Tips: - DON'T spend the ammo (flamethrower and spread shot) like a "cowboy". - DON'T waste the keys like wild. Save it to get the super weapon. - Use the "Red Grenades". They're powerful.
This game was in a Round Table Pizza when I was a child. I have literally gone my whole life thinking this game was a Contra sequel, like I literally thought it was called Contra 3 or 4. MY LIFE IS A LIE.
It's Actually a Sequel to Ikari Warriors, another Data East Gem!! This is my Favorite Game of ALL TIME. I've beaten the entire game on just ONE QUARTER... Twice. (of course i spent a bucketload getting THAT good...)
One of the most exciting arcade game every made. Too bad the lack of rotary stick make console ports much more difficult to control than the arcade. Love the rotary stick idea.
I played this on the nes growing up as i kid i always thought the were originals but as i got older i realized all the games i ever played were ports from the arcades.
I remember Jack Patillo mentioned this game few years ago on the RT podcast. He said he was working on rebuilding the cabinet. He made the game sound way more fun than it actually appears to be.
I remember the NES game, but I’ve never played this original arcade version. The NES version was solid, but a great game. I played the NES version of “Heavy Barrel” and it was a fun game.
I definitely played this in the late 80's, with the rotating joystick to change shooting direction, and I remember those moving platforms on level 2. I DON'T remember it being this ugly though, but things look different on a CRT.
I would no-death finish this game between classes at the campus game room every day, drew a crowd every time. :D Good times! This and Blasteroids were my favorites that year.
Out of every arcade game in the world, whenever someone says, "arcade game from the 80's" I think of the sound effects from this game! "Aaaatack! Uhg! Ahhh! Aaatack!
The game Ikari Warriors wishes it could be. Getting the Heavy Barrel before a boss battle almost never happened and its usage has a time limit whether you use it or not.
I remember playing this game at the local supermarket near my middle school after classes. With just one $0.25 I can beat the game. I figured it was best to complete the heavy barrel super-gun just before the final boss.
Wait this is actually Midnight Resistance in 3D top down view... A lot of resemblance the enemies death animation... Fire and three way gun and barrier are exactly what Midnight Resistance had
Ok at the end I figured out why it is by Data East that's why... Both were wonderful games... Midnight Resistance was a little better than Heavy Barrel
The nes port was the first game (i received two at the same time) i ever owned as a poor kid in the late 90's. The last boss is easier looking on the arcade version the NES those missiles are guided
Heavy Barrel is legendary Data East Game with a vengeance Two Gungho Soldiers are sent on a mission to destroy the enemy rebel fighters On an enemy controlled island with Spectacular Boss battles Unleash the legendary Heavy Barrel and Furious firepower This is 2Fast 2Furious and entertaining shoot em up that is Fast and Furious
I tried to play it on M.A.M.E., but without the "turnable" (I don't know how it's called) stick, it was too difficult and wasn't that funny as on the arcade.
You can try to get better sensitivity, I usually up 5 numbers in MAME and get better results, others like Lost Worlds or Midnight Resistance work better after that. It's a nice thing all up until I can make a Rotatory Joystick to use on this games

Oh man this was like one of my all time fav arcade games to play. I can't get enough of that game.
One of Data East's best. Absolutely love this game!
The NES version was a decent port of this original arcade game.
HEAAAAAAAAAAVY BARREL!
Great use of voice sampling there.
The NES version had a terrible voice sampling after collecting all the pieces, it shouted "Hee-Bar!"
Hahaha if we gonna speak about “voices“ arcade and nes, or Snes is obvious
This guay play Good who is he?
This is the game in a nut shell "Uhh, ahh, uhh, ahh, uhh, at-tack, HEAVY BARREL!"
In the NES version where it only says “HEEBRILL”. There was no shouts like “Attack” and grunt sounds in that version.
Excellent Pax humana, and this guy really plays!, this one was harder
It,has very good voice sounds ,for that time
I use to tear this game up in my local arcades.
My oldest son used to play it at Tacos Too!
My older brother was badass at this game. I used to watch in amazement lol. Good times
I liked it, but I sucked at it.
