Arcade Longplay [725] Psychic 5

[@li-pinchang2157]

I remembered that this cabinet was at a dark corner of a local arcade in my neighborhood. Nobody played it, as the hot titles at that time were 1943, double dragon, and bubble bubble. However, the demonstration music of this game was very catchy. I often stood in front of it for like ten minutes just to listen to the tune.

[@jfunk513]

This has to be some of the best arcade music ever.

[@MotanelulsiPuiuletele]

The best I've ever heard in thousands of games. 😊

[@johnwardjr-ru2bx]

Hey,if it's Jaleco, it has to be that much good!!!

[@klaxer9224]

​@@johnwardjr-ru2bxnot Jaleco. NMK developed this brilliant game. Jaleco just publisher.

[@antoineperichon]

One of my best arcade memories from the 80's ! Love it !

[@jameslynch3959]

You have no idea how long I have been looking for this game !! I moved from UK to Australia in 86 and can remember countless minutes,hours and days playing this but couldn’t for the life of me remember the name or even how to describe it for help with the name Nostalgia squared my friend

[@drslaxmole3361]

Saw this in an arcade hall back in 1990 in a resort hotel on Gran Canaria, when I was 8 years old. I remember being completely being mesmerized by it. I was a bit hesitant to actually play it though, since the gameplay seemed so complicated. Could never forget it, so I've been keeping my eyes open for it ever since, but never came across it again until now, 31 years later! A truely bizarre expreience to see something as a 39 year old man that you haven't laid eyes on since you were an 8 year old child.

[@MotanelulsiPuiuletele]

You can even play it, using MAME. 😊

[@AbgebeSpermium]

Yes, the soundtrack was very ear-catching. Love it up to this date.

[@diegoimberti4398]

Una de las mejores canciones de todos los juegos de epoca. Maravillosos años de mi infancia

[@Fali_Melilla]

One of my favorite games! What a great memories... SCGLAUCHI yor are the one! I play it a lot of times and, you are a perfect player. I have no words

[@gavo1201]

Fali Rodríguez Is actually a very bad player.. no rabbit bonus, no perfect fruit bonus, and only 1.7M score?? It is a joke.. Mine was 12M and Im just a regular player.. Great game!!

[@jeremymosar9245]

​@@gavo1201i hope a day i will a bad player like him😅

[@alessiospinelli324]

Questo gioco è il mio preferito in assoluto,la sua musica mi fa piangere

[@Microbex]

The music was so catchy. Great game. I was a beast on this.

[@kharnifex]

[@r0sp01dr0f0b0]

best soundtrack ever

[@simonebulleri1975]

One of my favourite, i spent all my money in this in a arcade on Torquay waterfront, it was the summer of 1990!

[@maxtorena5049]

La música de este juego es simplemente excelente

[@baccy81]

This arcade machine was at the local swimming pool where they used to take me for a summer camp. I used to waste all my meal money on this game, I used to watch other play for hours then when finally was my turn it would be game over in a few seconds. I was in primary school and could reach the controllers just... At the time I thought older kids who could make any progress in this game were absolute monsters. Perhaps this was the first time I experienced frustration in my life.

[@murrfeeling]

Fake psychic: Reads minds Real psychic: smashes everything with a wooden mallet

[@francescozampognaro2544]

This is in Easy mode? I remember at least two hammer hits needed to kill an enemy

[@giuseppemulas8082]

This is easiest american-european version. You can recognise from yellow arrows that show the standard-ideal path to the boss. In the japanese version you've got to shoot enemies twice or, sometimes, three times.

[@Mr_Thunderbird]

​@@giuseppemulas8082sicuro? Io in Abruzzo ci giocavo spesso in sala giochi e non c'era nessuna freccia e i nemici non venivano oneshottati.

[@Fortuna1]

A plus: For the best ending, you MUST get the perfect bonus in every level, plus the all secrets bonus

[@shanefraser7764]

Stargazer in Wainuiomata circa 87 up stairs the Arcade had this game , loved playing it and had been searching for it since then. Also Karnov, bubble bobble, gunsmoke , circus circus, king fu etc great memories

[@HowlingMoonCinemas]

What nice music!

[@CarozQH]

NMK games generally have great music, check out Zed Blade on the Neo Geo!

[@chriz74]

Greatest game ever

[@Loader2K1]

This game looks absolutely weird to me. For a 30-year-old video game, though, the graphics and sound have held up gracefully in my humble opinion.

[@nikocontra4216]

Thanks you, what a great memories!!!

[@bujiaempastada]

Si habré jugado a este juego. Con 1 ficha edtaba como 50 minutos dándole. Q lindos recuerdos 🙌

[@VectorOmega]

This really needs to be put on the Hamster's arcade classics for multiple consoles and PC/Mac.

[@jeremym9011]

I agree. I like Hamster Corporation because they own the rights to all of the games from unknown or defunct companies that need to be respected and honored.

[@babcockandbobbins]

the only game i ever completed in an arcade. wish there was somewhere i could play it

[@misterjammypants2404]

It runs fine in arcade emulators such as mame.

