T2 was only really missing a stage for the Galleria Mall Hallway and the chase through the Angeles River areas and then it would be totally representing the movie.
Dude this is why you wanted to go to the arcade.
That looks like ps1 nfl blitz gameplay that was shown. I remember the arcade looking so much better but maybe I’m crazy lol
Dragons lair aka that game in the arcade no one played and everyone hated.
What version of Star Wars is that? I might have missed something but isn’t that the wrong version then what you’re talking about?
Virtual fighter that game that sat empty while mortal kombat, street fighter and killer instinct or primal rage got the quarters.
It might have been advanced then but I’ve never seen that football cabinet anywhere.
Never understood the dance games. Not worth my time.
I’m probably forgetting something but terminator was the best all around arcade shooter I could name off of the top of my head.
Talking about atari star wars, while showing sega star wars, then talking about house of the dead instead is some pretty amazing trolling.
So many Sega…… Kinda sad to know how they where the guys to break boundaries from Arcade to consoles back in the day, to a company that became a small spot in the gaming industry.
You should check out Winning Run as well, Namco managed to make Virtua Racing three years before Sega did!
"Game Over Yeah !"
– Sega Rally
Marvel VS Capcom 2 is still awesome!!!
Played everyone when i was a teenager.
Beat MK 2 in the arcades with every single character.
Dragons lair didnt push anything it was all video.
Virtua Fighter looked Crisp and clean over Tekken, Virtua Fighter Remix was a polygon upgrade with a better soundtrack.
I thought Wrath Unleased for PS2 was next level impressive
Comixzone was crazy not sure if on arcade thoe
Street Fighter 3rd Strike still looks fantastic today, absolutely beautiful animations
Uggh…that is the wrong footage for the Star Wars game. The description was talking about Atari's vector graphics Star Wars, not the later one. This is why there is no description of hoth or speederbikes.
No Scud Race…
No virtua racing?
stop the AI
This mid 80s to late 90s of Sega were just the best!
Didn’t know Star Wars was a horror game lol 😂
3:16 – You might have done a wrong cut in the audio there (the end of your Star Wars commentary is about The House of the Dead 🙂 Which means you might have a part II coming up, since The House of the Dead isn't in this video 🙂
But great video, loved every bit of it!
I don't know if the narrator is AI or a real person but it fits perfectly!
I think a nod to Atari’s OG trilogy of on-rail raster graphics games—one each for the Star Wars (before ”A New Hope” was a thing), Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi films—on which Sega’s Star Wars Trilogy obviously drew SO MUCH influence, including shooting the tops off towers mechanic. Trilogy looked awesome, but for their times, the Atari trilogy played and looked better, to take nothing from Sega’s awesome “love letter.” (God, I hate that term… )
Star Wars Trilogy and Killer instinct still blow my mind.
I thought of Monkey Ball, Ferrari Challenge, Hard Drivin', KOF 13, VF 3 and Stun Runner
And yet superpang always took my money.
