Nah, they stopped producing them as much after early 2005 due to the decline of Arcade-esque products in Japan, they even had Arcade personnel relocated to other positions or just straight up left without jobs....
@@CopiousDoinksLLC I noticed that but it is rather OK since during gameplay you do not see yourself. Maybe they just said to themselves well, we will focuse on the marine biology and sacrifice the looks of the humans
For those of you unfamiliar with mythology, let me break it down. Kraken: Norse monster; a giant octopus or squid said to drag ships underwater with its numerous tentacles Hydra: Greek monster; a creature with many heads on long necks, was killed by Heracles during his 12 labors Leviathan: Hebrew monster; a fish-like creature described in great detail in the Old Testament as nearly invincible Naga: Hindu monster; a specific class of divine being that took the form of a great snake Scylla and Charybdis: Greek monsters; occupied either side of the Strait of Messina; Scylla would always eat six crew members of each ship that passed by her side; Charybdis would create whirlpools strong enough to drag ships underwater if they veered too close Ahuizotl: Aztec monster; a dog-like hunter that would drag its prey underwater with its hand-tipped tail Medusa: Greek monster; a gorgon who could turn people who looked at her to stone Karkinos: Greek monster; a crab that was sent by Hera to distract Heracles while he was fighting the hydra Midgardsorm: Norse monster; a giant serpent that encircled the Earth with its body and gripped its own tail Cerberus: Greek monster; a three-headed dog charged with guarding the entrance to the Underworld Umi-Bozu: Japanese monster; a vaguely humanoid creature that would capsize the ships of any who tried to speak to it Vritra: Hindu monster; the personification of drought and a major adversary of Indra Kaliya: Hindu monster; a poisonous naga who lived in the Yamuna River and faced Krishna Dagon: Mesopotamian god of fertility, and then grain and fish and/or fishing Poseidon: Greek god of the sea and earthquakes Rahab: major sea demon in Medieval Jewish folklore

Funny yet intimidating that a lot of the monstrous sea creatures (Boss & Mini-boss) are named after Mythology monsters. (Ex. Hydra - a bunch of Giant Eels Medusa - Giant Jellyfish)
When I was a little kid I remember seeing this at an arcade while in an after school program that took us to places like a movie theater and arcades. I always saw the older kids playing this no matter what and I never did get a chance to play it myself, but through watching them play it, I always remembered how the game looked, but I hadn't the slightest idea what the game was called since I really only paid attention to the gameplay, after a long search one day, it lead me to finding this video and lo and behold, this is the game I watched the older kids play and subsequently fail at the first stage before even getting to the Kraken. If it wasn't for me watching the older kids play this game, I don't think i would've ever found out about any of this
Has anyone took notice that each of the 7 sea monsters represent each of the 7 deadly sins: (EDIT: Had to rearrange the bosses’ sins.) Kraken: Sloth (He isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Yet he still managed to be a menace.) Leviathan: Pride (He’s “a Big Fish in a small pond.” And we all know better….) Charybdis: Lust (She likes playing with her food with her lantern.) Ahuizotl: Envy (Hates human settlements around his territory.) Karkinos: Greed (He has been killing more whales than just humans.) Midgardsorm: Gluttony (Well, just look at him.) Rahab: Wrath (Hates humans for disturbing the “Flow of Silence.”)
It's not the first time they ever did that, another arcade rail shooter franchise by Sega, The House of The Dead; had a similar representation with their stage bosses.
One of my favorite memories is beating this game at the arcade with my dad. I was really young, and we had mountains of quarters right by us just in case we died. We tried over and over, but one day we committed to winning it and it was so cool. Watching this is nostalgic
Same, me and my dad played it when we were on vacation in Italy and always used only a few coins to play, then on the last nighr we thought Why not spend the leftover coins we had to finally beat the whole game and it just kept going. amazing experience
Same. This was in an arcade on a boardwalk at a beach we visited once a summer so this would be our yearly tradition. They only just got rid of the game about 4 years ago, it stood for a while
i also played this game with my dad who was blind but he was pretty good hahahah i love him very much now we have difficult relationships but this video made me cry a little bit and i just remembered him and called him to say hello
Bosses in a nutshell: Mid-boss 1A: Jaws theme intensifies Mid-boss 1B: Not your ordinary iguana Mid-boss 1C: Big Snek (not Big Shaq) Boss 1: Release the Kraken!!!

