This is probably the best retrospective video I’ve seen on Metal Slug so far. Something that wasn’t mentioned about 6 is that it has an alternate ending where Rootmars saves you instead of Morden, depending on the path you take in mission 4. Hope they get around to porting it to something other than the ps4 eventually.

In Pakistan this game was huge

DOOM and Metal Slug are two of my favorite game franchises. Love your stuff, man!

".... one of the three highest grossing games of...April...." Lolz! Good shit, dude!

Great work man 🤘

Love that twice in the Doom series' development there was pushback against a metal soundtrack, only for the metal soundtrack to be wildly praised both times.

The additional monitors playing a broadcast of the race from multiple angles with a commentator is a reminder to the importance of unique hardware. Software emulators (good as they are) can't always replicate the experience of original hardware. Stuff like light guns, motion controls, touchpads, ect..., aren't easily emulated.

I know this may not be a popular opinion but as an avid Ps1 doom player, I cant stand to hear that stupid 'metal' music on Doom. The PS1 version had an incredible soundtrack of atmospheric music and creepy sound effects that made the game so creepy and immersive, and scary. The pc version soundtrack just sounds so silly and ruins the atmosphere and feel of the game. That composer was right that it wouldn't work.

This is a must play for the Hispanic culture.

Great 2 part video, hold in there I know starting small sucks but you are killing it

How they managed to create such a masterpiece in such a short time is insane, especially for the time. With some of the most impressive sprites to date. These guys were on another level.

Tom Hal should've stayed Carmack was ignorant and didn't want a story even if it was beneficial

I’m glad Virtua Racing was not dead! I was worried since Virtua Racing got silent for awhile

from what ive heard of eric's levels, they werent that good to begin with lol

classic doom imo peaked with knee deep in the dead (excluding 64 which is the best classic game). it's design is so iconic and replayable. everything after just hasnt aged particularly well and sometimes just goes into cruel and unusual punishment territory. its engine, gameplay loop, combat, and mechanics is what carries it still to this day as ngl, alot of the custom wads that have been made in recent years have better and more enjoyable design than most of doom 1, 2 and final. but 2016 and eternal are peak tho

The algorithm seriously needs to catch on to this video. I am not even a Doom fan and this is awesome!

Definitely a criminally underrated and overlooked game series!…. I especially miss Metal Slug Attack! I enjoyed playing that on my phone!

This is really really well made Honestly surprised it hasnt blown up already

I wish Xbox had the anthology. It’s the only game I remember playing on psp. It wa super fun 🥹 I wonder if they’ll ever release an anthology with all of them on it.

As a kid i used to HATE playing softball but the only reason i shut up and did it because we would go to a hole in the wall pizza joint after every game that had the Metal Slug 3 cabinet i was god awful at soft ball but kicked ass at Metal Slug and all my teammates would gather round and donate coins to try to beat the game each week. Probablh one of my fondest memories with gaming tbh

very interesting but where's final doom tnt evilution and plutonia expierment

Dang man, this is a fantastic video essay. If I wasn't looking at the numbers, I'd swear you were a big-name UA-cam channel with a following because this is so very polished and well-made. You deserve way more views and subscribers than you've got. I'm going to tell everyone I know about you (don't get too excited, I'm a shut-in with just a few friends) to try to get some more eyes on you. Great work on the video, I can't wait to watch part 2 which I'm jumping into as soon as I finish this comment.

Wow, amazing piece. You're a hidden gem. Keep it up.

Faz um vídeo falando sobre o "Black finger jet"!

metal slug x and 3 are my favs

It doesn’t matter what metal slug game it is, Even 4, If it’s metal slug, it’s fun. (Except for defense and attack good lord those were soul-crushingly boring.)

Nice video, bro. Looking forward to the next retrospective.

Thanks for a great retrospective! I've always loved the Metal Slug series. It was like Contra but so much better. I had no idea Metal Slug 6 had such a narrow release as far as home ports went. It's a shame they haven't put it out as an ACA Arcade Archives title.

You are really uninteresting. Your metal slug video was carried by the frenchie. I will click uninterested and give my adios.

What is that song from 25:40?

I really wish the latest port wasn't trapped on Switch - it's an awesome way to play, except for that annoying little thing where the Switch has no analogue triggers, forcing you to either feather the shoulder buttons or use the right stick...

You got a new sub. Amazing channel, dude. I´ve seen several Doom docs and here theres ton of stuff that I didnt know!

The book also mentioned that MS X was a much more ambitious project rather than simple remix of MS2. MSX was supposed to have branching path feature that was introduced in MS3. A lot of the levels from MS3 actually already exist in MSX's unused data files and they all thematically tie into MS1&MS2's stages. *For ex:* The winery from MS3 was meant to connect to MS1's 4th level bar and all the desert&mummy areas from MS3 were part of alternate or branching paths for MS2. You can even load these levels in an emulator using debug menu.

Time Warner's V.R. Virtua Racing is pretty damn impressive when we remember they had to share their dev kit with another team and didn't have access to the original source code. All they had was an arcade cabinet they would play over and over to match what they were making with what they were playing.

This game was my first 3d experience, and got me into F1 and motorsports in general. I dig the presentation style of this video

The only reason i would have bought a NeoGeo AES back in the 90s ❤

how many titles survive the way metal slug did? this title is genuinely loved by its fans, its 2D art sprite is true hardwork of art

My first experience of Virtua Racing was when i bought the game (genesis version) use for ~30$ CAD in 1997.

The switch version looks too good. LOL. I wish there was a toggle to switch to the arcade graphics. Then we'd finally get the arcade perfect port.

I was just out of high school and a big Sega fan at the time when Virtua Racing came out. I really liked the arcade version and played the hell out of the 32X version. I was pretty much nodding my head in agreeance with everything in your video. You're history is accurate to how I remember it. You did your homework. Nicely done!

I had no idea that Namco did 3D racing before Sega

The game of my youth! From the time the genesis version was released to the present (!) I'm a prisoner of this game. My favorite game.Thank you for the wonderful video!

Everyone was talking about Virtua Racing when it came out in arcades in 1992. The SVP also came with 128KB of RAM and would've been capable 20,000 flat shaded polygons per second or 3,000 textured and shaede, almost as many as some PlayStation launch titles. If SEGA had included Virtua Racing not as a pack in title but a game built into the genesis (System C2) for Christmas of 1993, they would've sold consoles like hotcakes, and SoJ wouldn't have forced them to make the 32X. And theyd have a two year head start on PlayStation. The $199 console would have 196KB of RAM, 128KB of VRAM, and be able to draw 6144 colors out of a palette of 98,304.

Just wanna say I clicked because your thumbnail was _really_ good.

VR Deluxe would be perfect if wasn’t too hard with the Formula. Totally unbalanced… Also the Switch version is broken in the second track… it’s virtually impossible to win…

On the Switch version: You can adjust the color by clicking the plus button during the intro.
