Let's Play Metal Slug 3 and Update Everyone on the Big Retro Show
4:02 the orchestral original soundtrack is superb. It's suspenseful and tense but increases on volume and dynamics when in combat. Amazing! Conflict Vietnam is a hidden gem.
For sure. I wish they’d make more games set in Vietnam with todays graphics
Dope list man I’ve never heard some of these. Gotta grab them while we can!
Right on thanks for the comment
tell me about it I cant get past level 1 on Contra yet, if you like a good run n gun checkout Iron Meat Contra meets Doom infusion happy gaming.
I have that game it’s awesome
@BigRetroShow yeah I haven't played it yet, but definitely my style for 2d run and guns do you think it's worth the $20 price tag for approximately an hour of gameplay that's my only minor complaint. I like my games to atleast last a few hours at that price range.
The Simpsons arcade game is one I'd like to see on switch.
I agree. Critics can get so into critic mode that they might forget what fun feels like. I've liked quite a lot of games that got at least somewhat panned by critics. People should give games a try themselves to see if they even agree with reviews. Terminator and Dino Stalker are the ones that looked most fun to me.
They were fun. I never take the critic word for it . I always have to play on my own
To be honest the hate the terminator 3 game is mostly justified it doesn't help that the movie was not very good & this game is made by the people that made fugitive hunter the worst first person shooter on ps2
Fair points
Beat down is basically capcom version of river city ransom which is not a bad thing definitely a better game than final fight streetwise
Personally your better off just playing Shaolin monks mythologies is only enjoy with cheat codes on to be honest
Fair point. God that Shaolin Monk game is epic
Awwww, you just limited yourself to PS2/XBox? Was hoping you'd bring up Rising Storm 2: Vietnam. It's multiplayer centered, granted, but holy sheep does it get the Vietnam feel down right. Namely, the tense quiet with only some squad chatter then things going crazy in a heartbeat with death coming from virtually anywhere, usually unseen.
Might make a part 2 and I’ll check it out
@@BigRetroShow Do so, you won't regret it. Just be warned, the game's been around a while and the long time players are absolute demons in the jungle with their tactical movement. Also, if you play the Vietcong/NVA, you will fear the sound of helicopters or F4's overhead.
I agree with spy hunter
I’m glad I gave it a chance
*Takes Notes to throw Stuff onto the PS2*
I play my PS2 often, over 4200 games were released for the system
Concrete Jungle!! 🌴
It’s awesome
I had conflict Vietnam once upon a time when I had a PS2 it was badass not to mention I had all the other conflict games
Great games
I remember the first time I heard of Serpentor was the comic book commercial as well. Not long after that my mom got me the figure along with the issue of the comic book at Child World (anyone remember that store???) and while I've always been a Cobra Commander fan and he will be my favorite I thought Serpentor was pretty cool, until the version of him that appeared in the animated series, then I had more than enough. I too was thrilled when they got rid of him in the comic and was even more ecstatic when he was turned into an iguana by Cobra Commander. Great video, sorry I'm late to the party, just saw this in my feed for the first time.
Right on the thanks for sharing: I had the comic when Dr mind ended and destro did some tomb Raiding of the leaders for their dna
Have you played Apocalypse? It plays kinda like One, but it stars Bruce Willis breaking out of space prison then has to go stop the four horsemen from ending the world. It's pretty wild!
I have its a great game. His one liners haha
3:27 great memory to have. I used to go to the local Kmart as a kid and play the arcade there.
I miss those days ha
Glad I found your channel, great video man. I totally agree about the T3 game. My dad and I rented it one weekend shortly after getting our PS2 and man were we disappointed lol.
I remember those rental blues fondly haha. Thanks for the comment
Eu meio que "platinei" Predator Concrete Jungle. Peguei todas as Skins, Armas. Tudo. Foi o jogo que eu mais explorei no Playstation 2. E isso antes de existir "platina" em algum jogo.
Awesome! There’s a lot of cool skins and such on the game
New Subscriber Here! I think classic games are making a big comeback and It's finally time for the greedy corporations to get what's coming to them.
They are so many classic games out there is a great time to be a gamer ! Thanks for the sub
5:18 That frame right there makes the game, you can't make this shit up. I was originally like is that The Rock in SpyHunter? when I saw the cover art, sure enough it was... except he looks like Nico Bellic from behind. That face reveal was like the chef's kiss, wow. I gotta say I recognized some of his wrestling moves even 25 years later so they at least nailed that. Dino Stalker, yeah I totally forgot that existed. I wouldn't mind tracking down a copy of that one though. I was a big light gun fan back in the day, I still have Vampire Night and Resident Evil Dead Aim but I'd gladly welcome this or the Time Crisis games to the collection even if it does suck. You should invest in a GunCon2 if you're serious, it is a phenomenal light gun and probably the best I can think of to be honest. My copy of Vampire Night was a big box with the GC2 included, and I know I got a second one at some point maybe loose. I'm not quite sure what you're trying to do with that title though, you seem to be reinforcing the critic's opinions with your own takes on these mostly shitty games.
