I wish Kid Niki Radical Ninja would've made the list. That was one of my favorites from 1986 and STILL IS TODAY !

[@gameplayfirst6548]

Wow. Bubble Bobble was years ahead of it's time. Tight gameplay and great music. Most arcade games of the 80s hurt my ears.

[@brantnuttall]

WOW! There really were a lot of excellent games released that year!

[@srsportinguista]

Gracias por estos recopilatorios, son geniales para descubrir juegos que no conocía.

[@tuffteddy1446]

Love the animations in Arkanoid and Bubble Bobble. So perfect!

[@douglasfernandes9969]

in that year of 86 were released many classics that entered into the history of games.

[@segasonic9117]

I love Bubble Bobble but OUTRUN is by far the greatest arcade game of 1986. Not only because it is an amazing game but because of the incredible technical leap the game represented. SEGA arcade games were always well ahead of the other companies (just look at the other games in the video!) but OUTRUN is one of THE most influential games in history. Plus it has the most iconic soundtrack of all time! Also, "Renegade" was released in 1987, Kunio-kun was released in 1986.

[@iammrberserker6068]

yeah tough call ..im a huge fan of both and also arkanoid...I play bobble daily as I have the taito legends on ps 2 such a colourful and simplistic and very addictive...1= would not be out of place in this countdown

[@jeremiahroa9969]

Sega was the best arcade company in the 80's. Capcom in the late 80s and early 90s.

[@scottfree8122]

Great video mate! So many classics in one year! For me '86 will always be the year of Outrun. I just love that game. Pure masterpiece!

[@fordprefect4728]

bubble bobble and rygar were my fav's from that yr, never cared for outrun, I was never into racing games unless they had weapons in them like mariokart,road blasters or spyhunter.

[@joacoysusinventos]

RIGAR tendria que estar entre los mejores 5 juegos de ese año tremendo juego por muchos muchos años se jugo en todos lados con las maquinitas que lindos recuerdos 💯

[@sunsetwatcher7]

the quality of your vids are the best!

[@lauradunn1947]

70s and 80s games look really cool to play

[@fabiociurleo581]

Increíble que en 1986 existían juegos con gráficos tan buenos. Ni hablar del final fight y las tortugas ninjas de 1989

[@squiddly007]

Great video. Takes me back to being a kid. So many good games came out in 86.

[@synthpopfreak5042]

...Technos' 1986 Xain'd Sleena (Solar Warrior), will be missed...but, thanks for the reminder of 'Breakthrough', weren't be for your compilation, I wouldn't have never remember it!

[@elzorro35]

Se ven buenos. Este fin de semana me dedicaré a jugar algunos.

[@vmbo]

Am I the only one who would love a real 3D Bubble Bobble adventure? I just love the characters and bubble mechanics

Thanks for your video, great source of inspiration to me for making nice pack for my build. Thanks again 🙂 and by the way, discover new game to play

[@Hektols]

Un año tremendo. Me llamó especialmente la atención lo nítidos que se veían los juegos de Atari, muy poco pixelados comparados con el resto.

[@JohnHenrySheridan]

Good fun, thanks!!

[@luisreyes1963]

Quite the year for arcade games, 1986. Incidentally, Salamander was called Life Force in the US.

[@ktoescos]

@ crazyclimber80 Glad to see you remembered Kid Niki. I had just left a comment saying : " I wish Kid Niki Radical Ninja would've made the list ".

[@crazyclimber80]

@@ktoescos I actually prefer the NES port. Lots of secret bonus areas not appearing in the arcade game.

[@ktoescos]

@@crazyclimber80 That's true, actually in my opinion the NES port seems to be more difficult to beat as well.

[@joshuaguenin9507]

i seem to recall of a few of these with different names.....

[@stipe29]

Probablemente el año que más jugué a los arcades. Para mí el mejor fue Iron horse sin duda, por muchos motivos. Y no me puedo creer que no hayas puesto Xaind Sleena un juegazo de aquel año. Lo popular no siempre es lo mejor, creo. Yo no soportaba algunos de la lista ja ja. Saludos.

[@TROldSchoolGamer]

El Xaind Sleena y el Chiller los tenía en mi primera lista. El primero lo quité porque tiene algunos bugs y en algunas zonas me se ralentiza mucho, puse a break thru que me parece un juego más sólido en lo jugable. Y el Chiller lo quité por la violencia. Es difícil hacer un TOP en este año..., dependerá de tú edad, pero es que los del primer puesto son prácticamente mis juegos favoritos de la infancia... Wonder Boy, Ikariwarriors, Outrun y Bobble Bubble.

[@stipe29]

Bueno, es difícil como tu dices. Pero a este año le tengo mucho cariño y aún así a parte de Xain Sleena hay juegazos como Trojan, Legendary Wings, Solomons Key, Dangar, Kyros, Tokio y más que me parecen bastante mejores que muchos de la lista, pero claro eso siempre es subjetivo y depende de los que haya jugado uno en aquella época, pues le tiene más cariño a unos que a otros. Iron horse solo por la música que es una obra maestra de los arcades ochenteros ya merece estar en el top 5. Para mí es mejor hacer listas sin top, es decir, sin número de orden: así te ahorras problemas para razonar porque es mejor el 7 o el 8, por ejemplo, ja, ja.

The good stretch of games near the end saved this year!! It was pretty ugh for 2/3 of it.

[@cuclis]

Juegos con volante, volantes, manillar, rueda, joystick giratorio, varias pantallas,... Definitivamente, algunas experiencias son irrepetibles.

What year did the mid-80s crash end?

[@avivmizrachi4382]

Really wanted to love 720, the music was awesome, like could / should have been a terminator soundtrack, and game looked awesome, but couldn't ever "get control" of the game... anyone else same issue?

1- Bubble Bobble 2- Out Run 3 to 20 - Facepalming the 1 and 2

[@eymannassole6162]

I've never played "wonder boy", but I am quite familiar with "adventure island"... *same game*?

[@AxlHeisenberg]

Rygar

[@ShinobiShowdown]

I pretty sure that was the original Outrun not Outrun 2. Outrun came out in 1986 and Outrun 2 in 2003.

[@Hektols]

That 2 was the game's position in the ranking.

[@jordanjackson6151]

Iron Horse = Side Scrolling Hack & Lash Whip Em' Up.

[@jordanjackson6151]

Loved Darius, though the game itself hates giving me a fair chance. Same with Rygar (no continues past level 23...grrrr...and there were more levels after that...) Bubble Bobble is good fun. 720°. Loved the game and it's music, too bad I suck at that just the same. Gauntlet... never had enough coins to hang in there long enough. Seems like I enjoy games that I just can't win. Arkanoid.....can you say, "Doh!"?

[@jordanjackson6151]

Rampage is even funner on the Atari Lynx which I played more. Ikari Warriors......ABBA.....

[@rickyramirez2827]

El rolling thunder es c9mo el de shinoby!?

[@pedrerickz6953]

Necesito el nombre de un juego. Es de temática como el Ghost and Goblins pero de perspectiva aérea como el Dark Adventure. Pero sus gráficos no superan a Ramón 3 jaj. Arcade 80's y el protagonista es un calvo de rojo. Con un power Up quedaba de torso descubierto y pantalones amarillos.

y el Chiller?? xD
