- Real arcade hardware recorded using the Elgato Camlink 4K and the OSSC for best video capture (1080p60 FPS).
**UPDATE: as of October 2024, MAME is in the beginning stages of emulating this game!**
Had lots of fun trying to play this game. I am using my custom IR gun to play this game. I don’t have the original Namco arcade machine gun yet and this custom gun works remarkably well. I might start a small batch of reproduction guns or kits for anyone who is interested in a home setup or to replace failed arcade guns on original dedicated cabinets.
This game was released in two cabinet versions: The Deluxe cabinet(which uses a big projection tv with a RGB to NTSC S-Video converter and uses the Namco Rays JVS PCB) and the Standard cabinet ( which uses a regular CRT RGB monitor and uses the Namco JVS V221 MIU pcb - I’m using this set up).
Both cabinets use the same IR led in gun and CCD camera setups and since this game ISN’T A TRADITIONAL OPTICAL LIGHT GUN GAME, This game is playable on any modern flatscreen LCD or LED tv/ monitor.
Arcade system: Namco System Super 23 Evolution 2

Great video capture of this epic game. Yeah luckily with the way this game detects the gun all you need is something which projects an IR beam onto the screen. I also have this running on at home on a projector via a custom pedestal I created using the original hardware.
Thanks! I have seen your videos before and have always been amazed by your pedestal build. Your videos as well as Naoki’s Retro Corner’s videos have inspired me to at least get one of these pcbs. I was able to pick up a full set with most of the wiring and power supplies for insanely cheap ( no gun or camera). I’m using the V221 MIU I/O board that is normally found in the standard version of the game. I do have 2 rays pcbs that partially work and have tested the game with success. As for the gun, I don’t have the machine gun in my collection yet but I used a clone Namco arcade hand gun and put a IR transmitter inside. Lots of trail and errors but I did get it to work in the end. I do plan on making replacement IR pcbs and guns soon.
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade Haha small world as it was Naoki who I bought my Crisis Zone hardware from. Nice to hear you got it working using the standard I/O board as there are a lot more of those available. The user manuals seem to suggest that the guns are not interchangeable between the standard and deluxe cabinet - no idea why unless the lens for the IR beam is different because of the distance from the screen.
Certainly be interested in seeing more videos of your setup and how you make your custom guns. I managed to upgrade the shell of my gun to a NOS black shell which I was amazed to find in Australia.
@@chrisnightingale5529 I will make a video explaining how I was able to play this game without the real arcade gun. I did receive my Crisis Zone arcade gun and I found out something interesting: my custom gun is more accurate than the stock gun lol! I will also make a separate video showing how to build a custom gun with any gun shell. I want to be able to put the innards of my custom IR led sensor inside a child’s toy sub machine gun, it should be fun! Keep an eye out for those two video! :)
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade Look forward to it. As for a custom gun you could always considering using like an AEG Airsoft Gun as it would look realistic and might be able to mod it to simulate the recoil. Although I did also go down the toy route and made a light gun for playing the PS2 version (before I got the arcade hardware) using AimTrak innards and a toy MP5K which even had little vibration motors to simulate recoil - kinda worked ok although the AimTrak is a bit hit and miss I find.
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade Do you have any idea how to make namco arcade guns lcd screen compatible? i have a time crisis 2 deluxe, and it has a projection CRT. I also bought a crisis zone, and it works on crt screen too, without the detector camera. So I now have a 2 in 1 multi shooter. :)
What made this game fun is how every object reacts when you shoot it. Like bottles and papers flying around, cement falling from pillars. It felt real. Plus I remember the gun controller in arcades have vibrates making it more realistic when shooting.
Yeah it was like pure mayhem man😂👍
I used to love playing this game at a local restaurant’s arcade. What you said plus the idea of having the foot pedal to control a riot shield made this game top tier for me
God damn, dude... looking at footage of the original arcade version from 1999, it's crazy how good the environmental destruction and physics looked even way back then, as well as the details like the enemies recoiling and sometimes clutching their gut after being hit, the way their shields deform from your bullets hitting them, and the smoke trails coming out of enemy helicopters when they're low on health.
