Upvoted for the narrator’s Scots burr.

I fed so many coins to the arcade machine for this in the late 80s.

Try Dragon Spirit

Everyone has something better to do than play Truxton: games that rely on memorization to this extent... TRUST ME. I've got better things to memorize. :-/

Objectively, Zero Wing is a better game (on the Genesis / Mega Drive)... but Truxton is the one that has become iconic... perhaps primarily thanks to that level 1 music, made so intense by a coding error on the Sega version that sped it up.

This wasnt a game i grew up playing. It kinda seemed like a lame rip off of Golden Axe. But years later i think its a cool game.

Why are you cheating

totaly agree with your reasoning on your Neo Geo Collection. i'm the same way with the 64 & PSX. i don't care to collect every game ever released. just the stuff that i loved from back then & unfortunately either sold or traded at some point. Awesome Video btw. the sentiment about 2nd Squad is definitely relatable as i've always like it a little bit more than the original.

Shock Troopers 2nd Squad parodies how Trump deals with world events and loved the Stormy Daniels quip, lol :-) Keep up the awesome work!

The original (ST1) was just SO WELL ILLUSTRATED... probably the gameplay in ST2 is better, but ST1 is just so much better looking! You can call me shallow, but its hard to choose the ugly sister.

I first played this as a kid and I just now noticed he's not carrying that POW properly.

I love this game so much me and my frinds would play for hours i remeber it was such a big cabinet 25 cints a game

I'd actually say that Silpheed (Mega CD) had better results, with the same sort of "methodology" of using pre-rendered 3D elements.

I genuinely think _Blazing Star_ is a mediocre (or worse-than-mediocre) game -and I am a fan of the genre. I have played it two player with a girlfriend: it just felt like drudgery -it felt like a job we weren't being paid to do!

Great game! Definitely "rockin' it up to eleven!". Still play occasionally on my NeoGeo Mini with the Arcade Stick Pro controller. Incidently, it's currently on sale on GOG for under a couple of quid :-) Keep up the awesome work!

Think I paid 3.50 for 1942 on C64. Great game💪

W outro 13:35

commenting for the algorithm. thanks for the retrospective.

Metal Slug is definitely a classic and can be played on virtually any console nowadays but I still have great fondness for Green Beret aka Rush 'N Attack on my old ZX Spectrum and the Mega Drive's Gunstar Heroes :-) Keep up the awesome work!

I never made that transition to the 3D era... @6:40 and it's difficult to estimate how many more hours I had for girlfriends, learning languages, reading and writing, as a result of my disinterest in the 32-bit era of video games. Whether it's luck or virtue, I feel lucky: the subsequent generations just take up too many hours in almost every genre.

I never met anyone who even considered the option of buying Neo Geo games as cartridges "back in the day"; the few people I met who bought Neo Geo games on disc (CD) were all Asians living in Asia -or flying back and forth to Toronto from East Asia.

Do you know if the true ending is displayed after finishing the game 4 times in a row? This is based on the NES manual (which I presume was replicated from the Arcade). Regards.

Up to ~100 titles in my Neo Geo collection now, and Viewpoint is definitely one I don't regret having.

I love the Master System port of Shinobi, and surprisingly the ZX Spectrum port really does try its best 😉

We all have so many "Why didn't I buy that" moments and probably worse, "Why did I give that away" moments back in the day. The Neo Geo is a system I've never played, probably because it was so damn pricy back in the day. I'm looking forward to seeing more of these 😎👍

This was one of my Dad's faves at the arcade, Games People Play! ...it's also the only game he bought for himself to play on my NES lol Cool retrospective, tyvm 👍🐺👍

I've played loads of NeoGeo games but this one seems to have passed me by. Looks a great game and worth £35 of anyone's money back in the day ;-) Keep up the awesome work!

