Played by: Eino
Tool-free gameplay on default settings (medium difficulty). Score 921 380.
Clumsy playthrough, lot's of room to improve for a decent score run. Atm though I'm content to be able to finish the game on 1 credit.
When I got to try this the first time at a local gas station in the early 90s it blew me completely away. Hadn't seen anything remotely like it before. Shooting up limps from aliens and pumping grenades to their stomachs, just unreal at the time. Made me sad that I didn't have lots of money to spend and they soon replaced it with a more generic game I don't remember anymore. Space Gun is still my favorite "Gun" game. -

This was like playing "Aliens the movie" back then with the guns installed on the arcade machine. Much fun.
Hands down the best looking arcade game ever made inside and outside. Loved to play it, ate too much money though.
That's the hallmark of a good arcade machine, when it makes alot of money!!
finally!!
been searching for this jewel for a looooong time.
Couldn't remember the name of this game.
Been playing for a long time at (portable) arcade hall when it was in town.
Damn, back in the days it was a very scary sound for me ;-)
Stefan Rooker It didn't creep me out that much, except for that one jumpscare somewhere in the second stage.
Try alien 3, you will get scared even more
Same here. I remember playing this game back in the 90s but forgot the name of it.
@@Blueflag04 Or Dead space
This game had "strategic dismember" much before Dead space was a thing. I remember shooting at their legs for "insta-kills" and at the arm they were rising to avoid the hit. That's why I never went pass the third or fourth stage, when the mobs didn't have legs or arms, lol.
For me this was the best aliens game ever! since i saw the movie. Great times!!
Alien 3 Arcade game eventually came out, it's like this
I had a lot of nightmares from playing this game...but hell, I will play this all over again!
Me too!!
I spent several hours on paydays (my mom's payday) playing this at an arcade near my mom's job.
Later on she joined the arcade and played aracing game called Out Run
Never let your Space Gun overheat!
Great old-school game.
My God the tension I felt when me and my buddy played this in the arcade on soccer camp. Those memories are sweet.
Great memories! Although my friend and I never managed to beat that last boss (because the cockpit kept exploding)
Me and my brother used to play it on the PS2 from TAITO legends and you don't know how much we raged at the final boss
@@nacovic7821 We were playing in the arcade, putting in real money for every credit...😢
To this day, I still feel it's such a cheap final level! Trying to aim at the final boss whilst avoiding the cockpit is about as much fun as pulling teeth!
I'll never forget that screen of the alien holding your character after losing the game.
Same... I'm still afraid of that screen....
Yep it was a creepy Game Over screen.
Or even them holding the hostages. I always end up killing them
For me it's very haunting because there's just something so disturbing about how those aliens look, I'm not sure if it's the eyes or the fact that they have four arms... there truly is something so fucking demonic about that game over screen, all around, the entire game itself is fucking terrifying for its time. Gotta give these developers credit
Wow, I played this game a few times in the arcade and loved it. The special weapons via the pump action of the gun was great. Thanks for the long play!
The end credits song is indescribably beatiful.
Ya
There should've been a sequel to this game, especially with an ending like that.
Very few games have been able to capture the Aliens vibe as well as this
Shame. A gem that never got the publicity and respect that it deserves. Such captivating art, sound, design and animation. Let alone the title, SPACE GUN
The second biggest pocket drain from my summer holidays! Thanks for posting this.
I've been searching and looking for this game for a long time and finally found it!! I remember playing this game back in the 90s but forgot the name of it. I remember was you shoot out these blue oval shaped bullets and I remember, the arcade game itself had these two weird looking guns mounted on it and bam!! its Space Gun. At first I thought it was Alien 3 the Gun but not a chance lol. Revolution X, Terminator 2 Judgement Day, Lethal Enforcers 1 and 2, Time Crisis I and II, Space Gun, Alien 3 The Gun, Crime Patrol, Area 51, Maximum Force, Mad Dog McGree, Steel Gunner, so many great legendary gun arcade games from the 90s. I'm going to hook up the MAME later and play this classic.
I don't remember how much money I put into this game back in the day.
Janne Aalto Me either, but it was a hell of a lot!
It was a really difficult game. 😲
Where could i download this game ?
@@bayergergo7735 It's on MAME (Multiple Arvade Machine Emulator). Look for MAMEUI for a slightly easier setup.
It's irrelevant, because it's money well spent!!
There's a secret ending/gameover if you kill every hostage in one stage. the text goes "The plan of operation has failed, sacrificing the lives of many people..." and the game just ends
One of my all-time favorite arcade shooters. Even better with a friend.
Oh god this game in the 90’s was amazing!
Very nice walkthrough. Thanks for sharing both endings!
Me and my brother used to put all our money in this game. I remember there always being a line for it. Never could keep the cockpit from exploding
That alternate ending was awesome!
