Now this game is definitely weird, but for some reason I always loved playing this. I always loved shooting the helicopter and going through the strip club. Despite its stupid plot I kind of miss playing this game.... Thank you for taking the time and effort to read this message. Have a nice rest of your day.
This game should've segwayed into you having to venture from the arcade cabinet into the Aerosmith Rockin Roller Coaster ride where you shoot N.O.N. soldiers popping out everywhere
It's funny. Back in the day, when I was barely an adult, I thought this game was awesome. Now, almost twenty years later, I wonder what the hell they were smoking when they came up with this and why it turned out into a Terminator 2 clone. Also, next time I go to a concert, I should take a gun with me. If the security gets me, I'll just say I'm expecting a hostile takeover by a terrorist organization that is out to kidnap all the band members present, and that I'm the only one who can stop them. Oh, and that I'll probably have to blow the club to smithereens to find them all again. I wonder how long it'll take them to stop laughing, and if that happens before the cops arrive.
Perhaps its not needed, but I do want to thank you Tom for making such fascinating and original content. Rewatching the videos doesn't get old, cause my brain tends to assume that I misremembered something, cause its too crazy to be true, but in reality......... ya know
Exactly. Trying to adhere logic to this game after the first 30 seconds is like trying to get a rhinoceros to file taxes. The only way they could improve this game would be to somehow integrate it into guitar hero. "TILT GUITAR NOW TO UNLEASH A SALVO OF FLAMING VINYL!!"
It's one of those games with a bullshit false ending that says you didn't beat the game. "So you're saying I beat the game, but I didn't beat the game?! _FUCK YOU!_ " - James AVGN Rolfe
I'm willing to bet that the most common ending you got when you finished this game, was the bad ending. There's no way you could figure out that you needed to find Aerosmith members on your first playthrough in order to get the good ending.
I've been meaning to do a video about my real feelings about the game. The good ending is RIDICULOUSLY hard to find. Like, so hard to get it it kind of ticks me off.
O man! You just brought back insane nostalgia! There was one of these at a near by Pizza Hut when I was much younger. Never realized it was an Aerosmith game then, but now it makes me chuckle. Thank you for this!
Yes! That's exactly what the game's biggest issue is. For all the weirdness I make fun of, those are all just a big part of the appeal. I'm not sure I would find the game super awesome if they fixed that one aspect, but I'd definitely like it a lot more.
Ooooh, I remember playing this one at the arcades as a kid! And always found it a bit too violent, even for Aerosmith, That said, Helga looked amazing. :)
I have so many fond memories of this game from the neighborhood arcade as a kid. Now as an adult I realize how I was playing the video equivalent of a crazy acid trip
This was one of my favorite games of all time! I remembered playing it at my local Rusty's Pizza Parlor located in Lamont, California; and probably the ONLY Rusty's that has it, well, at least to my knowledge. Now I can play a rom of the game on pc thanks to the emulator Mame64. From that point on, Aerosmith became one of my favorite rock bands, all thanks to this one unique game. I'll still remember the good times I had playing this masterpiece.
You know, you do make a rather intimidating government-guy-with-leather-gloves-and-face-half-off-of-the-screen. You could be a really cool Council guy from XCOM.
I did get the ending by finding all of the members (i think). All the ending was the band descending on a stage crushing the final boss's head. Also, they're performing "Dude looks like a lady"
I only played it far enough to get to the strip club. Then died on purpose to go back and do it again. Kerry Hoskins was a babe. She also played Sonya in Mortal Kombat
You could sum the review for this game in one sentence: You try to save Aerosmith and you kill dozens of yellow soldiers along the way. Variety is not one of this game's strong points.
The shot with the shadow cast by an invisible guitar is deeply unsettling. Loved your New Order guy (BTW, does Aerosmith really hate Bernard Sumner and co.?). I enjoy your neoligistic exclamatory phrases like "What the craggly muffins of despair?". Mr. Trump... tear down this wall! Wow, that final boss went all Smash TV when [s]he died. LOL, "weapons-grade CDs". "A message by Joe Perry." :-)
I remember reading somewhere that they originally wanted to put guns n roses in this game, but i think this was being made in 94 right when gnr was ending lol.
Was never really an Aerosmith fan, but always loved lightgun games..&when this came out in the arcades I really liked it, mainly for the fact it was different than the usual lightgun shooter & I enjoyed the quirkiness lol...It was one of the 1st games I got for the PS1 but I was very dissapointed to learn it wasn't compatible with the gun controller so we returned it haha
This game is actually fun to play. I've played it with my buddy about a dozen times through many years ago. Just blow up everything, that's what the game is all about!
