Episode Notes:
1. Most of the arcade footage you see here is captured via MAME.
2. Console footage is mostly a combination of real hardware and FPGA devices. - Ігри
Another series to watch with a drink and popcorn
Wrong what you are supposed to do is eat broccoli while gaming. what's wrong with you?
@@jacobprayer8656 Like cheese and broccoli pasta?
@@AmbientMess wrong again friend!! Broccoli and beets are the ONLY acceptable gaming foods.
@@jacobprayer8656 haha gonna take your advice on that then!
For real
80 and 90 was a great time for gamers.
The Dreamcast especially I’ll never forget. The same graphics as the arcade, and the ability to bring your VMU into certain machines, will never forget that era ❤️
Soul Caliber 2 on Dreamcast blew the arcade version out the water. When consoles started having able to run with arcade graphics and at times look better then I knew their days was numbered.
One of my favourite arcade ports was for Cyber Troopers: Virtual On for the Saturn. I only got to play the arcade version once due to it seemingly being very rare in the UK. I was working a summer job by the coast and I toured the arcades trying to find the arcade version. I went back there later on and the machine was long gone, replaced by some gambling machines. It was sad to watch the decline of the arcade, those games felt special because you couldn't take the 100% authentic version of the game home. Some of those cabinets like Space Harrier felt revolutionary. It's sad that there will be people who never get to experience such machines.
you mentioned your family's interest and enthusiasm for arcades. I think a big part of why I find your content so enjoyable is you sharing your lived experience with all these games. it's just great.
Arcading make up many of my favourite memories from my childhood. Space Invaders was my first along with Asteroids. I was born in 69 was I was at the prime age to enjoy everything that came along. Seeing the changes from Pong to Space Harrier and Dragons Lair looking back was mind blowing.
I would always keep an eye on all the new games that came along and found my favourite genre that way and it’s light fun shooters. Terminator 2,Area 51 and then on to House Of The Dead and my all time favourite Rambo 2008.
I look at games like Defender and Scramble with such fond memories of them being ridiculously hard
I feel you 100%! I was stuck with an Atari 2600 when everyone else had the good consoles! I hated life until I finally got a C64
Can we take a minute to appreciate the awesomeness that was the music of the starting menu screen in the NES version of Double Dragon?
A true classic, the game should have been called single dragon lol.
The title screen music got you pumped for a adventure. 🙂
The double dragon title theme plays in the game river city ransom when you fight the dragon twins, near the end of the game.
@@marccaselle8108 nice! :-)
The NES Chip tunes are absolutely awesome. They still invoke so much emotion and feeling. The musical atmosphere was a big part of what made NES games so special. To this day when I hear Double Dragon's start up music, I'm enstently a kid again playing it for the first time. That's why I love watching my kids play NES games. You get to relive those memories though there eyes.
@@wargameboy72 Do a UA-cam search for "Niko's 8BitStereo". He remastered all of the NES and Famicom games from their original mono sound into stereo! Listen to the Double Dragon one he did from a year ago, and listen to it with headphones on. It's amazing.
I first played this on a Nintendo play choice 10 arcade machine in the 80s.
Ikari Warriors was a go to couch co op game. Loved it.
Love the show, SLX! Early super Scaler hardware was very novel for its time. The scaling hardware was ANALOG! The raster scan position within the sprite was controlled by a VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) , a part more often associated with vintage music synthesizers than graphics. To scale a sprite up, the VCO frequency was decreased, making it spend more time scanning across the sprite relative to the screen pixel rate. I think Pole Position did something similar back in 1982. Or maybe it was Turbo, I forget.
I reset the score counter of Missile Command on the 2600 when I was a kid. It resets back to zero after you get 999, 999 points. I thought that was a big accomplishment back then, and no one believed me when I told them I did it.
Robocop arcade was simply epic at the time,I remember the awesome fights with ig-99… or when you get the super gun, destroying everything on your path. Melee punches sounded heavy and somehow represented the movie really good
Maybe it's just a case of "correlation doesn't equal causation", but have you noticed Sega's rise and fall almost coincides with the arcade's rise and fall? They were at their absolute *best* when arcades were at their strongest, and as arcades waned, so did they.
This is a rather common pattern in business, many companies don't survive such paradigm shifts. SEGA is obviously still alive but is not as major of a player anymore
@@mystrdat Sega, as we knew them, ceased to exist when Sammy bought them out. They're basically Atari now.
They made alot of arcade games but it those customers had to spend there money elsewhere in gaming so it came down to the Saturn and Dreamcast's poor sales. Mainly the hardware issue making burning Dreamcast games so easy game sales were torched
Sega lord you grew up a little earlier than me so you got the full video game experience. I was born in 85 so my experience started on a nes home console. My Dad played galaga and pinball when I was a baby.