I will mosdef be looking out for a GunCon 2. I think they were wrong about Predator, Dino Stalker and Spy Hunter for sure. They weren't wrong about Mercenaries, and Terminator 3, despite it's issues, and overall bad quality, it's still fun for me anyway. ha thanks for watching
@@BigRetroShow You won't regret getting a GunCon2 if you love light gun games, I can guarantee that. Hey I've been known to like some pretty sub par games myself, no worries.
Ha right on
The media are all corrupt. They worship nintendo and trash everything else. Never payed attention to their reviews.
Nintendo walks on water with them for sure
I liked Superman Returns
I'll have to check that one out!
Dino stalker is a lot of fun with the gun. Predator concrete jungle is an awesome game! I played it a lot back in the day.
Totally need to get a GunCon 2
@BigRetroShow Yeah, luckily, I still have my old TV. Otherwise, I don't think it will work great on newer ones.
I have one in my garage
if you make a part 2 Add Judge Dredd on the ps2. Amazing game with sub par reviews
Thanks for the suggestion. Never played it but will be on the hunt for it now
Tried Galaga. Logitech controller would not work in Chrome. Keyboard did nothing either.
Sorry to hear, maybe try a different browser?
@@BigRetroShow Tried Fire Fox with no luck as well. Controller functions fine with old Mame games I DLd from years ago. Stick with that I guess.
Dina Stalker is great with Guncon2 🤘🏻
I figure as much
Reviewers are useless
The reason you never saw the spy hunter movie is because it doesn’t exist. It was canceled prior to production. This game is all that remains of that planned film.
Makes sense
Stick to Mercenaries (1). The enemy AI in part 2 is bad and way too easy.
Mercs 1 was head and shoulders better
cant hear shit
Yeah, I'm convinced the worst PS1 game is certainly X6.
That one missed me. I'll have to try it
@BigRetroShow Well, be warned, there's a nonstop mini boss gauntlet for one stage, one has three giant crusher segments, one has an extremely annoying zooplankton boss, and the final stages are the worst in the MegaMan X series.
I'm sorry, did you say Allied Assault? Last I checked, it never left the PC. I think you're thinking of European Assault.
I meant frontline I always get those mixed up
@BigRetroShow Probably because you play as Jimmy Patterson in Frontline, just like the original PS1 game, while you play as Mike Powell in Allied Assault.
Medal of Honor Allied Assault never released on the PS2. You must be thinking of Frontline or European Assault.
Yes I always mix up the name. It was frontline
Nah mercenaries 2 on ps2 is horrible port, well original developer's didn't even make that lazy port xD i love that big lake with all that fog, straight from silent hill
It’s a terrible port and only fun to laugh at lol
The only game on this list i has back in the day was predator concret jungle lol i got it a blockbuster when they had their going out of business sale the cashier didn't give a f they wanted i think 20 for predator concret jungle he sold it to me for $5 and a blunt of dank marijuana lol good times
haha right on!
Meh, subjective 🤷
totally in the eye of the beholder for sure
i always wanted graphics to be better but now i just love these old school games idc how they look
Developers today go over the top now to make their games look retro. ha. We had it all a long with the old consoles
What are you using? Mame?
thats why user reviews were made
For sure . I never just take the reviewers word for it . I have to see for myself
Be safe bud.. That fire in LA is getting CRAZY 🙏🏻
Thanks B. I’m watch far up north so I’ll be ok
Games like these prove that the games media has been wrong for a long time!
I co-sign on this !
Fun fact the spy hunter film was never actually made and the last update was i. 2016 i think and at one point john woo eas set to direct which could have been freaking awesome!
Makes sense
@BigRetroShow it could so easily make a dope movie but imo I feel like executive's wouldn't like the name spy hunter for the flick. It's too simple and I feel like if it's not like LITERALLY about a hunter of spies lol they wouldn't bite or think it would sell. Not to mention the years since it had ANY LEVEL of relevance. Like who would the movie be for? The younger crowd would care at all and the ones with nostalgia wouldn't care enough for it to be profitable
A lot of these games are just...ok. And that's fine. :)
Word. I had fun with them
How does it compare to Nine Sols in Difficulty?
I played the hell out of it and really enjoyed it especially the multiplayer. BUT the game fully deserved the negative reviews because of the blatant bait and switch gearbox software did with the pre release footage and the final game.
I went to this! Good stuff man. And you're right, it's definitely pricey to collect retro games now. 😊
Yeah and it’s too bad that it’s like this. I did enjoy it tho. I found some good deals
Great start with BG&E; that's one I always hope more check out. I've been curious about the Darkness games. I often hear people not liking the NES Max controller, but I don't know, I always thought it was pretty nifty and comfy with those grips. Nice Atari pickups, very cool man! Heh, well said; retro gaming prices being so nuts DOES feel like a rich man's hobby anymore.
I totally get it about the nes max haha it grew on me back in the day . I couldn’t help to feel bamboozled tho haha. It is totally a rich man’s hobby now . Oh well. I better get a second and third job if I want to keep up !
i do got a 3do & a Panasonic FZ-1 packed away.
I really enjoyed the 3do might have to look into getting one
money, save me sum
For reals
