Episode Notes:
1. Footage captured from MAME.
2. These were initially done a few years back, so some information may be outdated.
3. Now in 4K with improved sound.
A good number of these I play with my sons on our WiiU. The WiiU is a great retro machine.
Raiden 2 arcade version is a technical pearl of its time, the shrapnel falling everywhere and doing damage....Brilliant
The PS1 port is pretty good too!
Moving the steady uploads lately, always a pleasure to watch your videos! It’s greatly appreciated
Steady uploads are easy when you're just re uploading old stuff
@@beardsarejustfacepubes8620 😰😰😭😭😭😱😱🥱🥱🥱
Thank you for reminding me of Metamorphic Force. I have been trying to remember that game for years. I loved playing that in the arcade. Probably haven't seen or played it since early 2001 when I went on a family vacation.
Lots of memories with that game.
Never saw it in the wild…played and beat it on MAME…very solid game
SLX, I love your style of not overly produced video. It feels more relatable somehow.
My all time favorite arcade game will forever be Revolution X. I'm a sucker for light gun games, and the Aerosmith music was always blasting in the arcade back in the day.
20:34 ive been looking for this! The hero arrives on a Harrier, lands and starts fighting enemies on the ground. Horizontal scroller. Thanks for posting this🎉
How do you keep coming out with this fantastic stuff? I'm 42 and love what you do. All these games bring back sooooo many memories. Cheers 🍻
36 and I know the feeling especially vol.3 when he said "getting your ass kicked in seconds" the Asian bros inserting a coin while I'm murdering the cabinet on SF2 turbo comes to mind lol
same 43 here
I remember hanging out at the arcade, collecting all the finishers for Mortal Kombat 2 & 3
Still waiting on that Kano morph!
@@bckuptvshbckuptvsh7730 1980 was a great year!!!😁
Osman/Cannon Dancer is going to be released on ps4, ps5, and switch. You can pre-order a copy on Strictly Limited Games now.
RoboCop on the arcade was one of the raddest games out there, including Bad Dudes...
You can imagine my disappointment when I ended up owning both of them for the NES lol!
Fantastic work on these episodes SLX, much appreciated. I can totally relate to the feeling and the nostalgia, thinking back on what the arcades of the 80's meant to me as a kid. The fun and excitement of seeing new arcades, the whole atmosphere. Like a "mancave" - for very young men, LOL
I'm a pretty big music nerd and 59:18 is the same picture of the frog from the cover of Silverchair's album "Frogstomp" excellent album I could never forget that frog
Love your channel brother.
Arcade game's threw the imagination of a child's mind is one of the greatest memories any person can have
Right down to the smell of the popcorn and sticky joy sticks.
No internet just trail and error.
Truly the best days❤️❤️❤️
From 1988-1991 the best part of summer was going to Vegas and playing arcades at the casino.
Ya know, I remember just about everywhere had some kind of arcade cabinet. When I was a kid though the best place was this Mexican restaurant called Dos Hombres they had Mrs. Pacman, Golden Axe, and Centipede. Many weekends were spent with my friend and I feeding quarters into them while my friends Dad had a beer and watched the race on TV.
Lord X strikes again! Dude your work is untouchable! Thanks for the reminders and nostalgia trips. You reminded me of so many games that I’d forgotten. Saint Dragon, Dragon Breed and so many more. Keep up the great work dude. Even though I’m in another country I feel that we all had similar experiences. When you talk about arcades it just takes me back. Just watching this video as I type this wondering if you will show a game called Wild Fang, a game I fell in love with back in my high school days in an arcade hidden in the back of a kebab shop here in London. We used to go there every lunchtime and blow our lunch money. Arcades or food? You decide! 😂😂😂
Keep up the great work!
nice selection of games !! man i miss arcades , the excitement of knowing if you dont like this game , its ok therell be another (better) game coming next !!!
PLEASE GIVE US A PORT OF WILLOW ARCADE!!!
Did the entire video in one sitting. Amazing content.
