The TV issue you're talking about is a voltage regulation issue. TVs shoot higher voltage for bright images and lower voltage for darker scenes, this circuit is usually part of the flyback transformer. A shitty TV might not be able to handle this very well.
Ooouuuh... " _had_ friends", that sounded so sad... :( I hope you meant: back in the day, the young days when we all [most] had whole groups of friends (from school, hood, etc.) Like I said, I hope *that's* what you meant.
@@Acrophobia1981 I thought I was the only one that did that. I was playing Mega Man X while the video of James & Mike playing Mega Man X was playing, too lol
I absolutely adore this game. I found it at a garage sale for $5 when I was a kid. My friend and I came up with the name 'Maverick' for the ship, and for some reason 'Lightfrog' for the little helper. 😂
I vividly remember finishing this game on Medium after half a year of hating my life, and getting the ending of "PLAY ON HARD AND GET THE REAL ENDING". It almost broke my soul :P
Finally got a day off where I can watch this while I'm chillin at the house like you guys. Usually I'm in traffic when this pops up on my notifications.
But would they play it since it's on Genesis and they seem to be huge Nintendo fanboys? Genesis has lot of games that no one barely talks about which is shame really.
@@johannesmakila2459 they would still play it, I mean they played Golden Axe. They don't hate on Sega, they're all about Nostalgia and revisiting the past.
Glorious early age SNES rental slowdown magnificence ftw. When you realized the SNES had early slowdown bugs but the slo-mo let you soak it up all the more #1992
I've really always loved the show just being about friends hanging out and playing games and talking, just like we all did back in the day. Besides, the fails you guys do sometimes are hilarious. I dont even like let's play type shows but I always look forward to a new episode of JMM! Especially when you guys just choose random games rather than just trying to choose whatever is most popular.
I remember a friend & I used the music test from this game (cool - stereo sound!) & a few other games & sounds to make a cassette album back in the day. If only we still had it... I also still have the original SNES & Super R-Type. I play it every once in awhile.
I played this on Sega Master System when I was a kid. I was about ten or eleven and I ALMOST beat it. A few years ago I found it for the iPad and it was so much harder. That kind of precision steering just cannot be done on a touchscreen.
You'd think otherwise, huh!... Immediate touch response, finger dragging (I don't know, I imagine you drag the ship with your finger to move it..?) and yet, go figure! On the other hand, maybe it's too much in your way, blocking the screen. I don't like that in many "touch-n-drag" mobile games. Not to mention *this* kind of one...
It's easier with the battery saves. At least it doesn't start you from the beginning of the stage when you die like Super R Type does..ALL OF THE TIME 😑
I haven't played this game either since Super Nintendo was out. I remember the box art tho. However just got Rtype complete CD PC Engine CD. That's a good one.
This reminds me a lot of a side-scrolling space shooter I had on Sega CD, but I can't think of what it was called. It was pretty much like this though except for slightly better Sega CD graphics, but that was about it. I played the hell out of it though...it was a fun game. Surprisingly, as many games as I rented throughout my childhood, I do not ever remember playing this specific space shooter for the SNES. Most of the space games I played were either NES (like their port of Galaga) and then Sega Genesis and beyond.
So you basically announced that we'll have a J&MM on Sexy Parodius at one point... but I think a game like that could be a fresh subject for an AVGN video. Maybe not a whole video, meybe just a clip in an episode, but I wanna see the Nerd play something like that. How about an episode on weird humor japanese games?
@@sebastiann.8088 that's a tough ass game with the 2nd level being the most notorious with turbo tunnel. So if that game is easier then that's really saying sonething
@@milescurtisnorwood9957 I've beaten battletoads so I can say from experience that it is harder. And the turbo tunnel isn't all that hard, you just need to memorize the level. The level 7 stage on the other hand is a COMPLETELY different story lol.
Both games have one thing in common. PRACTICE, repetition, and more practice. Once I learned to overcome the Turbo Tunnel (3rd stage actually, 2nd is shimmying down the pit, but whatever) it wasn't a problem, just the time it took to get to the same spot in the game after you lost all your... continues :P
A friend of mine had an old console TV that would do that vertical scrolling thing. Drove us nuts. Nobody wanted to go to his house to play Nintendo (but we did anyway).
Always been one of my favorite games. I even have a collective soundtrack and a model of the ship. R-type 3 is better, but super is still fun and original. It actually is a few levels of r-type 2 and a few original ones.
When I was a Kiddo, I got so upset when playing this. I smacked it on the head of the cartridge and suddenly I couldn't be hurt by anything... I was flying through walls, it was awesome. Every time after that, I smacked it right after turning it on and 90% of the time it would work. Never tried to beat it without doing that, might just have to now haha.
Oh man, this brings me so many memories, I finished this game like one thousand times, and I'm a very bad player, but it was so addictive...nowadays I have a Xbox One and I bought R-type Dimensions, but for me it was a bit dissapointing, Super R-type was so much better...
When my TV used to roll, I'd slap it across the side and it would work again. I know people see that in movies, but it really did work. Didn't teach me much tolerance for technology though, the solution was apparently violence.
R-Type Final on PS2 is one of my favourite shoot'em ups. It's also pretty manageable difficulty wise being the only game in this genre that I have beaten. There is also a ****ton of ships and weapons to unlock.
Love this game. I even went as far as to play this from very easy to very hard trying to complete it on all difficulties in one sitting. Never done the last one tho
Oh my god, this was one of the games that I got with the SNES my uncle gave me when I was 9. The others were Super Mario World, Primal Rage, Nigel Mansell's F1 (put a lot of time into this one), Strike! (some generic soccer game), Atlanta 1996 (no time put into that one), and Super Turrican 2 (I instantly fell in love with this one. It also scared the shit out of my little brothers. heh.).
I remember playing Gradius 3 long ass time ago and if you died at a boss it was tough because you have to fight him again with barely any power ups the next times.
James Best, aka "Rosco P Coltrane" from the Dukes of Hazzard was a huge Call of Duty fan. Also, most of the wrestlers on the WWE roster today are big gamers too. There's a couple of celebrity gamers for ya.
The whole final fantasy thing isn't that complicated. They released 2 and 3 on the NES but only in japan, so 4, 5, and 6 on the SNES were called 2, 3 and 4 respectively when they came to the US. Then when they got to 7 they decided to just unify the titles and call it 7 all over the world. Makes sense, 7 is a very auspicious number.
Αs much as I love everything Cinemassacre related, I have to say, your Intros/Outros are practically non-existant :D I actually started checking if my speakers were on in the beginning of this video! lol
when james says "rented it" is he sounds so disappointed that they all shrunk into the red box and libraries. there is still a family video connected to a pizza spot in cary Illinois "mimals steak knife state"
They were really challenging & that was one of the great things about those games.I always hated when I'd save up my allowance back then & I'd go out buy a game I thought would last me a while but I'd end up beating it in a day or two.
I actually beat this game on the hardest mode when I was kid. I had some crazy patience and determination when I was younger. Also Mike saying you don't have to know very much to pick up a shmup and see how far you can get almost never applies to arcade shmups Shinobu Yagawa worked on.
People say that Mario, pokemon, and zelda are their childhood but for me, super r-type and gradius 3 are my childhood. There is also another r-type game on the snes that is hard as fuck and I'm really good at these kind of games.
James & Mike Mondays - Just Dicking Around since 2013