Holy shit, RUclips recommendation has done it again. I played this somewhere years ago and could never remember the name of the game, then by chance I found this video, and now I can see this game again
Gaming With Green and if they do that they should add new bosses and places. You need to tell your friends that spam Sega on twitter saying you should make ocean hunter remastered or ocean hunter 2
Not to mention more story. I think it would've been keen if they went into more detail on the destruction and terror caused by the Seven Great Monsters.
This game was a nightmare fuel for me when I was little. I thought it was an exploration game bc i like sea creature until I watched my dad and brother played it and those bosses appeared 😂😭 it's too bad that i didn't have the chance to try it many years later, but it is nice to see its legacy being remembered online.
Yeah, especially if you got to play the theater version of it, which made you truly feel like you were "inside" the game for that matter too! Same was also the case with the The Lost World: Jurassic Park, along with the second House of the Dead for that matter also!
Neither did I. But I almost did once! And sadly, the Cabinet they had of This at the Magic Mountain close to My Place is no longer there. One of two Cabinets there I ever really got in to. I actually never knew until just now how rare It was outside of Japan (And apparently Singapore) I actually didn't know that it was made in Japan either. The other one that I was really in to was a Star Wars Cabinet with 4 Levels: Battle of Yavin, Battle of Hoth, Ground Battle of Endor and Space Battle of Endor. I did manage to win a couple of times. As well as a couple of Bonus Boss Fight Levels with Luke squaring off against Boba Fett in one and Darth Vader in the other. I never won those. And that Star Wars Cabinet is gone too!
I remember playing this at an arcade all the time as a kid. It was in this big box and made you feel like you were sitting inside a submarine. I miss this so much 🥹
Honestly I'm not a big fan of the turret styled light gun games, cause most modern ones are that style and I miss being able to hold a neon handgun. Although I make a very special exception for Ocean Hunter, it fits really well here obviously. Man it'd be so cool to have an Ocean Hunter II, I'd love to see what cool sea monsters they could come up with.
I remember one afternoon my cousin and I went to our local arcade with 50 dollars worth of quarters and spent the afternoon beating this game, the final boss fight is still one of my most memorable boss fights of all time to this day
Those moments when the other player is busy looking for treasure, while the other has the reflexes of a drunk person. I'm looking at you player one. Don't take it out of context, it was a good game. Thanks for the 60 fps.
Both it and the screech are taken from the AVP2 game. The high pitch whoop is healing, the long roar is whenever you kill prey by destroying their head.
6:51 Has anyone notice the little diver walking cautiously in the second mission just when the other diver it's brutally killed by the Sharks? 25:07 How the diver, who was swallowed by Midgardsom survived 10 days without food or sweet water inside that monster? Still, great childhood game. I played it for the first time in april of 2000 right before watching in cinema Galaxy Quest(2000). Always when we go to that mall, my dad gave me lots of quarters to play but i never beat it all. 22 years later, that game still kicking until today just they change the original screen to a 50' inch 4K TV looks awesome!!
Holy crap, does this take me back. This was one of the first arcade games and shooters I ever played, along with *House of the Dead* (first zombie game). I remember spending SO many dollars for tokens on this at the bowling alley as a kid. The bosses were epic, scary, and really made me feel like an oceanic explorer as well as "a little fish in a VERY big pond", so to speak, compared to them. Even though it's the 1st & easiest boss, the Kraken is still my favorite of the creatures. When I first beat the game as a teen, I was initially in disbelief like, *"Wait, what just happened? Is that it? Did I seriously win?"* That feeling like I had conquered the world was great and reminds me to appreciate the older days of gaming. 😱 *#UnderTheSea* 🦈
枯木灘 1 秒前 10年ほど前、苗場のスキー場のホテルのゲームコーナーでプレイしたのですが、その後同じ筐体を見ることはなく、自分の記憶の中で伝説となっていたゲームです。無機質な英語のナレーションの声が昨日のように蘇ってきます。動画投稿に感謝します。 (I played this game about ten years ago at game corner in hotel at Naeba, Akita prefecture, Japan, where my family went to for skiing. And I have never seen this machine again. So this game became legendary thing in my memory. Seeing this video, inorganic narration voice ‘leviathan’ reminds me of my childhood’s memory just as it experienced yesterday. Thank your for posting rare video.)
used to play this with dad in an amusement park and right now im feeling sad that i cant find this anywhere anymore , wish this came on the Wii like LA machinegun and Resident Evil Chronicles , this would be a treasure in my collection if if it had a Wii port .
Unlike common, ubiquitous arcade shooters like Jurassic Park and Terminator, this game has excellent lore, fun bosses, and beautiful aesthetics. It felt more like an experience, rather than just a regular shooting game. Growing up, I used to play this game with my grandfather at the boardwalk every summer. He was like a dad to me and we were both huge beach fans, so this was the perfect game. I remember spending hours and using so many tokens as a kid trying to beat it. Well, about 7 years ago, the arcade was bought out by new management and they got rid of the game, which was the most popular one. I haven't been able to find it anywhere else. This video brings back so many memories and lots of nostalgia. From the music, to the clip at the end, and even that iconic sound when you insert the coins, I feel like I'm reliving those moments playing it by the beach. This might sound cheesy to some, but this game has a special place in my heart. Thank you so much for the upload, I'll see again one day Pop

