Wow, I can see just how much lack of editing skills I've demonstrated back into the day. Also ignore the weird commentary, I dont know what I was talking about. Also, the glitches at the start of the video are part of the footage. My camera struggled a bit as it was an old run down phone.
Arcade Achieves just released an old arcade shooter called "Cosmo Gang the Video" When I saw the cute little aliens you fight, I felt like I had seen them before. Turns out it's a spin off of the more elaborate mechanical shooter you see here called "Cosmo Gang". I used to see these things all the time at Chuck e Cheese and Arcades when I was little. And it's made by Namco. ... You know, Namco Museum would be a lot more interesting if that put more obscure stuff like this on those collections and not just Pac-man and Galaga for the millionth time and MAYBE Rolling Thunder if you're lucky.
To be honest, this thing is kinda too young to put in an arcade muesum, but ok haha. Cosmo Gangs does has some intresting history, and I'm sure they have been in some arcades (I'm wondering if you ever played the mechanical version).
@@game-azing Cosmo Gang was released in 1991. That's 30 years. In video game years, that is rather old. But I think you misunderstand. Arcade Achieves is a series of re-releases from HAMSTER of classic arcade games on digital storefronts such as PS4, XboxONE and Nintendo Switch. Each download costs around $8 and they've already putout games such as Pac-man, Metal Slug and Double Dragon. Cosmo Gang the Video is a Galaga clone with the Cosmo Gang characters slapped on it and it's pretty fun.
This must’ve been a later version of it the original version (In the US) was Data East the Japanese version was Namco Edit: Oops realized your from New Zealand btw the original release for this game was 1990
Do you have any more information about this particular machine and when it may have been manufactured? Does it have a copyright year? I’m intrigued to learn why the dialogue from the Jammers and Bakuto are different here compared the 1990 release. It’s interesting that the manufacturers chose to go back on Data East’s localisation and make it more accurate to the Japanese original (The line “It’s Showtime! Make-Make Dance!” being completely unchanged on this variant as the most glaring example)
@@funny_lauren_epic_time it's definitely manufacturered by Bandai Namco from 2018, it is barley stated on the marquee, although it's hard to see as a chunk of the acrylic made UFO prop is blocking the way. I think Data East and Namco did team up for a bit to make their own English and Japanese versions back in 1990. I'm not too sure what you are talking about as of "Jammers and Bakuto".
The cameo is terrifying, lol. I mean, the epileptic flashing of the lazer guns and the shaking of the screen make it appear sort of violent looking rather than a family-friendly game, haha
@@game-azing wow that’s amazing I’m from SoCal I didn’t even know modern arcades still use this game! I’m a 90s kid and I can’t even think of a time seeing one growing up. I gotta find one around here..

I didn't know they re-released Cosmo Gang again in Austrailia. I wonder if it will release in America as well, love this series.

@@game-azing Oh, I'm sorry. I assumed it was in Australia since all the listings come from Australian sites. Thanks for recorrecting me.
According to JAEPO2018, the reissue was made in china
Its also in Australia as well!

No problem! Glad you liked the video!
0:11 is that the bonanza theme??
@skunkman9815 I'm not too sure what that is. Forgive me.

I remember playing this at Vallco in Cupertino DECADES ago. Glad to see it’s still out in the wild.
Yeah, now days, they are really rare.

I love your gameplay
This game made a cameo on Point Blank 2 for PS1 as the final boss of Quest
And featured in point blank DS
The cameo is terrifying, lol. I mean, the epileptic flashing of the lazer guns and the shaking of the screen make it appear sort of violent looking rather than a family-friendly game, haha