Honestly that sounds ridiculous dude.
was born in '78 here I really like your videos bringing back memories from my childhood
As a fellow Gen Xer, wow do I relate to these memories. I still vividly remember having my six-year old mind blown by seeing and hearing Galaxian for the first time at a Showbiz Pizza.
One difference: I had a ColecoVision by the time the home ports of Donkey Kong and Burgertime dropped. Those were two of the many excellent arcade adaptions on the Coleco.
Another fantastic compilation! Going on my Playlist for sure
Yikes.
@@skudfo2711 y
I was born in May of 1975, Been gaming since Atari 2600 system. I was like 5-6 years old lol still gaming today my passion is 80s and 90s arcade games, love 2000s as well
Finally I got to watch all the episodes, so what if I am at work not working...🤣. Thanks for the video man
Brilliant series - but Dreamcast deserved some shine at the end. It was the ultimate moment that ‘arcade perfect plus’ arrived for gamers who had craved to have arcade quality games at home for so long! Soul Calibur on DC is a historical tipping point. Unfair to group DC in with PS2 and later consoles. It was ahead of its time and really deserved the finale of this series.
I remember our mall arcade in 1984 when it opened. What a fascinating experience for an 8 year old. Moon Patrol, Joust, Spy Hunter, Dig Dug, Tron, Discs Of Tron (cockpit), Crossbow, Chiller, Battlezone, Two Tigers, Defender, Missile Command, QBert, Burgertime, Dragons Lair, Chiller. Nothing else like it. I regret I wasn’t able to experience an arcade just a little earlier, because I missed out on a lot of vectors games, Sprint 2, Turbo, Space Encounters, Galaxian, Asteroids, etc. could only find an original PacMan and Sinistar at a local movie theatre which was very cool to experience those.
Then there’s a whole host of less popular games of the time that I never saw or experienced. No Glob, Cosmic Guerilla, Space Zap, Cosmic Aliens, Ponpoko, Amidar, Make Trax, etc for me :(
I'm already thinking this video looks more like a movie rather than a series, seeing as how the videos in this one whole video were edited together.
I like it this way.
I remember spending hours in the arcades in the late 80s as a young boy watching older kids play the machines or just watching the attract modes taking on the wonderment of the sights and sounds. I truly feel blessed to be alive to have witnessed those special times. Another awesome video Sega lord X!
The attract mode.. I was spellbound by the attract mode for Vindicators and Blasteroids. I probably looked like a weirdo standing by the machine for many minutes, not playing the game, waiting for the attract mode to activate again. I have Vindicators as part of the Midway Arcade Treasures, I would like to record the attract mode and post it on youtube, but I'm not sure how I would do it or what equipment I would need.. do you or anyone else have any suggestions?
That part and quote from 1:39:44 and onwards made me tear up a bit. I miss those arcade times. Only Japan you can still experience the arcade scenes.
And now it's time for the Arcade Treasure series to be in a full video as well. I am so looking forward to that one.
I honestly think we took the same lane in gaming life.
That makes three of us my friend. Till this day, I’d much rather play arcade style games rather then stuff like RPG’s or anything else that takes forever to get into and complete. Lol
Same here !
Here here! Especially in older age with a wife kid and work! That's why I love my sega saturn so much !
I was the same with arcades but I was born in '82 ... altered beast was one of the first things I noticed ... also arkanoid ... double dragon ...
I've already watched all parts of this but it's worth watching again as a single video. 👍🏽
The only complaint I have there’s only one thumbs up I can give you. I appreciate the effort and time and soul you put in all your videos 👍👍
Lmao i remember being excited to tag along to the arcade at the big mall with my older brother and cousin just to watch them play games or watch the attraction modem. I played galaxian on a machine that also included pacman in 1998 at my local restaurant that was literally a stones throw away, throwing the stone as a 7 year old lol.
Thank you for another great anthology! I agree with dropping it at the G5 console series; the lines between the arcade and home-based hardware became so blurred after that. Thanks for the compilation, and the continuing nostalgia trip :)
AMAZING SERIES! Takes me back to my childhood. I remember all these titles at my local arcade. The Master system was very rare in my neighborhood too: the only person who owned one was an adult !! I played it 2-3 times
These compilation vids are helping me get through my sessions on the elliptical haha SLX is my unofficial fitness coach
Keep up the hard work my friend.
1971 here, i saw and play the hole thing here in Brazil, thx for the amazing content.
Loved this series. I'm an older gamer had an Atari 2600 then a nes growing up. Remember playing at the 3 local arcades when I was teenager and wishing my NES looked and played as well as they did. Loved the Sega machines mainly Genesis and Sarturn. Those were good days for gaming.