One of the stages in this game, Texcoco, was an actual lake in Mexico. Funny thing is, it no longer exists as it was drained during colonial times, and there were never piranhas in it. Much less monster-sized plesiosaurs named "Ahuizotl"! :-p
I’ll never forget playing this for the first time at the hotel in Disney world. I got up really early and checked out their arcade and saw this and gave it a try and I was hooked.
I'd love to see a remake of this. It'd be cool to get more mythologically accurate creatures as well. Ahuizotl: "Canine like, very skinny with sharp, jagged fur, and a tail that ends in a third hand" This game: "Buhhh...make it a plesiosaur, idk."
Midgardsorm/Jormungandr is supposed to be a snake, but they made it an earth worm. Leviathan is supposed to be a crocodile, but they made it a megalodon. I actually don't mind the creative freedom they took
@@matheuscruz8574 Leviathan was never a reptilian in the myth though. It was a big sea monster likely to be a giant fish or whale. Where did you get crocodile?
Played this game couple of years ago in Tenerife and completed it. Used to love playing this game years ago and it’s so hard to find now, sega should remake this game for arcades again with better graphics and motion and wind effects or a follow up to the original game at least. This game was so ahead of its time along with scud race which also used to same arcade board sega model 3.
There is something beautiful, elegant and eerie about the design of the true form of Rahab and I love the story at the end spoken from the view point of Rahab itself.
He was evil as stated but he did seem noble with his intentions. I wish I had played this instead of watching. The ending twist was good and beautiful.
Out of all arcade games, i totally wanna see how this game would hold up to today's graphics with an Update, CMON THEY DID HOUSE OF THE DEAD, NOW WE NEED OCEAN HUNTERS! Like imagine the Chardybis portion be actual darkness and you could only see the fish coming at you through their luminescense! That'd be terrifying and awesome!

