- Here's a review of an original NEO GEO MVS Windjammers cartridge on original NEO GEO MVS hardware with 25" CRT. This game was made by Data East in 1994 and released for the NEO GEO MVS and AES systems. It's also available on the Switch and Windjammers 2 will be coming out in 2019 for the PC and Switch.
From Wikipedia:
Windjammers (also known as Flying Power Disc in Japan) is a fast-paced sports arcade game released by Data East on the Neo Geo arcade system in 1994 and later on the Wii Virtual Console in Japan on June 22, 2010. Following the bankruptcy of Data East, the intellectual rights for this game were acquired by Paon DP, a mobile company formed by some ex-Data East employees.[2][3] It was delisted from the Virtual Console on December 24, 2013, making it the only delisted Neo-Geo game for the Virtual Console. A port of the game with online multiplayer support was released by DotEmu for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita on August 29, 2017, with a Nintendo Switch version planned for release on October 23, 2018.[4][5] A sequel, Windjammers 2, is planned for release on Nintendo Switch and PC in 2019.[6]

Windjammers is one of my favourite games ever. A few things: You can influence (with the stick) if you throw the frisbee in an ark. When in defense you can deflect the frisbee with the A Button (and joystick in neutral position), when deflected the frisbee goes up in the air, you have to get on the landing crosshair and if you there long enough you load for your super move. If you catch the frisbee, the sooner you hit the A button the faster you will throw the frisbee back. Yes the 3/5 points spots on the goals differ on each field. A round is over when: A: the time runs out or B: the player who has 12 points (or more) wins the round (no matter how many time is left). You play best of 3 => the first who wins 2 rounds is the winner. If there is a draw every player gets a point. On the beach bonus round you control the dog & you are supposed to catch the frisbee :). There is a bowling bonus round also. In the end this is just a version of Pong but it's the best one in every way possible.
@Madstalker80 . Thanks for the instructions, they were really helpful 👍👍👍
In tournaments, we change the time to 99 seconds. It makes the game a lot more fun, I think.
NEO GEO games are really good
That Windjammer game looks like a lot of fun; I have a Switch and I might get it. It's awesome that you have the original Tapper game with the Budweiser logo.
My brother and I love this game!
Windjammers one of my favorite neogeo game. Simple concept, great execution and a lot of fun. Curious to see the Windjammers 2 next year.
It is basically PONG on supercharged steroids. Simple but great fun.
Windjammers is an amazingly fun game even if it is just 90's style Pong and one of very few games I actually was able to play in a bowling alley arcade along with two of my other all time fav Neo-Geo games Bust-a-move/Puzzle Bobble and KOF95. Very looking forward to Windjammers 2 since I saw the launch vid for it.
Is always good to see a new video.
Love the NEO GEO! I was able to get mine up and running awhile back...I need to add some carts!!!
Amazing that your EL lights still work!
Love this video. I brought my dedicated Windjammers to SFGE this last year.
Never heard of windjammers looks fun as hell though! I still cant believe that lady gave me that pinball machine (i'm that Terry btw) and yeah man cant wait to see more vids on the Bronco! Keep up the good work man Thanks
i love that game! the sound gives such a liveliness to impacts.
This looks like a lot of fun!
Love the Notre Dame neon sign
I've never heard of this game, but it looks like a ton of fun!
Looks super fun!
I own a piece of that infamous popcorn machine! Bye for now 😂
Cool review.
Haha I’m currently struggling to decide between two Neo Geo games and now I’ve added Windjammers into the mix! This will be fun!
The sound of your basement is music to my ears.
Windjammers is the best!
Looks like you have to make the dog catch the Frisbee maybe?
John, yr popcorn maker now moves like one of the robots on MST3K
So glad you did another cool video. The restore videos are appreciated but were getting stale
If anyone in central Florida is wondering about the name of the arcade bar that is mentioned at about 32 minutes in this video, I did some google searching and it appears to be called Rewind Arcade Bar in Deland. I'll be sure to check it out.
Looks fun. Glad the arcade is still going. How are your arcade outsiders brothers? Would be great to have them as guest hosts on VGO sometime. All the best.
