    1:13 NARC is one of my favorite arcade shooters. I remember being young and popping a quarter in not expecting much, but once I got that rocket launcher and shot an enemy it blew my mind. I was thinking "are those body parts flying through the air??"

      @@RSK412 basically a digital frane compressed and bit mapped then overlayed on tbe background,narc dud something similar but was scaled to a more isometric perspective. Donkey kong,this and mortal kombat i may be off in my memory but the characters and the backgrounds were seperated and just looked like they interacted. Compare that to something like mario and environmental interaction is very necessary. I wish i could explain more but its not my field I just remember reading about the design of donkey kong country and the emergence of that art style and its conplications at the time. Ps if you enjoy these check out the elevator action redux, cantvremember its name byt its feels like an snk game and plays great, and one on the origional ps,deels like you are plating a bruce willis movie, one of the few action winners on ps,its very similar to expendable in looks. Also burcher has one of the best trailers Ive ever seen,it sounds like the opening to a grindhouse movie.

    I actually owned the Genesis/Mega Drive version of Robocop VS Terminator and damn was it very hard due to the fact that you have zero invincibility frames.

    Al fin me pude sentar a ver el vídeo... Día atareado, D:
    Te adinive unos de la lista xDDDD
    Es así como dices irónicamente los shorter no tienen tanto contenido explícito, me imagino que por miedo a la censura, sobre todo en los años 90 dónde los juegos así, eran considerados "polémicos"
    Ese Strikes back se ve interesante, ese personaje parece una combinación de Liu Kang y Rambo jajajajajajajajajaja... xDDDD
    No pensé que ibas poner juegos modernos, de haber sabido hubiera sugerido más jejejejejejejeje... Muy contenta de que pusiste Valfaris (lo pusiste a última hora? O ya lo tenías contemplado) definitivamente me interesó el último.
    Buen detalle eso de agregar cuánto tiempo te lleva en promedio terminarlo.
    Excelente vídeo como siempre, ahora que ya tocaste lucha, beat em up y ahora run and gun sangrientos, quizás quieras hablar de plataformeros o metroidvania sangrientos. Quizá como Blackthorn o Blatphemus.
    Nota: del vídeo de los chibis que subiste la vez pasada, dije que había un mini mix de gemas tipo Tetris para Gameboy color... Pues me equivoqué era para advance jejejejejejejeje... 😅

      Normalmente trabajo con juegos ya comprados y/o emulados, pero a veces también compro juegos expresamente para incluirlos en algún vídeo (y jugarlos!)

    I might be overthinking this, but it could be getting more acceptable to give women gory deaths in run & gun games. In the 90s and early 2000s, the female mooks were either aliens(TH Strikes Back) or undead (King of Demons & Metal Slug 3). In modern times, female punks can be gunned down and lie bleeding on the floor(Easy Trigger).

      Nah, the only female bad guys in video games are like the ones in Uncharted 4. They're black for diversity and they kick your ass the entire game and you can't even hit them once. Then they just peace out at the end of the game without you ever getting any satisfaction of paying them back for all the crap they put you through because otherwise, it would be sexist and racist.
