GET OFF UA-cam YOU PIECE OF SUB-HUMAN TRASH THAT DOESN'T MARK A VIDEO AND INTERRUPTS HIS CONTENT TO SPEW GARBAGE. A GOOD FOR NOTHING PIECE OF HUMAN GARBAGE!!
@@Traumatree If you listen to the ad copy, it never mentions smoking, cigarettes, or vaping. its "a Bad Habit". UA-cam isn't going to do anything about it, its purposely obfuscated.
How does FUM (is it) help to stop you smoking? Isn’t it the nicotine people get addicted to not the fact they need to have something in the hand ? The only way to quit is to reduce your nicotine intake slowly over weeks so how do these help do that?
Mogura Desse is interesting because it not only passed the legal requirements, but it tested every part of the system via play. By buying it back, they didn't just buy back their loophole, they bought back testing equipment. And also, if I recall, Battalion 1993 hasn't been dumped. For some reason, I think because the ROM was inside an early SOC of the time, nobody's been able to extract the game.
In my case either riding to the arcade on my mk1 Raleigh Burner BMX (later a mk2, gosh!) or my brother's olr super cool mk2 Raleigh Chopper, 5 and 10 pence pieces jingling away!
Indeed! In my case, it was an orange Schwinn ten speed. Also remember on the half-days of school, seeing pretty much everyone walking along the railroad tracks to get to the mall where the arcade was instead of taking the buses to get back home.
Being born in the mid 70s I to remember the buzz around arcades, I just wish I was able to go back in time to when space invaders came out just so I can feel what it was like to have this new technology come out.
Pro here... couple problems: JAMMA standard isn't considered 4-button, it calls for 3 action buttons and a start. Golden Axe was system-16 pinout, not JAMMA so bad example of an easily converted game. Die Hard arcade WAS JAMMA and Frogger wasn't unless you include bootlegs.
Man, good memories. I miss the era of arcades. I know they were often unfairly difficult, but god, the graphics and the sound were mind blowing at the time. And the music! So much creativity on display.
I don’t know if they often were unfairly difficult, I think it’s more the learning curve was very steep. I quite like that though, console games of the era can sometimes have overly long levels that are a little too easy (and get quite boring) early on. With arcade games that whole experience is condensed and often more fun because of it
@@bdp2868 referring to competitive games. The person who loses goes to the back of the line. Idiot. Can't believe that needed to be spelled out for you. Sure, if you keep winning you stay on the machine. Losers walk.
That original space invaders was addictive as hell. Cost 10p in 1980 london arcade on westbourne grove. Counting the shots to get 300 for overhead spaceship. Getting killed on 9990 so you got highest score - miss it by one kill and it goes back to 0000
I very much misunderstood where you were going with the title but what a pleasant surprise this video was! Definitely a hidden arcade world many of us never saw!
Maaaaaan, I was always attracted to the games with the weird control surfaces. Tempest, Gauntlet, Xenophobe, anything with a gun or motorcycle attached to it. And trackballs. Trackballs are genius. 'Member when a game in the arcade used to hold it's own space? The pinballs and standard cabs would hug the walls but the fancy games were spread out in their own curvy islands. And Ski-Ball and Airhocky had their own end of the room? And everything was dark and blacklight and sneaky! ...crap, I think I miss arcades. on a therapy level... (...iceball can suck a bgOdcks...)
Japan was at the forefront of technological advances for decades. But in the 2000's they lost that lead and have plateaued. But that many-decade lead has led to the widely believed stereotype that Japan is and always will be ahead of everyone in technology. Japan itself is the most tech-friendly country, but their advances have long flatlined.
Junkies smokers and all thar other smoking weenies No bad habits Never smoked, never been drunk, never used vap. Zero bad habits. No fast food since 1985 Just spent 44 years in martial arts learned 10 styles. Still shredded since 1983 . What i don't get is a girl who won't duckies but smokes or caps or both
The corner shop, not far from where I grow up, would rotate games all the time. One month, it would have Super Mario. The next month, Final Fight. Then Cadillacs & Dinosaurs. Once, he put Street Fighter 2 in. I spent over an hour there one playing C&D put never finished it.
Our local Sport For All had a cabinet that had mechanized attack (snk), Hero Turtles (konami) and then pacman land (namco). I guess arcade cabinets were MAME before MAME!
In the spirit of arcade test boards the OG Master System had a built in game called Snail Maze which you could access by holding Button 1, Button 2 and UP on the D-Pad without a cartridge plugged in :-) Keep up the awesome work!
ha , I have a mini-vader pcb actually. . was surprised when I got it , many years ago, no one had heard of it nor the story about the Japanese legislation.
I had it on the MEMOTECH MTX512 as COSMIC RAIDERS and I have seen the machine code which was very interesting unfortunately the unit went kapoot as the CPU and GPU overheated and burnt out.(sorry for shouting)
Not quite right about the draw time. It just moves one every frame so it actually takes the same amount of time to draw them because it only ever redraws one at a time but when one is killed there are less frames needed to get back to the first one. eg 50 aliens, 50 frames to move them all, 40 is 40 frames all the way down to 1. You can see the way it works at the start of every round as it redraws them all one at a time.
@ 13:30 - Looks like they turned "Tank Battalion" into the tank board in "Tron" a few years later. Of course "Battalion" was probably originally inspired by the Atari 2600 game, "Combat," which I think had its own arcade-based predecessor in the early-mid 70's... 🧐
Yeah I was thinking the same, I’d guess it’s more to do with how many invaders are updated per frame. After you’ve moved the player, moved the bullets, checked for and dealt with collisions etc, there may not be enough cpu time to move every invader, so instead they decided to just move one. If you have 40 invaders they’d be updated every 40 frames, if you have 20 they’d be updated every 20 frames and by the time there’s only 1 invader it’s moving every frame. I expect it’s something along those lines anyway
I was a Sea Wolf junkie as a kid. But even I had to admit that Space Invaders had something about it that was truly addictive, even in its relative infancy. Problem was, there was no way to copyright the concept of progressive alien wave, 1st person shooter games as protected intellectual property. So once Galaga/Galaxian/Gyruss came out, Space Invaders became a relic that only the little kids played while the aforementioned were occupied by bigger kids/teens and unavailable at the local arcade. When you bought the Atari/Sears 2600 packages in the early 80's, they often would include a Space Invaders cart for free. Not a fitting homage and ending for such an immutable classic.

