The music on the truck/train levels is one of the best background tunes on any arcade game, an absolute banger. Great choice of a legendary arcade game to cover, Patman!
@xxHUNGRY4THETRUTHxx It's very similar but not exact. It's just the main melody and the phrases end differently. The rest of the track is completely different. I would call it inspired by, not quite the same thing.
Ive always wanted a modern remake of this game with a more in depth moveset and modern graphics. It was one of my favorite games as a kid, it was like playing an 80's action movie.
I played the Amiga Version in my Childhood. My Buddy and me loved all those Ninja Movies of the 80s and often played Ninja in the Garden, so this Game was perfect for us.
Me too! I was pretty much the only kid in America with a commodore Amiga 500 and everyone loved my version way more than their crappy nes version ....minus the loading times. Some of those were pretty rough.
Bad dudes…can still remember playing it and beating it in the arcade…one of the first beat ‘em ups you could go into an arcade with $2-$3 in quarters and beat the game. It was awesome. Loved it on the nes also
One of my favorite games of all time. Me and a friend of mine used to fill this old arcade machine with quarters when we were kids. This is one of the granddaddies of beat-em-ups, and I'm so thankful I got to enjoy it when I was young. When it came out on the NES, we were so excited and rented it from our local Gas City gas station. I remember playing this for hours and hours on his old NES. Good times. Great memories. Thanks again for the excellent trip down memory lane. Your channel is one of my absolute favorites on RUclips. Please keep doing what you're doing. 😊
Putting quarters on a machine is something every retro gamer from the early 80s has some sort of familiarity with. I can recall doing it with Pac-Man and the entire marquee was filled with quarters :-) thanks for sharing your members. Thanks
For some reason the arcade I went to in the late 80s apparently had the Japanese version. I distinctly remember the Dragon Ninja title screen, and the different sound effects. All these years I thought I was crazy and I had just been remembering it wrong! Thanks for clearing that up for me!
When I had the Amiga version back in the day I was always disappointed that the voice samples Were missing when everything else as far as audio was pretty close to the original. Little did I know that they were there just from the Japanese version. Pretty cool
Another stellar documentary from the Patman! Thanks for the video Patman. Bad Dudes is an arcade classic and hearing that ''I'm BAD" brings back awesome times back in the arcade days in my local mall in 90's
I was gonna comment the same thing. Not 2 day's ago I was checking out the games on the Nintendo Switch online service, and was wondering if they'd put this game on there. Then the Pat dude uploaded this🤣
I spent a lot of quarters on this game and was so dang happy when the NES version came out. I always played alone so it didn't bother me on the lack of coop. I loved that NES vesion and beat it many times just like I did on my arcade emulator nowadays! It was as a faithful port as one could ask for on 8bit!
My little contribution to the story. I used to 1CC the arcade game back in the day and discovered (at least in the American version) that the score caps at 999,999. I once point pressed this game and was able to achieve this score BEFORE reaching the final boss (which the Dragonninja alone is worth 400,000 points).
Patman, you are the best! I watch your every video and eagerly await for the next one. I especially like the groundwork and meticulous information search for each game. Don't ever stop! 😄
I would walk to the bowling alley with my brother just to play Bad Dudes! That was back in the ancient days. Then we rented the NES version too. I'M BAD!! Great video as always, Patman!
I got this game randomly for some birthday. I didn't get a lot of nes games back then. My buddy and I played the shit out of it for years. Love the memories of this game.
I think I played one arcade cabinet that said Green Beret and another with Rush N Attack. Of course those of us on the NES know it mainly as Rush N Attack
I loved this arcade game when it came out played it prettymuch every weekend at our local pizza joint. I later got it for the nes. Thanks Pat for making me remember the good times from back in the day. I appreciate it
It's a shame this game never got ported over to the Sega Genesis. Two Crude Dudes was pretty cool but I would have much preferred this original than the sequel. Aside from reducing some of the colors and cutting back the total amount of enemies on screen at once it could have been more than possible. Especially back then as Data East was on a roll with releasing games for the platform in the early 90s. I've read a couple people say the game was past it's prime and too old back when the Genesis was hot. If that's the case they wouldn't have released Joe & Mac 3 years later from it's Arcade release in 1994. But anyway, excellent review as always and thanks for The History of Rampage last week! 😎
@@boofuls Yeah it's habit because as a kid that's all we knew it as. Wasn't until emulation and the Internet I realized there name and regional differences 😊
Now I gotta hook up my pandora bootleg and play king fu master. I used to love playing that game as a kid. Can always count on you for some awesome nostalgic moments
The Commodore home version is very unique with the small sprites and characters and chip beat music tunes. Great review of this series and arcades, Patman, thanks! I like some of the unique abilities to lift and toss objects.
This is the very first game that I beat at the arcades back in the early 90's; yes it almost took me 6.50 bucks in quarters (and I will always remember the exact amount until the day I die lol) because but I was that determined. Great vid Pat.
I was always under the assumption that the blue energy drink/can was modelled on Pocari. I remember playing this game around 1989, myself and my buddies always referred to the blue energy cans as Pocari
