One of my favorite games in the arcade as a kid ! I used to be able to beat this on 1 quarter ! Still love this game ! But I wish I could play it with a rotary joystick 🕹 😕
No way you've got good with just one quarter. You gotta spent at least $50-$100 total over the course a year or two before you got to be very good with just one quarter and accomplished the mission. We all did win with just one quarter with same move every time.😂
I played the crap out of this when I was in elementary school. I always saved the 2nd Heavy Barrel gun for the final battle though. It made it super easy
Total fun to play in the mall arcade back in the day. The building-your-ultra-weapon-piece-by-piece mechanic was awesome. Great sound design too. “ *One.* “
This was so gratifying to watch. I used to beat this game after school every day on 1 life (assuming I didn't get the red grenade barrage on the platform then it would take 2) . This is the only game I've ever actively sought in arcades. I could never find it. Thanks for the awesome memories!
I loved this game as a kid! It was the very first arcade game I actually was able to beat and eventually got to the point where I could beat it on one quarter. It was figuring out how to time it so I got the last piece immediately before the last boss that was the biggest help.
I had this game down to a science. I had almost all the boxes memorized and could finish it on one quarter but not 1 guy (I’d usually die at least once). The play on this video while achieving the impressive feat of finishing with one life left way too many survivors. I usually tried to wipe out as much of the resistance possible and end the game while wielding the Heavy Barrel gun. Thanks for the flashback.
"Heavy Barrel" Longplay (Arcade) This is one of my all time favorite games to play from the 1980's. This game is soo awesome. I go to a place called "The Arcade" & this game is there & I always play It. It's soo much fun to. I still have yet to beat this game. I'm sure I can....SSSSSS.
Another strong Arcade original classic from Data East! Certainly another great top-down run and gun that is most certainly a quarter cruncher/token taker with how unbelievable challenging and unfair this game gets as you progress! Never the less, this is still an amazing title that showed a lot of the simple originality and fun games that developers such as Data East were pumping out at throughout the 80s and 90s!
I remember being on a roll one day. Everyone at the store was gathered around me as I kicked butt. Then my stepfather came in and pulled me by the ear in the middle of the game because he said I wasted a quarter. I used to go berserk when I got that heavy barrel gun 😂
.....ADMIT IT...we all probably poured around $100 dollars quarters to play before we all got really good with just one quarter then we all finished the game with an exact move every time. 😂
im a game dev my friend recommended a feature from this, the "heavy barrel" feature where the bullets go huge (sounds like the dude is shouting "heavy bawwell"). I either mis-remembered or he did so I implemented "heavy bullets" instead.. well its still a reference in a weird way :))) looks great.
Congrats on an amazing playthrough. The PSN store has had this game as "just announced" for at least several months now. Can't wait! Ah! Uh! Ah! Uh! At-tack! One Two Three Four Five Six HEAVYYY BARREL! Ah! Uh! Ah! Uh!

dam dude lol only 1quarter..? never heard of such a feat on Arcade lol!

Thunderstick Studio has the GRS (Glen’s Retro Show) Super Stick that’s available for pre-order. Check it out.
Only game I could finish on a single quarter. Would bet people in the arcade I could do it. Made up my initial expenses and then some XD
Updated version of Ikari Warriors.
According to a former SNK dev of Ikari Warriors, Data East flat out copied Ikari source code
Man, I used to wear this game out in college.
Jaja! Me too, and TMNT ,Simpsons and for that has problems in home with my parents
back in summer of 87-88 me and my buddy wore this game out on .50-.75¢ at the arcade. Good times

Awesome. I don't think I ever saw it as far as the two red copters.
Picks up new gun. Gun speaks, yells, "ATTACK!"
I was never able to memorize which boxes had the gun pieces vs basic weapons.
Play this in arcade long time ago. Memories....
It seems to be a very nice game! Well played.
I watched other playing this game at a year of 3-5and I can humm all the musics.
that whip around is bad ass
Midnight Resistance in vertical, hence super awesome!
One of my favorites in the arcade back in the day!
Wow!!! Mad props to you bro...not one death.

If you're interested, the first "Heavyyyyy barrel" is at 7:30.

Nostalgic, I used to play it for hours

I remember when I was a teenager. My first job was a part-time job. This game took a whole check.
For me to complete it😅
Heavyyyyyyyy Barrel. I like wen it Says it. lol
Pick a weapon.
7:30 heeeeavvvvvvvvy barrel

Very much like Ikari Warriors
I put many quarts in this arcade years back
Oh 90's, please come back
Just so you know this game is in the 80s I played it in 89
I played this in the early 90's on an arcade cabinet. Fun times. I didn't realize it was made in 87.
I only got to play this on nes as a kid. This version is sick! I wish coin op would make a come back.
Agreed! Been to an arcade recently? They’re full of prize games these days.
.....ADMIT IT...we all probably poured around $100 dollars quarters to play before we all got really good with just one quarter then we all finished the game with an exact move every time. 😂
So true.. but totally worth it.
i finished this game with one life... hard to play with a simple keyboard when you need a special joystick for turn characters at 360°
Looks like Shock Troopers.
That laugh at the end boss sounds like Julia Childs 😳

This game is lame now, but it was one of my favorites back in the day! This and P.O.W.

My brother and I both had $5 in quarters and got to the end, 1988
Nice, I forgot about this one, thanks
Beat the game for one life?! Well done!
7:32 is the best part!
Love playing this on the nes
Cobra Gun from Robocop, the game!

Obvious that you don't have the round knob. Still, you are playing great!
This is Rambo on LSD.

3. ATTACK
4. HEAVY BARREL
5. (Repeat)

LAH UHH UHH UHH
UH-TACK!!!
LAH UHH UHH UHH

How did you emulate rotary joystick to play this one?
Is it true you can fall off the elevator in the arcade version?
Can tell this is on MAME because you're not spinning the joystick
My only original on famicom. It cost me all youth savings and it didnt work on our console at home , becouse it was china pirated famicom
At my Best I could finish this game with one quarter
How do I find this
The cabinet arcade versions are non existent. I've been searching for it for 35 years
@@justinoff1 wow how sad for me
Can't hold a candle to Ikari Warriors
No way. 👎
Ikari warriors didn't have, "Uh, wak, uh, wak!"
Ikari Warriors also didn't have "heaveeeeeey barrel!"
They are both amazing classic games.
