You’d never think this simple game be so addictive but man! Me and my friends would spend our entire weekend at the pizza place playing this and pinball or Galaxia. Think I spelled that wrong but you no.
I made a visit back to this same pizzeria a few years back and was amazed that they still had a table game and pinball machine and even had Astroids arcade! Love seeing places like this keep the same decor and everything. We had a few beers and a slice and hung out with the owners son whom still remembered us from the early 80’s.
That's pretty cool they're still operating games, I hardly ever see them operated anymore and of course I always notice :)
He's probably still getting royalties from Seinfeld ripping him off!
It's almost like a cross between pong and breakout.
Yup they were trying to get as creative as possible with it :)
Played this for hours after work at Rocky's Pizza on State St. in Madison in the 80's. As employees we knew how to 'break' into it and play for free. With the lights off this game was a sublime experience.
warlord is great - you must play this game! i was lucky enough to play it in the early 80's
Yeah it's pretty incredible in it's design, they really thought this one out well!
daang i know these version yeah, i had the atari home system and these stod in the arcade hall for all the crazy kids like me back in the day .nice work again m8
Thanks Twig Boy we appreciate it!
Never played Warlords. Space Invaders was awesome. Original box of Warlords; cool. I’d love the original box of Kaboom & Space Invaders. Thank you for this video. 👾
Thanks for watching Katwoman, see you on the next one!
The knight on the box of the 2600 version actually depicts one of the programmers at Atari at the time, Jim Huether. He wasn't the one who programmed it, but he had the right looks, obviously :D
Very funny... I'll bet they did that on a lot of the artwork...
@@LyonsArcade I wouldn't be surprised :D
A good strategy when playing others, is to catch the fireball on one side of your base, quickly spin your paddle so you quickly wrap around to the other side and then release at your opponent. Can catch them off guard and you can open a hole right at the bottom of their base.
I'm gonna have to try that, I always overthink it too much and try to think about where it's going to bounce back to me at....
I used to play phoenix on the cabinets
I never had warlord for the atari or seen it in an arcade it looks a cool game
We get a Phoenix in every once in awhile, the cabinets weren't the sturdiest though so a lot of them unfortunately have crumbled away over the years!
Man that game must have caused terrible screen burn as the image barely ever changed!
Yes everything on it is permanently burned in pretty severe, if you look at it closely you can see it while it's turned on. They put a piece of tinted plexi inside over the monitor to disguise it a little bit (from the factory)....
This is one where I actually can't decide whether the arcade or the 2600 version is better-looking. The 2600 one is affected by the graphical limitations of the console, but they came up with a really slick look to deal with that. They both play great. I have them on a console-based emulator but there, there's the problem that these paddle games just don't play right with a modern analog-stick game controller.
If you think about it the time period from 1980 to 1981 things were really jumping, so in year after the arcade version they probably improved some of the stuff even though it was technically limited on the home console. Such an interesting time period in video game history....
@@LyonsArcade Was just playing the 2600 version again--it's a simpler game; the whole mechanic where catching the ball degrades your own wall but gives you more damage isn't there. The bits in the manual about your warlord's ghost are there because they just represented killing your guy by setting his palette to black! When the screen flashes white, you can still see him.
Man this game is cool! I've heard of it but never seen it before. I could see how this would be a lot of fun to play with four people.
Yeah it's pretty special, pretty rare though... they only made 1200 or so cocktails, and even less upright versions.
''Its like they are trying to take my quarter'' lol!
Kids don't know :)
the console version of this you could play 2 or 4 players with paddle controls & you could change the difficulty level too
I never played it too much back in the day...
I also have no memory of this game. Ron, I think you did a magnificent job playing this against 3 computer players! I agree, the game cheated right off the bat to try and kill you! Is there a setting for easy/med/hard/black knight? LOL
Great video, many thanks for bringing this to our attention!
Thanks RodMan I appreciate you watching... I don't think there's a difficulty setting, nope!
On the home game I used to catch it, then whip the dial of my controller all the way to the end and fire the ball. The computer never had a chance to block. Great game! Thanks for showing it off.
I wonder if your trick would transfer to the arcade version???? :)
Only remember this for the 2600. Thought it was made specfically for the 2600 paddles. No memory of the coin-op.
Now you know :)
Right on man! Another great machine saved and restored, well done. I'm glad it works really well now, are you planning on selling it?
Edit: I saw the previous video and I really enjoyed it.