i Remembered Playing This Arcade Classic as a Kid with My Father at a Local Main Event, Location at Shenandoah, Years Ago. but we Ran out of Credits and Couldn't Beat the Final Boss in the End... But then later They Sadly for Some Dumb Reason Took the Arcade Out... Untill i Got to Play The Full Game again this year in 2023, At a Old-School-Retro Arcade place at Houston known as "Cidercade" with me and My Mother. it was a Really Awesome Game ! Ya'll Should Give This game and the Location Cidercade, a Chance ! you could be Missing out on some Really Cool Arcade Games Their ! :)
You haven't experienced true terror until you've encountered the 90"+ screen version of this cabinet in the cold dark of the GameWorks in Las Vegas. Holy crap that was absurd to walk into!
Who Would win? 7 Deadly Monsters that each rule the 7 seas each with their own henchmen creatures, (Except for Ahuizotl) and huge swarms of Sharks. Or *_2 Spear gun Bois_*
First time I ever see the ending in 2020 thanks to this video. Great game, scared the hell out of my ass back in arcade years. Sad ending, when the monsters have a better plot than human lol
_Once there was a sea deeper, emptier than any sea_ _I, born from chaos_ _Protected by the flow of silence_ _I the water, sea that I am_ _I rest in silence_ _Waiting for the time to come_ _Where vanity and sea meet, I saw truth_ _In the eye of truth nothing can be deceived_ _Man disgraced the place that I rest_ _As if he ruled the world_ _Wrath of I, shall summon the winds_ _and storm shall tear the sea_ _The 5 monsters that I have_ _created each live, in their own sea_ _Whatever encroaches on_ _my territory I shall destroy_ _All shall return to chaos_
@@ciberkid22 Hard to say. Who truly claims the right to control a domain? The most powerful? The ones who can defend it? The ones who came first? It may be unreasonable to demand that man limit itself to the land and not explore and use the ocean to its prosperity. Rahab will reclaim the ocean eventually anyway. Man’s incursion is brief in the entirety of the ocean’s existence.
i remember 100% completing this game with my best friend at the time at our local pizza place that has this in the arcade. we fed the quarter machine a 20 dollar bill and filled a whole soda cup with coins for everytime we died, so much nostalgia here. thanks for uploading!!
Yeah, and bummer this never got ported for that matter either, especially since it would have been great on the Dreamcast, or even the Wii down the road. Maybe an Arcade 1Up version of it can perhaps be done one day though?
@@thea.b.d.nchannel975 yeah that was 20 years ago, things change, places close down. which is why he said it's very hard to find these days and that they should make a port for it on current consoles
When I was a kid on a holiday in Spain. A random restaurant had this game. I had nightmares for weeks after seeing the trailer and played a few rounds…
One of my early memories is getting to Rahab and losing. Then I asked my dad, “hey dad, it doesn’t tell you where to shoot here. What do I do?” And he said “shoot it in the eye”. So I did and it fucking worked. I went on to get all the high scores. Literally, the arcade cabinet was filled with DAW
I can still remember going to Kennywood for a school field trip and sitting in the arcade for hours playing this and HotD 2. Excellent cabinet, had a seat with mounted light guns and a black curtain.
25:49 I feel really bad for Midgardsorm, to be honest. Imagine having something inside of you shoot at your heart and cause it to explode. All the other monsters were actively attacking the players, at least.
you could feel bad for the rest of the monsters as well. in the end, it was said that the reasons the monsters were created was because the humans were overhunting or disgracing the sea. so they were defending the seas in response.
@@JV-km9xk Yeah, I suppose the monsters were just acting on their instincts. But still, the monsters were doing more than just defending the seas from humans; they were killing innocent sea creatures too. Plus, there would’ve been a better way to protect the oceans than to start with violence.
@@hassantv100 Rahab it's a sea demon angel in Semitic or Jewish mythology but Rahab also mean "rage" and "wrath" fitting for a Primordial god hate the humans race for disturbed his sleep and destroyed his seas, Dagon its a sea god in Canaanite mythology while we all know who Poseidon is already
I played this game when I was a child, but I forgot the name of it. I've been searching this game my whole life because I never found it. and then here I am to ending my 23 years journey to search the tittle of this game.
I remember when I was a little kid and played this game with my dad in the mall with like 10 people watching us. Rip dad, i miss you
Damn im sorry
I'm so sorry I hope you're doing better!
Rip. Sorry to hear that bud.
Man i Hope you feel better
man, you almost made me cry, i remember playing with my mom, bye bye mom :( RIP
SEGA's light gun games are a historical landmark upon arcades.
Madzlick Chinatown Agreed, shame SEGA only produces Software now... :(
I thought they still made arcade machines in Japan.
Nah, they stopped producing them as much after early 2005 due to the decline of Arcade-esque products in Japan, they even had Arcade personnel relocated to other positions or just straight up left without jobs....
Sega still makes Arcade games for Japan and some parts of Asia, though nowhere near as numerous as they were during the golden age of arcade gaming.
Yup their arcades were one of the best...
There is this game and lots of other good ones like lost world jurassic park
Whoever can beat this game with one credit needs to be nominated for sainthood immediately. This game is relentlessly difficult...
I remember how me and my mom almost beat it. Poseidon really a pain in the ass
My cousin and i managed to finish the game using all our pocket money and had played for 2hours
You want an extra challenge? How about a No Death run? Or even more difficult, No Damage? Either of those will make you a Gaming Demigod.
I won with no damage once with my. Dad, so we ez pro

Despite having such a charming aesthetic and feel to it, this honestly scares me way more than house of the dead.
Nope: The Game
Islands of Adventure used to have this in their arcade right by House of the Dead 3.
underrated comment
I played the game by chance when hungover one morning on a holiday years ago and it scared fuck out of me.didnt go swimming that day
I mean... House of the Dead ain't scary at all. Maybe grosetique, but not scary.
A fear of the sea is a pretty common phobia.
For those of you unfamiliar with mythology, let me break it down.
Kraken: Norse monster; a giant octopus or squid said to drag ships underwater with its numerous tentacles
Hydra: Greek monster; a creature with many heads on long necks, was killed by Heracles during his 12 labors
Leviathan: Hebrew monster; a fish-like creature described in great detail in the Old Testament as nearly invincible
Naga: Hindu monster; a specific class of divine being that took the form of a great snake
Scylla and Charybdis: Greek monsters; occupied either side of the Strait of Messina; Scylla would always eat six crew members of each ship that passed by her side; Charybdis would create whirlpools strong enough to drag ships underwater if they veered too close
Ahuizotl: Aztec monster; a dog-like hunter that would drag its prey underwater with its hand-tipped tail
Medusa: Greek monster; a gorgon who could turn people who looked at her to stone
Karkinos: Greek monster; a crab that was sent by Hera to distract Heracles while he was fighting the hydra
Midgardsorm: Norse monster; a giant serpent that encircled the Earth with its body and gripped its own tail
Cerberus: Greek monster; a three-headed dog charged with guarding the entrance to the Underworld
Umi-Bozu: Japanese monster; a vaguely humanoid creature that would capsize the ships of any who tried to speak to it
Vritra: Hindu monster; the personification of drought and a major adversary of Indra
Kaliya: Hindu monster; a poisonous naga who lived in the Yamuna River and faced Krishna
Dagon: Mesopotamian god of fertility, and then grain and fish and/or fishing
Poseidon: Greek god of the sea and earthquakes
Rahab: major sea demon in Medieval Jewish folklore

