>>3838686
i guess it's only lesser-known to me since i had only played the nes version, but strider had some good music at least

You should check out (if you haven't) the PC Engine CD version for the arranged music

Does anyone have the last thread?

>>3838686
There's this Neo Geo game where you fight boss type enemies the whole game. Can't remember what it's called but if someone can help, please do./

>>3838991

Second this request.

>>3838991
Neo Geo? I know some games like this, but they aren't Neo Geo games.

Top Hunter: Roddy and Cathy is one of my favorites

>>3839454
Oh thanks, it was Metamoqester. I could have swore it was a NeoGeo game.

>>3838965
woah that looks cool --thanks

Mystic Warriors by Konami
It's sort of an urban Sunset Riders with ninjas. In fact, you go to a drive in and there's a movie of it playing.

>>3838686

Unfortunately quite a few. Since Nintendo won the nostalgia wars nobody talks about arcade games in general, and when they do it's only the biggest games.

>>3839509
Awesome game

OP, watch Game Sack's Left in the Arcade series for lots of hidden gems

>>3838686
Obviously just a clone or upgrade from Strider.

>>3840085
Well, it was made by the same team responsible for the first Strider.

Salamander 2 because bitches don't know Life Force had a sequel

Buster bros/pang

Incredibly fun and incredibly addicting game. I have the port as part of the buster buddies collection on ps1 and love it to death!

SAR - Search and Rescue from SNK. Bloody and detailed as hell.

>>3838965
I should play this on acid

What's the name of that run n' gun game with the game show theme?

>>3841197

smash tv

>>3841201

No, this game wasn't gory or anything like that. It played more akin to Super Contra's top down levels than Smash TV.

>>3838965

Just downloaded it
Works i can shoot etc but i can't move right or left
Mame 0.149.1 here maybe that's why...

>>3840616

How am i supposed to shoot behind me ?
Am i just supposed to walk forward ?

Dragon Breed by irem (r-type)
excellent game

Hyper Duel

I love this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHfJmubD6JA

>>3838686
It was crap in comparison to Strider. You could literally just run past the enemies and had none of the Strider - feels. The music, story and background were poor

>>3841202
>It played more akin to Super Contra's top down levels than Smash TV.
Total Carnage? It was the follow-up to Smash TV and is not as gory as the name would imply.

>>3841265
>Cyber Police
I'd purchase that for a peso!

>>3841202
Nitro Ball from Data east, pretty fun game and not too hard

>>3841424
Yes, that's the title.

>>3840973
>>3838686

Whatever happened to the mainframe rendered 3d aesthetic?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7z25MrF1hk

>>3840343
former capcom employees including Isuke (Strider's original game designer) made Osman/Cannon Dancer, the similarities are not a coincidence

>>3838686
the Panic Street series. be careful though because there are versions of these games that are softcore with realistic women. another game like this you should check out and it's by Namco is Dancing Eyes.

>>3838686
Way too many to name!

>>3841689

Are there any good platform games for arcades worth playing?

>>3842310
From Taito alone there's Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands, New Zealand Story, and Liquid Kids.

>>3838965
I absolutely love this game's look. So good.

>>3842375
Other good Taito arcade games

Taito Playlist updated with thread recommandations

now playing The New Zealand Story

>>3842310

List of Plateformers, Run and gun etc

Not sure how to sort them...
I mean in New Zealand Story and Robocop or contra you can jump and shoot but they are three very diferents games... idk

(flat and 2d unlike belt scrollers/brawlers i guess)

>>3843210

Oh and this is Openemu interface for anyone wondering... It let you create playlists for games collections regardless of the system you emulate

For example you can create a Mario playlist with Gb Nes and snes titles grouped together and launch them from there

Downside is in the experimental build of Openemu, the mame core is MAME 0.149.1 and Openemu will only dl artwork for consoles like Snes Genesis etc so you have to do it on your own
Same goes for adding the bios and files that are sometime required for a particular game to work

Majority of arcade games works flawlessly and the artworks are on the emuparadise page so..