Thanks Haze.... yes we were just fixing this for a customer, we usually do sell the games we fix though...
Just amazing! I remember my childhood time. This hardware is insane!
Thanks for watching Colecao Nintendo!
I remember this on my atari man that is a great lookin game for a cocktail 👍🏼
Thanks Emmanuel we appreciate it!
I have a good friend that has the cocktail version of warlords. Also has a Bally Future Spa. He has a great arcade.
He's got all my recent good ones :)
Well, that Atari catalog brings memories rushing back.. I was probably about 4 years old the last time I held one of those. Thank you for that :)
No problem that's what we do :)
I thought the story was going to say that the winner will return to the kingdom as the heir, but no, apparently they battle for eternity.
Maybe the kingdom switches to a republic?
Probably!
your channel is FANTASTIC! back in 1983 i was a freshman at edinburgh university scotland. used to play , asteroids, pacman, popeye , space invaders - i espcially LOVED warlord - which i THINK they had in "Teviot" student union downstairs in 1983 and 1984. i used to be able to "clock " missile command - when you hit 810,000 - it would go mad and give you 150 bonus cities. i also got really good at popeye - it has a technique to play all day. love MAME on the pc as all these old games are still playable. Teviot student union still exists and its totally open to the public during the edinburgh festival fringe. unfortunatley the "arcade " (in the basement near the gents toilet ) - is now a cafe. you sir are actually VERY good at what you do - your circuit analysis is spot on - you fault find in EXACTLY the right way. i love your youtube content. if im ever in south carilina - im gonna pop into your shop. best wishes from manachester uk. ps your youtube style reminds me of "ave" - he is a mad canadian youtuber who reviews tools - hes a bit adult and often says "focus you f*ck!" when his camera wont focus. i would love to hear you say that.
You know somebody else said Ave sounds just like me! He must be a hell of a good looking man LOL
It's kind of sad when you go back to your old arcade and they've changed it into something else... but you know, if you look hard enough you can still see the arcade there, you just can't touch it :) Thanks for watching, we'll see you on the next video!
The AI was totally teaming against you. Four humans players and this game it incredibly fun for how primitive it may appear. Warloards, Kaboom , and Maze Craze where the games we would spend hours playing.
I think you're right, they were ganging up on me to get another quarter!
Holy shit thats frustrating! :D That thing would eat quarters for breakfast
It's really fun though because you get it in your head that you can beat it :)
I still have this game on my Atari 2600, but this arcade version looks soooooo much better!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Up until 96 or so all the arcade games looked better than the home ones :)
Psychiatrist: When did you start having anxiety issues?
You:..........
How do you create teams in warlords 4 player games ?
i miss playing the cocktail game at pizza hut Menand NY
Was it this same one, or just cocktail games in general? I know they used to put them in Pizza Huts a lot back in the day!
yes it was July 8 1985
Back in the day when you could sell a game cart without even a picture of what the actual game looks like on the box lol
Yup, lol people would buy anything there for awhile :)
Fun game ! Cool repair (previous vid) :-)
Thanks Roger, we appreciate you checkin' it out!
@@LyonsArcade Great channel, checking each new vid :) Thanks for sharing this with us !
Looks like a fun game, havent seen or played this one before
I think a lot of the barcades are buying them up because people want to play them...
I only remember the Atari 2600 version. Never knew it was a regular arcade game.
Apparently they didn't make a ton of them!
That is an awesome game,cab everything man
Yeah, pretty sweet, right?
Remember playing it at the local Pizza Hut. Amazing. I want one so bad .
They're pretty rare, hard to come by this particular title!
I wouldn't mind seeing your workshop, do you have a lot of testing gear such as oscilloscopes, signal generators, dim bulb testers, variacs etc?
Not really most of our testing is done with a logic probe or a multi meter, just depends on what it is. And most of it we don't do on the bench, we do in the game!
@@LyonsArcade Cool, then I guess repairing these machines aren't as complicated as they're made out to be then
I totally forgot about this game, but I spend a lot of time on this back in the day.
Thanks for watching Steve, we appreciate it!
Love it! Been to your store a couple of times, such a cool place!
Thanks ArcadeUSA we appreciate you watching :) See you next time you're down....
This game is great. Its fun as hell, same with the 2600 version. Favorite early era (1972-1984) arcade games are pretty much the same as every else's. At this point the wheat from the chaff has been separated. Faves: Warlords, Pac man, Ms pac man, centipede, millipede, missle command, burger time, frogger, donkey kong, gravitar, pong, asteroids, space invaders, defender, robotron 2084, battle zone, red baron, Crystal castles, dig dug, Galaga, and Sinistar.
