If you watch my channel whatsoever you will know some things about my retro gaming tastes; I love arcade beat em ups and I love obscure retro games...so put those two things together and...well you get one of Data East's more charming arcade games...Captain America and the Avengers! It wasn't just Capcom making awesome Marvel video games back in the day or Sega making Spider Man video games...Data East got in on the superhero video game action too!
Luckily this runs on MAME via MAME emulation so it can be enhoyed by all and if you need a MAME tutorial I have one on my channel....just check the emulation night school playlist!
But its definitely an arcade hidden gem of jank as good luck finding it these days!

For a moment I thought this video was about the unreleased prototype "Out of the Vortex" that was just added to HP.
Nope but that’s on my list for work today
I remember getting this as a kid on the snes after playing it in the arcade and feeling something was “off”.
Got the pcb during the pandemic and it’s been a fun stroll through memory lane.
Games like this and Congo’s Caper make me miss Data East.
Data East could make some great games for sure
So “Taco” was an English mistranslation of “tako” which is the Japanese word for “squid” lol. Pretty funny 😄
I had the Genesis port of this game as a kid and was obsessed with it! Didn’t play the arcade original until years later and I had the muscle memory to play it pretty well, since the Genesis port is gameplay-wise very faithful to the arcade.
Thanks again for your nostalgic content!
I prefer just to think it’s tacos
"tako" (蛸) is octopus which is more commonly written in the katakana syllabary denoting foreign words so a localizer would be very confused if not a native bilingual; squid is "ika"
This one is certainly an underrated game, that's for sure
And that red skull laugh is great
Clearly I agree haha
I used to love playing this and Bad Dudes.
Couple of classics for sure
I used to play this game with a friend on his mega drive. I thought it was quite janky but we still had some good co-op fun.
Jank can be fun!
Absolutely loved this one as a kid. 8 year old me pumped a silly amount of quarters into that cab. Even enjoyed the console versions. Good times.
It’s a classic and worth another replay
I played this at the arcade, although I forgot where. The flying stages and the sentinel boss blew my mind back in the day.
They are some fun stages
I used to 1-credit this by myself
I love this one so much, faults and all.
Impressive :)
Not a great game, but a fun one, and I have a ton of fuzzy and warm memories of my dad and I cranking countless quarters into this game at our local arcade. We would go watch a movie every weekend, and then we would go and "beat a game" at the arcade. This game was frequently included in the rotation. Thanks for covering this one!
It’s a solid B tier effort. But tons of fun
My local batting cages had this game. LoL, I still remember the first level's music track
Sounds like a fun place
Nowadays it's more rare to find the 4-player Avengers cab than it is to find the 6-player X-Men cab.
Def didn’t do as well in arcades
They have one at funspot, I tried to play it during my last two visits, but it's been beoken.
I loved playing this game on SNES as a kid
Lot of good memories of this one in the comments today
I CAN’T MOVE!!
😂
Data east had some bangers wish we more fpga cores for them. Would love this randy and boogie wings.
Edward Randy needs a core
@@VideoGameEsoterica do you see any reasons why these games would not happen on mister
I’d have to look into it
This is one I definitely have on the list to get going on my steamdeck. ...as always, love your content and keep doing what you do!
Plenty more coming :)
I credit feeded through this with my brother Olof at a convention this spring. And NO WAY we would one credit it!
We found the bosses to be rather spongy, their last health took ages to wear down. We had trouble not being hit by various ranged attacks too. Perhaps we played it wrong, but we found it very shallow. Either hit baddies with the same attack over and over, or throw stuff at them? Some jump attack too.
The corny cut scenes were the only saving grace for us, tedium set in while wading through the hordes.
Yes the bosses feel designed to steal a few more quarters than the rest of the game
Reminds me a lot of Taito's Superman in a lotta respects.
I haven’t played that one in FOREVER
Bit of hardware trivia, the CPU on this board is a 32 bit ARM processor.
Not what you’d expect
Mech taco should be a new thing on the Taco Bell menu. I never actually played this beat em up but I’ve always thought it looks cool. Hopefully they complete the Saturn port
🤣
Yeah I have this PCB, with a weird bug that doesn't display the names of the bosses you face. Really strange. I love the painterly backgrounds.
Odd random and very specific bug
Damn, this looks neat! I’m all in on my CRT at the moment. Got a recalbox rgb dual on order, this might be one of the first I load up on there once it’s working.
Def give it a shot
definitely one of my favorite arcade superhero games! (outside of the stuff like konami's x-men or capcom's marvel stuff) I think my favorite part of the game is fighting the bosses, and the way the music changes up once they get down to that last sliver of health, if that doesn't get you pumped to finish the fight, I don't know what will!! shame it never got ported either in the johnny turbo line (since he had all the data east stuff for a while) or some other way (at least outside of arcade 1up, not everyone has A1up money!) with the rise in popularity of the MCU!
Konami and Capcom led the genre but Data East def had some good ones
I saw you try to attack those civilians at the beginning!
They were in my way
Would...would you do the same to me if I was in your way!?
@METR0lD in a heartbeat. Especially if you got in the way of my cheese
Yeah, I get it. Wisconsin cheese really is that good.
@METR0lD nice try
I have this JAMMA board some place. I really need to find it and sell it. 😊
Haha def should if you aren’t playing it
I wish this was on MiSTer.
Maybe one day
Great game by Data East VGE, Too bad it doesn't get the attention really deserves.
Anthony..
Haha even still. Bad views today
YOU WILL BE THE ONE ESCAPING!
😂
I had this on the Megadrive but never liked it.
Give the arcade version a shot
I loved Gen version but I was a kid and enjoyed mindless beat em ups so 🤷 😂
@@pakasack I was thoroughly spoiled by Streets of Rage 2, I guess. No side scrolling beat 'em up felt the same.
@jimmelton5846 I mean that’s a classic
Can this be ported to saturn like this other Marvel Arcade game ? The SNES version is bad ....
Anything is possible
