House of the dead 2, marvel vs capcom, and time crisis. These were the games i play in arcade, i dont have the skills to finish this game but when someone did people actually cheered.
TC2 was amazing. I got to the point where I could beat the arcade cabinet on one continue max. A little rusty now but even when I run it I can get to about the 2nd world and 3 acts deep before falling. Miss this
Gman out of nowhere 4 years later. To actually address your comment, yeah there's exceedingly little good arcade capture footage: this video, Fighters' Choice Arcade and Smraedis' 1CC Marathon video. The only thing I could criticise is that it's excessively bright and that really detracts from the lighting. Not sure if that's due to the capture software or Smraedis turned it up on the machine or during editing or what. Funnily enough, Fighters' Choice Arcade's TC2 video is really dark. Nevertheless, I love this video and the skill on display is out of this world. This inspired me to try and really git gud at the game.
The machine gunner at 5:09 never cease to amaze me. He is firing an assault rifle on full auto at what is typically close range, failing to score any hits on the VSSE agents yet the VSSE agents needed six seconds (you can see the hit at 5:15) to kill him. A master player will kill the same machine gunner in less than a second.
this games art style is so on point it's got so much character, so much pizazz crushed into less than 20 minutes of gameplay that most modern games don't have.
@@Smraedis Can you do the original 1999 Arcade version of Crisis Zone, the Police 911 games,Tsurugi a.k.a Blade of Honor, Mazan: Flash of the Blade, and World Combat a.k.a Warzaid?
The arcade version of TC2 still is one of my favorite arcade games of all time and I learned a few things I didn't know watching this like that first +10,000 on Wild Dog in 3-2 while he's attacking your partner, knew about it when he's set to punch you but not that one. And have to appreciate the No Miss setup with Buff on Stage 2.
Still a great game even it was released 25 years ago. For me, combo is always the important factor for Time Crisis games. Anyway, wonderful gameplay as usual!
I remember playing this game (and Daytona USA) sooo much in summer, I still feel the goosebumps after reaching the third stage!! Anyway, once I was playing the last level, very accurate and shooting fast AF, I lost my last life in the satellite stage and I run out of money.... damn!! When I turned back, a lot of people was watching me playing. Man, those were times!
Same, it's challenging without feeling unfair. One of the few arcade games that prioritized players actually having fun and didn't just try to squeeze every quarter out of them
@@SF-ow9ym There is a great gap between the two, since in HofD you dont have a pedal to reload, but have to shoot outside the screen instead while being exposed 100% of the time. I never got past the final boss without 2 credits being used (6 lives)
I remember playing this as a young kid while on vacation... i got really good, since my parents would give me some euros to play with while they relaxed. I got good, really good, but i felt the game was so unforgiving, i had to kill every redshirt so quickly or they would hit me, so i had to learn where they spawned. Then i felt the last boss was impossible, as i couldn't kill it before it killed me multiple times. Now as a grown up... i discovered that it is possible to take cover. I must have been really good at this game if i managed to reach the last boss without dying... good god no wonder this game was so challenging...
did you enjoy the recoil felt in the gun at the arcade? almost felt real back then this game was like 50 cents to play one game. They made a ton of money on kids back then. those quarters were spent fast.
@@laturista1000 i honestly dont remember any recoil. I only remember having to really quickly aiming to the side to reload since i had to shot so darn fast to get past objects like the tumbling barrels. Or to "kill" the first boss before he hit me.
you're awesome for uploading this. i've been wanting to see the original version of this game for so long. i honestly found the arcade version more charming to play than the ps2. Would it be possible to upload the demonstration screens as well?
Thanks, yeah there is something about the arcade version. There are quite a lot of attract mode sequences in the arcade version, so I'm not sure how I could do that.
I remember finishing this in Mallorca when I was a teen and all the kids were watching me as they hadn’t seen near the end lol, that guys laugh is ingrained in my soul. Obviously not on my first attempt though I’d played it a lot and learnt most of what’s to come.
Great playthrough as always! Was so glad and excited to see this in my feed on the day of its upload; been waiting long for a direct capture footage of Time Crisis II arcade version so to speak, and well, it was worth it. Keep up the good work, can't wait for your future playthroughs!
Smraedis. You were my teacher in time crisis. thanks to you I always put my name nik in games 1 2 3 and 4 in 1st place. You are a great player of this type of games. Grettings of argentina.