Damn we are old lol 😂 takes you back Abit
It's been awhile :)
I have been noticing that you have a lot of troubles with capacitors, which understandable and expected in these vintage machines. Paul Carlson on Mr. Carlsons Lab here on YT is an electronics engineer and does electronic and tube gear repair and testing, and has home brew test gear for testing caps, and forecasting life expectancy. Those plans, videos, etc are on patreon, but with a $5 subscription that's a great deal.
So skip your Venti 1 pump caramel, 1 pump white mocha, 2 scoops vanilla bean powder, extra ice frappuchino with 2 shots poured over the top (apagotto style) with caramel drizzle under and on top of the whipped cream, double cupped froufrou drink at the diabetes store for one day!
The best 4 player arcade imo. So much fun!!!
It's something else!
Cool game 😎 nice
Thanks Daniel!
One of the funnest games all time. 4 player mayhem. We always called it Battle Ball hahaha.
Had one the legs can be stretch out so u can be standing up
Oh yeah I forgot about that... I should have mentioned it in the video!
These machines bring back happy childhood memories, I not sure if I remember this game but I remember space raiders on these kind of machines, thanks pal.
I never saw this game it looks ace!
Pretty cool in every way :)
thanks for this.my dad always told me how he used to play this game but got to see it now!
Warlords is so good :)
Nice concept for a game....
Great vid Joe! Keep em coming.
Thanks for watching, many more videos on the way :)
Pickin on you like reck it Ralph "just doing my job sir" 🤣
I forgot how awesome this game was ty
Thanks for watching, eyes wide open!
Damn that game looks still awesome! Especially with 4 players.
Very cool design....
I can see how this would be a great game at a bar or casual eating place ! Thanks for sharing =)
No problem OneFoYo, we appreciate you watching as always :)
I played this game for hours at our small town local pizza shop. Good times.
Think of the money it must have made :)
I love that 2600 wood-look.
Yeah, all the wood grain is cool, a lot of people hate it though. I like it.
Sweet!
That's what we thought too!
This is one of the best classic games out there and one that'll stand the test of time.
It's especially good with a projection screen (over a rocky/medieval static bottom) or emulation with this.
A game like this is a "Cocktail table" classic that if you have a restaurant/bar, some space near a food court in a mall will have people playing regularly for years. Places that had these tended to have customers up in arms when/if it got removed. Good attract. The game is fun to play on its own but funner indeed with other people and while simple by today's standards they made such perfect use of what they had no real need to improve/redo it.
Another game that gets a cultish following is Joust. When I was a munchkin gamer the big boys at the bars that later became arcades or split from them - the adults shooed me away from joust. I got to kick their a-- in Karatae Champ or especially Wizard of Wor - but Joust stayed in the bar area coz the customers, the regular always wanted it nearby...
it's very well designed, gameplay wise!
@@LyonsArcade It'd be cool to see this made but Warlords - ruclips.net/video/ZS4bERO69Wo/видео.html
An overlay of small boxes to make a pixel grid that shoot up or down based on one type of solenoid - while other semiconductor magnets shoot the 'fireballs' around the stage... Be a lot more complex than the tabletop but physical Pong but cool.
25:00 kinda like Windjammers, eh?
I've never heard of that one but it looks cool, and a lot like a Pong game :)
@@LyonsArcade checked out some videos too and the first one I clicked called it out on the pongness too, hadn't heard that online before ruclips.net/video/27sukh5QUvc/видео.html it's been gaining a sort of cult classic status over the years.. def source for some cool halloween costumes
it's like a cross between brick breaker and Pong
that's a really fun one. it's time for some of these games to see a remake!
Apparently a few years ago they made one for the Xbox Live and Playstation online services, I haven't played it though :)
Love it
Thanks Nathan for watching!
Happy New year 2020🎉
Thank you Eminel, Happy New Year!
@@LyonsArcade game on Joe game on
Why is the one shield a different shape. It’s almost like the sprite is corrupted.
They all have a little cross on them, but they're different colors... on that one shield the color contrast is enough that you can make it out, on the other ones in person you see it's the same but on the video it didn't pick up the contrast and it looks like they're a solid color.
They are all two-colored shields with a little cross on them in a different color. The colors are blowing out a little in this video image, but that one has a dark background.
Love this game.