the only Fucking idiots that think its wierd is these Fuking stupid college Hipster Kids who know nothing about what real arcade play was before these junk/trash systems we have today that play the same games an have the same graphics
Excellent point there. See, I grew up playing Commodore 64 and NES back in the 80's so obviously I have no idea what real arcades were like. I'm obviously a fucking stupid college hipster kid. This really hinders my point that a game where you team up with Aerosmith to fight genetically-modified brainwashed bikini models with a machine gun that shoots CDs is a WEIRD FUCKING GAME.
I quite liked this video, you really put some effort in doing it! However, there's something that boggles my mind... If you gave 7/10 on weirdness scale to this game, to what in the entire universe would you give 10/10 to!?!
This may have been said before, but you didnt smash the tv in that fight, it was the mirror in the dressing room, the tv was hidden behind it. Note the same shattering mirrors in the bathroom before you get to Steve.
It was going to be much weirder than this. Seriously, Midway originally wanted Whitesnake for this game. I can't remember the details, like if this was too weird for Whitesnake or that Midway realized no one gave a crap about Whitesnake at the time, but somehow Aerosmith went on board with this. I'm trying to imagine this game with Whitesnake, and it just makes no sense.
Midway always made weird games, like NARC, Smash TV, MK, Revolution X, Total Carnage, Sinistar, and a long ETC.... but all those games were so fun that no one gives a shit about if they're weird or not xD
Has anyone else been dealing with loading issues when trying to watch this video? All the other videos that I watch on this channel seem to work perfectly fine, but not this one for some strange reason. :(
Great video! Yes, this game is totally wierd. But on home consoles nearly unplayable. If they are stealing our babes - where's the Duke? Ah wait, he is in an another bad video game. ;-)
This game is great. Very weird yes but it was a lot of fun. I'm not sure why the host dislikes it since he never explained that unless its the weirdness that makes him not enjoy it
Honestly I don't go into any detail over the good and bad in this review. The purpose of this review wasn't really to bash it. The purpose is only to highlight how weird it is. I might revisit this and talk about what I actually like and dislike some time in the future.
A video game was just a video game back in the 90's, it didn't matter for how violent that it was, as long as you don't get infuenced by it. I was playing this game at the age of 15; it was the first game to have made me to feel so intense; that I was actually sweating from my head. Aerosmith had made this game for his son. :"b
Why? It's not a review - just a playthrough of the game, showing all the weird bits and over-thinking them for comedic effect. That's what WeirdVideoGames always does ^^
"Because of cut scene logic youre not allowed to shoot while she's lecturing you" Ha ha and believe me I tried. Hey I didnt know you were supposed the free the caged strippers. Even though I loved this game....your review had me LMAO
When I was 12-14 years old, this game was at my bowling alley and my twin brother and I would rack our coins in that game during my sister's bowling match and we would play for hours on end until we ran out and our favorite part were when we see aerosmith playing on the stage and killing the living Hell out of NON soldiers Then on the way home we kept singing Eat the Rich and my dad shook his head and laughed a few years ago I bought the genesis version and it was horrendous I seen the Ps1 and it looks promising and I do not know about the pc version but I'm looking into it and then when was 15 they got rid of it but hopefully I'll download the arcade game on my computer, games like that never leave your mind I try to get every single version of the game SNES, PC, Sega Saturn, PS1 and Genesis. Revolution X is one of my favorite games ever.
Now this game is definitely weird, but for some reason I always loved playing this. I always loved shooting the helicopter and going through the strip club. Despite its stupid plot I kind of miss playing this game.... Thank you for taking the time and effort to read this message. Have a nice rest of your day.
I found all five of the band members and got 5X score at the end of the game. This game was awesome!!!
"Can I have your autograph?"
"YEAHHHHH!"
Love this game, one of my favorite shooters in the arcade.
This game should've segwayed into you having to venture from the arcade cabinet into the Aerosmith Rockin Roller Coaster ride where you shoot N.O.N. soldiers popping out everywhere
@BK Beatty Midway is no more, so Disney is FOL there. You can't grab that which is dead already, yeah?
I remember playing this game and I thought, "This is intense!" You are right about one thing, this game is weird!
It's funny. Back in the day, when I was barely an adult, I thought this game was awesome. Now, almost twenty years later, I wonder what the hell they were smoking when they came up with this and why it turned out into a Terminator 2 clone.