Dicking around is fine, just don’t start cocking about.
Damn, it's been that long?
Wow 5 years.

how do you know that?! :D
ok but if you carbonate the nitrogen impulse power core, it should compensate for the variance in the neutrino field.
Like putting too much air in a balloon!
Rory O'Toole I think you're forgetting the polarity issue caused by the expelling of the sodium bicarbonate used to degauss the field
Deconverted Man Some people do things outside of playing video games.
I like watching James & Mike Mondays in lieu of Angry Nerd. It's cool to see good friends just chilling (reminds me of when I had friends)

I like to binge watch all the James and Mike episodes every few months,it's good background noise while playing a game. ;P

That Macaulay Culkin foreshadowing is great. I wonder at this time if they'd ever know Culkin would be playing with them on that same couch.
I absolutely adore this game. I found it at a garage sale for $5 when I was a kid. My friend and I came up with the name 'Maverick' for the ship, and for some reason 'Lightfrog' for the little helper. 😂
This was easily the hardest game I ever beat as a kid! Great music too!!

G.I.JOE
The other half is forgetting what you already know.

Finally got a day off where I can watch this while I'm chillin at the house like you guys. Usually I'm in traffic when this pops up on my notifications.
I don't particularly love the scrolling space shooters like Gradius, but I loved Super-R Type. Like Mike said, just a great game.
Mike had too much coffee today.
I dont think thats coffee...
@@a1rh3add Sweet Tea?
It probably is coffee to be fair. Wawa.
Bolivian white coffee is a great pick-me-up. Toot toot!
You guys should play Gunstar Heroes sometime. REALLY fun two player genesis game.
I'll played that game. One of the best shoot em up games on the sega genesis
But would they play it since it's on Genesis and they seem to be huge Nintendo fanboys? Genesis has lot of games that no one barely talks about which is shame really.
@@johannesmakila2459 Yeah they do play WAY more snes games than any other console, but I'm sure they could get around to playing it.

