    Great bit of hardware mate, look forward to seeing it installed in a case.
    Huge fan of dragon breed, played it loads back in the day.

    Great video Nick
    Your alway my goto channel when I have the time. I have to admit I’m slightly jealous now and wish I’d kept it 😂 so cool it’s gone to you though seriously who really appreciates it.
    Fantastic bit of hardware it really is.

      Cheers Alex,
      thanks for the kind words, means alot coming from a top utuber like your self !
      I got a bit lucky snagging that Image fight from you, never thought about the multi until after I got it, so it was a massive bonus.
      Take it easy dude !

    Apologies I must of missed this when it went live :(.
    Man what an awesome bit of kit and it was cool of Alex to hook you up with one of his PCB’s.
    Irem were a great developer for sure. Yes I don’t have the hardware, but I’m happy that my MiSTer can allow me to enjoy these games.
    One that I loved and remember playing in a arcade in Liverpool when I was a kid is Hammering Harry. It’s also a game I own on the PSP.
    I hope all is food with you Nick.

      No worries Dylan, TBH I havent been on YT much so well behind too, Irem were top of their game back then, I reckon they had some of the best looking games and most talented artist during the late 80's until Capcom upper their game ! Tooty also mentioned he play Hammering harry in the arcade, didnt expect that one to be readily available on our shores !
      yeah the PSP version is great, yet to try the SFC one.
      Take it easy mate !

    Sweet piece of hardware that Nick, i actually played most of those games in the arcade, hammering harry was a fav

      Cheers Tooty,
      Yeah Hammerin Harry is a lot of fun, I think I only saw R-type and R-type 2 in my local arcade from these games, I would of loved Dragon Breed and Ninja Spirit, I grew up fairly close to Alton towers and use to go loads (good old days when u parked on the grass) they must of had some of these great arcades, but I probably forgot 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    This looks an awesome bit of kit you've bought here Nick
    Quite a few of those I've not seen before, thought Dragon Breed looked awesome
    Never tried Hammerin Harry but looks quite cool, will give that a go
    Some great games too, X Multiply, R type, Image Fight, hours of fun here mate, enjoyed that
    All the best 👍✌️

    • @red7even52
      @red7even52  Год назад

      Thanks James, yeah Dragon Breed is awesome, and its refreshing to play a different type of shooter !
      Definitely check out Hammerin Harry, I think there is a switch collection coming out, I believe the SFC version is good too!
      X multiply is stunning, so atmospheric ! if I am not mistaken you have the Saturn version, which is a cracking port !
      Take it easy dude and enjoy the weekend (hopefully you guys got a long weekend due to that Corrie thing !)

    What an amazing machine! Awesome you managed to get it all together. I’ll confess that aside from the obvious rtype I’ve only played a couple of the others. It’s pure emulation but I tried battle chopper via the evercade; and I thought mr heli was a challenge 😮. Dragon Breed likes blooming epic. Cool mechanics with using the dragons body to wreak havoc 😄. Have a fun one mate

    • @red7even52
      @red7even52  Год назад +1

      Cheers Ed, Have you got battle chopper/Mr Heli on the PCE, reckon its a must have Hucard, as far as I remember its reasonable priced too (but who knows with the prices these days !🤣)
      Dragon Breed is awesome, Craig says they have it in Arcade club so definitely seek it out next time you make a pilgrimage up north.
      Hope you and the fam are well, take it easy mate.

      @@red7even52 I do indeed. Need to invest more time into it as I’m not great at it!
      Now that sounds like a plan 😄
      All good cheers mate; a nice n’ chilled bank hols today which has been decent. Hope you’re all well pal. Cheers!

    Great piece of kit Nick, sounds really cool, you've loads of options for arcade gaming in your setup, top stuff.
    Was thinking I'd never heard of battle chopper until the game came on lol always quite enjoyed mr Heli, nice solid game.
    Dragon breed, awesome, one of my faves bitd on the amiga, would have only been a copy, I'm pretty sure Andy has it at arcade club.
    Armed police gallop, awesome, never played it too but I've heard it mentioned, could have been crtcade, but whoever it was seemed to rate it, I need to get onto some of this stuff.
    Really cool to have the two r types on there, I was playing the second a few months ago, really want to see more of that game as its one I've never played much historically, only the first game.
    X multiply is another favourite of mine but I've only over played the console versions, love the look and feel of it, irem did that organic theme so well.
    Image fight is just to easy to really bother with hahaha
    Top stuff "👍

      @red7even52  Год назад +1

      Cheers Craig,
      Yeah, Ill probably eventually try and get the CPS3 multi so I can play red earth and SF3 third strike, I only have JOJO and SF3 Giant attack, and I prob get the Sega 16B multi also by Apocalypse, then I will be done !
      I really enjoy Dragon Breed, how is the amiga version ? graphically the screen shots I saw looked ok, but did the amiga manage to get it to play well ?
      X multiply is a belter, Irem's graphics dept were on fire in the early 90's !
      Yeah Image fight .... complete walk in the park lol.
      Take it eazy mate.

      Blimey, it was over 30 years since I played the amiga port of dragon breed, I can't remember what I did yesterday hahaha I'm guessing it was a st port but I'm sure it would be OK, I've never really got back into the amiga since then.

      Cheers Buddy, hopefully the hardware bit wasnt too boring and there was a couple of interesting games in there for you to check out !
      BTW hopefully I will get a video out on soon on some Sg1000/MArkIII games i picked up over the past 3-4 months, you probably already have them but it might interest you ! enjoy the rest of the weekend mate.

    Nice one Nick. Another educational vid for people like me with no real arcade hardware experience- there are five IREM volumes coming to the ps4 and switch - strictly limited are doing various sets including a slip sleeve version that holds all five games for about 170 euros but given their history it will take about 3-5 years to release that last fifth volume. I’m holding out for a none strictly limited release which tends to happen on many of their releases such as the cotton games and ray series of games. I’m not waiting years for SL to pull their finger out - they could go bust and we lost our money.

    • @red7even52
      @red7even52  Год назад +1

      Cheers Nick, Yeah I totally agree, for the money they are asking and past history, I am not going with SL, for sure they will be a play asia version or Japanese box set that will be cheaper and will actually come out on time ! also the quality of the Cotton teacup print they did was terrible !
      Hope all is good mate, enjoy your Sunday evening.