Please record Crisis Zone (arcade version) with an HD capture like this video, there are none videos that show a crystal clear crisp gameplay footage like yours, it's so impossible to find any out there. And you did a fantastic job by the way! @Smraedis Arcade Superplays
For fellow high-scorers, here's things he missed: In case you don't know; bonus areas in stage 1 and 3 unlocks by shooting the first boss' hat off at each encounter during the second area, against Wild Dog, you have to shoot him 45(?) times before he transitions to the last area. Stage 1 is pretty clean, only that all boats can be triple-shot, but hard to do. Stage 2 - When you get the machine gun and face the tank-like enemy. It's possible to dodge the tree and keep your combo going. - Missed second stage secret area. After getting on the train and clearing the hall, when you turn to face the train beside you - 3 yellow guys appear. Shooting all 3 takes you to a bonus area similar to the first stage. You get ~2000 more than the regular route with a combo, but is a bit harder so much just be player choice. He doesn't even go for the first guy. - Missed the orange bonus guy in the boss fight; he's in the helicopter as the boss turns toward you to shoot. Stage 3 - The helicopter falling the background of the very first area can be shot for bonus points - All the stage 1 regular enemy areas can be combo'ed, delay the killing blow on 'transition' enemies to keep it going. - Wild Dog can be shot while winding up for the punch in the duo fight (after the kick) - Very last part of last fight - you can duck between rockets, take a single shot, and duck again between rockets to keep combo going. - Not shooting Diaz at all during the last fight gives more shots, player shoots a killing blow on Diaz when he had ~5 more shots at the solar panels which were turning around for him to shoot. Generally it's interesting to see another player shoot, he plays slow and methodical - prioritizes combo over time bonus. Generally quicker 3 shots on enemies that isn't to keep the combo going would reward a lot of time bonus points. 'Max' score is ~2'350'000 imo. Even with perfect combos, its plateaued around 2'200'000; only speed gives more points. Aggressive shooting is best for learning imo: Getting the feel for very fast areas helps a lot when you then learn to combo. -MHL
Great game, one of my favorites growing up. Best part is you could actually beat it in one go. Not a bad way to spend .50-$1.00 for 20-30 minutes of game play at an arcade.
20:01 That final shot finding its mark. The countdown reaching its end. And Diaz plumetting with the prototype satellite into the path of his intended doomsday rocket. There's something deeply satisfying about seeing his plans derailed at the last minute.
Alex George YES!!!!!! Crisis Zone has no good videos documenting it cleanly, and it can’t be emulated (and the home version on PS2 looks different and dark and dirty)
I love this game so much and played it to death in the arcade! I could 1CC the game every time, and I eventually did it without taking damage. One thing eluded me - I could never work out the best way to score - It's obvious the combo is really important but I want to know how important a fast time is. After the awesome Time Crisis 1 time-based system I wanted so much for TCII to really reward speed, lol.
@@gjfkhvjzjsxbq Thought it was 1998. But yeah, I'm one of those people who's a fan of the entire series, to the point where I think no light gun game will ever surpass the Time Crisis franchise. Not even Elemental Gearbolt.
@@SolCresta3405 yeah it says in the description that its 1997 I'm gonna have to emulate this game but I don't know where you can get arcade ROMs from so I might have to emulate the ps2 version
Watching this video on my phone while watching the PS2 version on the iPad so I can compare side by side and the PS2 version is so much nicer looking. Arcade release was 1997 but PS2 was 2001 and so they enhanced the graphics and did a great job with it.
It's just a shame this game has seen no progress in terms of emulation. As of now, it only gets to Stage 1-2 and then freezes with a black screen. I've heard the System 23's a really complicated piece of hardware, so I wouldn't expect playable emulation anytime soon. Nonetheless, the arcade version is far more colourful than the PS2 remake and the machine is a blast to play. Last time was when I was on holiday in Mallorca and I came across a Japanese cabinet. I beat it so many times.
XenonHatcher YES, the same with Crisis Zone. They are being lost to history because they can’t be emulated, and the home PS2 versions look totally different with the dark colors and dirty textures. The arcade versions are so bright and crisp! Let’s get an arcade compilation re-release on PS4 and Xbox One.
This is one of my favorite first person shooter games and my favorite of the Time Crisis games. I put a lot of tokens in this game at the arcade and I beat it a few times! Great post! I am trying to figure one thing out and if ANYONE knows the answer, please reply and let me know. Does anyone know what kind of car that Keith and Robert are driving in at the start of Stage 2? Any help would be appreciated
My first Time Crisis game I've ever played at the arcades! I forgot how much I miss this version! Don't get me wrong I love the ps2 version, but I prefer the arcade version alot more. Any way great job with the run Smraedis and welcome back you Time Crisis Legend!