Don't forget your endless supply of ammo.
Cops or ambulance
I find myself watching your weird video games again and again.... it's one of the few things fun to watch in yt. Great job man, thanks for being here
Thank you so much! :)

@@WeirdVideoGames If you choose to do that video, I'd be happy to see it. 🙂

Am I the only one who thinks this game should be remade with the Protomen instead of Aerosmith?
Mistress Helga was actually Kerri Hoskins AKA the Sonya from Mortal Kombat
Space Taxi!
This was one of my favorite games of all time! I remembered playing it at my local Rusty's Pizza Parlor located in Lamont, California; and probably the ONLY Rusty's that has it, well, at least to my knowledge.

For this game great only on the arcade and we really were into strange things back in the 90's.
You know, you do make a rather intimidating government-guy-with-leather-gloves-and-face-half-off-of-the-screen.
You could be a really cool Council guy from XCOM.

Agreed, very underrated game.
Wow! Doug Walker is here
great show. nice to have found ur channel. keep em comin bro.
I only played it far enough to get to the strip club. Then died on purpose to go back and do it again. Kerry Hoskins was a babe. She also played Sonya in Mortal Kombat
This is one of my older reviews. I have a better camera and mic now. :)
I just played rapture rejects a few weeks ago and they have a CD launcher in it and now I seen this and remembered this really awesome game.

I always liked this game when I was young. I have it on SNES though and it's not quite the same as your review. Did you play it on something else?
I still play this at my local arcade. It is one of my favorite arcade games
Good review! All this time Ive played and I didnt know that those dancing caged girls were hostages...lol
Was never really an Aerosmith fan, but always loved lightgun games..&when this came out in the arcades I really liked it, mainly for the fact it was different than the usual lightgun shooter & I enjoyed the quirkiness lol...It was one of the 1st games I got for the PS1 but I was very dissapointed to learn it wasn't compatible with the gun controller so we returned it haha
No. I go to the auto shop and say, "Oh, boy! Look at all these magazines!"
This game is actually fun to play. I've played it with my buddy about a dozen times through many years ago. Just blow up everything, that's what the game is all about!
A lot of bullshit.
This is just a 90's arcade.
The best I've ever played, before I forget to say.
@CountryMichael This was the arcade version.
Very funny man... Love the bus part!
This game would have actually been pretty awesome if it weren't such a monotonous stream of bullets with no feeling of accomplishment or satisfaction.
I was on LSD the first time I played that game at Lazer Storm in north Pittsburgh.
Use to love this game.
the only Fucking idiots that think its wierd is these Fuking stupid college Hipster Kids who know nothing about what real arcade play was before these junk/trash systems we have today that play the same games an have the same graphics