The playlists system is really nice and the app is very unique for a non frontend one

Speaking about arcade emulation..
Look what i found on Youtube
isn't that awesome ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoZk_KS-Qyk

Seems like console war will soon be over..
People will just build their own machine and enjoy thousands of games from when gaming was actually good (for free)

inb4 not a crt
Bye bye retro hardware hoarders, pc cuck and console fags...

yfw soon even a technologically inept guy will be able to torrent an image with every romsets artworks with custom themes and videos previews for any system

yfw everything will run on free hardware and software like pi or beaglebone shit and not on sony psp or chinese android google machines

Steam sony and Nintendo are trying to bundle old arcade games for $4 to $7 each on their proprietary stores kek

But yeah gimmicky hardware, VR, interactive movies and AAA walking sims are the future...

Coin-op games was like capitalism done right..
Every game was like a standalone attract mode,
had almost infinite replay value and was hard enough to avoid camping in front of the cabinet
You really can't beat that, especially with jokes like the switch or $1000 Vive setups imo

>>3843178
No Bubble Symphony or Puzzle Bobble games?

>>3843301
>But yeah gimmicky hardware, VR, interactive movies and AAA walking sims are the future...
I am really hoping augmented reality games will a part of the future.

>>3841215
IIRC that old game had a rotary joystick. Meaning you move with it, but the top half could rotate allowing you to select your shooting direction. In MAME there should be a control list for that game's controls that has some sort of rotary control. I forget what it's called, but it's the same thing you would see in the game Heavy Barrel.
It's clumsy as hell in MAME, but it's doable. Just have a couple of buttons being increase and decrease for that thing, remove mouse support if it's done, and then move with one set of movement controls, rotate with the two buttons and shoot with the last two buttons.
It's a little bit of a hassle, but for Heavy Barrel and SAR, it's worth it.

Here ya go

>>3843249
You're the fucking cuck if you can't output 15.7 KHz RGB signals from a Radeon HD 4000 or lower to a CRT monitor using GroovyMAME.

>>3839454
so cool. thanks for sharing

>>3839509
just did a playthrough, it was great.

>>3844636
>>>/vr/thread/3664816

Great thread.

>>3844858
You're a fucking cuck if you're still using a Radeon HD 4000 or lower as the new versions of CRT_EmuDriver support much more powerful cards.

>>3846024
Not just more powerful cards but better functionality too, like EDID emulation.

I'd say 3 Wonders is worth a try, none of the games featured in that compilation are amazing, but they are still a pretty good time.

>>3846024
You're the cuck. The lower limit has gone from non-HD 9000 down to 7000. You know nothing. You just revealed your own ignorance. HD 4000 remains the upper limit. Go prep the bull now.

>>3846514
Three Wonders is a great fucking experience. Really wish Capcom had made more multi-games like that

Also Capcom, Quiz & Dragons. I know that Quiz games are really fucking huge in Japan, but it's just weird to me that Capcom tried to bring them over to the west. Really fun though and quite challenging

>>3843301
I get what you're saying, but when VR works well it's really like nothing else out there.

>>3846545
>>3846024
calm down guys you're both the cuck.

>>3846552
what the fuck is this genre?
there are so many random japanese quiz games, it seems like there's one for every big anime franchise too. the only comparable thing i could thing of in the west is You Don't Know Jack

I have some saturn compilation disc with x-multiply. Surprisingly good game, if a bit generic

>>3841234
>watch first two levels
>hey that was pretty cool
>about to close video at 7:46

Oh yeah. That's it right there.

>>3846552
Yeah, I love the art style of the first two games. Wish Capcom would do something more with "series".

>>3848908
90s as hell
also lewd

>>3839509
Really good music in that.
>>3841334
>concerned about story
>in an arcade game
The fuck is wrong with you?

Haven't seen it mentioned, but just played through some Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and that shit is hilarious fun. Definitely give it a try.

>>3846514
When it comes to compilations I'd also recommend Namco Classic Collections.

>>3841250
those are some delicious graphics

Legend of Kage. Best damned game at the bowling alley in 1990.

Eightman so far seems fun enough, but I'm currently just fucking around and kept dying so I'm not sure how's the actual difficulty.

>>3854102
Yeah, it's simple yet so addicting. Easily one of the best pre-SMB platformers.

>>3841183

BEWARE.

I LIVE.

Bump

>>3854102
Wasn't there a sequel on NES called Demon Sword?

>>3838686
nice thread op

>>3841250
Best graphics

>>3840062
Arcade games, retard.

not really thread related but there's a Time Crisis II I saw scrolling through offerup for $75 that needs its monitors replaced
would that be an easy fix for someone with no prior experience with this sorta thing?

>>3838991
Uh

>>3857902
Don't be rude.

