cool arcade gaem

Now that I have your attention. . .(PS, you can see what this is all about in the Terminator 2 episode.)

What's this, now?

This is 'Mom, Can I Have Another Dollar?'! A Let's Play series that focuses on classic coin-op arcade games. Each week, the commentators are allotted a dollar with which to try out an arcade title. Each player that week (there may be anywhere from 1-3, depending on the game) puts in their dollar, and plays as long as they can on the credits. When they run out, they render a verdict of whether the game warrants another dollar or not. As such, some games may have multiple parts, some do not.

Oh our channel was deleted a while ago, here's some info on that.

MCIHAD Returns!

How are the games selected?

We play each game as if we are wandering around an arcade, some games are familiar many are not. Besides entertainment, hopefully viewers can discover some new games they'd like to try out, as a lot of these are fairly obscure but have been made more widely available in retail classics compilations and such. Since the players in most of the videos are playing the games themselves for the first time, the commentaries are very spontaneous. (Hopefully they manage to be funny or at least informative, as well.) We also take requests, so if there's a specific game you'd like to see done, drop a line in the thread and we'll try to get to it!

We also have a Head to Head series where we compete for last place. Why last place? Because it's more fun to punish the loser than it is to give the winner something.


How often are videos uploaded?

At least 3 times a week, sometimes more often if it's a multi-episode series.


Didn't I see one of these threads before?

Yeah, but the front page was running out of room for the games that we played, and Keith is literally incompetent, so we're moving it to here! Don't worry, you can find the other one here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3724530&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

Misc:
Since there's nothing to spoil, there's not really a restriction on conversation. If you have a specific game you'd like to see played, feel free to mention it in a post. Otherwise, consider the thread open to any discussion about your favorite (or hated) arcade games and experiences. Ever been to an arcade overseas? SF tournament? Yakuza-run pachinko parlor? Share your stories, we might get ideas to use in an episode

Mad Motor

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1ng7ksD4qY
An unreleased arcade game that we played because we wanted to do something like Road Rash. It will be apparent that it is incomplete.

A surprisingly multi-requested game that we had no idea even existed.

A Beat 'Em up for the modern era. You fight all ethnicities in this one.

Cadash

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2usX81tI_gk

'96 Flag Rally

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkJMNIzpHn0
A Korean game where you drive around a track collecting treasure and. . . that's it.

Road Blasters

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMnDkQTMGMc
The Atari one, a game where the title is pretty much on the nose. You're on the road and you blast everyone.

Ms. Pac-Man

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFoiAUXm2YI
A shameless replaying of a game we've done before. At least we didn't play the same game twice, right? (Coughs at Battle Balls).

Night Slashers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd4ze-WVun8
A Data East Beat 'Em Up where you fight zombies, frankensteins and ghost knights. It's as rad as it sounds.

Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDnISxqqrdY
One of the Robot piloting games that actually made it out west.

Mach Breakers: Numan Athletics 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq6E-Xxj4AE
A sequel to Numan Athletics. They had to make it all stupid confusing by giving it a different name at first. It's like that Edge of Tomorrow movie, which now has like 4 names.

Tetris: Grand Master 3 Terror-Instinct

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcS8dov3TFU
Tetris but made for people who have been playing it since Alexi invented it. We really had no business playing this poo poo.

Windjammers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zswA5GZ-zWk
It's kinda like pong, but better. Watch as Keith has a good 'ol fashioned freak out.

Pochi and Nyaa

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jRriSf8lFE
What the hell is up with all these puzzle games with "P" names all of the sudden? This is essentially another Puyo clone, so Keith HAD to play it.

Pnickies

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmvSrOlVSAA
It's some sort of puzzle game where hell fights heaven? Or something?

Armadillo Racing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGb0ogHKK7c
This was a Japanese exclusive children racing game with only two levels to choose from. Thankfully, you could have up to four players play though. I don't know why that's something to be thankful for.

