But the tiger looks strangely small, so it's a big guy with the ability to turn into a tiny tiger , or a normal guy riding a big guy, in a land of very big guys.
From what I remember Inhumanoids was pushed pretty hard on kids back in the late 1980s, honestly almost as much as like Transformers or GI Joe for as long as Inhumanoids lasted.
Lol the rolling barrels still somehow decapitating the enemies made me laugh harder than it should have. This game is like a Cannon movie in beat-em-up form.
One of the sort of freakiest things too in a way is that after you see what happens to the guy and the lady in the attract mode, they just casually matter of factly show the "Tecmo Bunny" mascot leaning against the high scores as if nothing totally insane had just been shown to you. Like, "Hi, kids...(chews on carrot) wasn't that human chomping and swording just wild or what?"
I want to thank you for playing some of these obscure beat em ups on here it has encouraged me to find some of these for my completely legitimate hardware at home.
If I had a nickel for every time Tecmo put a nightmare-inducing continue screen in their arcade games during the late 1980s (Wildfang and Ninja Gaiden), I'd have, like, two nickels... ... which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
I remember this weirdly gross game! I beat it by alternating between player 1 and 2, which allowed me to bypass the continue screen because I always had an active character in play. So then I was just able to power through. Good job beating it the legit way!
YOOOO!! Thank you so much for finding this and playing it! This game was at a local arcade and I couldn't remember what it was called and every time I tried to describe it to someone they would look at me like I cooked it up in some fever dream.
Not a beat'em up, but an obscure arcade game I would recommend is Dead Connection. It's a shooter by Taito and its intro is amazing. The game itself is mindless carnage with some of the most destructable environments outside of a Red Faction game. Check it out if you want something a little more spicy than a beat'em up.
It's like group project where everyone went off and did their own thing. The level designer did some generic medieval fantasy world. The music designer just totally phoned it in, completely uninspired. But the character designer, he just went off and made the most insanely metal sprites he possibly could! Then they all came together and we have this, Tonal Dissonance the Video Game!
what a bloody and violent game even the intro screen and countdown is bloody.. my god the blood man... this game makes mortal kombat look like a playground
When collecting the special dragon skull that randomly appears after defeating an enemy, the Tecmo Knight will summon the most powerful creature to ride on in the game: the Flying Dragon. Tecmo Knight is immune to attack while riding Flying Dragon, whose breath kills any monster in the game instantly, including the stage-end bosses.
Have you ever played Cannon Dancer/Osman? Its Strider if he kung fu kicked cyberpunk baddies in the middle east. I think its made by some of the original Strider dev team.
Matt referencing the Inhumanoids is so 100% on brand for him. Speaking of Inhumanoids, I suggest he do a Wha Happun on the whole Hasbro Shared Universe. Cause there is ALOT of behind the scenes kaffufles with IDWs attempt at making on (including unplanned uses of the eponymous Inhumanoids and My Little Pony)
This is Tecmo Knight, i knew it looked familiar. it is funny that he has never played thru a MAME catalog, how is that possible after 80 years of being a gamer youtube goon XD
An Inhumanoids game? Maybe, but thinking about them in a modern setting makes me think it's the type of property that would have had a kickstarter board game by now.
Just the first 40sec of this vid proves this game deserves a remake! Did you see the way dude got his head ripped off?! Just straight *"ssshhrrrriiikk!"* 😂 And then the girl getting the sword just jammed in her face like an angry kid destroying a Barbie doll? 😂 But they shadowed it out and that was all the cool stuff...
Is he a normal sized human riding on different mounts while he fights giant monsters? It seems a reasonable explaination for the size of your character. The scale feels off, as though it's a tiny man riding these things. That would not be much fun to role play.
I get the impression you're the villain in this game. I mean, look at the proportions of the elements in the background, clearly he's in giant land how huge everything is, and apparently they're in bad times how everything is in ruins and suddendly this tiny asshole comes up and starts mass murdering everyone. Heck even the map screen makes it seem like you're burning their kingdom to ashes
The Arcade Archive title has the weird name "Tecmo Knight". I have it and many other Arcade Archive title on my wish list. One thing I don't like from the Arcade Archive games is the sometime annoying online stuff in your face. Some games always ask you to upload your highscore after a game over and every game have this strange Caravane mode, where you only get 3 minutes to set a highscore. But overall is it for me a good way to experienced those game on a legal way. I could never play those game back in the days, because there were here found only in casinos and you have to be at least 18 to get in. It is sometime crazy to me that at the times of 8 bit system NES, you had those crazy looking and sounding games hidden in arcades. If I heard arcade back then only Pac-Man and Space Invaders came into my mind. 😁
knowing the houses are big guy-sized means it isn't a human riding a big man, it's a tiny man riding a normal human to combat
But the tiger looks strangely small, so it's a big guy with the ability to turn into a tiny tiger , or a normal guy riding a big guy, in a land of very big guys.
@@emperormegaman3856 Just what i was thinking about
Matt's deep knowledge of weirdass 80's/90's cartoons never ceases to amaze.
From what I remember Inhumanoids was pushed pretty hard on kids back in the late 1980s, honestly almost as much as like Transformers or GI Joe for as long as Inhumanoids lasted.
3:01 playing Rampage from the perspective of a building’s resident
Lol the rolling barrels still somehow decapitating the enemies made me laugh harder than it should have. This game is like a Cannon movie in beat-em-up form.
Damn this is pretty gory for a beat em up. and from 1989 too? wtf, how've I never heard about this one?
I know I never heared of it because I being born at the time.
I saw it once in the wild at a campground near tge olympic park in Calgary.