>>3859797
Don't be retarded.

I always had a soft spot for Devil World. No, not the early NES maze game that Nintendo refused to localized in order to avoid offending Christians, but a Gauntlet-clone by Konami that starred an Indiana Jones knockoff and a hot reporter. It's not a masterpiece, but I like the aesthetic and style of Konami's arcade games from that era.

The U.S version, Dark Adventure (which may had been the original version), has 3P co-op and a less linear design, but it's broken as hell. Your life gets drained much faster and the player characters wield melee weapons instead of guns. It's pretty much a mindless quarter muncher compared to the JP and World versions of the game.

May as well ask here, I keep asking about this game again and again, and I still have yet to get the name of this fucking game:

It was some weird 2D overhead action arcade game, you played as some chibi wolf/tiger dude with a sword and a headband, and you went through mazes structured almost like a Zelda 1 dungeon, some rooms had minigames, one of which I recall had you hitting cannons with your sword to shoot octopi coming down at you space invaders style.

The game was a lot of fun and I want to play it again.

>>3857268
Yeah. It gives you a cool seven branch sword, but it plays a lot slower than Legend of Kage, as I recall.

>>3843178
>>3843195
>>3843210
No Wardner? It was my go to game in my local arcade.

>>3860094
Do you remember which company it was? It sounds a bit similar to Legend of Valkyrie, but that starred a girl.

>>3861686
I have no idea, I know it wasn't one of the big guys like Konami or Namco. The intro/attract mode was odd too because it showed the guy as a human, then there was a flash and then he was the wolf/tiger thing, and I'm pretty sure he shed a single tear.

>>3860094
Shocking 1997 by Yun Sung

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSqM7rs_Nfg

>>3862000
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA JESUS MCFUCKING CHRIST YES. FUCK

I FINALLY KNOW THE NAME OF THIS STUPID GAME, AFTER ALL THESE GODDAMN YEARS OF TRYING TO FIND IT, AND ASKING PEOPLE

FINALLY I KNOW. WHOEVER YOU ARE, YOU ARE MY FUCKING HERO, A FUCKING STUPID WEIGHT HAS BEEN LIFTED FROM MY SHOULDERS

>>3862005
well after playing through the game in about 20 minutes I can say I am satisfied, the game's just as weird and mediocre as I remembered, but I forgot about the stolen sprites from Rayman and I'm sure there's other things they stole too.

Feels good to have that loose end tied up though

>>3860591
Wardner was simple but pretty good, IMO. It's one of those games you can just memorize and one-credit-clear with some practice, but still charming.

>>3854102
very good game!

>>3854102
It's become semi-popular as a "forgotten" NES classic, but I doubt many actually remember or even know that it was originally an arcade game

Really like how the game does jumping, kind of makes the player feel like golden age Superman (able to leap tall buildings in a single bound)

Also, Ninja Spirit

>>3859954
>The U.S version, Dark Adventure (which may had been the original version), has 3P co-op and a less linear design, but it's broken as hell. Your life gets drained much faster

Why the fuck did they do this? Is it spite? Shit, was it to make more money from quarters?

>>3862308
Cute lizard friend

been playing the ps4 version of this loads with friends in multiplayer, really fun game

>>3864787
I don't know, but Konami had a bad habit of bumping the difficulties of their arcade games for the foreign releases like they did Crime Fighters, Haunted Castle and Metamorphic Force. Even the JP revisions of X-Men and Simpsons were much easier than their overseas releases.

>>3862000
The world of South Korean and Chinese arcade games sure is the fascinating one.

>>3863854
Yeah, the jumping is awesome, especially with the trees (although the platforms are cool too).

I've been playing the PCE version of Ninja Spirit and enjoying it, I didn't realize it was an arcade game. I especially dig its powerup system. Gotta check the arcade game.

>>3864998
Neo Turf Masters all day, every day. I'd never really consider it a hidden gem though, it's one of the easiest to pick up video golf games ever. Super sweet game. All the Neo Geo Freaks know it, at least.

>>3843269
Reddit pi isn't powerful enough.
>>3860591
Great game.

>>3865402
They also did something like that with Castlevania 3 so it wasn't only arcade games that suffered from this.

>>3865402
they also had the tendency to completely gimp the games

see xexex for example

>>3866395
Yup, this may be controversial, but I vastly prefer the earlier, more varied era of Neo-Geo, before it became flooded with fighting games.