Best arcade games are as follows escape from robot planet space Lords cyberball Tron disc Tron Spy Hunter Tempest track and field Donkey Kong Donkey Kong Junior Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat
From the images it appears that most of the important chips are plugged in. With the value of them at the time, there is no way the entire board would be thrown away, those chips would be eaisly removed and reused. even the EEPROM's could be re-flashed.
What's funny about JAMMA is that if you ever played the NeoGeo MVS, The Nintendo Playchoice 10, The Sega Naomi, The Sega Chihiro or The Triforce arcade systems you have unkowningly ran to the same ieda. I don't count the laserdisc based ones since I never ever saw one that worked.
Problem with laser disc was the lasers went out fast and the disc seek time was bad. The art and sound was great though. The Bluth drawn ones are certainly the most popular and have versions for modern systems.
The Dexter is a laserdisk emulator that works pretty well in the original cabinets in place of the laserdisk player. We're using one in Dragons' Lair and one in the Sega Hologram game at the Nationaal Videogame Museum in the Netherlands. Come visit if you want to see the first one working (Shameless plug)...
If they’re trying to ship empty cabinets and have to include a board so it’s not unfinished electronics, how did the actual game boards get shipped? They’re incomplete on their own too right?
Could you delve into how or when arcade machines would sometimes include features to audit how often they are played or how much revenue they are bringing in?
I could see these being the next generation of arcade game collecting. Good to even have the board, best to have it with the machine it was meant to play on. So that leaves the $10,000 dollar question. Did Nintendo do this as well? During the NSS (Nintendo Super System) era? Another alternate method of "game changing" was perfected by SNK with the Neo Geo MVS. This was an alternative to Jamma, as Jamma needed the custom harness, the game motherboard (often needing proper fingerboards to install non Jamma to Jamma) and of course the controller/buttons as Jamma has awesome support for joysticks/trackballs/etc. For the Neo Geo, it was a simple cartridge change. I have a slot 1 MVS in a cabaret Neo Geo. And your choices are you can buy each Neo Geo MVS cart individually thus starting a library, or an MVS multicart that has over 100 games in a single cartridge. It's amazing what the Japanese innovated in the "Age of Arcade".
Edit: As a small correction, to clarify Neo Geo arcade games uses Jamma harnesses and can be switch to a "horizontal game" in the Neo Geo cabinet. I mean that SNK had developed the MVS cartridge system to avoid changing the motherboards, only the cartridges.
Awesome.. i was just heading to nostalgia nerd thinking... ive seen them all but ill watch them again.. i can relive my Amiga days again for the 27th time.. then this little gem
I really miss arcades, and I hardly ever played in any. I know, people are operating arcades still, but they don't often get new games, if ever at all. I'd love to see an arcade cabinet running Dark Souls or Celeste. You know what I mean?
I quit smoking 2 years ago, and so i approve of your sponsor. I get my nicotine in lozenge form now, but i had to break the "inhaling" addiction in a way that was bad for blood pressure: i used lozenges while i still smoked cigarettes, lowering the amount of cigs i smoked each day. Because you can be addicted to both nicotine and the act of smoking. At least that how it works if you smoked for 23 years. Yuck. Worst expensive (legal) habit in the world, and vaping nicotine just results in consuming more nicotine since its so easy to consume anywhere. I don't recommend vaping for someone who wants to quit smoking. Too easy to vape anywhere anytime, and though it may be healthier than cigarettes, your body will get used to needing small amounts of nicotine every 15 minutes or half hour, which doesn't help when quitting. Vapour still has particulate matter, which will still accumulate in your lungs. I have a 8mm node of lung treasure myself, thats why i quit.
I love your channel man. You gave me the inspiration to venture deeper into retro. I was surprised with the choice of sponsor. Helping you quit or not, us nerds need to stay away from controversial products. Maybe it's good hearted to help addiction, but as an ex smoker, I still hate those things.. Sorry man
For the highest score and bragging rights. I was 18 and this kid age 13 was good playing Super Pac-Man. I beat his score. But he'll beat that score later. Went back in forth for a week. I finally got a score he couldn't beat. Those were the good old days.
The Intellivision clone Space Armada actually improved on the original by letting you repair the bunkers if you hit a spaceship (Which looked like flying sports cars in this game)
Consoles and PCs getting better than the cabs probably hurt arcades. You can also get so many cheap games, though kids will steal their parent's credit card and spend $100 on a free game instead

