Developed and published by Sega in 1989
Following my recent longplay of the the C64 version of ESWAT ( • Cyber Police ESWAT Lon... ) and found it somewhat lacking, I wanted to play the original arcade game to refresh both my memory of the game and to put the C64 into context.
I played ESWAT in the arcade only once, but I remember that it's the only coin-op that I bothered to buy additional credits for following defeat. For some reason, the game clicked with me and I was curious to see if that was still the case today.
The game feels rather like Shinobi, but with less ninja and more guns. The style of gamplay is very similar in that you must run and gun down multiple enemies, as well as move between the top and bottom play-fields.
I still think that the decision to have the player progress through the ranks before being promoted to ESWAT is a cool idea. An arcade is no place to present the player with lengthy explanations regarding gameplay elements, so the opening screen showing the rank progression through to earning the ESWAT suit is nicely done. I suppose it's also a deliberate ploy to get punters to spend more money by making them play through three levels before they even get to the good stuff!
The ESWAT mech-suit is equipped with a fully automatic chaingun that allows the player to hold down the fire button for sustained fire. Whilst you might think that this gives you an advantage, it's more of a necessity since the number of enemies increases and most of these are armed with guns, attack more often or take multiple hits to kill. The chaingun can be bolstered with one of three different super-weapons that are designed for clearing the screen of enemies when the going gets tough. These weapons don't appear often and must be caught as they fly across the screen, so it's likely that you will lose out if one appears in the midst of a hectic gun battle.
Perhaps the biggest challenge in the game is conserving ammunition. Bullets are limited and certain enemies require multiple hits to down, so you need to collect the bullet boxes that occasionally appear on each level. Running out of ammo will limit you to a close-range melee attack, which puts you at greater risk of getting shot by enemies. Running out of ammo is less of an issue as a regular cop as your handgun files a single round, but the ESWAT suit's chaingun fires in a minimum of three-round bursts, so it's extremely easy to run out of ammunition.
The in-game graphics are pretty good. The sprites are nicely animated, especially the main police officer who has enough frames is his walking cycle to make it look realistic and not as though he's ice-skating. The ESWAT suit breaks apart and bits fall off as it takes damage, which is a really nice touch.
Most importantly, the controls are responsive and the sprite collision is excellent. The C64 version was plagued with hit-box problems that made avoiding bullets impossible, but none that exists here. In fact, the arcade version of ESWAT is arguably easier than the C64 version purely because it works correctly!
As with other games released during this period, the game uses an increasing number of digital sound effects and speech samples. The music is also quite catchy, although it still sounds quite poor when compared to some of Capcom and Konami's games from the same era.
ESWAT is another solid title from Sega. I don't think it's as memorable as Shinobi or Golden Axe, but it's a fun and challenging title that is definitely worth sinking a few coins in the slow.

Games like this (shinobi, rolling thunder, ninja gaiden etc) ate so many of my quarters. I wish we had quality games like this these days.
They should have games that are even better but big AAA game makers don't like to take risks. Making a game today is like making a big Marvel movie. There's also politics involved. Gaming was more niche back when there were arcades so everything was about fun.
10:08 A Gorilla. Throwing barrels at you. I see what you did there Sega.
Kyntteri I thought he was throwing his own feces!
Ok but pause at 10:17 and look see what the dude in the purple jacket is doing.
YouFube Giving an enema, I hope?😲
@@youfube- 😆😅🤣
My mom used to own this game for her store and me and my brother beat it. I had that first level down to a T. I would jump on that small roofing as a glitch to beat the first boss. Great memories.
i used to play this game straight out of elementry school at the bowling alley on the way home. killed it with two quarters. classic

I fantasized of Craig Ferguson sobbing; like the Warner Bros looney tunes male cartoon barnyard hunting dog 🐶 Jack, knowing how sadistic this VG (video game) is.
That's actually pretty impressive, this game was hard af
took me 3. we're enemies now.
Pfft, I one quartered it.
@@victor.elkins bruh y'all is lame, I half quartered it
OMG...I haven't seen or played this game in 30 yrs because as a kid I never knew the name or the developer...but I ran across this video 2day and I instantly remembered this game that I use 2 play at my local pizzeria back in 1989.
That was a hell of a game. Amazing playing and amazing music! Good ol days!
You right but it's pretty hard as well
6:28 "I guess we'll all just go home now then"
Thus I made fun of every pregnant woman & unborn child, it's just like what the 'Martin' comedy show cast and crew members did in 1987.
3:16 "Oh thank you officer!" That's like the worst attempt of a woman's voice ever...
Sounds like Minnie Mouse after drinking either one too many White Claws or a single can of Four Loko
Worst voice acting ever!