Mysterious Stones - Dr John's Adventure

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKl3Z6GB0GU
This game is almost certainly somehow related to Indiana Jones, but we just don't know how.

Pack'n Bang Bang

My Hero

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0tfNCVMTJs
Requested by Rollersnake, you go along to fight people who stole your girlfriend. At least I assume that's the point. We didn't get far enough.

Haunted Castle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2OVxM5ANRU
Don't let the name fool you, this is made by Konami, and this is just Castlevania. It came out in 1988, so looking at the NES version and this, it's like a world of difference in graphical quality. The gameplay is still horseshit.

Blood Storm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40DBnPYgTO4
First bout of Head 2 Head. It's an incredibly violent fighting game that gives Mortal Kombat a run for it's over-the-top "ultra-violence".

The Lost World: Jurassic Park

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK7jGQ0E5d8
A "sequel?" to the original light gun shooter for the arcade system, except this one wasn't in a vibrating booth that moved when you played.

Ninja Clowns

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq3Pu7mlj8o
I don't really know what to say. But Keith put it best as, "It's 2016, the game."

Battle Balls. . . Again!

Part 1/6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_eoyvI3tTQ
Part 2/7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPmmSimFAgE
Part 3/8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWk2xPkh5uM
So we've totally played this game before, but we're playing it again! Why? Because it's literally our favorite game now. In between doing games for the show, we kept playing this poo poo, that we decided, "gently caress it, let's just recording new episodes". I think this will become a staple for MCIHAD. I wanna get other people in on this poo poo. The numbering system is going to be hosed up, because no one wants to click on a part 6, and technically it has nothing to do with the original run, so it's both part one and six, two and seven, and three and eight. loving stupid, I know!

NBA Jam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJBQ1Jo7hks
First of the many sports titles that Midway pushed out in the 90s that ended up ruining the world when Madden becomes the most successful video game franchise because of this.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNfV8RawBYk
Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGrbshXb2go
Requested by Nebiros. Not the best known Capcom Beat 'Em up, but at least it can boast that it has the coolest name around.

Rock Tris

Censored: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mtlUwy2eRw
Uncensored: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp3kV6JFukM
Oh boy, Rock Tris. The best sound design in any game we've ever played.

Keith Courage in Alpha Zones

Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVbDYP3yvtY
Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91ZDxAjk1Bw
Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVZ8ob8cbgM
We picked this based on Keith's name alone. We learned a lot of stupid poo poo about Kyle not knowing anything about the law. Click to learn more!

Super Ranger & Bega's Battle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzXQhHaXX5Y
Another SunA. . . what's like the opposite of a classic? Anyhow, another SunA game, and a Data East game that we probably would never be able to play.

Spark Man

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7RUhJKFrqo
The makers of Hard Head made more games. Check out the nonsense that is Spark Man, where everything only leads to questions.

Trouble Witches

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34QJgFrwJIk
Another side scrolling shooter involving young witches. Why is this such a popular motif of the genre? This has to be like the 4th game that we've played like this.

Chicken Shift

https://youtu.be/D8OXgzzdiJQ
Requested by Suspect Bucket! This game is actually a pretty neat puzzle game, but centered around chickens for some reason.

Wild Fang

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8pbxfj9P98
A game that exudes violence and a hatred for King Kong. Pretty cool game. Sort of like Metamorphic Force and Altered Beast.

Poker Ladies

Censored version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrRHT4A8F1w
Uncensored version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12PXHnxaxDg
A misguided attempt at making a Strip Poker game. The results are less stimulating of your sexual organs, than it is of your fight or flight function of your brain.

Dog Walking Simulator

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-_8pR2rA9o
Yep. This was real. For some reason.

Revolution X

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbL_K9eNY20
A light gun shooter from simpler times, when you could kill a man with a CD and open fire in an Aerosmith concert.

