Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa review [Arcade] - SNESdrunk

[@MangooseGG]

When I got to my first unit in the Army, I made a C.O.W.boys of moo Mesa reference and one dude actually got it. Ended up being one of my best friends

[@PhazonOmega]

That's amazing! The show was fun, and one of those I could see showing my kids instead of cringing at the thought "I liked this?" So many jokes I didn't get until I grew up, too. Genuinely underrated!

[@nicholastosoni707]

💟

[@4Legacy]

That's awesome. I became best friends with a kid in 6th grade, because we were both drawing an All That logo lol

[@Igarappappa]

What was the reference?

[@MangooseGG]

@@Igarappappa a kid we called smeagol tried to take ninja stars to Afghanistan and I said you need to be an anthropomorphic cow with a special gun to use those.

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

Okay, the eagle flying our literal cowboy finally got me. Anything that shameless deserves our support.

[@youremakingprogress144]

I like that your reviews specify what's good and bad about each game, instead of just making general statements about the overall quality. It makes it much more useful in deciding whether or not to search out a game. Please keep making these great videos.

[@losttribe3001]

Holy hell! SNES Drunk is pulling a long forgotten memory out of the back of mind that I haven’t thought of for 30 years! I totally had forgot this was a thing back in the day.

[@thenostalgiafactor5023]

Total length of video: 305 secs. Total length of "SNES Drunk": 3 secs. .98% of the video was spent listening to "SNES Drunk". Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@thecunninlynguist]

Never cared for or actively watched the show, but the game is fun and is animated beautifully...does look like the cartoon.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

Between the game and the show I definitely think the game is still worth playing the show is fine for what it was but without nostalgia attached to it it's not much these days.

Thanks to SNES drunk im watching Moo Mesa by myself while drinking on Christmas Eve. Thank you.

I’m a big fan of the 80s and 90s Konami legacy, but Capcom’s beat em up gameplay from that era feels markedly more polished by comparison

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

@@nocuh Both Konami and Capcom were in fine top form during this time. I think a lot of their games have held up better but Konami still made amazing stuff back then.

[@peb475]

Love the graphics in this game.

[@drzerogi]

I loved this game in the arcade. The owner accidentally (or purposefully?) set it on free play, and I'd play it whenever I was broke. It was a lot of fun.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

People like that are always cool. I remember sometimes I would be around when the guy would collect the coins out of the machines and he would just put like a thousand credits for me and I'd be like wow good people do exist.

[@dutchweeks1]

I was one of those fans. I was 5-7 years old when it was still on tv, so it was perfect timing :)

Great game! I was one of those kids who knew about this random show. Lol. Trying to explain it to your friends was not easy lol

[@TheBronyBraeburn]

Ikr? Somehow it was easier to accept the idea that turtles became humanoid through mutation and learned martial arts then wrap one's head around anthropomorphic cows who dressed and acted like cowboys.

Just the kind of decent review I would expect right before Christmas, Drunk. Godspeed my friend, may 2021 see more fantastic reviews.

[@DaRealJohnDaGamer64]

Oh man, I remember playing this at the Circus Circus arcade in Las Vegas (the Midway as it was called) when I was a kid. Back when it was a real arcade and wasn't a ticket game gambling hall for kids. This game was such a blast. No hookers giving you a thank you quickie in this game. Got to love Sunset Riders, lol. I'd love to see this get released on current gen consoles.

[@ZeroWalker26]

Thanks for a great video and happy holidays from Sweden. Man I this game looks so fun.

[@PhazonOmega]

Excellent kid's show! Watched it when I was young, and it was so fun and corny, and was like one big spoof of classic Westerns like Gunsmoke. The game looks well done and fun, which is a pleasant surprise for something based on a children's TV show.

[@drgribb]

Yeah, I used to dig it too. I don't think it ever got syndicated though, so there seems to be a really small window of ages of people who remember it, who either weren't too young to remember or weren't too old for those kinds of shows.

[@orinanime]

A fun video of a game I've never heard of! Based on a show that I heard of growing up but never saw. From one of my all-time favorite youtubers! And he said "any way you can!" Which always makes my day for some reason. It's going to be a good day! I hope YOU have a great rest of your day. And have a great Christmas Eve! And a Merry Christmas! Or a Happy Whichever Holiday you celebrate.

Great point about the sound environment of the arcade being very different from the home environment. 🎧

My brother was absolutely obsessed with this show when he was around 3-4. That's the same period where we first got into SNES. If he knew there was an arcade game he would have gone crazy. I've got to tell him about this!

[@underoath048]

I loved this game as a kid. A local YMCA had it in there lounge area with a couple other pinball/arcade cabinets.

[@Spectralhyena]

I had a bunch of these toys and I don’t remember the cartoon, but I do remember these toys from Burger King I think is where they were from where they were like the cows in planes but the wings were curved and it basically doubled as a gaudy chunky bracelet. I feel like they were related to this franchise but I feel like maybe not at the same time.

[@TheBronyBraeburn]

I wish they'd port this officially to some system.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

It makes me wonder how tied up this is it's probably mostly got to do with Konami. I mean I'm still waiting for X-Men, The Simpsons and TMNT to get back onto PSN/XBLA. I still can't believe that now that Disney owns X-Men and Simpsons that has not been resolved yet.

[@TheBronyBraeburn]

@@JohnDoe-wq5eu I wonder if Konami fears that the Moo Mesa game won't sell because few people know the show or the game. I say if they advertise it as "the closest thing you'll get to a Sunset Riders sequel" it'll sell.

[@raphaelfp]

Holy crap I remember the cartoon, it was ok and kinda goofy but I didn't care much about it at the time. On the other hand, this looks a lot of fun! Never heard about the arcade previously and it's a shame it didn't get any console port. I love the cartoonish feel and the concept of a more forgiving Sunset Riders with some extra moves. Maybe if I played this I would pay more attention to the source material back then Happy holidays to you and yours, Alex! Greetings from Brazil!

[@ottagol1985]

NO MOO FOR YOU

[@cretaius]

My local arcade had this for several years I was about 10 when it first came out and even in my 20s it was still there! If I had some coins and time to spare I would jam this game, and after playing it so many times I learned all of the bosses’ patterns and able to complete it without losing a life. Also, when you complete the game you would go back to stage one with all your lives and score intact, and I remember being so bored one day I did 4 playthroughs via this feature xD. Good times.....

omg a Biker Mice from Mars reference. One of my favourite lines from the first episode where the Mice rescue Charley: "you were expecting Turtles, maybe?" LOVE THAT SHOW. Yes, 100% a Turtles clone but so much fun.

[@baalfgames5318]

Is that what it's a reference to? I thought it was supposed to be a reference to the third Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, or maybe even the Angry Video Game nerds review of Fester's Quest.

[@AJR-zg2py]

@@baalfgames5318 It's also a reference to TMNT like you mentioned - replace "Turtles" with "Addams Family." It was also used in Biker Mice From Mars - hard to tell which was the first because they were both in production at roughly the same time.