Thanks for sharing!
"The space shuttle was desTOroyed!"
LOL
LordNothing Alternate ending?
Well, I don't know if you played this arcade back in the days, but the thing is that the Final Boss at 19:58 is really really difficult! and the main reason is because you don't have to shoot that much to the control desk at the background, so you have to be very precise. The alternate ending that I am mentioning is on 24:35, where you can see that the player conciously shot at the control desk of the shuttle and then explodes.
Actually, back in the days, I never saw the true ending, because it was bery difficult to reach that level, and even more difficult do not shoot at the back.
LordNothing By the way...
19:19 What is that?
a monster of outer space?
LordNothing I mean, what's it actually called, specifically?
Who else would want a VR remake of Space Gun!?
One of my absolute, if not The favorite arcade game of mine in the 90’s! A water park I used to frequent had it, and I pumped a lot of my $$ into it every single visit there. It was very much inspired by the Aliens movie, and that being another fav of mine, it was the perfect transition to a game for me. I would Highly consider purchasing it if I found a real working arcade version with the gun if I could find it somewhere.
I was just thinking about it and couldn’t remember the name, so did a deep google search to find it. Thanks for posting this!!
I'm glad that discovered this. I was playing that on PS2, it was in game "Taito Legends ". One of the biggest nostalgy feeling.
I still remember the day this was brought into the local arcade back in the early 90s... kids were crowded around the machine and lining up quarters to play next, I just watched for the first day or two, the atmosphere was creepy as hell back then. Great shooting game!
What was creepy about the atmosphere? Writing a paper on this so would love to know.
@@fromdabunka one thing was the sounds, it really captured the feeling of wandering into an abandoned space station overrun with monsters. You could hear the alien's footsteps and seeing them come out of the darkness was pretty scary the first time you saw it in the arcade. It was also pretty advanced from a graphics perspective, at that time there was not many other dark sci fi shooters, the rest were all based on military themes. So the details on the aliens and when their body parts explode it gave it a kind of realistic feeling.
@@dezm101 The sounds must've been loud to have not been drowned out by the surrounding games right? That's super interesting since most survival horror games really rely on silence to induce fear!
Oh man! I remember playing this game in an arcade a long time ago, I was still a boy back then! So glad I've found it here!
Thank you for bringing us this fantastic gameplay e for this nostalgic feeling, it made my day!
i remember that when i play in Taito Legends on PS2 when i was 13 year old that was a childhood
33 and still playing it on Xbox360)
nice melancolico recuerdo mis dias y horas en las salas de juegos retro arcade..saludos desde mexico fortin veracruz....😃😃😃😃😃
that bring back memories, i could never get past the second level :p
One of my earliest childhood games🎮🕹
6:23
"Git your coat, we're goin' ta Applebees, yo- HEY WHAT THE FUCK, MAN?!"
Can you do a video on "Operation Wolf?"
this was my favourite game
I played this one in the arcade mall back in the day. :)
What a legendary game!
Your playstyle was really good, and kept me entertained through👌.
Legendary moment from my teenage years: using both guns at the same time ... double the money but double the fun
I remember seeing this machine at the my old local arcade. The machine was placed right next to Alien 3 The Gun. Back then, i was scared of those two games that i dare not to go near them. I only saw someone else playing it, it was pretty unique since the player steps on the pedal to backtrack momentarily to avoid enemy attack. It took me until many years to play it for the first time. I was glad to do so because my young self would not sit well with the gore
...and you even went back and blew up the escape ship's cockpit just to show us the Bad Ending! Kudos to you! 😆
And if there's anyone who ever managed to beat 'Space Gun' *_without_* reducing the entire cockpit to a nearly destroyed wreck being held together by spit and bubble gum, I'd like to shake his hand! I know I did it more than once.
This has to be one of my favorite games
Great game, thanks for the game play, perfect blend of action and pseudo horror, with stretches of nothing, then boom was there ever a follow up (sequel) to this game it was left open, as if there were to be one...
I miss this game from my childhood. Always gave me an Aliens vibe.. as if it was a very Aliens inspired game.. even the transport in the background kinda reminded me of the one in Aliens.
Before Terminator 2 The Arcade Game and Alien 3: The Gun, Their was Space GUN!!
Muy buen juego lastima que ya no esta saludos 😄
This was my favourite arcade game as a kid.... 20p a go 👍
I thought I loved XYBOTS but it was actually Space Gun I loved!!!!
I had this on PS2 as a kid as part of the "Taito Legends" game. I remember my mom walking in and being freaked out by the violence and how nonchalantly I was playing. good times
Me too man.. I was maybe 8-9 years old . I was sitting on the floor and secretly playing this at nights.