James is Chronologically Confused about R-Type

Yep, much of the difficulty is your finger getting in the way so you cannot see incoming bullets. But also, that necessary tactile feel is missing.
They totally messed up their "The only gas giant is......" setup.
IT'S URANUS!!!
It's all about Space Mega Force! "Presented about Toho"
the cam seems to be a bit behind the gameplay being shown... or james is slow on the reactions
I remember this game. It was fucken hard. I loved the sound of the explosions and the music rocked. .
Best part? The "Did we play Double Dragon?" back-and-forth bit.
This was one of my favourite games on my Atari 1040st computer, along with Xenon 2!!
I personally prefer R-Type III: The Third Lightning.
Super R-Type had the better soundtrack but The Third Lightning had the better gameplay
It's easier with the battery saves. At least it doesn't start you from the beginning of the stage when you die like Super R Type does..ALL OF THE TIME 😑
@@milescurtisnorwood9957 I hated that too. Even on Easy it sends you back to the beginning of the stage. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Check point in the middle of stage is not a good idea for Shmup game believe me.
@@gunbuckybucketman4578 Not with THIS game.
Super R-Type is one of my favorite SNES games. Also, Parodius is epic!
How could James say he'd never heard of Parodius or even the genre: 'cute 'em up'...?!
One of my favourite childhood games is R-Type Delta
I haven't played this game either since Super Nintendo was out. I remember the box art tho. However just got Rtype complete CD PC Engine CD. That's a good one.
"Just dicking around and stuff"
-Shakespeare Mike
OMG this brings back memories! I always loved the R-type series,1942 & 1943.
I remember calling this game Gradius Megaman. Its because you fly around in a ship but you can charge your shots by holding down the shoot button.
This game was SO much fun to rent when it came out. Even though I was shit at it I still loved it lol
i always wanted to see james and mike play r-type and finally have someone who absolutely loves it like i do!
Series should be renamed to "Dickin' around with Motherf*cker Mike on Monday's that are AAAAASSSS!!11!". Not overly long, is it?
We're Just Dicking Around should be a James and Mike T-Shirt
Now we know that Maculay Culkin has played the home alone games
Looks like Mike went to the Banquet Conquistador school of pronouncing "penguin".
This reminds me a lot of a side-scrolling space shooter I had on Sega CD, but I can't think of what it was called. It was pretty much like this though except for slightly better Sega CD graphics, but that was about it. I played the hell out of it though...it was a fun game.

OH I may know the name of the game you are looking for! Was it Robo Aleste? Or Solfeace?
I love R type!!!
I leave for basic training Monday and I asked myself how would I like to spend my last weekend. Cinemassacre marathon
A flashback in a flashback... _Cinemassacre-ception_
the nerd died at the exact same point 3 times
So you basically announced that we'll have a J&MM on Sexy Parodius at one point... but I think a game like that could be a fresh subject for an AVGN video. Maybe not a whole video, meybe just a clip in an episode, but I wanna see the Nerd play something like that.
How about an episode on weird humor japanese games?
R Type III - lightning strike is and always was my favorite game. I´ve played through it so many times...
"Fucking around, dicking around"
Mike said that quite a bit.
Hard ass game that'll send you to the beginning of the stage if you die. Ahh, the classics that'll send your blood pressure through the roof
I honestly do think battletoads is easier than this game.
@@sebastiann.8088 that's a tough ass game with the 2nd level being the most notorious with turbo tunnel. So if that game is easier then that's really saying sonething

The best R-Type is Delta.
You guys need to do Pop n Twinbee and Giga Wing also
Two guys just chillin playing games. Life's simple pleasures.
James & Mike play super R-Type while driving a Type R.
When James mentions the vertical scrolling, it reminded me of the vertical scrolling in Street Fighter 2010.
My memories of R-Type are playing it on the Spectrum 48 and it was by far the best graphics. Also it was incredibly difficult.
"Dickkin' Around With James and Mike Mondays"
Always been one of my favorite games. I even have a collective soundtrack and a model of the ship. R-type 3 is better, but super is still fun and original. It actually is a few levels of r-type 2 and a few original ones.
If I ever met James I would want him to sign a copy of Dr Jekyll and My Hyde as a joke
Awesome! Thanks for finally covering this series!
that whole gas giant conversation was fucked
When I was a Kiddo, I got so upset when playing this. I smacked it on the head of the cartridge and suddenly I couldn't be hurt by anything... I was flying through walls, it was awesome. Every time after that, I smacked it right after turning it on and 90% of the time it would work. Never tried to beat it without doing that, might just have to now haha.
One of the many great side scrolling shooters of the SNES and personal faves, keep em coming James & Mike.