I remember playing Pacman, Galaga, Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, Popeye, but my first preferred one was Iron Horse. Loved that game. Then games like Rastan, POW, Rigar, Ghost n Goblins, Karnov (don't remember the order), Robocop; MTNT, The Simpsons, then it was all fighting games, SF 1, SF2, Pit Fighter, MK, Xmen, MvsC 2, etc.
Excellent video! Like you said, some of these video games would be lost if not for emulation and highlight videos like yours. Thanks for all your work on this!
The ninja kids is my favorite arcade game ever, definitely deserved to be on this list
It's funny how due to hardware limitations these games are mostly all clones of each other with the odd trick up Its sleeve. Compared to now, we still have a tone of clones but they're all so different too
I honestly think that the SNES/NSFC could have easily handled Space Gun with its Mode 7 Chip, which could easily do something like this in a game. Also, speaking of Taito games that were from the arcade that got good home ports, Cameltry got one for that system under the title of On the Ball.
Have you ever played Brute Force? Total hidden gem most don't know about.
I wasn't really interested in arcades as a kid because I couldn't afford it.
My first video game console was the SNES that my parents won 🏆 from Pizza 🍕 Hut back in the early 90's, we also won a new TV the same year. We couldn't afford very much back then
Osman being an unofficial Strider sequel is about as on-the-nose as possible given what it looks like. If you had just shown the game footage with no game title or commentary, my immediate first thought would have been "Wait, there was a Strider SEQUEL?!" Nearly every aspect of the game oozes Strider, so "former Capcom employees" makes all the sense in the world. Seems like an entire former Capcom dev team given how consistent the game's visuals, sounds, play, etc. are with the original.
Boogie Wings looks awesome :)
*HELP* I'm looking for a game that I played once at a mall around 1990s. My memory isnt clear of the game unfortunately. It was a multiplayer 4 person game where the players roamed around in a maze world trying to find a boss room to fight and escape. The cameras perspective was a birdseye view much like Ultima Online, but unlike Ultima Online the players characters were larger and reminded me of Indiana Jones. You had weapons like a whip and I think a gun you could pick up plus soda pop cans you could find to replenish health. Does this sound familiar to anyone? If so please include game names so I can look them up and see :)
16:35 I wanna go to the IceCeCrem shop!
Great video!!
Sega Lord X you mentioned Charlottesville. Do you still live in the area?
Shenandoah Valley these days.
I would say boogie wings is a steampunk game🤔
Can someone tell me the game that was like Galaga but it was like birds or something coming over a horizon, name started with x or z I think, has haunted me for years! P.s Karnov was hardcore
Need a list.
Robocop is one of the easiest arcade games I ever played. I could easily clear the entire game to the end credits on one quarter (including 100%'ing every bonus round). There are a couple tricks you can use like saving the super gun for the bosses, they go down in seconds.
Remember: winners don't do drugs
BUMP N' JUMP
dude how ya forget double dragon and Wrestle Mania
Growing up in the arcades during the 80's through the early 2000's and remembering all sights, sounds, smells, and feeling can't truly be understood unless you lived through those eras of arcade gaming memories I'll always treasure my entire life.
It was a great era!

You are welcome, folks.
Took me two days to watch the entire video, and after a lot of jumping and forwarding to where I left of, I could have just looked here ...
Thank you for the effort, my friend!
This post needs to be pinned to the top!
Awesome, thanks!
Goddamn, I miss these.. It wasn't just the games it was the whole thing, the moody arcade environment and plethora of dinky bleepy futuristic sounds around you, the unique look and structure of the machine you play, the fact that it was dedicated to that game and often had controls which only ever worked for that game, the irreplaceable instant and solid haptic feel and response of the buttons and controls (when they, rarely, weren't absolutely b*ggered), the super-bright dazzling CRT colours, the importance of getting the top score even though you had no concept that the world beyond that room didn't care, the damn smell of coins and grease..!! Why, oh why, have they faded out so much? We need arcades BACK!!!
