    When this came out in the arcades i was just a kid.. And let me tell you.. there was nothing like it.. it was amazing.. Cabinet and style of the machine was unforgettable. Nobody had ever seen a 3d game like this b4..
    thx for the review
    and LGR your bang on !! its a mass quarter stealer

      I remember freaking out about it. Dropped a lot of quarters in this one.

  • @tsufordman
    @tsufordman 5 років тому +11

    I played this game once. It was $1 when a quarter was still the standard and $.50 would get you a sit-down console ride. It was pulled pretty quick out of the small arcade I frequented.

    I came across this game for the first time a few years ago at an arcade. It still feels so futuristic. I had no idea what it was. I died instantly. I could not figure out what I was doing wrong.

      He sure did, and the umpire and the catcher were to much in shock to react in an appropriate manner.

    Years ago I saw this next to a Simpsons arcade game, it didn't even cross my mind to play it, I just played the Simpsons one over and over and I don't regret that.

    I used to go with my parents to Vegas growing up (age 10-16) and those huge arcades back then in the casinos used to have this game and man was I blown away. Great review. Love Retroware btw, had no idea you were affiliated.

  • @roebuck2600
    @roebuck2600 11 років тому +1

    I never played this game, but I distinctly remember seeing it in an arcade in the mid-90s. Since I didn't play it, (as I was a kid and had probably spent all my quarters on other games by then) I didn't know what it was at the time, but the 3D effect caught my eye and left a strong impression. It looked so futuristic and impressive, and set my mind wondering about holographic games that could take place in everyday environments - basically anticipating AR games.

  • @LGR

    I'll never forget when I saw this arcade game at my local mall one summer. I spent so much money on that game, it was so cool. I always wondered why there weren't other Hologram games...

    @leesamardzija9165 Рік тому +1

    At least modern games tell you what button to press in the QTE's. Back in the days of Dragons Lair and Space Ace it was trial and error and the loading times on a Commodore Amiga were horrendous. These were the kind of games you'd put on for 5 minutes just to show off the graphics to your mates.

  • @q306005
    @q306005 10 років тому +32

    Why does Cowboy guy shoot everybody!? He kills them even when they're running away, and he just straight up murdered those two baseball players! This game is sick and sadistic!

    • @Scripture-Man
      @Scripture-Man 5 років тому +2

      LOL it's true. The moral of the game is basically: "Shoot everyone! Kill everything!"

    I *did* play this back in the day and watching this video was enough nostalgia for me. No need to seek it out. Thanks. Great video. I had forgotten all about this thing.

  • @noizyme
    @noizyme 11 років тому

    In a sea of games that looked similar, this one intrigued me back in the day. And it stole its fair share of quarters from me, but it was worth the actual experience, which seems like getting a camera to capture it nowadays doesn't even compare to actually playing its cabinet. Great vid. Scary freaking skullface.

  • @founder3
    @founder3 8 років тому +8

    Holy Crap! I remember seeing this at my bowling alley back in the early 90's. It had a big Adults Only sign on it and we "kids" would get in trouble for just watching the demo reel haha! Great to see there are still working models out there! What a blast from the past to see this!

  • @Gojiro7

    Oh, man, I remember this one. I've not been able to find it since I saw it in the early 90s. Thanks for posting this! I was beginning to think that I'd imagined it. I mean... it's not a great game, but the arcade display *was* fascinating tech.

  • @ShamanEffect
    @ShamanEffect 11 років тому

    I remember encountering one of these machines in an arcade as a kid and I even got to play it once. I sucked horribly and got killed very quickly. The one thing I always remembered about it was that damn skull face. Even in that very brief session, that face stuck with me all these years later. That face is what ultimately made me remember the game. Sweet nightmare fuel for a young kid back then.

    A local movie theater used to have a Holosseum up until around 2010. They still have a few machines like Area-51, but it was so strange to see something as unique as Holosseum in a theater.

  • @factsmatter2.0

    I remember seeing this at all the arcades in the early 90's. I never played it but i enjoyed messing with the holograms trying to touch them. I would, in a very serious way, love to own one of the cabinets for this.

    Ah, wow.... this brings back memories.
    Ever since this game has popped into my head from time to time, but I could never remember what it was called, so Im fairlyrapt to have found this video.
    The visual effect was really well done. Would be fun to try to recreate it.

