Thanks for showing the entire game (I still remember it from the early 1980s, thought it very James Bond-ish, him peeling the creepy evil ninja fingers off his car while engaged in small talk)...A blast from the past.
I remember when when my father took me to the arcade every weekend. I was 11 years old in 1984 beating this game at Peter Piper Pizza. I still remember all the moves. I never knew it was a movie called Lupin 3 and The Castle of Cagliostro. I just saw on Netflix a few days ago.
I really wish they had released this as a DVD or Blu-Ray game like they did the Bluth games. Maybe as a combo with the film. Also Jigen's voice finally matches his chain-smoking.
@@Trashmantrash no. They just couldn't find the rights. I remember one of the discotek producers even said as such in a podcast. Still, surprised they didn't consider making a playthrough of the game and put that on the disc instead. Playthroughs are fair use, and any legal issues would be with the movie clips... which they have the rights to both films, so its a non-issue.
I have so many of the lines from this game in my head that surface at random times. I was 6-7 when this was in the arcades and this was the first one of its kind I was exposed to. It was utterly captivating to me as a child. Now that I clearly understand not only how these games were developed, but also the amazing and entirely original idea for an arcade-based business innovation - I love it even more. The instinct it takes to understand how magical this type of experience will be for children like myself, and to then be able to bring it to market, is a beautiful thing.
It should be noted that the Helicopter scene from the Mystery of Mamo clip in the game uses some audio from the Frontier Enterprises dub, which is why the sound quality sounds different from the rest of the game.
I just played this game at Galloping Ghost Arcade…I hadn’t even seen the arcade cabinet since probably 1989. Absolutely incredible to see and play it again!
I was 7 or 8 when this came to the arcades and I loved it. My mom went to work for TMS Entertainment (in the US) within the next 2 years and when I discovered the Lupin cartoons my mind was blown that this was where the game came from. This was the mid 80s, when anime was not ubiquitous on every streaming platform.
Actually, the scene with the helicopter chase is from an official dub of the first Lupin the Third film, Lupin vs the Clones aka The Mystery of Mamo. That dub was produced by the Japanese.
Cliff's car is a 1929 Mercedes SSK. I drove a Classic Motor Carriages replica, a Gazelle, for MANY years. The rear end was slightly modified to accommodate the VW Beetle engine, but mine otherwise looked just like Cliff's, only mine was dove gray on the body where his was yellow. Same red fenders. Fun little car.
Interesting enough, “Cliff” is actually a Japanese anime character called Lupin the Third. He’s a master thief who steals treasures all over the world. In the first part of the footage from the film, “The Castle of Cagliostro” he drives a Fiat 500 with his partner, Jigen Daisuke. And yeah! As you pointed out, his other car is a Mercedes Benz SSK! Really awesome stuff. The movie the Mercedes is from, “Mystery of Mamo”, paid a lot of attention to detail in the cars it depicted.
wait! this has a weird connection. the goonies was produced by steven spielberg, so he decided which game to put in that scene. he chose cliff hanger! which uses footage from lupin III: the castle of cagliostro. and in my blu-ray of the castle of cagliostro, in the back of the box, THERE'S A QUOTE FROM STEVEN SPIELBERG!
I was 9 when I played laser disc games. Though I love dragons lair and Space ace, cliff was my favorite. I'm still looking for a refurbished standup of Cliff.
You know, he looks a lot different on Between the Lions than he does in this game, just saying. Also, I think that this game is, of all things, a special version of one of the classic Lupin the 3rd anime series that was adapted to the Laserdisc format, as the title character looks an awful lot like Arsene Lupin III and his friend looks an awful lot like Daisuke Jigen that is in the car. The third character with the sword is Goemon Ishikawa XIII.
This is a cannibalisation on two films: The Castle of Cagliostro and The Mystery of Mano. Some people claim this game was so horrible, Studio Ghibi banned future video game adaptations of their films. Also, Cliff is Lupin 3rd.