Not to mention more story. I think it would've been keen if they went into more detail on the destruction and terror caused by the Seven Great Monsters.
I remember playing this at the arcade with my son when he was a child. So many great memories, thanks for uploading!
10:00 “Help me”

Loved this as a kid, especially the bosses since they're based on mythologies. Wished Sega released a remaster collection of their Arcade classics.
This game was a nightmare fuel for me when I was little. I thought it was an exploration game bc i like sea creature until I watched my dad and brother played it and those bosses appeared 😂😭 it's too bad that i didn't have the chance to try it many years later, but it is nice to see its legacy being remembered online.
this game definitely feels different with a small screen.
When I was a kid I felt so immersed thorough the whole game.
Yeah, especially if you got to play the theater version of it, which made you truly feel like you were "inside" the game for that matter too! Same was also the case with the The Lost World: Jurassic Park, along with the second House of the Dead for that matter also!
I would play this game ALL THE TIME whenever I went to an arcade place.
Same this is like my childhood game
My dad says I can't have the geme

Gabriel Drake me to!

So much memories with this game
This is the finest footage of the game I have ever seen! And the only one in English, too. You guys have done good!
I remember this game so much. Sadly I never got far enough to beat it.
Rest in pepperoni 😔
Neither did I. But I almost did once! And sadly, the Cabinet they had of This at the Magic Mountain close to My Place is no longer there. One of two Cabinets there I ever really got in to. I actually never knew until just now how rare It was outside of Japan (And apparently Singapore) I actually didn't know that it was made in Japan either.
The other one that I was really in to was a Star Wars Cabinet with 4 Levels: Battle of Yavin, Battle of Hoth, Ground Battle of Endor and Space Battle of Endor. I did manage to win a couple of times. As well as a couple of Bonus Boss Fight Levels with Luke squaring off against Boba Fett in one and Darth Vader in the other. I never won those. And that Star Wars Cabinet is gone too!
Same here.
Same
I did!!!! It took many many times of convincing my dad to go to the arcade but we did it
Could you imagine this in VR
Evan Bernardi nope
Screw vr
" I close my eyes and i could see the world is waiting up for me " LMAO
With today's graphics and music, I'd be equally awesome and terrifying.
NO
I remember playing this at an arcade all the time as a kid. It was in this big box and made you feel like you were sitting inside a submarine. I miss this so much 🥹
Honestly I'm not a big fan of the turret styled light gun games, cause most modern ones are that style and I miss being able to hold a neon handgun. Although I make a very special exception for Ocean Hunter, it fits really well here obviously. Man it'd be so cool to have an Ocean Hunter II, I'd love to see what cool sea monsters they could come up with.
I fuckingmlove the game to death sega needs a console sequel now but with a story mode, multiplayer mode, store for upgrades, etc
I love that last message from Rahab lml
It kind of makes you wonder if Rahab was really the good guy and the two hunters were the bad guys
Martin Gargaro thats true
Martin Gargaro, it would likely depend on who you are asking. Rahab was pretty much wreaking havoc on the humans in that world.
I think Rahab was trying to protect his territory from sailors and pirates.
Rahab is next gen legendary in galar region
I remember one afternoon my cousin and I went to our local arcade with 50 dollars worth of quarters and spent the afternoon beating this game, the final boss fight is still one of my most memorable boss fights of all time to this day
The Ocean Hunter game needs to be remade with much better backgrounds
Mike Eustaquio Agreed, but let's be honest, the background and ambiance the game gives off isn't half bad for a 1998 Arcade Light-Gun Shooter. :P
Shit, I'd take a 1 to 1 port just with controller support
@@xayer98 me2
Those moments when the other player is busy looking for treasure, while the other has the reflexes of a drunk person. I'm looking at you player one.
Don't take it out of context, it was a good game. Thanks for the 60 fps.
Why leviathan sound like predator when he get hit
All of them
I dunno, but I love the sound of that roar.
Andy production I don’t hear it
@@flargarbason1740 The bit in Predator 2 when he injects himself
Both it and the screech are taken from the AVP2 game. The high pitch whoop is healing, the long roar is whenever you kill prey by destroying their head.
6:51 Has anyone notice the little diver walking cautiously in the second mission just when the other diver it's brutally killed by the Sharks?
25:07 How the diver, who was swallowed by Midgardsom survived 10 days without food or sweet water inside that monster?
Still, great childhood game.
I played it for the first time in april of 2000 right before watching in cinema Galaxy Quest(2000).
Always when we go to that mall, my dad gave me lots of quarters to play but i never beat it all.
22 years later, that game still kicking until today just they change the original screen to a 50' inch 4K TV looks awesome!!
Probably the same guy
25:58
Just noticed the little diver pop up on the right side. "Sweet, did you guys kill this thing? I can finally leave now!!"
Kit Blue not for 2 years
Dude has been in there for 10 days how has he survived for that long?
Holy crap, does this take me back. This was one of the first arcade games and shooters I ever played, along with *House of the Dead* (first zombie game). I remember spending SO many dollars for tokens on this at the bowling alley as a kid.
The bosses were epic, scary, and really made me feel like an oceanic explorer as well as "a little fish in a VERY big pond", so to speak, compared to them. Even though it's the 1st & easiest boss, the Kraken is still my favorite of the creatures.
When I first beat the game as a teen, I was initially in disbelief like, *"Wait, what just happened? Is that it? Did I seriously win?"* That feeling like I had conquered the world was great and reminds me to appreciate the older days of gaming.
😱 *#UnderTheSea* 🦈
I wish they will make this the new game called "The Ocean Hunter 2."