Tips:
- DON'T spend the ammo (flamethrower and spread shot) like a "cowboy".
- DON'T waste the keys like wild. Save it to get the super weapon.
- Use the "Red Grenades". They're powerful.
I haven't played this for over 30 years, but I still remember the awesome destructiveness of the red grenades
I played the Nes version of this game. It was pretty sweet.
Amazing the conversion got most of it onto the NES
The end boss is ridiculously easy to defeat if you got the Heavy Barrel gun.
Played the crap out of this at the arcade growing up. This game, Gauntlet and Street Fighter all day long!
This game was in a Round Table Pizza when I was a child. I have literally gone my whole life thinking this game was a Contra sequel, like I literally thought it was called Contra 3 or 4. MY LIFE IS A LIE.
same here, except it was a rail shooter called Laser Ghost and I wanted to believe it was a Ghostbusters title 😅
It's Actually a Sequel to Ikari Warriors, another Data East Gem!! This is my Favorite Game of ALL TIME. I've beaten the entire game on just ONE QUARTER... Twice. (of course i spent a bucketload getting THAT good...)
Lol it was the spread gun huh
@@KENDOG419ALSO Ikari Warriors is from SNK and they later used the charaters in King of Fighters
Read up on the Enduro Racer ending so you can get your life straightened out again...
8:01
HEAAAVYYYYYYYY Barrel
I love that HEAVY BARREL sound. XD
That’s more like it. A lot better than the godawful 8-bit digitized voice in the NES version where he says “HEEBRILL”.
One of the most exciting arcade game every made. Too bad the lack of rotary stick make console ports much more difficult to control than the arcade. Love the rotary stick idea.
I played this on the nes growing up as i kid i always thought the were originals but as i got older i realized all the games i ever played were ports from the arcades.

same company who made midnight resistance
look so familiar
8:01 heavyyy barrel!
This is the first time I've heard that in 26 years..!
This game reminds me of Ikari Warriors.Thought it was a follow up to said game,but Ikari Warriors was made by a different company(SNK).
I remember the NES game, but I’ve never played this original arcade version. The NES version was solid, but a great game. I played the NES version of “Heavy Barrel” and it was a fun game.
I definitely played this in the late 80's, with the rotating joystick to change shooting direction, and I remember those moving platforms on level 2. I DON'T remember it being this ugly though, but things look different on a CRT.
That's some serious fire power ! This guy is just peppering these dudes.
I would no-death finish this game between classes at the campus game room every day, drew a crowd every time. :D Good times! This and Blasteroids were my favorites that year.
The first QuikTrip gas station in Wichita KS had this when I was a kid, next to High Speed pinball. So rad.
Out of every arcade game in the world, whenever someone says, "arcade game from the 80's" I think of the sound effects from this game! "Aaaatack! Uhg! Ahhh! Aaatack!
Nice video , I almost forgot about this game
Loved this game
I remeber playing this at my favorite pizza place..brings back old memories.
Wow! Frenetic game!
I could 1 credit this, no hit, no lives lost .... fav game
The game Ikari Warriors wishes it could be. Getting the Heavy Barrel before a boss battle almost never happened and its usage has a time limit whether you use it or not.
Man I never beat this game, but the secret weapon out there surely not as dangerous as this guy with HEAVYYYYYYYY BARREL!
Oh man I remember when my local candy store got this machine. I probably put $100 bucks in it. This game was so addicting.
Just a shame this guy didn't carry along a HEAVVYYYYYYY BARREL weapon to Midnight Resistance too
The good old days when you didn't need a story just a big gun and lots of enemies 😎
i used to play heavy barrel back in 87... never even came close to this point...
One of my best, games
This was one of the first games I beat. Got to a point I could beat it on 1 quarter.
I remember playing this game at the local supermarket near my middle school after classes. With just one $0.25 I can beat the game. I figured it was best to complete the heavy barrel super-gun just before the final boss.