Boy did I play the life out of this game. It was years before I had even heard of Lupin III. It didn’t take long to master. As you can imagine the programmers threw it together for a fast buck. Even more desperate was the similar game Super Don Quixote that was so easy I finished it the first time around on just one quarter.
Unreal pull. Unless you know the startup screen by heart there are no other indications what game that was. I've seen Goonies a lot and never recognized the game. And I played Cliff a lot. Thx!
This is a blast from the past for real - I would think about this game often but couldn't remember the name of it. I too grew up in the Arcade rooms in the malls and spent many quarters before getting Atari 2600, Colecovision then an Apple IIe - I was able to find Space Ace, Dragon's Lar I and II on a CD and play on a DVD player but this and the other Laser Disk Game Cobra Command have been stuck in my mind for decades - I used to watch other people compete on Starcade which used to come on Saturdays
my favorite part is that half way thru the game they just decide to throw in an unrelated clip from a completely different Lupin movie to pad out the game.
I remember playing this at the arcade in the 80s. It was weird but I loved it. I'm 53 with sons of my own and their ps5 may have better graphics but different memories. Anybody remember the cowboy live action laser disc game?
Il miglior laser game in assoluto. Ricordi incredibili in salagiochi a guardare qualcuno più bravo andare più avanti. Era veramente difficile. Ma a rivederlo ora grandi soddisfazioni. Chissà se avessero fatto il gioco di Conan! Chissà magari esiste!
This whole “video game” was just scenes from the anime movie “Castle of Cagliostro”. Almost no one in the US knew about Lupin or anime movies at the time, but they became really popular later.
Been looking for the name of this game for years! Remember seeing it as a kid. They actually have the scene with the yellow car in the arcade scene on Macross/Robotech.
Well it’s not a rip off since Tms is apart of this game and it would have been called lupin instead of cliff if not for copyright issues we thankfully don’t have to deal with now
I think it's interesting that they don't call Cliff a theif outright, yet they don't say he isn't either. Cliff Hanger is a theif, they just try to sort of downplay that.
thank you so much for sharing this. I played this in a Vancouver trailer park arcade/rec room when I was 13 and fell in love with it. So much better than Dragonslayer. At least at the end of this game they would tell you "you should have gone right" or whatever. thanks again, super dubious moniker youtuber
Just watched Castle of Cagliostro on the big screen maybe a month ago (the first time in over 20 years). We had a fansub of it on VHS, and we'd do it at least once per year at the club. That helicopter though.. I'm pretty sure it's not out of Cagliostro. The Count did have an autogyro. I am familiar with the game - I never played it (didn't have enough money to spend on video games) but I watched others play. This was YEARS before I actually watched Cagliostro. This video disc rip was being distributed by one of the fansubbing groups back in the 1990s, so I've seen this before, too.
I believe Toonami's aired part 2 (1977), part 4 (2015), and part 5 (2018). The footage from Cliff Hanger was taken from the first two Lupin films, The Secret of Mamo (1978), and the Castle of Cagliostro (1979).
@@masterdrewt6698 The Cliff Hanger arcade game came out in 1983, and from what I read, it probably didn't do too well. Laserdisc games were on the decline due to a slew of low quality releases (Cliff Hanger being one of them), and it seems like a ton of the Cliff Hanger machines had to be repurposed into other games due to a lack of sales. At the very least, it's a funny little piece of Lupin III history that's good for a laugh.
I remember seeing this game on a game show back in the 1980’s. It used to air on Saturday mornings before cartoons. Anyone remember the name of that show?
If I remember correctly, you don't actually control anything in the game but try to match YOUR moves to the CHARACTER'S moves. It removed the need to have the laserdisc pause to skip to the relevant part, but it also made for an uninteresting game (to play). The Don Bluth laserdisc games (Dragon's Lair 1 & 2 and Space Ace) were a huge cut above the rest. The lack of good content is one of the reasons that laserdisc games died out.