Inhumanoids was an 80's metal album cover in motion
Gargoyle thingys with chained feet, a skull flail and a hook hand is just peak enemy design.

That's the first time I've heard anyone mention Inhumanoids in decades, and now my back hurts.
12:50 Yo! That Gamera dude just gave you the "finger"...rude as hell!

You should play Ninja Baseball Bat Man, a weird and charming beat em up that's _aggressively_ baseball themed
what a bloody and violent game even the intro screen and countdown is bloody.. my god the blood man... this game makes mortal kombat look like a playground
I love this game! It's so gloriously insane and violent. You can tell a lot of -drugs- love went into it.

Tecmo Knight is immune to attack while riding Flying Dragon, whose breath kills any monster in the game instantly, including the stage-end bosses.
The Middle-aged Mutant Ex-wrestler Turtles are really disturbing.
I played it as Tecmo Knight in my hometown. Absolutely love this game!
0:57 It's "The Guy" playing a guy riding another guy!
If this seems familiar to anyone its only called wild fang in japan. The US version is called tecmo knight.
Another banger!
When can we expect you to tackle racing games with life bars? Like Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero?
❤
Have you ever played Cannon Dancer/Osman? Its Strider if he kung fu kicked cyberpunk baddies in the middle east. I think its made by some of the original Strider dev team.
Dragon breath "Decimates"? It straight up Annihilates them! Instead of just removing 1/10 of them.

I remember this game! it was one of the first I played in the states, must've been in the late 80s or early 90s, on an arcade place in Tucson
i had a god darn Inhumanoids coloring book with D'compose on the cover. probably why i like a lot of the stuff i do now!
This is Tecmo Knight, i knew it looked familiar. it is funny that he has never played thru a MAME catalog, how is that possible after 80 years of being a gamer youtube goon XD
Acording to Wikipedia, the giant man you ride is called Smokeman. lol
I love your beat em up content. There are so many I've never even heard of
I love these kind of games! Yes, more please!
3:00 Isn't Grodd regular-gorilla-size, though? His thing is that he's psychic, I thought.
Love these old school beat 'em ups.
So good!
I've played Tecmo Knight a few times, and not once have I come unmounted. How the hell did you do that?!
I remember seeing this in the Arcade it was really gory for its time.
I'm old enough to remember this game it was the coolest thing when i was kid and it took me so long to track it down in my adult life
Great one I've never heard of before, thanks for sharing, more like this would be great
This is metal as fuck. I would definitely have played this back in the days.
I ran into a playthrough of this thing a while back and immediately thought you your channel. I'm glad it ended up here, it's so off-the-rails weird.
This is exactly the kind of game that inspired the Deathman arcade game in No More Heroes 3.
Humionds song 😂 got me rolling
Wasn't this also released as Tecmo Knight as well? Or am I thinking of something else?
Yes according to the place I downloaded it from.
I mean on my legit owned hardware.
Yes. I first learned about it under that name.
The alliteration alone was enough to make me watch!
Now let's get some onomatopoeia up in here!!
Decompose, De-com-posseeee ! I had the toy creepy shit that glowing in the dark was too much for me.
That would be a good combo for a beat'em up game,
Altered beast, and Golden Axe with dash of SplatterHouse.
another great beat em' up.
This is amazing 😮 how have I never heard of this? My life up until this point has been a sham
Played this game not too long ago. It rocks and of course big gorilla is always appreciated.
Hey Matt. The next beat 'em up you should give a try is the original Spikeout. I played it in Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth and thought it was fun.
Theses graphics and designs are on a different level. Not necessarily a higher level, but different...
Ironically, I just watched a longplay of this game earlier today
I love beat um ups but never heard of this one
Spinning and winning on that tiger!
Not enough games have tiger riding/driving
*Nathan Explosion voice:* That intro is brutal.
What a wild game.
An Inhumanoids game? Maybe, but thinking about them in a modern setting makes me think it's the type of property that would have had a kickstarter board game by now.

I love this type of game. Im glad developers are still making them. 3d is cool but these types of games cant die. Way to much fun😅
Some real Crude Buster vibes here.
Twenty five minutes, and not a single Dio reference? Impressive.
Master Blaster must defend Bartertown!
Those turtle men and the gorilla's little baby hands are truly awful lol
The intro scared me as a kid
damn G.R.O.W.L. got weird
I'm always interested in an obscure old game, arcade or otherwise. 👍
The character kind of looks like Snow White, like she charmed a tiger with song and started going to town with a mace.
Fucking fever dream......
Sounds like you mashed up rapid and propitious to make rapitious.
I never saw the cartoon back then, but I did see Inhumanoids toys at Toys'R'us. Asked for one as they looked cool but Mom gave an emphatic NO.
I love this..... But when tekken part 2?
Tomorrow!
I wish he'd play Kingdom under fire the crusaders
The title of this game sounds like a music theme.
Why does this game feel like it'd fit in the mortal kombat canon
I get the impression you're the villain in this game. I mean, look at the proportions of the elements in the background, clearly he's in giant land how huge everything is, and apparently they're in bad times how everything is in ruins and suddendly this tiny asshole comes up and starts mass murdering everyone.

The game is kinda awesome! I'd lost my shit if I had a chance to play it as a kid
Mission 1:Prove who rules BarterTown
Good ol' Tecmo Knight. Pretty forgettable outside the gore and the continue/game over screens. NO FUTURE!
Shame you didn't lose on purpose, the Game Over screen is great (NO FUTURE!)
ALL DECAPITATIONS ALL THE TIME
What a silly and strange game.
First
Have you done the Hook (robin williams) arcade game?
