Best KONAMI Arcade Games

Simpsons arcade and Turtles in Time were my absolute childhood favorites. :)

P.S. Arcade 1up is Coming out with a Simpsons Arcade Cabinet as well.

[@edwardgaines6561]

To this day it still boggles my mind why that game was never ported to Sega or SNES.

[@chinohja]

Run n Gun 2 was amazing. Spent the summer of 97 in the arcades playing that game non stop

[@perfectblue8443]

nowadays, it's hard to even think that this Konami ever existed. A company that delivered the best games in the business

[@pizzacrumz1777]

They did great with sprite based games but they never developed well into the 3D polygon era of videogames of the late 90s.

[@Ric_Roar]

@@pizzacrumz1777 Um... Metal Gear Solid games?

[@michaelhoule2134]

Yup, konami used to stand kick ass gaming.

[@Rech_B]

Me resulta interesante como Konami en los 90's seguía llamando la atención con otros géneros a pesar de que los juegos de pelea opacaban todo lo demás en los arcades.Gracias por el compilatorio

[@dbsarcade]

This is a great video! There are SO MANY Konami classics I forgot about. Thanks for this post.

[@laurawinchester586]

Cuando veo tus videos me dan ganas de jugar todos jajajaj Muy buen video!!! Saludos!!

konami was great in the 80s and early 90s for arcade games but i must say that konami ruled on the snes and n64 for the titles they released, was great times playing all these games and well done for making my childhood a magical one ❤❤❤

I completely forgot about games like Green Beret and Jail Break, Konami really did make some fantastic games.

we had a 6-player at my local Aladdins Castle. TNT Entertainment has a video showing them packing up the arcade cab to ship somewhere and its pretty interesting how Konami made it able to break down and how it displayed the double screen

[@JohnSTF72]

Fun fact: Ajax at 13:41 was called "Typhoon" in Europe. Never seen some of the older games like 'Battlantis', 'Black Panther', 'Fast Lane', 'Hyper Crash', 'Trick Trap' or 'Surpise Attack' in our arcades. Konami was really one of the best and most active companies in the arcades during the 80s and 90s. Thanks for this really nice video.

[@Darknight0681]

You CANNOT do a Konami list of arcade games without mentioning Dance Dance Revolution and the Bemani series. That’s ignoring one of the FEW things they still actually put out in arcades now.

[@iangillan2858]

Que grandes juegos! Aliens, Asterix, Sunset riders y Xmen fueron de mis favoritos. Por desgracia en mi ciudad los salones jamas apostaron por Konami a la hora de los juegos de peleas, algunos tienen una pinta genial!

[@Deckard76]

Daaammn, just awakened forgotten memories of spending all my dads change in the pub on Frogger when that clip came up!

[@neonparadise3095]

Saludos desde Brasil, excelente contenido.

[@MidBoss666]

I really loved how Konami would nopt only make great arcade games (and creative ones too, I mean, who'd thought The Simpsons and Asterix would make such amazing beat 'em ups), but would go the extra mile to add something new to home ports (if mostly to excuse the lesser quality), like bonus levels and bosses in the TMNT beat 'em ups.

My Top 10 My Favorite Konami Arcade Games of All-Time 10. The End 9. Scramble 8. Time Pliot 7. Circus Charlie 6. Twinbee 5. The Simpsons 4. TMNT 3. VS The Goonies 2. Lifeforce 1. Detana Twinbee

[@WaveGazer]

It's a shame Konami doesn't make good games anymore.

[@thecommenter3977]

Maybe because they turned MGS and Silent Hill into pachinko machines.

[@DaPlatinumJedi]

They focus more of their BEMANI line of games as of late. DanceDanceRevolution (DDR), beatmania IIDX, Dancerush Stardom, Sound VOLTEX (SDVX) GITADORA, just to name a few.

[@segasonic9117]

@thehb2k I don't know about that. KONAMI's arcade games were no where near top 3 in the 80's or 90's. TAITO and DATA EAST were far above KONAMI who were home console first, arcade second. They made far better console games. They were the absolute KING of the Super Famicom! Their arcade hardware was always lackluster when compared to SEGA and CAPCOM who were No.1 and No.2 respectively in the 80's and 90's. Just compare Crime Fighters to Final Fight or Golden Axe, they were released the same year! Even the far more impressive TMNT from '89 was far simpler graphically than anything SEGA or CAPCOM put out. It was not until Violent Storm that KONAMI finally had a beat em up to compare with CPS1/2/SYSTEM-16/18. SYSTEM-32 still blew it (and the CPS-2 for that matter) away though. No doubt they made some CLASSICS and much improved games and hardware in the 90's, but if not for their US licensing, their arcade game classics would be far fewer. I do, however, consider Violent Storm one of THE greatest beat em ups of all time. Why the hell there was no Saturn and PS1 port, I will never know. I still miss the KONAMI that made amazing SFC, MEGA-DRIVE, PC Engine, Saturn and PS1 games though. PS2 KONAMI already showed signs of their lost magic...