That's what made this game feel cheap. The one time I did get to play it as a kid I felt cheated how it doesn't give you any obvious cues like those games do. I tried it a few times got past the feet, feet, hands thing and that was about it. It was nowhere near as polished or immersive as Dragon's Lair or Space Ace.
@@omegasupreme5527 Yep. The problem was that Dragon's Lair was developed mostly in secret and appeared out of nowhere with this HUGE head start and other video game manufacturers were in a pickle to come out with SOMETHING as quickly as possible to compete. By the time they were able to put time and effort into making a worthwhile laserdisc game it was too late: The interest had substantially waned. The only other laserdisc game that I actually liked was Thayer's Quest, though I never finished it. By the way, there's a laserdisc emulator program called "Daphne". have you heard of it or used it?
JustWasted3HoursHere The problem with this game is that, where the animation got Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace was made to be a game, this game just spliced together clips from 2 different movies and called it a day
@@notoriouspee2062 Yep. The problem was that creating a laser disc game with custom animation takes time (DL took well over a year) and they were in a pinch to get something out there to compete with it. I remember how it blew peoples' minds when it first came out. My brother was one of those people who could do the whole game on one quarter, so tons of people would gather around when he played. Those were good times. But it seems as quickly as it arrived the newness wore off and laserdisc games disappeared.
6:51 That is not "Samurai". That is Guemon. Guemon was a real man in Japan; he was caught thieving and in the village there was a huge cauldron that all the food for the village was cooked in, and the cauldron had no name. Guemon was boiled to death in the cauldron, and from that time on, they called it a Guemon.
Trust me, the dub that clip, the 1979 dub of mystery of mamo, is from is even worse for the character names Jigen is called Dan Dunn Fujiko is named Margot Zenigata is detective Ed Scott Mamo is mamaux And goemon is samurai The only character with the same name is Lupin himself
As someone who was exposed to the original movies first, I'm not a fan of how this game portrays them. Some of the editing choices are... questionable at best. But hey, if people are acutally nostalgic for this game, I guess I can't be too mad. Still, I'd rather just watch the original films. After all, "Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro" is a masterpiece.
Many more would not know either that Lupin The third is based on a famous character in french littérature called Arsène Lupin, created by Maurice Leblanc.
@@julienbraudel7109 You're quite correct. Just why Lupin the 3rd is Arsene Lupin's grandson is--as far as I know--never explained in the TV series, films, or the manga--it's probably left to the viewer's imagination. Then again, I could be wrong. 🕵🕴
They made this game to hard, unlike Dragon's Lair. It didn't even try to tell you which way to go and your $.050 cents was gone in less than 30 seconds.
Why could they not add a lot of extra scenes. Like where is the part where Jigen shoots the tire during the car chase scene. And why is Goemon barely in the Castle of Cagliostro scenes. And why are they using the 1979 English dub audio for Mystery of Mamo? And why did they not include the second car chase scene from Mystery of Mamo. And why did not include the extra scenes from The helicopter chase? And why is the scene with Zenigata and Lupin inside the underground sewers of the castle not in the game? And where is the scene with Lupin and Fuijko meeting in the castle? And why dose it not show the note the gamblers had in there cars when the engine broke? And why is the ending not expanded on? Why do they not show the scene where Lupin gets a tree brick crushed on his head? Why is half of the finale from Castle of Cagliostro missing?
'Will the princess be forced to marry someone she can't stand?' I loved that line when I was a kid.

The problem was that creating a laser disc game with custom animation takes time (DL took well over a year) and they were in a pinch to get something out there to compete with it. I remember how it blew peoples' minds when it first came out. My brother was one of those people who could do the whole game on one quarter, so tons of people would gather around when he played. Those were good times. But it seems as quickly as it arrived the newness wore off and laserdisc games disappeared.
They could have just dubbed Castles of Castialgio into English and released it on video!
6:51 That is not "Samurai". That is Guemon. Guemon was a real man in Japan; he was caught thieving and in the village there was a huge cauldron that all the food for the village was cooked in, and the cauldron had no name. Guemon was boiled to death in the cauldron, and from that time on, they called it a Guemon.