I grew up in the arcades, I made some good friends there. Wouldn't change it for the world, though I think the world changed far to much. We used to meet people, socialize, and form bonds that lasted a lifetime. Sometimes change isn't good, which is definitely the case here. My friend and I have been friends since we were 16, we have been since first playing Street Fighter 2 when it was first released. We're in our late 40's now, and still like playing forgotten worlds. Great list of games btw x, me and my friends spent a lot of time on the x men arcade game, aliens, and especially the neo geo arcade games. Loved the RoboCop games to, so many great memories
X Men arcade is fantastic. The arcade was the social spot for kids cause we couldn’t go anywhere and parents felt it was safe
We would go to the truck stop near us and they always had a dedicated arcade room there disappearing but like you said there's no feeling like winning a game with a crowd that's into it
@@andypancini2130 it really is a lost part of Americana and you did definitely need to be there to know what old fuckers like us are talking about, haha.
Straight truth!
Willow has always been one of my favorites. I think it's rarely discussed because as a licensed title, it's never shown up for purchase outside of the arcade cabinet. And in those days, we were all at the mercy of what our local arcades had in stock. I discovered it in the late 90s with MAME and it's been in my top 5 ever since
I seen a willow arcade I think in a 7 eleven in fort Myers Florida. Probably over 25 years ago. Didn't play it though. I was too cheap. Now can play it on mame.
It easily looks fantastic for the year it was released! I’m blown away by the color…I never saw it in the wild and Willow is one of my all time favorite movies so I would have noticed for sure…I can’t beat it on MAME! the flying wizard boss is so hard.
Can I also get a shoutout for the merchant screen music? It’s beautiful!
Haha, my best friend's mom worked at a laundry mat. And me and him would ride our bikes up there and she would give us all the quarters we needed! Late 80's memories are something every kid could experience just once❤️
That’s awesome bro
That sounds more fun than sniffing panties from the service wash bags.
Probably.
After only five minutes I can tell this will be one of my favorite RUclips videos ever I’m gonna commit to watching it all the way through over the weekend ✊💫🎮🏆
Watching this video makes me miss the arcades. There was something special about going to the movie theater, mall, pizza parlor or the skating rink and enjoying you favorite arcade games.
Yup. 5 dollars could get you hours of fun. It was a cool place to make friends.
Amen!
I agree. I grew up loving arcade games in the 80s and 90s and man do I miss them. I remember a skating rink my dad and I use to go to years ago before he passed away had Primal Rage and 2 other arcade cabinets. I can't remember what the other 2 were at the moment but I thought it was so funny that they had Primal Rage because the lady who owned the skating rink was very religious and that game was so bloody and violent 🤣 guess she never realized what kind of game it was. Lol.
I remember seeing Dragons Lair for the first time and was blown away! Also years later, Sega mage a holographic game with cowboys I think. I can't remember the name of it but it definitely drew a crowd it cost a whole dollar to play ( we're talking early 90s money now) so not many people played it but my dad and I tried it and we weren't sure exactly what to do but we both were amazed at the technology of it.
@@blackenedheart9592 Time Traveler
Arcades are the great untapped retro wellspring of gaming. So so many hidden gems
I really hope that the movement to preserve Arcades as an "amusement park" type attraction picks up steam. These classics would be lost(especially the licensed titles like Robocop or Capcom's AVP) if not for that. Videos like this only help. Thank you SLX!😍
I totally agree with u. More ppl with money need to make this happen. I belive the resurgence of the old style arcade would make a ton of money. These old games are some of the best games ever made. But thats just my humble opinion.
@@littlejimmy5370 I could not agree more! Thank you for replying😀
I still play Arcade Games to this day. I don't know why I still find them more appealing then most modern games.
No 15 minute cutscenes that are unskippable?
No DLC and season passes?
No micro transactions?
Arcade games have appeal for the simple 'put in a quarter and play' no filler style of instant gratification.
I have more money to buy games as an adult, but I play less games even though I buy more.
Modern games you gotta sit down with for an hour before you get anywhere.
Mandatory tutorials, prolonged cutscenes, I don't have the patience to wade through all that just to be able to play a game that I might not end up liking anyways.
Arcade games were designed to grab your attention as you walked thru the arcade. Modern games expect you to sit thru dozens of minutes of "supposedly" engaging world building and try to be cinematic. I'm sorry, I don't watch many movies, I don't want my games to pretend they're movies.