[@DkViking1]

A remake "Psychic 5 Eternal" will be released on Nintendo Switch the 27th of July 2023.

[@babcockandbobbins]

@@DkViking1 thats great , thanks !

[@tonelemoan]

Totally new to me. That hover mechanic is straight out of Bomb Jack isn't it? Even the 'gravity' feels the same.

[@StranglerHC]

It is, but you dont have to smash buttons. this game is great, because for it´s time it was way ahead. one of jalecos masterpieces. same as wonderboy in monsterland.

[@Gothiczartan]

I remember played that game when I was in school years overseas South Korea.

[@Costikeke]

just how much weed was inhaled... what a strange little game

[@DkViking1]

A remake "Psychic 5 Eternal" will be released on Nintendo Switch the 27th of July 2023.

[@TheDouglas]

I remember always wanting to play as Bunta even when he was the wrong choice because he had a badass theme song.

[@materiagrezza9331]

2:13 This is the first time I see these names, because I always knew them by their Japanese names back in 2004 when I first had it on MAME.

[@Diegus-]

When I was a kid and went to arcades boys playing this game didn't finish it. They got stuck on last lvl iirc. I asked them why they didn't finish it. They told me the game didn't have an end. Now I see it was a lie :P

[@Ribbo]

guessing you have to use the old man for the killing blow else it doesn't finish

[@salvatoremuzzi5721]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Kededian]

Ah memorys...

[@Diegus-]

2:11 what's the difference between power and attack?

[@gaz9556]

Power is pushing doors open

[@Constantine06]

Mi juego! Todos los días a fines de los 80

[@DuwangKaizer]

Fun Fact: Boku no Natsuyasumi creator Kaz Ayabe programmed this game!

[@sixthspiceseventy7005]

Beautiful the game, graphics and music. And a little complicated rules. Is maybe for this reason that it was called "Psychic 5"?!

[@sakaerad]

Because the puppets are esper.

[@guillermoalfredoazar3744]

sabes como obtener el gold bonus en todos los items? es bastante fácil aprenderlo, pero no es fácil ponerlo en práctica, al menos desde el nivel 3 en adelante

[@danieliquiqueyt]

like for the extraordinary songs

[@jr002q2044]

For me this perfect retro! The boss music n the completion of a level/ intro to the next. Just saying I love it! wish I could get the arcade. x

[@Dimensiom]

I have looked but I cannot find any longplays of Psychic, Psychic 2, Psychic 3 or Psychic 4. I just find longplays of this game.

[@GoombaKiller171]

Huh, a game with psychic children (and an old man) as protagonists. It's like Earthbound before Earthbound.

[@gruggyo]

With a splash of megami tensei on the side.

[@Deathkicker666]

Dat ding stand damals bei uns inner pommesbude :)

[@lazyman1011]

Hab da ewig nach gesucht indirekt und bin dank nem Tip hier hin gekommen. Ebenfalls Pommesbudenkind miz Automat und später Flipper;)

[@yapanm]

35 lat temu w to grałem. Przechodzić bez kontynuacji nauczyłem się szybko. A potem to maksowanie wyników zbieranie pop kolei owocków dla większego wyniku a EXTRA to już tak opanowane mam założę się że pobiję każdego na świecie. Gość ewidentnie nie ogarnia kiedy skrzynki rozbijać.

[@jaymanilla289]

does anyone know the name of a game just like this. when i died a giant foot squashed me. i played it on an arcade when i was little. i dont know what game it was though.

[@oscarortega8769]

Muchos recuerdos de este juego faltó la jugada de los 8 gatos que muy pocos la saben y sacar el flaco en el segundo tablero pero 👍👍👍

[@darkeness123]

[@RufianEmbozado]

Awesome play! And pretty reckless here and there (envy oozing through my ears).

[@nightowl8936]

You are playing in God mode or something. At 32:11 or so you land in flame and didn't die ... so it's not skill.

[@ArcadeFan77]

This is not a cheat. You can enter the flame from the moment you touch the light switch. The flame causes death only when the light comes back on completely.

[@sebastianribeiro1335]

This is the easy version of the game

[@flyguille]

NOTE: The game is wrong, MAME bug,, the DIP swtching is wrong,, he is killing with one hammer hit without no powers up, so it losses the game nature of chosing the right character or each part of the map , also pushing the barriers it is like eight time for the girl 4 times for the skinny boy, 1 or 2 times por the fat boy. So, seeing these gameplays sucks because they are not playing with the rules of the real machine. I already tested the latest version of MAME changing the dip switches doesn''t work,, and the bug persist, it is like super easy mode always.

[@lazyman1011]

Was wondering, thanks for explanation. Looks like a hack/cheat/trainer-mode for me.

[@lisvender]

How dare he play an ancient game that like twelve people have heard of improperly

[@flyguille]

@@lisvender it was the ROM version, the japanese version is the original and dificult as must be.

[@lisvender]

@@flyguille I really wish I cared, man. It’s just not that important