Yes, Time Crisis 2 and especially Crisis Zone look brighter and more colorful in the arcade version, the classic Namco 90’s look. PS2 version textures and lighting look dark and dirty :(
I used to play this game whenever I went to tilt studio's at Webster town mall and this give me nostalgia of the old days of arcade games, ah memories.
I finished this game both on arcade and PS2. The arcade is better because I love the low-quality graphics and animations, which makes the game cheesy. Plus the recoil on the gun is sensational. I still play the PS2 version from time to time because it's hard finding an arcade cabinet of this game. Most of the light gun games I see are TC4 which is mediocre.
I beat Time Crisis 2 with only one credit and with 1st place! Even if I could beat Time Crisis 2 just like that, you're still the King of Time Crisis, Smraedis!

I remember this game fondly, not just for being part of my childhood, but for letting me actually finish it on the arcade machine. You see, I went to Spain on holiday as a kid, and tucked away in a random corner of the hotel was a Time Crisis 2 machine, and it was broken in the best way: one euro gave you like three or four credits instead of just one. I asked my mum for about ten euros because I knew that this was the best chance I had of actually getting to see the end of the game without bankrupting myself, AND I DID AND IT WAS AWESOME! P.S. I literally pumped my fist into the air when I heard Ernesto Diaz speak with his REAL voice instead of the shitty one they dubbed in later for some reason.
thanks youtube bring me here, it was a good old day. you know some basic skill, but on top, there is a no-miss-bonus( you sometime see it +500, +1000 on screen ) it's very important if you want to go higher next level, more priority than head shot. in some phase you may want to give up head shot to keep the bonus alive. good luck~
Gosh that really takes me back to the late 90s and I've forgotten that this game is 26 years old. Another cool aspect was the co-op mode. Of course, you would have to hope that the other random person who join was at least a bit skilled. I never had that problem years ago. I have a twin brother and we were obssessed with this game. We used to hang around at the movie house in our teens wearing out TC2 and people would actually gather round to watch us playthrough it on one credit and no health damage. Laugh and grow fat! 😆
I can't believe we were so close to the ending but can't finish it because we ran out of tokens on the arcade, damn! But seeing the ending now makes a bit satisfied, knowing what the ending looks like.
i remember down in florida at a place called pete roses i played through this whole game by myself and it was well into the morning so all i can say is i love this game and i wish the arcade could make some sort of comeback
last oct. 27 as I played this on the arcade, this is my first time I successfully hit the first boss in his head 4 times, then I got a lot of bonus guys at the end of S1A2.
Some of the music in this game is a direct copy of the musical score from The Rock (the movie starring Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage). Especially the music from after you complete the game.
Holy shit, I used to play the hell out of this as a little kid. The local beef o' brady's had a cabinet and my great aunt would always bring me there and give me money to play. I will never forget how many times I literally died two shots before killing the final boss and spent another quarter, only to feel ripped off.
@@Smraedis did you make the cabinet? Or you actually own the arcade cabinet? Because I had to watch this a second time.... Game is bringing me nostalgic memories... I only saw this cabinet one time... And played the mess out of the ps2 version
House of the dead 2, marvel vs capcom, and time crisis. These were the games i play in arcade, i dont have the skills to finish this game but when someone did people actually cheered.

The best part of the Time Crisis franchise is that there is no blood and the thing is many people are old enough to play them.

Anything below 5th place never got saved
>>p>
I got 1st place, and my time is 14:34 at Tom's World last year, and now TC2 is gone at Tom's World
Every time I play this at the arcade I always place 11th, which is so frustrating because it's only one off from the leader board lol

I am trying to figure one thing out and if ANYONE knows the answer, please reply and let me know. Does anyone know what kind of car that Keith and Robert are driving in at the start of Stage 2? Any help would be appreciated
The guncon in arcades was the coolest thing ever
Is the guncon the top part of the the gun that springs back when you shoot!!!
Ahh... the memories. Good times. 😎👍
My first Time Crisis game I've ever played at the arcades! I forgot how much I miss this version! Don't get me wrong I love the ps2 version, but I prefer the arcade version alot more. Any way great job with the run Smraedis and welcome back you Time Crisis Legend!
Thanks, I feel the arcade version has more charm than the PS2 version
Yes, Time Crisis 2 and especially Crisis Zone look brighter and more colorful in the arcade version, the classic Namco 90’s look. PS2 version textures and lighting look dark and dirty :(
special thanks to derrick lynch! i guess the crisis zone villain is named after that guy who worked at namco interesting!
I used to play this game whenever I went to tilt studio's at Webster town mall and this give me nostalgia of the old days of arcade games, ah memories.
Wow!! You're awesome!!