"OBEY". "STAY ASLEEP". ...lol, quotes from the movie "They Live".
Jinzo Clash Ask no questions, tell no lies!
New World Order....
4:24 How it felt getting promoted at work this year.
This reminds me of the real ghost 👻 busters sometimes.
...Did you do the silly smile as well? That seems like an integral part of the process
If dodging bullets were that easy...oh yeah, "oooh thank you officer!"
Que saudade dessa época maravilhosa
This was a awesome game. really brought back memories
What I loved the most about the game was the huge variety of bosses, from armed thugs, wild animals and monster trucks, to robots and doomsday machines.
The boss of Stage 13 is an air conditioner.
Buenos tiempos con las maquinitas!
Sabras donde puedo encontrar el juego en que nintendo? gracias
Oh the memories! I used to beat this game with just one coin when I was a kid, if I remember correctly you can defeat the second boss with just one kick, I had such a good time with this game and Snow Bros!
Yeah, if you have no ammo when you get to the second boss and kick him, he's instantly defeated.
@@Macrochenia and the best way to do this is by intentionally shooting the bottom right crate of the ''crate hill'' to expend the bullets very quickly before meeting the boss
@@figment1988 Shoot the crates, then attack the boss's weakpoint for massive damage.
@@Macrochenia and watch as lady hostage thanks you with the cheesiest voice impersonation of Minnie Mouse ever.
I still love how dramatically is escalates.
Good ol' days :)
+gesheed can you see at 4:24 to 4:26
What exactly?
gesheed armor
Joseph Bevacqua You're stupid
hell yeah
This game deserves a remake and a 2nd part
It has one. The genesis version.
@@dagainz6997Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive had a crap remake
Naw no police shit
@@dagainz6997 didn't know that
@@vapaperboi it's just a game man.
Ohhhhhh thankyou officerrrrrrrr!!!
For the first time in my life I see how the first boss and was meant to be. I had it and played it on Sega Master System
I like the first mission after he goes "E SWAT" his target guy to arrest is a dude wanted for "Attempted Murder" and he slaughters like 160 dudes making the bust. Them Regan years..
Wow Kia baat hy!
Purane din yaad agy
Streets of Rage was initially meant to be a spinoff of ESWAT, called DSWAT. The remnant is your special move in the first game with the offsider cop with the bazooka. But it seems they also reused the concept of the fat firebreather enemy from ESWAT in SOR, which is actually given context in ESWAT, that his ability comes from his flammable alcohol breath. He even uses the same rolling move in later SOR games (I don't recall him using the roll in SOR1, but may be mistaken)
The Boomerang boss also seems to be the inspiration for one of SOR1's bosses.
Interesting that they went with a King Kong type boss here, as they'd later use Godzilla in the initial versions of Revenge of Shinobi!
No, the fat enemies didn't gain a rolling attack until Streets of Rage 4.
@@Macrochenia ejem, the fat enemies they make a rolling attack in SOR3/BK3
one of my favorite sega games of all time
This game?
Omg - it is very bad.
When you never play good games in your life.
Superb game, I used to play it in my childhood, at the end of the 80s... And still playing it at 41 years old on my Nintendo Switch (softmodded) or the PC (Retroarch or Mame). A blast from the past.
This game is like a Shinobi/RoboCop mashup
I think Rolling Thunder might have been an influence
4:30 Agostinho Carrara
Keep up the good work!
Cyber police? Consequences will never be the same, so you better not GOOF!
Actually it’s armored
I love how nobody among criminals ever dares to lay finger on the police car's driver
Another arcade favorite!
without many comments because it will always be a super classic.
In a game called Cyber Police, I was hoping to hunt down Blood On The Dance Floor in this game
So glad to see it haha thank you
i been looking for this gamefor a long time
I have to chuckle at the technical specs of the ICE suit during the attract mode. It lists features like "Lunch Cude", "Fried Citken", and "Karaoke Mic."
great classic of arcades, very good....
I remember playing this at Walmart years ago and it kind of reminds me of sun set riders
The soundtrack definitely makes the game better
This is very shinobi.
With a Rolling Thunder flair.
Also gives me a few Ninja Cop/Five-O vibes.
Todo un clásico de mi infancia uuff recuerdo que todo mundo quería jugarlo y todos viendo como le daban la vuelta al juego 😂😂😂hemosionados
Esté juego también está Relacionado con Streets of Rage, por ejemplo el primer Boss el Gordo qué Lanzallamas en su boca es Big Ben el Cuarto Boss del primer Streets of Rage y sus Secuelas y también Cuando tú llamas a la Policía con el Auto es el mismo de ESWAT
The title screen is the most 80s thing ever.