When I was a teenager for a number of years I thought the Genesis version was an original exclusive game not knowing until the early 2000s that it was based on a Neo Geo Arcade version. I immediately had to get and fire it up for Mame which still blows my mind with how quality they put into it's presentation and music. But I'd have to disagree on one thing and it's no slight against you at all but I don't think every single thing in the game is hand-drawn. Sure, the backgrounds, jets of the ship, water effects, fire effects, and sparks from your shots hitting things were all hand drawn, but to me the ship itself, the enemies, the bosses, the animated elements like flipping tiles, rolling slinkys and gears that has to be from an early 3D animation program. I find it hard to believe that a video game developer doing low resolution pixel art could perfectly pull off all that symmetry, lighting and shading so perfectly without the aid of something like that. I compare it to the art style that was found in a game like Sonic 3 or Vectorman where it's a mix 'n match of hand-drawn sprite art and 3D. But none the less it's a gorgeous game but brutally difficult to the point of absurdity kind of like R-Type II for me. I can't get past the 2nd level with the water lol. 😎

The two player simultaneous mode is hard to find -both on the Neo Geo MVS and AES. Today, you can romhack the cart to enable it. I assume the co-op mode was cancelled at the last minute because it made the game too easy, credit for credit, quarter for quarter.

I always wanted a neo Geo as a kid my rich friend had one

I was 10 years old when this came out. I've actually just picked up the SEGA Master System version from CEX. I'm collecting SEGA light phaser games. I owned it back in the day. Just re collecting my memories.

Loved this and its predecessor operation thunderbolt . I remember it in our local arcade always being used and at times hard to get on. Both games for that matter. There was this Asian lad who kicked ass on it. What a player had he kicked serious ass on double dragon 2 . One of them guys that’s good at everything who you admire and dislike at the same time through jealousy 😂😂😂

I swear as a kid there was an operation wolf cartoon and there was an episode with GI Joe, but it doesn't exist lol. Wtf

Awesome game!!

I play the hill out of that game on the Commodore 64

My first contact with OW was on Amiga500. It was a blast for me, a miracle, but recently i tried it again on my brand "new" A500. Boy, i need to put away those retro googles. It really aged poorly. :)

If I remember right there was a sequel operation thunderbolt with 2 micro Uzi on arcade machine

I begged my parents to play this every time we went to the Safeway in graham Washington!

Had a chance to buy the arcade machine years ago for only $500. I really wish we could get 1up with this, crossbow, etc. Love this game.

you expected an pretty accurate port of OW for the Spectrum? Well, you were the only one None of the millions of Sega Master System owners expected that. You see the Sega Master System is pretty weak compared to the arcade hardware used for ow. If you look at all of the arcade ports on the Master System or any system of that era for that matter you will see a pattern in that the ports were watered down version of the arcade game.

I never realised how jacked Marion is - check out the size of her guns when she goes in for a kiss!

I still cant get past those blooming worms on the second screen!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

the sad thing is. yeah with mame you can complete it. But I kinda want to go back to those arcade days and complete it with the original hardware. I only got to have this kinda experaince once it was house of the dead and at Glasgow Uni some one had forgot to lock the coin collect hatch. In retro spec? yeah I could have stole the murdercash. But the idea was never even a concept to me. Winning on the cludo quiz machine ...ok. Stealing! naw. BUT puting your hand in and passing £1 coins thru the mechanism and giving yerself 99 credits? acceptable!!!!!!!!!! The drunken feeling of dual wielding shall always be a memmory and its been over 25 years.

This was awesome on the Amiga with two mouse. I dont think that is possible still on PC

Reminds me of Rambo for Sega master system

0:49 we must have been about the same age. Luckily, when this game came out, our local skating rink got one of these games and wearing roller skates gave me just enough boost to reach the gun and play.

I just found your chanel I love it the game play is fun to watch and I love the games

I picked this cabinet up on offer up for free. It was in horrible condition and missing too much original equipment. I turned it into a mame cab for 950 bucks with over 10k games.

you mention serial liars remind me of someone at school who told everyone his dad was in the army and he got shot during the war and the bullet went in the chest and bounced off of one of his ribs.