I finished this game both on arcade and PS2. The arcade is better because I love the low-quality graphics and animations, which makes the game cheesy. Plus the recoil on the gun is sensational. I still play the PS2 version from time to time because it's hard finding an arcade cabinet of this game. Most of the light gun games I see are TC4 which is mediocre.
I beat Time Crisis 2 with only one credit and with 1st place! Even if I could beat Time Crisis 2 just like that, you're still the King of Time Crisis, Smraedis!

I remember having the tune from the menu selection screen in my head for years not knowing where it was from...today I finally solved the mystery
In 9th grade everybody used to go to the mall and movies on Saturday night and we would play this at kahunavile until our movie started. Good times
I remember playing this back in a tropical arcade back in the day. Such nostalgia!
My favorite arcade game I grew up with.
After 8 years playing this in arcade I finally finished it
Time crisis 2 is the easiest time crisis game to beat while time crisis i have beaten TC2 many times
This is still one of the coolest games in the arcades to play but I hate when the controller sensors are not aligned right!
I remember this game fondly, not just for being part of my childhood, but for letting me actually finish it on the arcade machine. You see, I went to Spain on holiday as a kid, and tucked away in a random corner of the hotel was a Time Crisis 2 machine, and it was broken in the best way: one euro gave you like three or four credits instead of just one. I asked my mum for about ten euros because I knew that this was the best chance I had of actually getting to see the end of the game without bankrupting myself, AND I DID AND IT WAS AWESOME!
P.S. I literally pumped my fist into the air when I heard Ernesto Diaz speak with his REAL voice instead of the shitty one they dubbed in later for some reason.
I remember this game time crisis 2 I used to play this game at the arcade in the Florence mall back in my teens
I hope this game fully playable on mame
Same dude...
Same
thanks youtube bring me here, it was a good old day.
you know some basic skill, but on top, there is a no-miss-bonus( you sometime see it +500, +1000 on screen )
it's very important if you want to go higher next level, more priority than head shot.
in some phase you may want to give up head shot to keep the bonus alive.
good luck~
Gosh that really takes me back to the late 90s and I've forgotten that this game is 26 years old. Another cool aspect was the co-op mode. Of course, you would have to hope that the other random person who join was at least a bit skilled.
I never had that problem years ago. I have a twin brother and we were obssessed with this game. We used to hang around at the movie house in our teens wearing out TC2 and people would actually gather round to watch us playthrough it on one credit and no health damage.
Laugh and grow fat! 😆
I can't believe we were so close to the ending but can't finish it because we ran out of tokens on the arcade, damn! But seeing the ending now makes a bit satisfied, knowing what the ending looks like.
damn this guys good. found this game hard as hell as a kid at the arcades
Finished the game only once at the local arcade, came back after some years and they got the 4th game now, still this my favourite
i remember down in florida at a place called pete roses i played through this whole game by myself and it was well into the morning so all i can say is i love this game and i wish the arcade could make some sort of comeback
where can i buy an arcade machine like this in the philippines?
Tell someone in your nearest arcade place where you have time crisis 2 and ask the owner where to buy time crisis 2
last oct. 27 as I played this on the arcade, this is my first time I successfully hit the first boss in his head 4 times, then I got a lot of bonus guys at the end of S1A2.
The time crisis arcade games were some of the best of my childhood.
In the end, TC5, Robert is a traitor.
Ah yes these were the workouts back in the day
Ah yes, a boss villain that refuses to leave the frontline after acquiring the package. Flawless plan indeed.
18:47, “You are like roaches!”
Funniest line in the game
12:15 This man is a badass he freaken tried to beat you with a huge missile 🤣
Some of the music in this game is a direct copy of the musical score from The Rock (the movie starring Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage). Especially the music from after you complete the game.
We need a Time Crisis Remake Collection for the Switch
Brings back memories and the sudden urge to buy the arcade machine.
I like how there are different specific soldiers that are specially trained for smg's, rocket launchers, and being ninja's.
This is my favorite game i played this in Bangkok but is no more there. It was fun
Holy shit, I used to play the hell out of this as a little kid. The local beef o' brady's had a cabinet and my great aunt would always bring me there and give me money to play. I will never forget how many times I literally died two shots before killing the final boss and spent another quarter, only to feel ripped off.
I wish they would bring this cabnet back out to the arcades QwQ
This is so good
It seems to be popular with retro arcades over here, after being difficult to find for years.
@@Smraedis did you make the cabinet? Or you actually own the arcade cabinet?
Because I had to watch this a second time.... Game is bringing me nostalgic memories... I only saw this cabinet one time... And played the mess out of the ps2 version