I never could find any info about it, and now....just browsing youtube, blam, here it is! Thank you so much! ....now let's see what this was all about. (I remember there was a huge crowd around it and only got a mere peek out of it)

    The Luxor casino in Las vegas used to partner with Sega and they had a huge, and I mean multiple floors huge arcade with tons of Sega arcade games as well as others. I played this once, I was maybe nine or ten and I really liked the display but the actual game was not so good. Still, nostalgia.

    OH MY GAWD...I don't believe this...you might never see this comment but I was randomly going through your channel...cause ahem I subscribe to PUR...then I saw this game review and randomly clicked on it...years ago when I was a VERY young kid, my parents decided to take a vacation to PEI, along the way we stopped at I think a tourist shack and I happened to see this strange arcade machine about a holographic time traveler cowboy or something...it looked cool and unfortunately since my parents didn't want to spend money to let me play it I was just awed at the demo of the game until it was time to go, I NEVER saw it again and never had any idea what the game was even called...until today that is...thanks for this!

    I remember when the arcade machine came to our local arcade. They advertised it like crazy. It was pretty spectacular for the time as that holo effect was pretty convincing. It was a straight quarter muncher though.

  • @joolsstoo3085
    @joolsstoo3085 11 років тому

    Strangely I played this in a convenience store of all places. A large one not far from my home always got the best/biggest arcade cabinets like the X-men six player, Steel Talons, Race Drivin', Ninja Turtles arcade, Sunset Riders etc. Played it once and moved on, but it was interesting to watch at the very least.

    Had one of these at a local arcade when I was a kid. Even then it was simply something you played once and never again. Same with Dragon's Lair. Once you found out how little control is involved you'd rarely give them the time of day and go back to the Simpson's or Xmen machines.

    Is anyone familiar with a holographic arcade game that involves shooting ghosts in a kitchen setting with a refrigerator opening and maybe ghosts coming out of it? It was out sometime between the early or mid-90's. It was absolutely mesmerizing and it still bugs me to this day that I can't remember what it was called.

    The only explanations I could ever come up with for why the hero is a cowboy is A: There were only limited time periods that the Princess could choose from and the old west was the most advanced she could pull a recruit from or B: They had sent other recruits in before, and each time one failed they analyzed what went wrong then adjusted their selection criteria, and he fitted whatever criteria they were looking to match for the current attempt.

    I remember when a local news station in L.A. did a segment on this game calling it the "Next wave of the future" and did some interviews with the really bad actors. I also happened to be at the Circus Circus when they premiered it there. There were people 10 deep watching the game. The funny thing was a year later it was the most barren game in the arcade.

    Hi, have you ever heard of Xena holographic arcade game early 90's. I I played it at Bucks a sports bar in Akron. It's impossible to find anything on it. I found a guy on pub crawl who used to work there and played it all the time screen name white or grey owl. Besides him I thought I played it in a parallel world or something.

    I'm waiting on the consumer version before I get one, I see no need to lay down the cash on what is soon to be the inferior product since I'm not a developer. But yeah, I cannot wait to get my hands on the final thing! VR has always intrigued me and this is the best I've seen for consumers.

    I remember an arcade here having something like Holosseum. At least, it was a 3D fighting game but it didn't have the top cabinet part like the one you show here. It was just a clear dome. I wondered why the concept didn't take off, but it was just a gimmick. BTW the effect comes across very well in your video.

    @thepirategamerboy12 11 років тому

    I would LOVE it if you reviewed Freedom Fighter next. It's one of the best and most complex Laserdisc games ever (it's a FPS-like game). But, the thing is that it's un-emulated, there's only one working machine left, and the only port of the game is on the CD-i (under the title of "Escape from CyberCity"), and that port is missing a bit of levels from the arcade version.

    So i got to this video while watching an episode of the old Batman animated tv show. (In my adult life 2020) Batman Blu ray box set birthday gift entire series including Mask of the Phantasm and Subzero feature length movies! Fantastic collectable item for the pop culture collector at heart! But i’m getting off track. In one episode Batman attempts to save a woman from train tracks only to find out she was a hologram. Then i got to reminiscing of the time i was waiting to see Batman Forever in theaters and there was this odd holographic arcade game that i had never seen before and never saw again! I never even got to play it because i was a 14 year old with no pocket change. I thought maybe I imagined it before i did a google search which brought here! And thats how i got here! At least I didn’t imagine it.