I remember seeing and playing the cabinet of this game at the arcade of my local AMC Theaters back in the day along with the now-defunct Aladdin's Castle in Torrance, CA. Even though I played it a good amount of times as a kid, I usually passed it up for The House of the Dead, which was in both the aforementioned arcades. Then once those cabinets disappeared I ended up getting the 2004 PS2 remake of this game and I played that version so many times that it was my go-to for playing this game. Stumbling upon this footage made me realize just how good it looked for the time and how much work they put into it- something which I never paid any mind to or truly appreciated as a kid... then again I also sucked at the game and we didn't have infinite quarters. XD
We had that game at the local mall when I was a kid, and I loved that game to death.
I think I finished it at least 15 times.
PS2 version always looked so weird to me.
Wish I could play the arcade version again...
The ps2 version is good but I like the classic version
I remember during my high school days in an almost empty mall it had this machine and the arcade running it only charge like 5-10 cents per token. I played the heck out of it after I got back from school early because it was final exam day and finished it in 1 sitting. Probably the only arcade game I finished LOL. Great memories.
I used to play this in arcade back in the day. I would use only 1 token to beat the whole game. Loved how it had the machine gun. So much fun!
For a 1999 game, this looks so smooth and perfect
I played the 2004 ver on ps2 and it still gives the same vibe
Namco System 23 graphics kicks ass the game consoles of fifth generation
@@Renzo-cn4zw Umm…Panasonic 3DO, Atari Jaguar, Sega Saturn, Sony PS1 and Nintendo 64 are the fifth generation consoles, Sony PS2 is the sixth generation.
@@Nestalgba92023 i think that was the point, although comparing 5th gen arcade hardware to 5th gen console hardware is unfair
Too bad some of Namco games weren't emulated.. this is one of the hidden gems.
There's a ps2 version
@@luis47 Some peeps do not like the remix graphics... and especially the remix music...especially at 22:22
@@luis47 And the Smokescreen when shooting your gun...
Dear God No.
There’s is now serious progress underway that may render this game playable soon. Time Crisis 2 already works in MAME. Very exciting!
Lots of environmental damage, locked 60fps... this game looks a lot better than most stuff on consoles today
That has to be the best end credits scene in video games. XD
this is crazy! we had the cabinet when i was a kid but my mom sold it when money was tight (2008 am i right?) my brothers and i would try to top each others score but it drove my mom crazy how loud it was! i saw the high scores and the nostalgia overwhelmed me :)
-D.R
I remember playing this 16 years ago... Wow. And this was one of the few arcade games I actually completed.
I love how interactive the backgrounds were, you could tear up a location in addition to tearing up the opposition. Would love to have one of these cabinets
I remember that deluxe cab was crazy, I want one so bad
Back in early 2000s, people passed on this at my local mall arcade. Literally no one played this except me. Didn't even know this game is unplayable to emulate; which surprises me from some people who mention it in the comments.
Thats crazy, people loved hogging this cabinet at my local arcades in the same time period.
Back then some places had thriving arcade cultures, while others just had the random passing kid come in dragging their mom with them.
This game and Dance Dance Revolution were very popular.
@@JuanMendoza-qd5lm nowadays in my arcades, there's no more time crisis or other arcade cabinets anymore, they only put fish gambling for senior adults to play and dump their whole savings to it
Easily one of the best light gun games. The machine gun feels powerful, which I can't say for today's machine gun games.
I know right, it takes like one whole clip to get rid of an enemy meanwhile this one can get rid of 2 or 3
@@Killakj101 how the enemies react is also a big part. They get knocked back, have different stages of damage, and really cool death animations
Glad someone managed to capture such clean footage of this version of the game. PS2 port is nicely done, but theres something about the original that's also a treat
Great video! The gun fire sound is better than PS2 version!
And voice actings, am I right?
@@Nestalgba92023 Derrick's voice in Arcade is way more unsettling (I mean really scary).