[@Bangcat]

Jackal was one of the true greats of the time for a shooter like that. Me and some neighborhood kids use to play it a LOT back on the Nintendo version.

[@niceanddestroyed]

Very nice video. It lacks Konami Ping Pong and laserdisc games like Bad Lands.

[@elbravovierde8010]

What a great compilation!

[@AR-xd3dp]

Punk shot is an interesting combo concept and i never knew they made game based on roller durby

[@MyKokujin]

You can tell Konami developers were sitting in the office thinking hmm what kind game will I create next that nobody has done.

I wish we would get a Konami Beat em up collection like the Capcom one that was release a lil while ago. Metamorphic Force, Bucky Ohare, Turtles, X-Men, Simpsons - I know that would be a licensing nightmare but I can dream.

[@ChicagoRetroGamer]

OH man, so many great games!

[@hdkanalab1858]

Konami hat ne bleibende Erinnerung bei mir hinterlassen. In meiner Jugend habe ich die Spiele geliebt und auch heute noch machen sie Spaß. Schade das man nicht z.B. für die PS4 ganze Arcade Collectionen rausbringt . Ein paar gibt es ja u.a. von Capcom, SNK und Co. Diese Klassiker haben für mich immer noch einen gewissen Reiz!!!

[@christopherlock4703]

rock n rage and contra were very good games for their time. thing about 80s games could not be replicated on home computer. so it was a joy either to go to chippy to play one or two arcade games. or wait to go to seaside to arcade for over 30 or more different arcade games.

[@robertrice9466]

Devastators, I have been looking for the name of this game for ages tracking thru KZbin videos. Great game I was well good at it. 😂😎

[@Kashmir23]

I tried to get every Konami game (silver cartridge) I could find. Maybe other than The Adventures of Bayou Billy, they didn’t make a flop, and you can even enjoy parts of it. If you were good enough to make it into later levels if the game, there are some awesome graphics and fun game play. On the NES had no competition, I secretly always wanted to see their version of a baseball and football game. I wonder what we would have ended up with, because Blades of Steel and Double Dribble can still be enjoyed today, depending on what you’re looking to experience and enjoy. The first time my guy threw his gloves down and their was a whole separate game with a fight meter for health I was blown away!!!! Konami was so far ahead of the others. Some of their NES games graphically are superior to many SNES games, that’s how well they utilized what that had to work with as far as bits and memory and sprites etc. For those who aren’t old enough, during this time period circa 1988, you could only go by the art work on the box, or pick games because of the silver box. To this day it’s the only Games I bought strictly because of the company making the games, before and after I have never truly considered buying a game because of the company that produced it. Good luck and best wishes to anyone looking to go back and enjoy these gems for the first time. Castlevania Symphony of the Night on the PS1 is a descendant of these early Castlevanias and in my opinion one of the top 25 games ever made!!!!

[@Bloodreign1]

There's a few noticeable games missing here, like the original Twinbee, and Taisen Puzzle Dama, as well as Tokimeki Memorial Taisen Puzzle Dama. But other than that, nice job.

Konami were great at Platforms, Shooters and Beat em up's, but not so much on head to head fighting games. SNK and Capcom take the place on that.

[@KenMasters.]

Konami could’ve made a hit fighting game franchise out of *Yie Ar Kung-Fu,* but they messed up that opportunity. • The MSX/Famicom version should've been *Yie Ar Kung-Fu I.* • The Arcade version at 9:08 should've been *Yie Ar Kung-Fu II.* • That SFII knock-off called "Martial Champion" at 38:35 should've been *Yie Ar Kung-Fu III.* • And so on with more YAKF sequels that competes against popular 3D fighting games!

I know Capcom and disney had a partnership, however, for arcade titles, Konami and disney could’ve made a great working relationship. could you imagine some adventure titles with disney characters? heck, Konami would’ve ruled by giving us games from the big networks for kids, Nick and Cartoon Network. just getting emotional thinking of the dexter’s lab, KND, ed edd and eddy, and spongebob titles that could’ve been.