Goemon
Trust me, the dub that clip, the 1979 dub of mystery of mamo, is from is even worse for the character names
Jigen is called Dan Dunn
Fujiko is named Margot
Zenigata is detective Ed Scott
Mamo is mamaux
And goemon is samurai
The only character with the same name is Lupin himself
This makes me so GODDAMN. UPSET

At least I didn't blatantly steal it
OK Zenigata...
Because it's badly dubbed early anime?
Sorry it's just seeing quality lupin content be butchered like this is a surreal experience at best and an tragedy at worst.
As someone who was exposed to the original movies first, I'm not a fan of how this game portrays them. Some of the editing choices are... questionable at best. But hey, if people are acutally nostalgic for this game, I guess I can't be too mad. Still, I'd rather just watch the original films. After all, "Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro" is a masterpiece.
I could never get past the casino guards :(
Lol "Jump!"
Lol! This dub is so bad, but also friggin hilarious. Jigen’s voice tho. Omg. I kinda love it! 😂😂
Once again i cut a worthless object. Some days you just don’t want to get out of bed. Very funny
This game was featured in an arcade were Max and Millia where challenging each other in Macross.

I wish we could see the input signals
Here's what my wisecrack wasn't for this game; "hey you maggot, you've just wrecked my Police helicopter and now you're going to pay big time."

L'incorreggibile Lupin ed è vero
Lupin The third is based on a famous character of french littérature called Arsène Lupin, created by Maurice Leblanc.
The characters are from the Lupin III tv series & movies. (Did many Americans know that in '83? Probably not.) 😁
Many more would not know either that Lupin The third is based on a famous character in french littérature called Arsène Lupin, created by Maurice Leblanc.
@@julienbraudel7109 You're quite correct. Just why Lupin the 3rd is Arsene Lupin's grandson is--as far as I know--never explained in the TV series, films, or the manga--it's probably left to the viewer's imagination.
Then again, I could be wrong. 🕵🕴
There was a dub of Mystery of Mamo for Television that was made in 1979.
Jigen sounds like a three pack a day smoker.
To be fair, he probably is a 3 pack a day smoker
@@SomeOrangeCat I mean he IS one...

I could never get passed the Ninjas.
My favorite game
Anyone here because they were also listening to old episodes of the Rooster Teeth Podcast?
This game is super hard !!!
RUclips POOP: LUPIN CLIFF HANGS HIMSELF
Unreal badass
They made this game to hard, unlike Dragon's Lair. It didn't even try to tell you which way to go and your $.050 cents was gone in less than 30 seconds.
This is now a running joke between me and my freind, it's so bad 💀
That time when Miyazaki Hayao made video games, and ‘murica destroyed it completely.
tatsujincorp Actually, these are clips from two different Lupin III movies! This dub, man. It’s just..atrocious.
@@rwiseart2269 hey ranen lol
@@tackytack Hi there! Good lord I made that comment 2 years ago?? Sure doesn’t feel that way.

What the fuck? This is the movie Castle Of Cagliastro.
this i got to see
i solved this game when i was 13...it took about 10 dollars in quarters...but i got there
Why could they not add a lot of extra scenes. Like where is the part where Jigen shoots the tire during the car chase scene. And why is Goemon barely in the Castle of Cagliostro scenes. And why are they using the 1979 English dub audio for Mystery of Mamo? And why did they not include the second car chase scene from Mystery of Mamo. And why did not include the extra scenes from The helicopter chase? And why is the scene with Zenigata and Lupin inside the underground sewers of the castle not in the game? And where is the scene with Lupin and Fuijko meeting in the castle? And why dose it not show the note the gamblers had in there cars when the engine broke? And why is the ending not expanded on? Why do they not show the scene where Lupin gets a tree brick crushed on his head? Why is half of the finale from Castle of Cagliostro missing?