The music is also better IMO, I know the ps2 had it remixed which kills the feeling with some stages like Tiger and Eddy
@@gabrielsingal209 Huh? I thought they were the exact same
I thought the same thing, sounds and feels like shooting a MAC11.
That's a good thing.
More smooth and more detailed destruction then PS2 version. 👍
Had a lotta memories with this game, remember beating it a couple of times
I remember no everyone liked this one, but I find it pretty UNDERRATED, a bit on the short side, but UNDERRATED no less.
Why can't modern games capture the visceral, reactive feel of this one? Imagine having run-and-gun fights with destructible environments and enemy momentum like this with modern looks!
I remember being so happy finishing this game.
I haven't played this game since its release, i was pretty good at it too, i completed it quite a few times. Its nice to see it again. I cant believe how awesome the physics are, even by todays standards, they still hold up.
This version of time crisis needs to be released onto the emulators
How about original faithful (remastered) official releases instead? (With PS Move compatible)
Yeah, and it would be kind of nice to be able to play the actual arcade game to this at home (without owning the actual machine), along with Time Crisis 2 for that matter also. That being even if I'm still anxiously awaiting a long awaited console release for Time Crisis 5, which I'm sadly losing hope for as we speak. That due to with how long it's been since the game's arcade debut though.
@@freakyfornash I’m playing this game using only the arcade pcbs, no cabinet. It is still pretty daunting for someone who isn’t experienced in setting up arcade games though. At least the PlayStation 2 ports exist. As for Time Crisis 5, I’m also hoping for a home release, hopefully on the PlayStation 5 using VR. It would be awesome to play a Time Crisis game in VR! :)
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade I was hoping the fifth game would get a PS4 release (along with Dark Escape 4D), but to no avail though! Really wouldn't want to have to get a PS5 for those games either, if that's what they're somehow waiting for! XD
@@freakyfornash it could be a great launch title for the PSVR2 headset coming out in 2022, but at this point, they might as well reveal or release a new time crisis game lol!
the fact that the stf had to walk 5k of stairs after all that
holy shit, i remember playing this back in the day XD
still one of my favorite shooters 👌
There needs to be a Crisis Zone remastered for Xbox One!
That would be cool!
But the graphics is like this especially the music and the commander and the narrator
FINALLY
A direct capture
Not what I was expecting though
Man I remember playing this game when I was like 6 and falling in love wit it but my best memory was when I was 8 or 9 and I completed the game with 1 life while a older girl who was really cute and her bf watched me clear it
Man, the Tiger and Edge fight is much more hilarious in this version.
Geordie La Forge has certainly let himself go lol
Gotta to play this once on real arcade, my god was it a blast, especially with the feedback and everything.
My favourite of the Crisis Games. Never fail to play it every time I took a down time from lectures to go to the local arcade, so much so I recite entire levels by heart and finish it with 2 tokens.
So sad I'll probably would never get to play it again even if I have all the money in the world.. Shit. Damn dust getting in my eyes.
This is one of my favorites
If I were to be given an arcade machine to own this would be it. I miss playing this game.
Truly an underrated classic!
Just bought one of these machines today. Can't wait to get it hooked up and play!
You bought system 23?
Environment carnage is so freaking cool in this game.
I played this in the arcade every single chance i got, yet i still want more.
I miss this classic
STAGE 1 - Drycreek plaza
STAGE 2 - Garland park
LAST STAGE - Garland technology center
Wrong.
Stage 3 - Garland Technology Center
Final Stage - Geyser 1
That shield can withstand a nuclear missile 😅
The Graphic of player Clade Macgarren in Arcade and PS2 is Different
The bosses Edge and tiger voice are different.
22:13 The Bosses Edge and tiger words in Stage 3 are Different.
amazing game...cant wait for my sinden to play it on pcsx2:)
This is my favorite gun game in the arcade.so realistic.and i am working a machine gun throughout the whole game!
Hope will be emulated soon, this version looks a better that the PS2 version
Emulation's last boss
What is the challenge facing this? Is it emulating the system 23, or getting the input for the IR sensors emulated?