Always wanted to build my own arcade cabs running mame and open up a little unit fitted out like 80/90s style arcades, UV and neon lights ect.
robocop, aliens, blade master, boogie wings, karate blazers, ninja gaiden, bay route, desert assault, night striker,thunder fox, willow , black tiger,demons world, elevator action returns
To this day I remember someone calling me a whiz when I was 5 years old playing golden axe at the arcade.
Really loved the 45 minute ad for a Duck Dynasty podcast 5 minutes into this video
Mame has some truly hidden gems. Just the Neo Geo alone has enough games to keep someone occupied for weeks and weeks. I'm still finding arcade games I've never seen or heard of and I've been using mame for over 20 years
Robocop was actually one of the few games that was released on home systems first, then ported over to the arcade afterwards. That is why the arcade game credits Ocean Software, who produced the home versions.
My biggest regret (well not really) is selling my arcade Aliens cabinet due to moving. Sold it for like $100 and it was mint
don't feel bad ,I had a 4 player spider man cabinet and got rid of it for exactly the same amount,so stupid
That’s life sometimes….we all share moments like that, but it’s not the end of the world.
I love Boogie Wings! Total hidden arcade gem no one talks about.
I'm well happy I watched this vid just to learn about it's existence.
Great video as always sega lord x I've watched so many ur video u have inspired me to to start my own channel 🤣🤣🤣🤣 of great moments of my gaming life
I'm a 80s kid at heart
And Arcade gaiming in the 80s was awesome!!
The reason I got a sega genesis was to play arcade games at home like afterburner and altered beast....
fascinating...
Loved the arcades in the 90s just hated it when your favourite arcade machine was replaced with another lol. Especially if it didn't have a home port like Scud Race, Robocop (Dataeast) and so many more.
All of your series are top notch thank you Sega Lord X been watching them for years so it’s good to see these compilations of your hard work
A heads up for anybody looking for an affordable arcade panel that is compatible with PC, Switch, Android etc. - I've been very happy with my 8BitDo Arcade Stick. Feels solid, buttons feel good, stick feels solid and apparently the stick and buttons can be swapped out if you want. Got mine on sale for ~$70. I'm not affiliated with 8BitDo or anything, I've just been really enjoying MAME with this stick lately.

My dude!…You’ve got some seriously “deep cuts “ on your list! I genuinely appreciate your commentary and overall appreciation for these games. Great job man👊🏽
Happy to see Boogie Wings on the list. What a weirdo game. I love it for that.
BoogieWings was/is available to purchase on the iiRcade home arcade system. Some great pics on this first video, I really enjoyed it. Blade Master is underrated but as you say it needed a magic system badly.
Man, I love your channel so much. I watch it all the time. Will make make more of these arcade tressures please? Will you please review Warrior Blade: Rastan Saga part 3?
Thanks man ❤
This is a series you should definitely come back with, I’ve got so many ideas because of it.
You should have a list of the games mentioned in the notes. Would be really helpful.
These uploads are nuts. Especially these lengthy videos. It seems you are doing it full time and your time and effort comes through in your content nicely. Great job!
This series definitely needs a continuation. I hope that Volume 6 can come. Your videos have really helped us discover new arcade games that we weren't able to play in our childhood times.
Boogie Wings and Osman look incredible!
Dude, how you described going to the movies to also enjoy new arcades just HIT THE SPOT!! Thank you for the wonderful memory.
I Loved robocop too bro , so much I actually own this cabinet its in my garage arcade
50:37 we all need this in our lives
Nice. Was looking for arcade classics to play on my Steam Deck
Playing Choplifter! and Golden Axe with my dad was a good time.
Thumbs if your going to MAME and made a folder for all these . I now I am 👍🏻
What games warrant the 2 dislikes?
I gotta watch this again and take notes on which roms to add to the collection.
Cool compilation, I do not agree with games listed on volume 5 at all however.
NIZE
I grabbed a bowl of my favorite sugar fill cereal to enjoy watching this
The outfoxies!! A small dive outside of the university I was going to had this arcade game!
NebulasRay looks great. I had never heard of it. I'll definitely give it a try.