Rhythm Tengoku/Heaven

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVT3oZBz03g
This game is actually really good, but nearly impossible to do as a three person let's play where you're trying to entertain people by talking. Requested by The Ayshkerbundy"

Silent Hill the Arcade

Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51117paJw3Q
Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLNbXC-zFn0
Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeAeZgEvJRY
There was once a time where Konami was king of all gaming. This was after that time.

Sonic Double Feature

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQg0gRYzH1Q
Back when we started this show, we found an arcade version of the original Sonic. Who would have thought it would become a staple of the show? Sure as gently caress wasn't Keith. He pretty much regrets it with every fibre in his body.

Crazy Taxi!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuJ0LYVFTwU
Probably the second game that we'll lose the ability to monetize because the developers put licensed music in here. :/

Magician Lord

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCjuOKvYh1E
A purposefully difficult game, requested by a fella who runs a Neo-Geo board. Neat.

Dancing Eyes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTFjMfD6fN8
A game that no one asked for, but we got anyway. It's got some of that weird poo poo that we like to see on MCIHAD.

Deathsmiles 2:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04Yz0EhleBI
This game is probably the newest game we've played on the show. SFIV came out in 2008, but this one came out in 2009. How about that.

Strider 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSkFxI1vtK8
The answer to the question you have every time you ever played Marvel vs. Capcom: "Who the hell is that ninja guy?"

Streets of Rage II

Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9woRXow6LG8
Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkDcvsh5Ha8
Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpjvf5HPV5o
Part 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR6iwjtWxWI
An amalgam of ripoffs of many other games and a Sega Beat 'Em Up to boot.

Vapor TRX

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gqket-PuvLQ
A strange racing game by Atari that came out around the same time as Midway's Hydro Thunder. It's hard to say who is ripping off who, but we get a lot of ground covered about our hiatus.

Speaking of selling out, here's the first request of this session that we tackled. Streets of Rage II.

But since this is a cliffhanger of a story ending, we went ahead and put out two episodes at once. So check 'em out

I think there's some on the other thread that were requested that we still haven't gotten too. . . In all honesty a lot of the earlier shooter games are pretty similar, like galaga is like Phoenix, the parodius games are just making fun of the Gradius games. So I guess we usually try to play the more unique ones.

But Xevious does look interesting.

Has anyone ever drank so much that you got an ear infection? Cause I think that happened to me last night.

Anyhow, here's Strider 2.

If you ever played the Marvel vs. Capcom games and wondered who the hell that ninja guy was, well here is what he's from. Appropriate that Kyle is playing it as well, since Strider goes to Antarctica.

Another fine Trouble Planet production.

Also for funsies, I supported the boys on Patreon, and got my very special Thank You message today. I requested Keith to say my thank-you message in his squeakiest voice, and include the words "Rinderpest", "Brucellosis", and "Lymphadenitis", because they are gross livestock diseases I knew he'd enjoy learning about.

A+ for squeakiness and topic.

I'm actually surprised with how much Keith put into that thing. Hopefully if we get more people in the future, people will enjoy it as much.

Hey thanks! We'll throw it on the list.

I also threw a bunch of shmups that we hadn't gotten around to.

I feel like we usually don't do shoot 'em ups because they take a lot of concentration to play and it makes the conversation suffer, but gently caress it.

I feel like we haven't enough weird poo poo recently. Let's fix that with Dancing Eyes. Part of the genre I can only call "reveal the nudie picture", except this one is in 3D, and as far as we could tell, doesn't have any nudity. . . Which is a relief since the first person you "strip down" is a child. Jesus, I'm on a watch list now.

Oh dear God, Dancing Eyes...yeah, that was one of those Namco attempts to capitalize on the polygonal graphics by going all Gals Panic on innocent Japanese working women, innit?

You do the Lord's work, gentlemen. I salute you.

If it were just that, I suppose it'd be fine. But no, they take a few steps too far by doing a muscle-man bound by a snake, and a bee larvae.

Edit: Apparently the Japanese version has all the smut. I think we need to replay that version.