Emulating the Namco system super 23. Gun tracking should be relatively simple as the I/O is looking for the X and Y axis.
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade is there something specific to the (super)system 23? I thought it wasn't too different architecture wise from the standard 23
None of the system 23 (regular or super)games are fully playable yet. All of them except for stage one of time crisis 2 have errors. From what I heard, it has something to do with the custom Namco chips on the motherboard and what the ICs do. Best way to play them at the moment is by having the real thing or through the home console ports.
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade interesting. Thanks
The arcade graphics looks better than the PS2, i played the PS2 version last night in Aether SX2 (The official PS2 Emulator for android (Not DamonPS2)) and i just ended up in Garland Park after i died two times 😅
ルール不要の爽快感抜群ガンシューティング
Super your video thank you and this real Arcade version is much better than the PS3 version. Hopefully one day it will be playable with MAME
Wow, looking back at this like 18 years later....the physics were really good. But the story was so cheesy!
Great gameplay I think the arcade version is better than the ps2 version in my opinion. By the way did you use the Namco arcade gun or the Namco machine gun.
Thank you! I made a custom gun using a clone Namco arcade gun and put a IR emitter circuit that I put together. I don’t have the machine gun in my possession yet (I will soon). This is one of the few arcade games that you can play on any display. I’m using an LCD and it works! I am planning on making a limited amount or reproduction gun for anyone who is interested in buying or fixing a Crisis Zone arcade system.
Cool stuff man :)
I remember winning this game 40 times untill i can't do it anymore
I love that they implemented really good physics for the carpet, but they look like the carpet being hit with a water hose
That’s actually pretty funny to think about. You would imagine that the carpet would be torn to shreds by the bullets but no. Instead it’s indestructible lol!
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade those physics would've worked better for a time crisis game pre weapon switch, because you could make the excuse that the bullet holes are small and few enough to not have to render but the machine gun should be cutting it in half.
I wonder what the state of dynamic bullet holes that were actually holes and not just a texture was at the time.
haha that guy lol 2:56
Sounds like Robert Baxter's action
Lmao that ending 😂
Crisis zone GAME OVER
When you lose all of the allotted life points, the game is over.
Got so good at this game for a time in the arcades that I would 1CC it. I came close to no hit runs, but I'd always get hit at least once.
I recently played the PS2 version of this game, so it's interesting to see the differences between versions. While the PS2 version does have better graphics on a technical level, it's a lot darker and "muddier" than the arcade visuals shown here.
Yep, I did make a comparison video of the two games. I do like the PlayStation 2 version but the fog effect is what kills the charm unfortunately. I do like the more colorful environments of the arcade version.
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade namco make many grathical update ports like soul calibur, time criss 2 , tekken tag , crisis zone
@@RECHOOSENONE exactly. They loved making enhanced ports for the PS2 versions.
Excuse Me, did you capture this playing in the arcade cabinet as it is? Or are you playing with a special method by projecting images on the display?
I’m recording the actual arcade hardware in real time. I don’t have any arcade cabinets, just the parts. I had to make a custom gun in order to play because the real one are expensive. I will have my custom guns for sale.
I forgot how great the environmental destruction was in this game.
awesome
Its finally time. In MAME 0.271, this game will finally be emulated.
It's emulated but not fully the game runs at slideshow speeds atm.
@@cheslinfulplus there are issues with the inputs. My 13th gen i9 plays between 60-70% speed
What kind of shield can protect you from missiles? I want to get one.
Probably one made of Adamantium, or that it was forged with the sweat of Chuck Norris.
4:57 my favorite damage sound
Going from this to the PS2 version is a little sad. For some reason they thought they had to make everything look all drab and gritty.
Dang you barely made it...fun times though my bro is an expert at this
You know, you could have recorded yourself playing too.
I would love to see the guns in action.