Loving these new series spot lighting classic arcade games. Watching these videos brings back early memories of playing fantastic beloved classics for me.
I own the arcade pcbs of aliens and robocop. I had to have em
Same, the arcade is where I really started as well. Now, you joined this thing of ours (gaming) a bit before me. Sure I saw Galaga and Pac Man machines but that was more of a rarity. What got me was Space Harrier, Shinobi, Punch Out, Afterburner, Zaxxon, Ghosts n' Goblins ect...Not too long after that in late 1986 my divorced parents each picked up a home console for me.
My mother and stepfather purchased an Nes as they didn't want me playing on their "superior" Atari consoles (2600 and 5200). They saw the Nes as more of a toy than a console and back then everyone considered Japanese anything as inferior...oh how things did change. My dad was a bit more altruistic about it as he was the one that actually took me to my first arcades. He knew how much I was drawn to Sega arcade machines and thought it would be better to get me a Master System for his home. The original plan was to get me another Nes and I'm glad he didn't. We played on that Master System so much we wore the cobtrol pads out (no joke). When the Genesis hit in 1989 my mom and dad joined forces. She purchased the console and he the games. This is how things worked until I was old enough to work and afford my own games. What a time to be a gamer!
"This thing of ours" was that a Sopranos reference?
@@southsidesaiyan8641
It's a mafia, Sopranos, Goodfellas, omerta, ect...thing. It sounds cool and it fits as we're all gamers. What can I say I'm a wise a**. ;)
Sega had so many good games!! I like the nes but I love the Sega master system and genesis was good too
This series helped me fill out my MAME collection. 👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽
What a way to kick off the series with Robocop. Lover the movies and the game was great. I was lucky enough to have a cabinet in the small placed I lived in.
An hour and 28 minutes. I love you. Thank you.
The beat em up version of Ninja Gaiden was released (albeit stripped down) on the Atari Lynx, and was pretty hype.
An hour and a half video from sega lord X? Time to break out the popcorn
Check out these arcade games which are absolute gems. Aliens vs Predator, Double Dragon, TMNT, Narc, King Arthur, Raiden Fighters, Don Don Pachi
You can't call rom collecting some selfish activity. These arcades are obviously unattainable, and to own cartridges and consoles from the 80s and 90s is not a gaming affair, it's an antique collector affair. And to even connect these systems to modern peripherals would be tough.... Emulation IS A TRIBUTE to these old games and allows us to conveniently play these systems without becoming an antique collector.
Karnov actually had a pretty good NES/FDS port, and the NES/FDS version of the first TMNT arcade game added in enemies, stages, and bosses as well, and ditto for the FDS port of Altered Beast (yes, it actually existed for that system). Also, U.N. Squadron/Area 88, Black Tiger, The King of Dragons, and Knights of the Round all had very good SNES/NSFC ports.
35:23 I lived in a small town. Street Fighter came out, and it was rare to even MEET A PERSON that had seen street fighter. So I made buddies just by finding my arcade buddies.... My mom did cleaning jobs in bigger towns... Id have her drop me off at a Walmart. The only place that had a street fighter machine. I'd have to make 5 bucks last an hour and a half.
Honestly, I do not mind the Boss Rush of the NSTB-U port of Metamorphic Force, but the gradually depleting life bar like the ones that were in, ironically enough, Captain America and the Avengers from Data East, which was released four years prior, now THAT is an inexcusable mechanic in a video game, like a pay to play scheme mechanic level of bad, and it was inexcusable in 1989 and it most certainly was inexcusable in 1993 (and Mystic Warriors, which was made later that same year, made the same change in NTSB-U territories as well). Also, the Boss Rush thing was already in X-Men, which was released a year prior, and I honestly found that this game was a. too short, b. borrowed too many things from previous Konami titles (like 1960s and 1970s Disney animated movies did so often to older Disney movies) without adding anything new to the mix, c. lacked decent combo systems for the characters in the game, d. lacked weapons that could be used in combat, and e. it is a game that is in 1993, so they also needed to add enemy life bars, not only for the bosses, but also for the underlings/thugs, as well in the game!
I wonder why Xbox doesn't have an emulator