I just got a 4 slot neo geo. What do you think of the 161-1 multicart?
Do us a favor and throw that popcorn machine away. lol.
The end looks better without the lights, more arcade-like! But then you probably couldn't read the e-mails...
When something like cleaner comes out of a spray can or bottle, it _is_ a liquid (even if that's a mist, because mists are liquids).
That popcorn machine looks like its on its last leg. Time to take it out to pasture.
won’t happen. He knows the shaking table and junkie popcorn 🍿 machine annoys us so he keeps them 👎🏼
Shoot some videos behind. Feels good to start watching these again. Game is so great! What did you end up using the scratch resistant "JohnsArcade" decal I made you for lmao?
I owned the original cart for a couple of years and I'm pretty sure the heavey hitters have more chance of knocking their apponent over, but the light hitters have a higher chance of using their special move. The medium hitters have an equal chance of both :)
Looks like a cool game and could be fun with 2 players, can't wait to see if you do a video with a friend playing the game. Please get rid of the popcorn machine it looks ugly!
Love that game. What watch are you wearing there sir ?
Your the man love neo geo
Kind of reminds me of air hockey
Hi John, Windjammers is cool I've played it on MAME. John what's your thoughts on Arcade1Up releasing these cabinets?
Nice 👍
I have a question John I looking to put at pinball machine on location at a ice cream shop do I have to have a licensed and insurance what happenes if it caches on fire .so I’m asking u what should I do and what I need cause I know that u have machine on location
When I just heard of this, I thought it would be a side scroll shooter! lmao
yes, new johns arcade time :)
The spray is 5% vs the D100L which is 100% deoxit. I use the D100 on cartridges.
Hey John what do you think about these new Arcades from Arcade 1up?
I should be reviewing one of those cabs SOON.
John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech nice.. I know you will give us a great review on them. Can’t wait to see if you think there worth the price.
Be sure to open the box that holds the PCB, I'm curious what CPU it's running.
Windjammers!
My favourite mvs are kizuna encounter, shock troopers and maybe garou or last blade 2.
4:30 Mr. Do!
17:03 Saving it to the card let's you start back at the round you last played (you saved at round 2, you will load back at round 2).
19:03 I also highly recommend the memory card for AES owners; most games you only have 4 credits to beat the game, but with the memory card it turns into 4 credits per level. So it's expotentially harder without the memory card, and expotentially easier with it.
I gotta pick this game up, not for the MVS, I don't have a MVS or converter, the AES version is too expensive, so I'm gonna get the Neo Geo CD version.
8:56 - strange how Sessions was the director of the FBI, had stupid ideas like the “winners don’t use drugs” that all kids mocked. And now he is the attorney general for Dump
Different guy lol. William not Jeff.
You should be able to get rid of the yellowing on the card with some peroxide. Paint it on the plastic side only! not the back side, cover in cling film and put it out in the midday sun for an hour wipe it off should get rid of the yellow.
Horrible advice, cling film will make it have a marble look.
I have this game on my Neo Geo, and I just suck at it. I can’t seem to get into it.
Love this game ;)
Alpha mission 2 is a great game on snk classics for ps4
Hey John what happened to your Ghostbusters pinball!!!!
It's on location.
John, any plans on attending SFGE 2019? This was me and my son's first year going, and we loved it. Already registered for next year.
Limitedrungames.com released Windjammers physical on Vita and ps4. I have the vita version. Beautiful game
John, maybe it would have been worth a few mins to Google the PS4/Switch Windjammers game that's been out for a year to avoid having a thousand corrections over what you said lol
Uh, no. I like the natural reaction to games. :)
Hey John what happened to your popcorn maker!!!!!!
It broke.
Hey John just got me a PS4 dual shock controller to play dark souls on the PC. It's the best! Cheers!
KOF would have been my choice :-D
You should get a neo geo 6 game cab
Why? John already has a Neo Geo 161 in 1 cartridge.
Why not make a neo geo arcade cabinet that can play MORE than 4 neo geo games?
This game is just Pong.
How dare you. ;)
I miss John :(