Bro the stf guys look like the enemy's soldiers from both Tc2 and Tc3

In the arcade version they are all in helmets, in ps2 version the squad leader McGaretth is the only that has no helmet, but has a different armor compared to the rest
Fact that McGarren's Helmet Visor color in arcade version is brownish red
@@BimaBima-mz3hb yes
Croad Macglain
What a name lol
Of course, this was a rough translation of Claude McGarren
There's gotta' be a way that the original arcade version can be emulated. There just HAS to be. I can't stand the PS2 version. They replaced the charmingly cheesy voice acting with phoned in performances, sped up and distorted the original music to where it sounds godawful, barely followed the original routes, and changed up the enemies movements so that we barely see any of their cool tactics and reactions to getting hit. The only good thing about the PS2 "port" was the extra scenario.
The Namco custom chips and the way they operate on each board is the issue on why emulation isn’t possible for these systems yet.
I remember playing this on the arcade and whats sucks is that the arcade manager only gave us 4 health which makes the game a coin muncher
That is one reinforced riot shield.
Classic game.
Man！Did you play this game on PC?
No, this is the real arcade hardware. This game can not be emulated. None of the Namco System 23 games are fully playable on PC.
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade Cool！But how to record your gameplay on this real arcade hardware？Did you make the hardware by yourself？
I would say to read the description but I’m in the process of making a video. None of my arcade videos use emulation, all real hardware.
I always preferred the art style of the arcade version over the PS2 version. I don't like the gear that they made the characters wear in the PS2 version, it looked way too fantasy like instead of more tactical. The PS2 version did have better graphics, but I think overall I'd prefer to play the Arcade version just because of this
I think it was airport😅
My old game
I never seen anything like these video capture before.
By the way you did set difficulty to very easy? Timer is longer than 35 sec.
I did set the difficulty down so I can finish quickly. I have some ideas for another video project using this video and I didn’t want to lose all the time. I have some more arcade gameplays using real hardware videos on my channel if you would like to see some more, feel free to subscribe if you can :)
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade
I thought so. But this is really Very easy difficulty set? The lowest difficulty?
@@billrob9305 it’s down to just “easy”. I didn’t turn it all the way to very easy
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade Easy? things are getting complicated.
I sought some video time limit was 40 secs. And since this is 50 sec so i thought this was very easy but not...
Well... can you help me to find out what difficult different is?
Very simple. All you need to do is just change the difficulty and find out how much time limit left is. It does not taking much time.
I want to do it myself but unfortunately there is no data about difficulty about arcade version.
I’m not really understanding what you’re saying? Would you like to setup one of these arcade systems yourself or what?
The white screen flashes are annoying in the PS2 version
Yeah, the only way to play the game (on real hardware) without the white smoke effect is to play using the controller. Kind of a missed opportunity for Namco and Sony to release an official IR sensor type gun for this game and others in my opinion. I really like the gorgeous graphics on the PlayStation 2 version but the smoke effect kills the charm.
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade Update, I saw on one of your videos that the PS2 version of crisis zone has a setting that can reduce this. But honestly, it would've been better if you could turn it off completely as those white flashes aren't good for long gameplay durations and may cause seizures. I love Namco as a company but in their console ports; they sometimes make incredibly stupid decisions.
I did reduce the flashes in the menu btw. It looked very foggy the first time I tried to record and play it.
@@FIGHTERSCHOICEArcade it actually looks very nice here in this video.
@@kvin9210 thank you! I’m surprised that it looks somewhat decent. The arcade version was much better to play though. I will do a video on how to properly set up the arcade hardware for home use. Surprisingly, the arcade hardware is cheap at the moment and I might have a spare to sell.

So the ps2 version is a remake? I remember going to gamestop with my father back then to buy a game and found this one for 5 bucks
Yep, the PlayStation 2 version is a total remake as a bunch of stuff was redone (especially the graphics). Interestingly enough, I never saw any light gun games for sale when I was younger. I have also never been to an actual arcade. The only arcade machine I have ever seen in person was in a pizza place and they had Area 51 site 4. Looks and played amazing! That game is also not emulated properly and I do happen to have a dead board. Hopefully I can fix it and show it in 4K :)