well,for me its a good game,if you think that its a bad or weird videogame,ok!
Weird Video Games touché
I quite liked this video, you really put some effort in doing it!
However, there's something that boggles my mind...
If you gave 7/10 on weirdness scale to this game, to what in the entire universe would you give 10/10 to!?!
Ive played this it rocks, thanks for the vid and the memories bro
This may have been said before, but you didnt smash the tv in that fight, it was the mirror in the dressing room, the tv was hidden behind it. Note the same shattering mirrors in the bathroom before you get to Steve.
But it really does look incredible! Is this the type to game you have to play for yourself in order to see how bad it is?
I actually like this game a lot, really cool and very fun.
YOLO my friend, keep making videos!!!
Tear down the wall is a Pink Floyd reference.
I clearly rememeber this game. That means... that my father let me play this at the bar when I was a little girl... WTF was wrong with him??????
It was going to be much weirder than this. Seriously, Midway originally wanted Whitesnake for this game. I can't remember the details, like if this was too weird for Whitesnake or that Midway realized no one gave a crap about Whitesnake at the time, but somehow Aerosmith went on board with this. I'm trying to imagine this game with Whitesnake, and it just makes no sense.
Actually this was originally going to be a Jurassic Park game.
Hey, is Helga played by Kerri Hoskins by any chance?
Midway always made weird games, like NARC, Smash TV, MK, Revolution X, Total Carnage, Sinistar, and a long ETC....
but all those games were so fun that no one gives a shit about if they're weird or not xD
I freaking love this game! Remember playing in for the Genesis with my younger ocusin.
oh god I LOVED this as a kid. in arcade and I rented it for ps1 in kindergarten haha
Has anyone else been dealing with loading issues when trying to watch this video? All the other videos that I watch on this channel seem to work perfectly fine, but not this one for some strange reason. :(
@Yavvie Thank you for your well thought-out insight. Everyone should listen to you instead of me.
oh my god... this could be the greatest rails-shooter i have ever seen :D
I knew "Revolution X" was an Aerosmith game before I even knew who or what Aerosmith was.
Awesome review!
This is blasphemy. Revolution X is the greatest PlayStation game ever made.
Wasn't this the arcade game
+Benjamin Stipanov I think it was ported to other systems.
Made for Arcade, ported to SNES, Genesis, PlayStation, Saturn, and PC.
11:00 I think he's looking at an 'illegal' magazine, so he's not polishing his shotgun but something else entirely.
Great video! Yes, this game is totally wierd. But on home consoles nearly unplayable. If they are stealing our babes - where's the Duke? Ah wait, he is in an another bad video game. ;-)
Just played this game at our local arcade
Fun fact: The person who played Helga, is also the person who played Sonya in Mortal Kombat.
Mortal Kombat 3 specifically!
This game is weird and nonsensical, but it looks really fun. It looks like the kind of game you play when you just need to blow off steam.
Awesome game. Back then things just didn't need to make as much sense
I wanna see an entire movie based on this game.
This game is great. Very weird yes but it was a lot of fun. I'm not sure why the host dislikes it since he never explained that unless its the weirdness that makes him not enjoy it
hahaha....yea man didnt realize it as much when I was young, but SO much shit doesnt make sense in this 1...
this game was amazing, great graphics.
I played this at a laundry mat back in 2000
Actually, that game is AWESOME!
I remember seeing this game at this ghetto ass arcade in Vancouver. I didn't have time to play, Now I regret not playing it!
I loved this game
Ubisoft must’ve thought the CD launcher idea was cool. There’s one in Far Cry 6.
Honestly I don't go into any detail over the good and bad in this review. The purpose of this review wasn't really to bash it. The purpose is only to highlight how weird it is. I might revisit this and talk about what I actually like and dislike some time in the future.
Bit of trivia the woman who did the capture footage for Helga did Sonya in MK 2&3
I used to love this game as a child, I didnt care how weird it was at all. Looking at it now...What the fuck was I playing??
Ah yes, indeed she was. Good eyes/knowledge my friend. :D
A video game was just a video game back in the 90's, it didn't matter for how violent that it was, as long as you don't get infuenced by it.

I remember my grandma working at the mall and me and an Asian kid who's mom worked at the mall beating this game about a million times
Who is the blonde who appears in the game?
+X Vil Kerri Hoskins. She also played Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat 3. Midway liked her a lot.
totally had this game for snes, it was great
Still about 100X more entertaining than Journey: The Arcade Game
that give in give up poster is scary
Why? It's not a review - just a playthrough of the game, showing all the weird bits and over-thinking them for comedic effect. That's what WeirdVideoGames always does ^^
I remember Mortal Kombat arcade previewing this game.
I USED TO PLAY THIS GAME in the arcade room at EMBASSY SUIT HOTELS!!!
"Because of cut scene logic youre not allowed to shoot while she's lecturing you"
Ha ha and believe me I tried.
Hey I didnt know you were supposed the free the caged strippers. Even though I loved this game....your review had me LMAO
your not some guy who is going to go see Aerosmith. your actually a member of the Resistance called generation X who is trying to stop the new order
where have you been
that machine that turn girls into mutants was distrubing.
this game was great
When I was 12-14 years old, this game was at my bowling alley and my twin brother and I would rack our coins in that game during my sister's bowling match and we would play for hours on end until we ran out and our favorite part were when we see aerosmith playing on the stage and killing the living Hell out of NON soldiers Then on the way home we kept singing Eat the Rich and my dad shook his head and laughed a few years ago I bought the genesis version and it was horrendous I seen the Ps1 and it looks promising and I do not know about the pc version but I'm looking into it and then when was 15 they got rid of it but hopefully I'll download the arcade game on my computer, games like that never leave your mind I try to get every single version of the game SNES, PC, Sega Saturn, PS1 and Genesis. Revolution X is one of my favorite games ever.
Makes me wonder if there was some beef going on between Aerosmith and Nine Inch Nails or the Insane Clown Posse.
Oh! I guess that actually makes sense then. o_o