10年ほど前、苗場のスキー場のホテルのゲームコーナーでプレイしたのですが、その後同じ筐体を見ることはなく、自分の記憶の中で伝説となっていたゲームです。無機質な英語のナレーションの声が昨日のように蘇ってきます。動画投稿に感謝します。
(I played this game about ten years ago at game corner in hotel at Naeba, Akita prefecture, Japan, where my family went to for skiing. And I have never seen this machine again. So this game became legendary thing in my memory. Seeing this video, inorganic narration voice ‘leviathan’ reminds me of my childhood’s memory just as it experienced yesterday. Thank your for posting rare video.)

@@claritzacedillo exactly!
I loved this game so much at the arcade as a kid. I literally will give money to the creators if they would make a remaster or a part 2
used to play this with dad in an amusement park and right now im feeling sad that i cant find this anywhere anymore , wish this came on the Wii like LA machinegun and Resident Evil Chronicles , this would be a treasure in my collection if if it had a Wii port .
Unlike common, ubiquitous arcade shooters like Jurassic Park and Terminator, this game has excellent lore, fun bosses, and beautiful aesthetics. It felt more like an experience, rather than just a regular shooting game. Growing up, I used to play this game with my grandfather at the boardwalk every summer. He was like a dad to me and we were both huge beach fans, so this was the perfect game. I remember spending hours and using so many tokens as a kid trying to beat it. Well, about 7 years ago, the arcade was bought out by new management and they got rid of the game, which was the most popular one. I haven't been able to find it anywhere else. This video brings back so many memories and lots of nostalgia. From the music, to the clip at the end, and even that iconic sound when you insert the coins, I feel like I'm reliving those moments playing it by the beach. This might sound cheesy to some, but this game has a special place in my heart. Thank you so much for the upload, I'll see again one day Pop

One of the stages in this game, Texcoco, was an actual lake in Mexico. Funny thing is, it no longer exists as it was drained during colonial times, and there were never piranhas in it. Much less monster-sized plesiosaurs named "Ahuizotl"! :-p
Lmao