And a happy labor day to you as well!
Yeah, I don't think the people in the concentration camps would like that one...
Flipping you off from work
I don't think people care about labor day
Thanks! I cared that you cared
Love this game. I even went as far as to play this from very easy to very hard trying to complete it on all difficulties in one sitting. Never done the last one tho
You guys would like cybernator for snes. I loved that gem
@@torgogorgo1888 Metal Warriors is an expensive game though
Always thought of J&M Mondays as you two either checking stuff out or beating a childhood fav.
This was one of my favorites. I could never get a full two runs on hard and pro, though. I always choked on stage five, I think, on Pro.
Parodius on the snes is awesome, defo get round to doing a James and Mike Monday's on that one
Used to love this game!
Oh my god, this was one of the games that I got with the SNES my uncle gave me when I was 9.

Mike and James, you guys ROCK!
I remember playing Gradius 3 long ass time ago and if you died at a boss it was tough because you have to fight him again with barely any power ups the next times.
Actually you lost all the power uos upon dying so basically you started with nothing
@@sebastiann.8088 yeah sometimes you could get 1 or 2 power ups before the boss but still pretty useless lol.
That sounds ODDLY familiar... :P
Amazing game! Last time i played it was in 1998, good memories 😃
James Best, aka "Rosco P Coltrane" from the Dukes of Hazzard was a huge Call of Duty fan. Also, most of the wrestlers on the WWE roster today are big gamers too. There's a couple of celebrity gamers for ya.
1:41 perfect timing there
If Mike likes the "force " mechanic in R-Type, he'd probably like the "TOZ" mechanic in Gaiares for the Genesis. Nice video guys.
Damn, now we're itching to play a little Super R-Type! Parodius sounds really interesting; may have to look into it.
“That confirmed the whole game is simons quest”
Haha that double dragon thing was hilarious. Should have done it again anyway. For April fool's next year maybe
Omg I totally forgot about James's big fucking sideburns back in the day. Haha
James is at 1000% concentration in this video lol
Yeah finally, play more of this series
The whole final fantasy thing isn't that complicated. They released 2 and 3 on the NES but only in japan, so 4, 5, and 6 on the SNES were called 2, 3 and 4 respectively when they came to the US. Then when they got to 7 they decided to just unify the titles and call it 7 all over the world. Makes sense, 7 is a very auspicious number.
Third Lightening is where it's at.
Yep
I like just listening to you guys talk. I don't have to watch until Mike Laughs.
Αs much as I love everything Cinemassacre related, I have to say, your Intros/Outros are practically non-existant :D
I actually started checking if my speakers were on in the beginning of this video! lol
1943 and Captain Skyhawk are both great vertical shooters for NES. Highly recommended if you haven't tried either yet.
when james says "rented it" is he sounds so disappointed that they all shrunk into the red box and libraries. there is still a family video connected to a pizza spot in cary Illinois "mimals steak knife state"
They were really challenging & that was one of the great things about those games.I always hated when I'd save up my allowance back then & I'd go out buy a game I thought would last me a while but I'd end up beating it in a day or two.
i remember playing r-type on the commodore 64. man i am getting old
Dude the music in that port was awesome! I think the music was better than the arcade version of R-Type 1
I actually beat this game on the hardest mode when I was kid. I had some crazy patience and determination when I was younger.
Also Mike saying you don't have to know very much to pick up a shmup and see how far you can get almost never applies to arcade shmups Shinobu Yagawa worked on.
Super R Type is a kick ass game shooting space ship games all the way.
The funky soundtrack is the best part of this game.
Nice to see shooter games were still being made for consoles. I know Lifeforce on NES but they were mainly in the Atari 2600 and arcade era.
If this game was on Sega Genesis there would be no slowdown.
Super R-Type or better known as the slowest shooter on the SNES. They never made it to the most hectic levels where the frames drop to single digits.
Uranus is a gas giant, should launch a mission there to wipe out the klingons!
People say that Mario, pokemon, and zelda are their childhood but for me, super r-type and gradius 3 are my childhood. There is also another r-type game on the snes that is hard as fuck and I'm really good at these kind of games.
Rtype for master system i remember playing as a kid and still do so good times man