Fun fact , Bubble Bobble never had an original cabinet and was made to be a conversion
I debate the use of the word "fun" sir!
I would like to subscribe to more #FunBubbleBobbleFacts
How good I had it back then in the 70s and 80s. Riding my bike to the arcade with a bunch of $1 bills. Not a care in the world.

0:49 if that is true, why do your ship and bullets not speed up?

I wouldnt play none of these games lol . I was playing street fighter 2 in the 90s and things like double dragon and smash tv ect in the 80s
Thing I don't understand about this law: surely it was legal to sell parts for their games? In which case, couldn't they just sell them as parts kits?
Could you delve into how or when arcade machines would sometimes include features to audit how often they are played or how much revenue they are bringing in?
Most arcade boards have a diagnostic menu with detailed statistics so the arcade operator would know exactly how the game was going.
"Avoid the X"? That's good advice... I daren't go to the Lowestoft / Great Yarmouth area anymore after mine moved there...
Really good content as allways I can't donate but thank you for many hours of entertainment especially when I've been feeling down

Just so people know, the FUM thing is like over 100 quid. Hell to the na.
God the woke vape caught me off guard. Less of that and more of what you actually do. Too much selling out here.
I remember hearing the sound from your favourite games and running round trying to find the machine 😂
Only to find someone playing it loaded with an unreasonable amount of credits 😂

That looks like the vintage arcade that is at the little town in Denver that is at the entrance to the mountain road to Estes park from Denver.
But why did they pass this law? What problem was it trying to fix?
Got that space invaders part 2 marquee on my wall , got it for a pound
your comment about japan having the first TV is at best misleading.....
I didn't say they had the first TV at all.

I do know exactly what you mean. These places were hubs, places to hang out, and playing new and exciting games was all part of that experience.
No mention of Polybius? they kept that pretty hidden 😜
Was there also Arcade Club footage in there?
Tank Batalion is the Famicom's Battle City.
Why does it say Space Invader: Part II?
Please send your cabinet cleaner for training.
Great time as a kid playing the cabinet games. Thank you
Was the same law applicable to consoles? The Sega Master System has the hidden snail maze game, for example.
I doubt it, since the Master System is an exception and not the rule.
Oh yeah I saw the Sharopolis video on this a few months ago!
Great video. I really enjoy these history lessons.
Canada was filled with pirated arcade cabinets.

polybius was test board

It's not "extents and purposes". It's "intents and purposes".
It's "single" not "singular."
It's "descend" not "ascend".
Very interesting topic
9:50 This game looks a lot like Dodge 'Em on the Atari 2600. 2-player mode was even more of a blast.

Why would someone play a game that never ends?
For the highest score and bragging rights. I was 18 and this kid age 13 was good playing Super Pac-Man. I beat his score. But he'll beat that score later. Went back in forth for a week. I finally got a score he couldn't beat. Those were the good old days.

Consoles and PCs getting better than the cabs probably hurt arcades. You can also get so many cheap games, though kids will steal their parent's credit card and spend $100 on a free game instead
Fascinating!