I remember playing this in the arcade when I was younger. It would be awesome to own this in the original arcade cabinet.
oh man. I loved this game when I was a kid. my family took me to vegas. they had their slots and I had $50 worth of tokens. Game on!
19:46 How the narrator/announcer says "Medusa" is just great XD
Was looking for this.
Meh juice ah
I’ll never forget playing this for the first time at the hotel in Disney world. I got up really early and checked out their arcade and saw this and gave it a try and I was hooked.
The barracuda always made me jump. The loud hissing and approaching maw was some sketchy shit to 10 year old me.
Council of Ricks yup i also played this in the arcade as a child and crapped myself with the barracudas
Not gonna lie, I think the soundtrack in each level really polishes off a great arcade game.
Good grief; no wonder I was never able to beat this. XD Stuff is nuts.
Shame we're never gonna get a sequel.
Or like an Ocean Hunter level in Smash or something. That'd be cool.
Whichwould mean torel and chris characters, which means amiibos
Maybe we wil get a sequel. You never know
@@goldiful9439 never will guranteed
fireflocs This is Sega, not Nintendo
Even a bigger shame this game never got a well deserved console port for that matter either.
I remember I reached the crab boss with 1 coin when I was 12... What memories with this game :*)
Lightgun games are my favs tho :D
Well thanks Sega!
Edit:That Creepy mans voice made me laugh when he said kraken and baroque sea
I'd love to see a remake of this. It'd be cool to get more mythologically accurate creatures as well.
Ahuizotl: "Canine like, very skinny with sharp, jagged fur, and a tail that ends in a third hand"
This game: "Buhhh...make it a plesiosaur, idk."
LegendaryOdin and what are the names of these seas? The Baroque sea? Luna Sea? What?
LegendaryOdin *elasmosaurus
Midgardsorm/Jormungandr is supposed to be a snake, but they made it an earth worm.
Leviathan is supposed to be a crocodile, but they made it a megalodon.
I actually don't mind the creative freedom they took
Those were basically only names. Not actualy mythological beings
@@matheuscruz8574 Leviathan was never a reptilian in the myth though. It was a big sea monster likely to be a giant fish or whale. Where did you get crocodile?
Me and my sister actually finished this game in the arcade more than a decade ago already. Fun times. 😊
Played this game couple of years ago in Tenerife and completed it. Used to love playing this game years ago and it’s so hard to find now, sega should remake this game for arcades again with better graphics and motion and wind effects or a follow up to the original game at least. This game was so ahead of its time along with scud race which also used to same arcade board sega model 3.
In the Alcampo's cinema yes. I always played there too
Played this game over 20 years ago when I was a little kid. I want to experience these arcade games again.
26:03 At least they remembered to bring him, too.
25:58 You even see him poke out from around the corner here.
I did not notice that for 2 years
Yes! He was like
"Noooooo I dropped my treasure!!!"
There is something beautiful, elegant and eerie about the design of the true form of Rahab and I love the story at the end spoken from the view point of Rahab itself.
He was evil as stated but he did seem noble with his intentions. I wish I had played this instead of watching. The ending twist was good and beautiful.
Out of all arcade games, i totally wanna see how this game would hold up to today's graphics with an Update, CMON THEY DID HOUSE OF THE DEAD, NOW WE NEED OCEAN HUNTERS! Like imagine the Chardybis portion be actual darkness and you could only see the fish coming at you through their luminescense! That'd be terrifying and awesome!

i Remembered Playing This Arcade Classic as a Kid with My Father at a Local
Main Event, Location at Shenandoah, Years Ago. but we Ran out of Credits and Couldn't Beat the Final Boss in the End...
But then later They Sadly for Some Dumb Reason Took the Arcade Out...
Untill i Got to Play The Full Game again this year in 2023, At a Old-School-Retro Arcade place at Houston known as
"Cidercade" with me and My Mother. it was a Really Awesome Game ! Ya'll Should Give This game and the Location Cidercade, a Chance !
you could be Missing out on some Really Cool Arcade Games Their !

Midgardsorm is one of my favourite boss. Remind me like the bloop
Yes

thank you so much for uploading this, it brings back so many happy memories..
You shall be reminded once more
0:00 that opening music sounds like Can't fight this feeling by REO Speedwagon.
Luigi Mario Holy shit it does
"364 Peaple have died!" 7:21 lol typo spotted.
Jaime Morales hey! Don’t mock the peaple at SEGA
I like how a lot of the named sea monsters are just regular sea creatures with fancy names.
This game was a classic back in my time. It was probably the hardest arcade game I have played back then but I persevered until I finally beat it.
You haven't experienced true terror until you've encountered the 90"+ screen version of this cabinet in the cold dark of the GameWorks in Las Vegas. Holy crap that was absurd to walk into!
Holy cow... I played this with my dad at the cinema and finished it in one go lol, nostalgia overhaul.
Who Would win?
7 Deadly Monsters that each rule the 7 seas each with their own henchmen creatures, (Except for Ahuizotl) and huge swarms of Sharks.

