The Most Savage Continue Screens - Arcade console documentary

4:11 The person who performs CPR on Frank Castlr is David "Microchip" Lieberman (aka "Micro) who at the time was the Punisher's go-to tech guy. Also the man performing CPR on Nick Fury is Alexander Pierce (then a member of S.H.I.E.L.D) while the woman watching is Kathleen Neville who used to be Nick's love interest. It's clear that the people who made the game were huge fans of the franchise and they clearly did their homework.

[@jontytran]

The three Final Fight continue screens were equally disturbing and frightening in their own special way, but the arcade version Ninja Gaiden (Shadow Warriors) had the best (and the most disturbing) continue screen in history in my own opinion: the buzzsaw slowly lowering down on the character, killing him if a coin isn't inserted in time. Disturbing but fascinating.

[@kyokusagani8869]

Data East's "Bandit" has a brutal one where you're given the Electric Chair if you don't continue! All the games in the video are classic examples, great research!

The Destroyer from Jail, an arcade game from Philko released in 1991. Also has a continue screen where you are getting zapped in the electric chair.

[@erneststackhouse1133]

That was cool to know the 1st continue video game out there! My favorite is Mortal Kombat 4: Just watching them fall was kind of hypnotic & for me anyway it was so good i never did put in another quarter to continue! The ending to this video is your best ever! Going to be hard to beat that ending! This comment is over. If you like to continue you have 3 seconds to hit continue. 3 - 2 - 1 - 0. GAME OVER.

[@Starshipdiscovery]

Learning to make quick financial decisions under pressure was a valuable life skill that has benefited me immensely. Thanks arcades 😅

[@mrf19741]

While Tecmo Knight's continue screen was pretty gruesome, the intro screen was the stuff of nightmares. On the screen, a creature had its mouth wrapped around a man's head and its claw around the man's arm. A few seconds later, it snapped the man's head off and ripped his arm out of its socket. If that wasn't bad enough, on the next screen, it shows a woman being held down by her neck by a large green hand with a terrified look on her face. Seconds later, she's stabbed in the face with a sword. Those are images that have been with me since I was a kid and I'll never forget them.

[@Tony_Cardoza]

I just watched that, and yeah that is pretty gruesome. If I'd witnessed that as a child it definitely would have stuck with me.

I love the MK4 one, they fall for 10 seconds, given the terminal velocity of a person is about 120 mph / 200 kmph, means they are falling 556 meters, or half a km, or 1/3 of a mile. The spikes are redundant, a fall that long alone would kill you, and they never even hit the sides!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

But it sure looks cool

[@Hypno_BPM]

you’re using Earths physics , whose to say that well is on earth 😂

[@FNHot]

@@Hypno_BPM MK 1 is on earth, MK3 is on earth, MK2 and 4 handle the same as 1 and 3. IE The jumping is the same, the projectiles travel the same speeds, walking and running are the same. So it's safe to assume even though they take place in different realms, the gravity is close to the same as earths. If Outworld or the Neather realm handled differently, floaty like the moon, or labored like Jupiter, I would have factored that in.
