Yakumo1975 Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Said to be the first ever arcade game to feature parallax scrolling, Moon Patrol is something of an industry innovator but how is it as a game? Let's take a look at Moon Patrol over many different formats. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Dragon Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 You were spot on about the ST version. And to think,games like this were going to be launch titles for Project Robin apparently?. Good job the ST console concept was shelved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianC Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Glad to see the MSX version covered. Too bad there weren't more JP ports of the game. I'm glad Hamster's Arcade Archives series has it. I love playing it on Switch. Original JP AC version spells Continue as "Countinue" on the continue screen. I have the Atari 2600 and Atari 800 versions on cart and like them quite a bit. Funny thing about the A800 version is that it still has the symbols of the 5200 controller shown on the menu screen.

Yep, the ST version is just awful. how on earth they thought that was a good idea for a console is beyond me. Glad to see the MSX version covered. Too bad there weren't more JP ports of the game.

They really did get lazy with that port. New video. Long long ago Capcom made many different types of games from shooters to platformers and racing games. These days they seem to make only fighting or action survival games. Let's take a look at an experimental title from them that combines driving with shooting. This is Last Duel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Today we're going to take a look at something a little different. This Mega Drive console is in the shape of a western arcade complete with 6 individual working buttons and digital joystick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 This item has been stuck in a box for over 8 months. It was originally bought from Aliexpress for 8 US Dollars, shipped. I've tried looking for the item again but it seems to be no longer listed on the site. Sorry, but no link for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Known as Mutant Fighter, this very obscure fighting game from Data east (Must be obscure since I only knew it as Death Brade) actually got a few ports with one being almost arcade perfect. Let's take a look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Yeah!!! It's not a Famicom on a chip system. What we have here is a Mega Drive clone from our friends at Pow Kiddy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Dragon Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Road Runner was a C64 game you really only wanted to have on disk :@. The cassette version is literally crippled by an appalling multiloader :'( Think i endured loading times of 3-4 minutes between levels and only spent a minute playing through the actual level, a horrible experience. Picked it up on the ST after seeing C+VG review it twice within 2 months and award it a hit and then game of the month. The 2600 version looks great for the hardware. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yakumo1975 Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Can you believe that Victor Japan (JVC) have put a claim on this video for the Famicom Classic's version of the Mappy music? Seems Victor Japan is Namco's money grabber since they've also claimed various other Namco game videos I've put up. So sad (-_-) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yakumo1975 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 A while back I covered the original Family Pocket handheld which was pretty good. Now we have the follow up. Can it continue with the quality found in the original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 So, there aren't many boxing games in the arcade and what ones there are are not that great. But just how bad is Taito's Final Blow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Usotsuki Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Amiga europort of a Japanese game better than original? Rare indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Amiga europort of a Japanese game better than original? Rare indeed. Very rare although I did forget to add the FM Towns version which is almost identical to the Arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yakumo1975 Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 It's an oldie today as we take a look at Venture. This video does not contain any home-brew remake such as those found on the Atari 8bit home computers, Atrai 5200 or Windows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
