The music on the truck/train levels is one of the best background tunes on any arcade game, an absolute banger. Great choice of a legendary arcade game to cover, Patman!

So awesome that part of it's melody was stolen for Richter Belmont. Appearing in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood & Symphony of the Night.

I played the Amiga Version in my Childhood. My Buddy and me loved all those Ninja Movies of the 80s and often played Ninja in the Garden, so this Game was perfect for us.

[@pbabiesinspace6112]

Me too! I was pretty much the only kid in America with a commodore Amiga 500 and everyone loved my version way more than their crappy nes version ....minus the loading times. Some of those were pretty rough.

[@cybercop0083]

Wasn’t the amiga version the one, where the Dudes kept yelling „Hopp! Hopp! Nuhhhhh! Hopp nuuuhhhhh!“??

Played this one a lot in the '80s. It was the loudest game in Aladin's Castle. Robo Cop 2 also showed this arcade game in the background. You can hear the dogs barking in the film. I also believe the game Guacamele 2 makes fun of the game, showing the scene at the beginning.

[@daxherring630]

Bad dudes…can still remember playing it and beating it in the arcade…one of the first beat ‘em ups you could go into an arcade with $2-$3 in quarters and beat the game. It was awesome. Loved it on the nes also

I remember I had just seen a couple of The American Ninja movies and after seeing this in the arcade I became obsessed with it. When it came out on the NES we rented it constantly but could never find a store actually selling it.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

This game was pure 1980s. Thanks

[@loki.odinson]

One of my favorite games of all time. Me and a friend of mine used to fill this old arcade machine with quarters when we were kids. This is one of the granddaddies of beat-em-ups, and I'm so thankful I got to enjoy it when I was young. When it came out on the NES, we were so excited and rented it from our local Gas City gas station. I remember playing this for hours and hours on his old NES. Good times. Great memories. Thanks again for the excellent trip down memory lane. Your channel is one of my absolute favorites on KZbin. Please keep doing what you're doing. 😊

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Putting quarters on a machine is something every retro gamer from the early 80s has some sort of familiarity with. I can recall doing it with Pac-Man and the entire marquee was filled with quarters :-) thanks for sharing your members. Thanks

[@soulred5195]

For some reason the arcade I went to in the late 80s apparently had the Japanese version. I distinctly remember the Dragon Ninja title screen, and the different sound effects. All these years I thought I was crazy and I had just been remembering it wrong! Thanks for clearing that up for me!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

When I had the Amiga version back in the day I was always disappointed that the voice samples Were missing when everything else as far as audio was pretty close to the original. Little did I know that they were there just from the Japanese version. Pretty cool

[@Ah-ed6ie]

The ending is different too

[@erics8192]

in the 1980s random ninja attacks were a big problem, thankfully due to the abundance of bad dudes they were eventually defeated

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

[@nashvillan4lif]

My little contribution to the story. I used to 1CC the arcade game back in the day and discovered (at least in the American version) that the score caps at 999,999. I once point pressed this game and was able to achieve this score BEFORE reaching the final boss (which the Dragonninja alone is worth 400,000 points).

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Holy cow that's fantastic

[@joerussell9574]

I spent a lot of quarters on this game and was so dang happy when the NES version came out. I always played alone so it didn't bother me on the lack of coop. I loved that NES vesion and beat it many times just like I did on my arcade emulator nowadays! It was as a faithful port as one could ask for on 8bit!

[@thedrunkmonkshow]

It's a shame this game never got ported over to the Sega Genesis. Two Crude Dudes was pretty cool but I would have much preferred this original than the sequel. Aside from reducing some of the colors and cutting back the total amount of enemies on screen at once it could have been more than possible. Especially back then as Data East was on a roll with releasing games for the platform in the early 90s. I've read a couple people say the game was past it's prime and too old back when the Genesis was hot. If that's the case they wouldn't have released Joe & Mac 3 years later from it's Arcade release in 1994. But anyway, excellent review as always and thanks for The History of Rampage last week! 😎

I always thought the Arcade game was called, Two Bad Dudes. Then the NES was just called, Bad Dudes because you could only play as one player. I was looking for this game for years, but it wasn't until fall of 2023 when I got the Data East Collection on my Mini EverCade. Then I realized I've been looking for the wrong title all these years: it was just Bad Dudes! It is always fun to watch your videos especially the sound part of it.

In West Germany, this was Dragon Ninja In South Carolina, I saw Bad Dudes vs Dragon Ninja, and now Bad Dudes on my Switch. Now let's get a burger!

I grew up with the NES port and i always thought that Animal was a robot because when you hit him it looks like his face is caving in

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

He kind of looks like it

I can't believe they have Karnov "Flipping You the Bird" in the Amstrad version. Yeah, that's easily the best version now, lol

The blue Japanese drink with the P is probably Pocari Sweat. When I beat this as a kid i would always salute President Reagan lol

The music in the NES port is a LOT more lively than the Arcade original. As for the conversion, it was done by developer Sakata SAS, in which they also did the NES version of Robocop, also published by Data East. Sakata SAS also developed the Super Famicom port of the Neo Geo game, Sengoku.

Seems about right, could call