@@ridzmanaliff6651 oooh yup that
RIP Ahuizotl
First time I ever see the ending in 2020 thanks to this video. Great game, scared the hell out of my ass back in arcade years. Sad ending, when the monsters have a better plot than human lol
_Once there was a sea deeper, emptier than any sea_
_I, born from chaos_
_Protected by the flow of silence_
_I the water, sea that I am_
_I rest in silence_
_Waiting for the time to come_
_Where vanity and sea meet, I saw truth_
_In the eye of truth nothing can be deceived_
_Man disgraced the place that I rest_
_As if he ruled the world_
_Wrath of I, shall summon the winds_
_and storm shall tear the sea_
_The 5 monsters that I have_
_created each live, in their own sea_
_Whatever encroaches on_
_my territory I shall destroy_
_All shall return to chaos_
Makes me wonder which side is truly in the right. Man defending their kind from the monsters. Monsters sent by Rahab to defend his seas and territory
@@ciberkid22 Hard to say. Who truly claims the right to control a domain? The most powerful? The ones who can defend it? The ones who came first? It may be unreasonable to demand that man limit itself to the land and not explore and use the ocean to its prosperity.
Rahab will reclaim the ocean eventually anyway. Man’s incursion is brief in the entirety of the ocean’s existence.
Un discurso para nada genérico, alguien que simplemente velaba por el bienestar de su territorio
i remember 100% completing this game with my best friend at the time at our local pizza place that has this in the arcade. we fed the quarter machine a 20 dollar bill and filled a whole soda cup with coins for everytime we died, so much nostalgia here. thanks for uploading!!
One of the most beautiful and very hard to find arcade rail shooter out there. It would be so awesome if Sega can release this on virtual consoles
Hard to find? Lol these go for around 2k on ebay which is surpisingly cheap for the size of these cabs
back in 2000s this game was in every arcades
Yeah, and bummer this never got ported for that matter either, especially since it would have been great on the Dreamcast, or even the Wii down the road. Maybe an Arcade 1Up version of it can perhaps be done one day though?
@@Dr_Salt yeah lol let me just pay 2k to play this arcade game i used to play as a kid
@@thea.b.d.nchannel975 yeah that was 20 years ago, things change, places close down. which is why he said it's very hard to find these days and that they should make a port for it on current consoles
When I was a kid on a holiday in Spain. A random restaurant had this game. I had nightmares for weeks after seeing the trailer and played a few rounds…
This game taught me thalassophobia
My hair stands on end when I remember such a tremendous childhood gem, so many memories, I could never get past the deep-sea fish.
One of my early memories is getting to Rahab and losing. Then I asked my dad, “hey dad, it doesn’t tell you where to shoot here. What do I do?” And he said “shoot it in the eye”. So I did and it fucking worked. I went on to get all the high scores. Literally, the arcade cabinet was filled with DAW
I can still remember going to Kennywood for a school field trip and sitting in the arcade for hours playing this and HotD 2. Excellent cabinet, had a seat with mounted light guns and a black curtain.
25:49 I feel really bad for Midgardsorm, to be honest. Imagine having something inside of you shoot at your heart and cause it to explode. All the other monsters were actively attacking the players, at least.
you could feel bad for the rest of the monsters as well. in the end, it was said that the reasons the monsters were created was because the humans were overhunting or disgracing the sea. so they were defending the seas in response.
@@JV-km9xk Yeah, I suppose the monsters were just acting on their instincts. But still, the monsters were doing more than just defending the seas from humans; they were killing innocent sea creatures too. Plus, there would’ve been a better way to protect the oceans than to start with violence.
I’m so glad this video has over 2 million views. People need to live and treasure food art like this, not forget it
How cool is this!? I'm always enamored with on rails shooters and I'm so happy to have found this one. I wish I could've played it myself.
Can't wait for this game's official home port via Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza
Me too!!!!! I’m also getting Pirate Yakuza mainly for Ocean Hunter’s home port!!!
Home port? More like "the original arcade version at home".
3:14 that scream was used as the predator’s war cry!
I remember this game. Im gonna say this here:
Scylla was way harder than Charbydis
That "sea dragon" is actually harmless and eat algae
Remember how the graphics were so realistic back in the day
The fish were under Dagon’s influence. Meaning, they’ll defend the monsters and their creator since Dagon himself had a grudge with humans.
Just because it eat sea algae doesnt mean its not dangerous.
Like that elephant.
@@GenocidalSquid Don't you mean by his true name: "Rahab?" "Dagon" and "Poseidon" are just nicknames to him.
@@hassantv100 Rahab it's a sea demon angel in Semitic or Jewish mythology but Rahab also mean "rage" and "wrath" fitting for a Primordial god hate the humans race for disturbed his sleep and destroyed his seas, Dagon its a sea god in Canaanite mythology while we all know who Poseidon is already
Its 2018!!! Damn, I only played this arcade game once in my life, now it seems rare, I don't even know if stuff like this still exist
懐かしい！子供の時ゲーセンでよくやってたわ
I played this game when I was a child, but I forgot the name of it. I've been searching this game my whole life because I never found it. and then here I am to ending my 23 years journey to search the tittle of this game.