Kung Fu Master, Bad Dudes, Vigilante, Shinobi and Final Fight. Those days of Arcade games were just the best. And something really missing from gaming these days without that Bowling Alley, Pizza shop or Arcade environment.
I hook up my OG NES during the early time period of Covid-19 and happen to find Bad Dudes in my attic. I was playing it which quickly takes me back in time when life was simpler. Brother Patman, Bad Dudes is long overdue for a sequel and hope some VG company makes a true sequel. Another phenomenal video.
The best channel to watch while stoned is back! Great video! Keep up the great work! Edit: I just realized didn’t Trump invite a sports team to the White House and serve McDonald’s hamburgers? Wild! 😮
Thanks for your awesome content bro! We used to play the heck out of Dragon ninja on the Amiga. Controls were a bit off but it was like playing an arcade machine with me mates. Good times. Cheers PatmanQC, you rock!
i was literally just playing this game today one of the best arcade beat em up side scroller action games' in the 80s UK was called Dragon Ninja. this game should defo of had a remake.
Loved playing this in the minit-mart as a kid. Tried playing it the other day & only had the patience to get past the 1st level. Sadly, most of the beat 'em ups haven't aged well for me & bore me to tears after about 10 min. Playing with friends was the part that made them so much fun... "I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?"
I always thought the Arcade game was called, Two Bad Dudes. Then the NES was just called, Bad Dudes because you could only play as one player. I was looking for this game for years, but it wasn't until fall of 2023 when I got the Data East Collection on my Mini EverCade. Then I realized I've been looking for the wrong title all these years: it was just Bad Dudes! It is always fun to watch your videos especially the sound part of it. We just take for granite how good it is now a days, but back then it was really just a bunch of different tones of beeps that I lived thru. Ha-Ha?
I played the NES port & the soundtrack is one of my favorites of the 8-bit era. It was fun game, I still remember watching the ninja multiply on the 3rd level blew my mind 🫨 good times!
LOVED Two Crude. Didn't know it was a sequel to Bad Dudes. Remember beating it at a local comic book store in my teens. Also the WWE tag team The New Day has t shirts that have a logo similar to that of the Bad Dudes arcade logo.
One of the first few games I played in the arcades back in the 80s, and one of my personal favorite NES games too. Man for years I've been trying to find out who the illustrator that was responsible for creating a lot of the marquee and bezel artwork used for a lot of arcade cabinets, including this game.
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries I found out who he is. His name is Frank Cirocco. He's done work for Marvel among other works. If you look up his artwork you'll see what I mean
The good old days of playing games in the 80’s and early 90’s as a kid, and wanting to play a game you saw that looked cool and not knowing the name of it. Happened to me with “Rush & Attack” I kept telling my mom “Russian Attack” and “Altered Beast” I kept telling her “Ultra Beast” God I was a dumb kid, good times.
I grew up with the C64 version (connected to a screen who was capable only of displaying colours in shades of green, like a giant Game Boy), but the original Arcade version was one of my favourite games of all time and the reason why I am in love with Data East productions nowadays! I picked up a Data East Arcade Collection on Evercade just because of it (and Tumblepop also).
I used to play this in a old pizza shop in Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh Pa. Along with this cabinet at the same pizza shop also had at one time or another Shinobi,Mortal Kombat,Black Tiger,TMNT AND PINS ....PINBOT,TAXI, WHIRLWIND.... oh the good old days😊😊😊😊
The music in the NES port is a LOT more lively than the Arcade original. As for the conversion, it was done by developer Sakata SAS, in which they also did the NES version of Robocop, also published by Data East. Sakata SAS also developed the Super Famicom port of the Neo Geo game, Sengoku.
Dang it. I was just about to say the same thing. They have Pocari Sweat at the Japanese mall near me. It is kind of a gross name for a drink but it's really just a sports drink.
I actually enjoyed this game. It reminds me of a movie action flick, good entertainment to have some fun with. But I mean that in a complimentary way. I love this kind of game.
FYI @patman the BLUE soda can for Japan could more likely represent Pocari Sweat, which is much more popular than Pepsi there. Thanks for the fun videos as always!
Thank you also for mentioning the movie Running Scared. Juts watched it. Buddy cop movie. That was awesome. One joke after the other, good action, filmed between freezing cold Chicago and warm Florida Keys with all the ladies in bikinis. Cannot get more 80-ish than this. 😎
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Really underrated movie. I love 80s action flicks. How could I not know of this one? Only thanks to PatmanQC mention the movie I now could enjoy it.
Patman can you do a history of San Francisco Rush and its sequels. One of my favorite racing games that I wish would get a collection for switch. Would love to see you talk about those great racing games. Have a good one.
I think the blue cans in the japanese version of the game look a lot more like cans of Pocari Sweat than Pepsi. Also fantastic and informative vid as always!!
Excellent as always 😊 also, 24:45 it says "Paul Owens" in Japanese on the side of the truck. I'm sure one of the developers or something for that version
Thanks for the vid. If you ever make it to Japan I'll take you to the vintage arcade I go to that has a bunch of side scrolling BEU games that never made it stateside.
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries no problem. There's also a place out here that sells vintage games called "Super Potato" because this is Japan and of course there'd be a place called "Super Potato".
Was it just me or did the music in Bad Dues, especially in the Train section had a very Bloody Tears-esq sound to it, great game I need to go back and replay.

