILLED A DOG ? Thankfully Wolfenstein and the RE series doesn't care.

[@lucasbarcellos3319]

Bucky•JaKRBT in Wolfenstein they're FILTHY NAZI DOGS, and in RE they're already dead, so it's okay.

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

Cause you know dogs really know what the fuck politics are right ? =))

[@lucasbarcellos3319]

Bucky•JaKRBT yup, in Wolfenstein, when you're not looking, they read Mein Kampf

[@101Volts]

Because dogs are often thought as cute and the have waggy tails, clearly.

[@Deflun2]

I think RE gets away with it because the dogs are technically already dead, lol

[@Hoardergamer]

one of my favorite arcade games of all time. Narc, terminator 2:judgment day and tmnt led to a pretty fun childhood.

After hearing Mike's dream about Arnold I feel like I have to tell about the time I met him. Dude's a weird guy. I work as a waiter at a decent restaurant in LA and he came in this weekend with a bunch of friends. I'll try to cliffs this: -go up to their table and try to contain my excitement that I'm waiting on the Terminator - Terminator looks at me and says he'll have a steak with ketchup , all his weird folk/hipster friends order. -As I leave to go back to the kitchen, Terminator walks behind me and tries to come in I ask him if he's looking for the bathroom. -He says no angrily and tells me he's there to cook his steak so the chef doesn't poison it, I try to tell him he can't do that and assure him that no one will poison his food Terminator ain't having it. -Manager comes and assures Terminator his steak won't be poisoned. Terminator asks him if he wants his teeth kicked in -Terminator and his friends are kicked out -When I go to leave that night, I see Terminator across the street wearing his jacket from Rambo -He keeps zipping the zipper up and down as he watches me drive away 1 comment

[@Jynirac]

I played this on the NES (rented) Could not beat Mr Big there. Apparently he is invincible until his glasses are knocked off but they cannot be knocked off so unkillable. Maybe I am wrong but pretty sure he was bugged. I was even looking up guides for it and could not find how to beat him back then.

[@themanfromutopia5827]

What are you playing this on? Midway Arcade Treasures 2?

[@masterlee1988]

MAME since they used Xbox 360 controllers and you can see the mouse cursor on the side.

[@BluesElwoo2]

Hey Mike, since you guys are playing the crazy Midway games in MAME, and youve already played smash tv and total carnage, you have to play the arcade version of Revolution X. I got it working with 2 PS4 controllers for 2 players, and it works really good. Its way better than T2 the arcade game, and it has tons of wackiness like the bosses in Narc, Smash T.V., and Total Carnage.

[@Goofy8907]

10:25 Come on guys, you have to play Undertale! Especially since James doesn't know about it. It'd be really interesting to see his reaction to everything.