If a Cyber Police officer catches a cold, the other cops mockingly call them "ESNOT".
uno de los favoritos cops
México
i love this game,very impressive
I used to play this in the Arcades wow!. Long time ago
this seems different to how i remember
You probably have played Sega port
One would think a major crime syndicate could afford bullets and lasers that fly faster than 25 mph.
These were the days
grandes recuerdos...
12:25 - very Paula Abdulish (Doo-Doo you love me) tune :D - funny how most songs are relaxed while the gameplay is heated!
como vicie con esta arcade, no recordaba que era de sega siempre pense que era de dataeast
The craziness with that game. It came out around the same time as the robocop movie so everyone was crazy about it.
Wonder how many kids wanted to be a police officer afterwards, just like air force pilots after the Top Gun movie.
This is my childhood !
Didn't I see that cop car in Streets of Rage 1?
Yeah, very similar design ;)
The Asian boss was charged with a "hit and run felony". Stereotype much?! 🤔😂
how is that a stereotype?
Very good! 🤘
the most accurate depiction of the police ever
E-SWAT WAS SCARY!!!!!! :( Nice to know he was able to still tear it up on karaoke nights at the local bar though, even as a cyborg.
De pequeño me gustaba jugar ver este video juego.
This is what it would look like, if they decided to make another Home Alone game with Macaulay Culkin: in 2023.
That music actually slaps
Suncraft is actually a legitimate name of four different companies, namely, Suncraft Knives, which is in Japan, Suncraft Technologies, which is a print company, Suncraft Industries, which makes sprinklers, as well as some tools and clamps, and Suncraft International, which transports, as well as makes, boats. However, as far as I know, none of the companies uses the logo that is found on the container of the semi truck, though. Champions Sporting Goods is also the real life name of a sporting goods chain which is now known as Champs Sports, but there is also another Champions Sporting Goods that is the name of a smaller chain of sporting goods stores in Massachusetts. I also think that there is a Costco in this game, but part of the logo is obscured before you enter into a building.
Directo en la Nostalgia 😔
sabes en que nintendo puedo encontrar este juego?
Lo que no entienden los gamers es que estos juegos lo jugábamos arcade. .25 ¢ argentinos.
Miss this game
Classic!
Feels more like Rolling Thunder than Shinobi
25 years back in the day
11:49 Street Fighter 2 bônus stage
Poor guys, fighting to get a neck!
From the makers of Shinobi, Altered Beast and Elevator action....comes guys with guns shooting in every direction.
0:28 "fried chicken" compartment... Then many years later (2019) KFC comes up with "Colonel Robocop" for their commercials
Actually way back in 1990 Korean TV aired an AD for Lotte Ham fried chicken, with RoboCop as the main character, so kfc might have licensed that idea.
1:40 - Big Ben Enemy of Streets of Rage Streets of Rage 2, 3 & 4
Hi - from the thumbnail i thought it was the original Robocop , seems to have the same "look and feel"
A bit of rolling thunder mixed in too
Still remember, the ultimate factor lies within you
My childhood days favourat game 90s
Note to self, aluminum trash can lids will stop small arms fire.
This is perhaps one of the few games in which the console port is far superior than the arcade version
Moreno A. Hassem ii
Moreno A. Hassem That ending theme song is one of the most superior of its time.
They're both bad though.
Yeah, the genesis version was much more interesting and better than the arcade version.
retread01
Whats bad about the genesis version ?
this game plays dirty when in the last level it basically insta gameovers you if you run out of credits
played this shit alot when i was a kid, liquor store had the arcade machine posted
I shore do miss sega namco and midway/Williams old arecade games man IAM old
It's tricky when you have; even a man/boy who's on a skateboard, come and attack you.
Obey, Stay Asleep ..THEY LIVE!
Que jugadoraso no te eliminaron ninguna vida me cae jugadoraso de los 90s
Which console we can use to play the same ge version
Sir please give me the link .how can i download this game plz
The graphics seems different than when i played it as a kid! Is it a different version!
both versions were very good but i have to admit the arcade one was a little better
Hey.... Can someone tell me what "Fried Citken" is? Or maybe someone can clue me in on "Fingeer Five"? Also why is a Karaoke Mic necessary to fight crime?
Lo salve con una ficha cuando tenia 13 años 😮
I like!
4:30 - It's Woody Allen! Or maybe it's Sol Rosenberg.
¿ Cómo puede ponerlos tras las rejas si ya los llenó de plomo y los dejó como coladera?😂
imagine understanding this coment
this comment was made by monolingual gang
I thought that guerrilla was throwing shit lol
19:51 = Washington DC, London, Paris, Berlin , Moscow and Tokyo.