LOL at least it was in there I suppose
Really?😂 me and my friends found it amusing and did imitations of it
I played Bad Dudes back in the day. Bad Dudes has a perfect story. Plus, the action is flawless.

in the 1980s random ninja attacks were a big problem, thankfully due to the abundance of bad dudes they were eventually defeated
LOL indeed

Side note: I refuse to refer to that game as Green Beret. Rush’n Attack is such a perfect title it should always be used.

Had a lot of fun with the Amiga game, it felt almost Arcade perfect back in the day.
People tend to crap all over it for some reason. I liked it back then, it just needed a bit smoother frame rate and two button controls
did Amiga Dragon Ninja port feel it is almost arcade perfect even though it is a lazy Atari ST version?
The enemy on fire, was one of many inspirations for the Scott Pilgrim vs the World game
Excellent, didn't know that

Patman can you do a history of San Francisco Rush and its sequels. One of my favorite racing games that I wish would get a collection for switch. Would love to see you talk about those great racing games. Have a good one.
I think the blue cans in the japanese version of the game look a lot more like cans of Pocari Sweat than Pepsi. Also fantastic and informative vid as always!!
Wonderful game! We dropped so many quarters into this machine
So did I :-)
I’ve played this game I don’t know how many times and never knew you could charge the punch.
Glad I could help :-)
I think the cans are blue for Pocari Sweat. It’s like a Gatorade.
Yes, never knew this existed
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries it's even got the swirl :D
I can't believe they have Karnov "Flipping You the Bird" in the Amstrad version. Yeah, that's easily the best version now, lol
"The mean streets of IOWA"
you have my like sir
LOL thanks buddy, I sure do appreciate it
Awesome video
Thanks!
I thought you did this game already. That's cool, though. It's one of my all-time favorites and good to see again.
I put hundreds of quarters into this game. The campground i stayed at had this and a pinball machine
It's funny because I can recall my campground having arcade games as well
I was 7 when this came out. That was my game too!! Was quarter using left & right on this one. LOL
Loved this as a kid
So did I
freaking great Game! One of my all time favorites!
Mine too!
Excellent as always 😊 also, 24:45 it says "Paul Owens" in Japanese on the side of the truck. I'm sure one of the developers or something for that version
Thanks for the info! He actually worked on the spectrum version so good call on that! Thanks
If this game was made today, it would be like "President Joey has been kidnapped, YAY"
13:42 yeah especially the Newport KY White Castle 😉😂😂😂
Thanks for the vid. If you ever make it to Japan I'll take you to the vintage arcade I go to that has a bunch of side scrolling BEU games that never made it stateside.
That sounds pretty cool, always wanted to visit Japan. Thanks for the invite :-)
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries no problem. There's also a place out here that sells vintage games called "Super Potato" because this is Japan and of course there'd be a place called "Super Potato".
You perform the spinning kick by pressing the attack button immediately after pressing jump, not at the same time.
Oh! nostalgia kicks in when I hear the "I'm Vlad" of the NES.
Time runs faster
LOL, pure 1980s
I bought it on the playstation network. It's still a great game to play to this day in my opinion 😃
I agree it's a lot of fun
Good video 👍
Arnie was busy with the maid in those days. 😊
LOL!
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Any plans to cover the trainwreck that is the Amico?
Was it just me or did the music in Bad Dues, especially in the Train section had a very Bloody Tears-esq sound to it, great game I need to go back and replay.
I always enjoyed it
I loved the NES version as a kid. Got the arcade version on my AtGames Legends Ultimate; love it even more.
Oh yes, the arcade version is great
Thanks
I had the Commodore 64 version as a kid. Liked it a lot, but it was sooo hard. Never got further than the forest.
If use the jump kick a lot it does help but yes it was difficult