Not bad for a _Aliens_ ripoff that was also released the same year that Konami made an video game adaptation of _Aliens_ . One thing I hated about this game is that the targeting seems to be off when trying to take out the big, hulking extraterrestrials. You can shoot several shots at them that won't connect, and yet they can almost always get an attack off on you. Coincidentally, three years later, Sega would make an arcade adaptation of _Alien 3_ called _Alien 3: The Gun_ , which was rails light-gun shooter that was basically a rip-off of _Space Gun_ .
That's so you feed the machine more quarters... ;)
I got hit so many times even when i was firing at them. Guess the pedal helped you to survive
@@Hmongboi228: Yeah, but that shit's unfair.
@@Blueflag04: I've only played this on emulator, so I didn't know or must have forgotten _Space Gun_ had a petal on it.
It’s a shame no one ever talks about this game or even mentioned it’s such a great game
I realy love this arcade game if i had the money i buy this arcade machine at my home
Me encantaba, un buen reto y jugarlo en su cabina era muy agradable, me encantaba poder retroceder con pisar el pedal.
Rescuating all the peoples from the splat-gut ALIEEEEEEEEEEEEEENS
SPLAT-GUT ALIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENS
And the Space Gun comes in the NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT
Hi Score Girl brought me back, I add already added it to my list of MAME games but forgot about it.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS GAME!!!!
If I’m not mistaken, if you didn’t save enough people, didn’t the game end right at the 3rd stage?
Mario’s Pizza in my town had this and I spent hundreds of dollars on this game over the years. That’s not an exaggeration, either.
9:03 Baragon’s roar
9:49 Telesdon’s roar
21:07 Baragon again
You missed one
7:41 another Telesdon roar
I always love this game.
HEY! The human hostages make the same sound as Baby Mario.
I thought the same
They clearly cry HELP, not babble though.
I've played this game before at an arcade in Portland, Oregon. It was all in Japanese so I didn't know what kind of ending I got. I think I destroyed the escape ship's cockpit and I imagined the ending said, "Nice going moron! Looks like you're stuck here!
Those aliens in this game are perfect.
i have no idea just how much money i have poured into this game at the arcade!!
10:18 choose front way...that´s the real hell!!!
So thats why it was called F
This game reminds of "aliens :the gun" arcade game.
nobody's gonna say it? I'm gonna have to do it?
Very well...to quote the USMC
*LET'S ROCK!!!*
Remember seeing someone in the arcade complete this game set on a higher difficulty tha shown here (more aliens spawn) on one token, dunno how he did it. I never survived past the 4th stage myself on that machine on one token.
Learnt a few tricks from that player, like saving the flame and ice weapons for the final battle, since they won't damage the cockpit.
It's basically Alien but without any licences
Definitely reminds me of Alien. I guess nobody noticed that.
Everyone noticed it was based on Aliens
I just finished this game on something and it was fun
is there a sequel?
how do you do a reverse of yr tracks? i tot it only goes forward??!?!?!
This game was and IS the best arcade!
Sop you actually played this game? Or just copy it again?
Aliens? not while i got my goddamn SPACE GUN.
Este juego recuerdo el gabinete traía un arma como una machine gun con botones para cambiar el AMMO era fantástico ❤️❤️
Shoot The Core and BOOM!!!
what emulator are ya playing this on?
The Darius Prequel
Cringey name, but damn did it nail the "Aliens" vibe perfectly.
Derivative to the Aliens Xenomorph.
cool !
setup on pc is pain. setup controls are pain in the ass to setup... jeezz. controls are working now... my god i am forgot how good it is even today
@nemo pouncey playing on MAME with mouse and controler.
How did you play it?
On mame, I have never managed to finish without blowing up the ship LOL
i had trouble not murdering the survivors.
Especially when they are held by the creatures
I think 14:09 was the point the game would give you the bad ending if you failed to save any hostages or kept killing too many by accident.
Really? Where did you hear that?
@@Blueflag04 I experienced it when I was playing 2P with my friend. The screen immediately switched to a bunch of dead escapees saying that the operation was aborted due to the casualty count being high.
i played this when i was a kid
Just out of curiosity Is there a sequel to this game?
@UCUWQEHO7AMer4rnqRSHL92g oh okay thank you for telling me because this game looks so well made. I might have said this before. I remember playing this game many moons ago and I didn’t get very far. lol
There isn't any. Given the fact everyone got captured as hostages, there's no away the earth could survive
@@Blueflag04 alrighty then thank you so much for tell me. The ending kind of made me wonder
Buen juego de mi infancia
These games where located on ferrys
I notice that this game familiar Alien:The Gun
Loads of money back then
Una mejor forma de no dañar la nave es disparar a los pies solo así evitas dañar la nave
Totally copied Aliens. XD
J
¿Este juego es de terro?