Best arcade game ever 😊ohhh was a nice and lovely time
Una vez me gasté mi Domingo tratando de "darle la vuelta" a este juegazo por allá en el siglo veinte.
basically every modern game is just a remake of Heavy Barrel
в России это был хак с названием Chip and Dale 3(NES)
Voice Of this game sound awesome
Excellent
Play this in arcade 94-95. Nice game it was....
8:02 HEAVY BARREL!!!
12:44 HEAVY BARREL!!!
20:46 HEAVY BARREL!!!
Great game
Best game ever i played 30years a go 🤩🤩🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
UNGH UNGH UNGH WAT WAT WAT
Favorite game! Beat it with 1 quarter! HEAVY BARREL!
Used to kill the end boss w the heavy every time. Good shit.
I used to plan it to where I would get the Heavy Barrel at the end.
This level of perfection has Billy Mitchell written all over it...someone check the board hahaha!!! just kidding Billy dont sue me
Wait this is actually Midnight Resistance in 3D top down view... A lot of resemblance the enemies death animation... Fire and three way gun and barrier are exactly what Midnight Resistance had
Ok at the end I figured out why it is by Data East that's why... Both were wonderful games... Midnight Resistance was a little better than Heavy Barrel
Good memories.
AH TACK AH TACK
The nes port was the first game (i received two at the same time) i ever owned as a poor kid in the late 90's. The last boss is easier looking on the arcade version the NES those missiles are guided
This game was cool. To build the full weapon and then blew all away.
5:00 lol eat your heart out neo contra. I may actually buy the data east mini thanks to this video.
is the grenade guy defending the passage (9:50 and thereabouts) impossible to take down?
Data east made the best games in the late 80s
Game sold to arcades as a conversion/upgrade to the popular ' Ikari Warriors '
Have this game but player won't turn different directions for some reason
somersault through all the gates.
This is another John Rambo type of video game. It's just like 'Victory Road.' The sequel to 'Ikari Warriors.' 😍
Anybody else getting Victory Road vibes? Idk which game came first but they are VERY similar
i lo ve this
Heavy Barrel is legendary Data East Game with a vengeance
Two Gungho Soldiers are sent on a mission to destroy the enemy rebel fighters
On an enemy controlled island with Spectacular Boss battles
Unleash the legendary Heavy Barrel and Furious firepower
This is 2Fast 2Furious and entertaining shoot em up that is Fast and Furious
Midnight resistance part 1?
Great! :) What controller do you use to play this?..Thanx :)
Games have come SO far from these days.
This is like commando on steroids
The barrier and flame gun looks similar to ones in Midnight Resistance
This game is technically speaking Midnight but Top-Camera
I'm sure all of us that have actually played this game can agree that there is no way this guy legit beat this game without getting hit once
This game was the shiz-nite!
Was this the first DE game with the dual-knob joysticks?
+thecowboy2 Time Soldiers and Irkari Warriors preceded this...I think Irkari Warriors was first
Cobra Assault Cannon: the game.
You guys like this or contra better?
15:20 where the enemy soldier is running LOL
I think this game is more complete than the midnight resistance.
I always felt like this was better than Smash TV and it came before it.
I remember one day me and a group of 3-4 friends blew through like $10 apiece to get to the end of this.
The most difficult TV games
came in this 400 in 1 i got on amazon.. but its the nes port
Heavyyyy barrel! @ 8:00
Played it recently on some ghetto handheld
8:03 if your like me and you just wanted to hear HEEEEAAAVVVYYY BARREL!!
17:38 Howwww in the fkkkk is this ..even...wow 😂😂
Same company that made midnight resistance.
I played this in the arcade as a child that voice that repeatedly says "YOU DIE!" was annoying even then lol
13:07 Mistaaaake!
8:01
2 arcade
Ready Player One
Why are you wasting so much bullets when there is no enemy to be killed?
rotary joysitck
I tried to play it on M.A.M.E., but without the "turnable" (I don't know how it's called) stick, it was too difficult and wasn't that funny as on the arcade.
You can try to get better sensitivity, I usually up 5 numbers in MAME and get better results, others like Lost Worlds or Midnight Resistance work better after that.
It's a nice thing all up until I can make a Rotatory Joystick to use on this games
One....

Unlimited ammo!