AWESOME VIDEO!! thank You! All this also brings me back memories
Loving the series compliations keep em coming!
Amazing arcade retrospective! Thank you so much!!
Loving these longer compilation videos. Thank you so much Sega Lord X.
Outstanding and robust retrospective. Your writing and presentation are exceptional. Fun!
Fascinating video! It’s always cool to look into a different time, and the progression of tech is really interesting to watch. I’ve really been enjoying this channel; it reminds me why I started buying retro games in the first place
Upvoted for the narrator’s deadpan delivery of the line ‘I won’t blow smoke up your ass..’
You are completely killing it with the content! 😊
I have a nearly exact timeline and experience as you. This was a great video, enjoyed the trip down memory lane.
This is one of my favorite YT channels! So glad the vids are longer! Great stuff bro 👍🏽!
You are the best uploader ever to grace UA-cam and I take my hat off to you!
80s kid here, and I had The Nes, Snes, Sega Genesis, Turbo Grafix 16 and the Game boy and they are the only ones that Have Nostalgia attached to them at least for me. The Games of today don't bring the memories like the older ones do. The graphics of the 80s and 90s consoles are something that you had to grow up with and experience them for yourself to appreciate.
Same story for me. One of my uncles showed me this and I was amazed and didn’t even know what a video game was and here I am cheers brother.
Love the content you share with us, my first Sega system was the Saturn. I adored the games I had on the Sega Saturn, and wish I still had it along with all my games.
Sega Arcade classics on 3DS was my first time playing super scalers at home, well worth the port.
What a GREAT video. One of gamings best. You got everything right of my sentiments growing up and Experiences of the ups and downs of the arcade into Console gaming. Never has an 1 hour and 40 mins ever go so fast. BRAVO!!!!
Superb compilation, good work
You had all my arcade great time back. Thank you.
Just rewatching this entire video today. Funny how the Master System was not popular in the U.S. and finding one in the wild was quite rare. Well in PAL regions it was quite the opposite, the Master System was very dominant here and finding a kid that had an NES was very rare. The PAL NES was manufactured by Mattel from memory.
Later on in the video during the 32-bit era, it was interesting to see the Saturn and PS1 get shout outs for some of their arcade to home conversions. I never had either growing up in the mid 90's. After the Mega Drive, my family bypassed both of those consoles and jumped on the N64 and then briefly Dreamcast to XBox and XBox to Gamecube, Gamecube to PS2 and then I returned for life to the Mega Drive as by 2003 I discovered that it was my one true console for life and I then started tracking down the Mega-CD extension and other add-ons.
Lord Sega please! 🙏 I spent an hour yesterday listening to your golden voice. I spent an hour watching your beautiful works. Give me more than a day! /s
Cool compilation, thanks homie.
Sega Lord X thanks for making another collection for all of these great videos yours truly Sega Mega Zero
Love the channel my friend:)
You are so good at doing these long form videos. Your narration alone is worth the time.
Great job SLX! You should be proud of your work.
Great video as always man keep it up
Good timing, I was just browsing through your channel for something to watch.
Its always nuts to hear about video games from a dude that's been in the medium before I was born. Like peeking into a new world
Well, quite literally, it’s peeking into an older world. And a better one.
@@feliscorax Not better.
@DOGS LOL You ain't much older than me and some of my favorite games ever are from this century. But I managed to adapt and enjoy modern games. The main difference seems to be that you clearly associate gaming with your childhood and the type of games belonging to that era. 2002 was when the fun for you stopped but for me it's the year when TES: Morrowind launched, which got me seriously invested in RPG's and is one of my all time favorite games.
@DOGS LOL I will repeat you ain't much older than me but I still can't relate with phrases like 'simply getting older. Must have to do it how life have treated you and me differently because I have more energy now than in my early 20s.
Excellent video!!
Awesome thanks segalordx great work Sir
Great series! Thank you!
Your one of the best to do it my friend great job as usual
I watched this entire video just agreeing with you! I enjoyed going to the arcade with my family from tmnt, house of the dead, terminator, Daytona, mortal kombat, tekken the list goes on and on! I enjoyed it. This video and the content was awesome. Each home console had its own unique style and sense of competitiveness. Video games gave us some great memories. Thanks SLX! Great content as always!
What a nostalgic trip! Thanks for this vid!