In keeping with Keith's observation that video games make you say the weirdest poo poo in your life, we spent an afternoon yelling at Kyle to "stop dropping red! Those mice are going to kill you! You'll never cut that snake in half before the mice kill you!"

God drat. So as most of you may know, we take requests, I think we've already played some on here so far, but it's always a slippery slope, as you can never guess what we're gonna think.

Especially when Nick is playing. Oh boy. If you guys have any other Wizard related games, you bet your rear end we're gonna make Nick play it, and he'll poo poo all over it.

Anyway, here's Magician Lord

Alright, Griffon, we did Crazy Taxi. I think we forgot to thank you, because we had to re-record it. But we all know that you asked for it. Take that statement with assurance or as a threat.

I never did get around to making the statement that everything said was in jest, but Charlie Cat took it in stride anyway and reportedly laughed at my pain. This is what MCIHAD is all about.

As an aside, the Cat Stevens song I was attempting to recall is titled "Was Dog a Doughnut?". gently caress me, I guess. I imagine Cat Stevens hopes I burn for all I said against him, but Yusuf Islam would probably let it slide.

It's actually astounding at this point how many sonic "games" there are out there. They even go to a point of no return when they start making games out of food products. I'm not even joking people.

Alright, apparently Keith had been wanting to play this game for a long while. It's Silent Hill the Arcade. This game is not well known for being very good, but as we've learned, Keith's will is greater than our veto powers.

Thank gently caress this is the only Silent Hill arcade game, or we'd probably have to play them every god damned season.

Yeah. I'd never played it in an actual arcade, but there was an arcade in Busan Korea called, "Sambo World Carnival (삼보 월드 카니발 (which by the way, Carnival is a funny word in Korean. I remember one time, Keith and I seeing a hotel called 카니발 and arguing about whether or not it was called Carnival or Cannibal hotel. Good times.))" that had the game. Every time I wanted to play it someone was always on it. I'd actually like to go back someday and do a show about arcades around the world that are awesome. That one was probably the best one in all of Korea, and one of the few that had multiple Street Fighter IV cabinets.

Speaking of Korean arcades, why haven't we played Tekken yet? Besides the fact I'm gonna be horse poo poo on fire, it's surprising we've done 100+ arcade games, and not even Tekken once.

Decided to pull up the Japanese arcade brochure up for reference here. There was indeed a strange resurgence for light gun rail shooter games in the late 00s after the highs with Time Crisis, Silent Scope, and House of the Dead. Would be fun to find more games like this in this genre, but it's pretty difficult to emulate those games.

Well, there IS Beast Busters...which is 3 player. And Revolution X.

Hint hint.

Hey, look at that, someone doing something we should have done, why do we suck as hosts for this god damned show?

Also, Gunslinger Stratos would be awesome to have emulated. I think there's a PC version of it floating around somewhere, but not sure of the status on it.

As far as Light gun games that we can play, I'd like to do Zombie Raid as well. I should look into getting wii motes working on my computer so we can get multiple people playing at a time. Speaking of multiplayer light-gun games, we are playing one of the games you mentioned next week.

No kidding. The lesson I get from playing these games is, most often, that learning how much the arcade business angled gameplay to siphon quarters rather than impart fun would have crushed me at the age when I enjoyed them most. Then again, I would have felt a little better knowing that I didn't necessarily suck at games that bad; I was but the latest victim of a rigged system.

Hey, it's Monday, and it's time for a game that was requested likely a while ago, by "The Ayshkerbundy". Rhythm Tengoku was actually really fun, albeit nearly impossible for doing a show that we talk over the audio cues for, and being mentally altered by akaholl.

Also the ending theme is fucky for some reason on this one. :/

Here's a game I'd like to see. Zoids Infinity. Because drat I love me some robot animals and I'd love to hear your opinions on one of my favorite Toonami shows.

Oh, hey, speaking of teenage loves, another recommendation is Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs. Zeon (it was also on the PS2).