Good stuff man. Keeping the classics alive 👾
The n.e.s. version of Contra was and still is one of my favorite games, i once took an elastic band and some pennies and wrapped it around the controller to hold down the fire button and positioned my guy just so at a point were an enemy comes and i learned if i stand in a spot continuously firing the enemies would keep popping up. i did this on the 1rst stage and it was at a point(literally the first segment of the 1st level)were there was only one spot the bad guys would keep popping up so as long as the fire button was compressed my guy would be fine,lol no time limit helped to so i did this one day in the morning before school so when i came back id have all these free extra men built up and it worked beautiful. i had earned 120plus men (127or147,i can't remember)and with all those credits i fought my way thru and finally completed the game which goes back to 1rst level after the credits and i think its a little harder, i put so much time into that game. Another old n.e.s. game:Castlevania 2 simon's quest i think, was amazing to me and my favorite instalment to the franchise. i thought the vast scope of cites terrain and castles along with caves and other environments with many characters all with different dialogue exclusive to each one was a nice touch.
Respect your content Sega lord always enjoy your insight of games on everything you do for the video game community
Fantastic content!
man, I miss arcades....the glowing screens...abundance of quarters...the digitized sounds filling the area. Ah, good times. Good times.
Amazing job love your videos 🤩
Epic bro. Much abliged!
Very much looking forward to watching this
Awesome video! Love these games!!!
Awesome video! Would love to see more like this.
We must be of the exact same generation Sega Lord X, when you narrate your personal perspective and experience it's like a flashback in time. There was nothing like growing up in the 90's.
were you born mid 70s?
@@adewilson132 : Exaclty. Dead and center.
What a great work you made here ! Reminds me old games I had forgotten like Spy Hunter ! Thanks so much for that 🥰😇🤗👍🍺
Ahhh 75'. You are my older brother in spirit. Great content!
I'll watch this and then spend the rest of the night on MAME. Cheers for the video.
Wow this looooong!!! 👏 I didn't know what I was getting my self into, glad I did 🙃 😅 🙂
My favourite arcade game has to be bubble bobble. The theme song will keep playing for days in your head. And gameplay is quite addictive that you'll wanna continue
Back in the 80s about the time I convinced my dad to get us a used Atari 2600, my friends family got the new Colecovision, which had awesome ports of Donkey Kong, Zaxxon and some others. It has an great port of Ladybug too, which was a souped up pac man with some cool twists. Thank you for the awesome content. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thank you for this video :)
grandioso ,bestial ,que gran trabajo has hecho desde el minuto uno hasta el final,que recuerdos ,por eso sigo jugando a todos esos juegos hoy en dia ,desde Bilbao "Basque Country" saludos y gracias
I have beaten Defefender for tha Atari 2600 (it's the only game I've beaten in this console). It lasted around 5 hours and a half and ends when you reach 1.000.000 points and the counter restores to zero. I remember starting playing it at around 10:30 a.m and beat the game at around 4:30 p.m.
My mother wanted to watch her tv shows and asked me from time to time if I have ended the game and I replayed "just a moment, gimme 5 more minutes"... and then so on until I reached 999.999 points and when I hit the next ship the next number in the counter was 0.
I was like 7 or 8 years old.
Lordy made a long one for us to enjoy, thank you Lordy!
I’ve noticed the 3DO barely had any shmups. Like horizontal or vertical scrolling shoot ‘em ups. While the PC Engine, Saturn and PlayStation ate it all up, the 3DO had none. If we were to get some back in the day, we would’ve got Raiden, Truxton II, Dogyuun, Grind Stormer and Mahou Daisakusen (which should’ve saw a release on the Saturn and PlayStation).
Great content 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love these long vids keep it up brother
So glad i discovered this channel.
I remember playing Double Dragon at Network Video (family-owned video store in my neighborhood) and Winn-Dixie had a Playchoice 10. Even the local Quik-Stop had an arcade cabinet (can't recall what title). Better times, gone forever.
I miss when arcades were inside of convenience stores. That era is long gone now.
Another great video
prior to emulation becoming mainstream (starting on the PC but also being ported to some of the more powerful consoles and in various raspberry pi type devices and now of course the infamous Arcade1ups and various other plug and play type things before and since), there were some great pc ports of arcade games, and the sega saturn, sony playstation and sega dreamcast brought out a lot of good quality conversions. the best way is still on a PC, but if I could afford an RGB style monitor and jamma supergun that would be pretty awesome, since owning your own retro arcade seems like a real money losing hobby (although totally awesome if you can swing it and share it with others!). of course the big elephant in the room is the NEOGEO because the hardware was basically the same in the console as at the arcades. it's a shame I couldn't afford one as a kid (most of us couldn't) but in recent years I finally got the mini as a gift and that was a real milestone in collecting what eventually became a great library of games (not just street fighter ii ripoffs although SNK was very good at those too!)
What a great video to watch on a relaxing Saturday while playing with my bunny.
Beautiful work X, top three UA-cam channels.
I was obsessed with playing the arcade spy hunter. I remember they had it at Jamesway, along with TMNT and double dragon. God ol days man.
EXCELLENT VIDEO
