Watching this made me tear up a little bit. You never know how good you’ve got it until it’s gone.
cadillacs and Dinoasaur, Aero Fighter 2, Double Dragon (Arcade) were classics in Cape Town.
Demon Front was a gem for me that I wished I played more to get better at it and so is Shock Troopers 2.
Hey bro. I'm from Durban. Loved the days of the Arcade. Old is gold
Red Earth (1996) Underrated Classic
Try monster maulers by konami. Same type of game, but more fun
Got it on Capcom Arcade Stadium
wow so many games i forgot about and remember now because of this video. thank you for the trip down memory lane. you just gave me a new life goal: earn enough money to buy the arcade games :D
Nice watching this, you know Shock trooper made me think its the evolution of those airplane shooter games. First thing that came to mind soon as I saw it. Shows we've never stoped playing pong. lol.
nice vid.
I have a Moonwalker arcade cab in my living room. Made me happy to see that game start your video :)
thanks for highlighting the capcom willow arcade game. LOVED THAT GAME! I held out hope they would port it to mega drive/genesis, it never happened. I wish they would re-release it
I don't recall "Street Fighter Alpha 3" being an underrated game if it's considered by many to be one of the greatest titles in the Street FIghter series that is still worth playing, so I'm pretty surprised to see it featured on this list. If there is one Capcom fighting game that I feel should be featured on here, however, it would have to be "DarkStalkers: The Night Warriors" or even its follow-up "Night Warriors: DarkStalkers' Revenge".
Think the same, many of this games are absolute hits like street fighter alpha 3, it was ported into who knows how many consoles ahhaha saying it is underrated is totally false but nice list for ppl wanting some great games on their emulation list
I mean what do you expect from a video created by chatgpt with an ai voice reader? It's lifeless, shallow content.
Everybody knows about Street Fighter Alpha 3 lol.
@@KSigKid I don't about that, since there obviously was a human person responsible for making such a list...
The same is valid for "The King of Fighters 97".
SO, SO glad to see _Battle Circuit_ on this list, although, if a least to most ranking list, I’d’ve put it higher - ‘especially ‘cause _Metamorphic Force_ and _League Bowing 1990_ seem to get a lotta love. _Battle Circuit_ seems to have shown up on the _Capcom Beat ‘em Up Collection,_ but until it gets diffused across the gaming landscape and/or “fanboyed” after a time, folks generally don’t know what they’ve got. Perhaps the strangest Beat ‘em Up, ever, executed perfectly - with all the best mechanics of the genre _and_ a “bad” and “good” ending, the latter of which can 1.5X your entire game score, _if you create the chance!_
Can’t believe that the first time I just decided to blow up the place... 🤦♂️ Great work, overall! Thanks! I got a couple titles to check out, here - which is no easy thing to do, considering I’ve been playing arcade games since I was 4 - in the summer of ‘77.
WIndjammers, still is a great game. Had a Neo-Geo MVS ages ago and had Windjammers. If you had a Neo-Geo with Windjammers and Neo-Turf Masters you would never be bored.
Brings back so many memories. Thanks to MAME, I also discovered Ninja Baseball Bat Man and it's a fantastic game! Have played it many times.
Love the thumbnail, specifically the left side of it.
Neo-Geo is the most underrated gaming system. The best ever made!
How can I, a Mercs fanboy, get to 46 years of age without learning about shocktoopers. Love at first site.
Don't feel bad I was only learned of it in past years and I'm 41
me too... but thanks to MAME ... i will... till the end
Sheet happened 😂
The 3 different routes in Shock Trooper does more than just take you to different levels. Each of the 8 characters specializes in one of 3 routes, which results in faster movement. Also, at the start of each stage you get a life bonus, this bonus is bigger if the character used is in the route they specialize in.
*Beat ‘Em Ups*
Warrior Blade (Taito)
Vendetta (Konami)
Hook (Irem)
Knights Of Valour (IGS)
*Fighting Games*
Golden Axe : The Duel (Sega)
The Last Blade (SNK)
Rage Of Dragons (Playmore)
*Shoot ‘Em Ups*
Raiden (Fabtek)
Ghost Pilots (SNK)
Twin Eagle II (Taito)
are some decent games that I don’t hear about often.
I think raiden is one of the most talked about shooters and was one of the most common cabinets back in the day. Most people seem to agree ghost pilots isn't a very good game. Shoot em ups are pretty niche but within that niche it's pretty well known which are the really good games
Great nostalgia video. I'm surprised that Shadow Dancer wasn't mentionned.
Windjammers is my personal pick as most underrated arcade game ever.
I bought a Neo Geo Cd in the mid 00’s and me and my mates were obsessed with that game for a while.
Such an easy set of controls but so competitive and addictive.
League Bowling on Neo Geo is another massively underrated game in my opinion too.
I was hoping I'd see Virtua On on this list, that was such a great game.
Well paced and edited, great work
Wow! Thanks for this!
Wrestlefest... Wrestlefest which you state in your own video was "a hit in arcades"... and spoken fondly of today by everyone who was around at the time, even if they didn't ilke wrestling.... was underrated... How exactly?
And Street Figther Alpha 3, the game so beloved it was nigh-on perfectly ported to the playstation and saturn and beloved by all. Underrated.
Go look up the word, underrated. It doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.
Moo Mesa was a great show and the game very solid.. can be beat on one credit
My ears literally curled up when I heard you pronounce Elora Danan so different from the way everyone says it in the film.
Finally some appreciation for Escape from the Planet of Robot Monsters. Although delivered with an AI voice (at least it sounds like), which somehow fits.
really enjoyed that vid!..well made...
Great review, didn't know how much 1 can talk about classic games 🤣 I remember playing most of these game back in the 80s and 90s & could 1CC them.
zero team i'm been looking for that game almost 30years thx man
When they got shock troopers at the local pizza place I was down there all the time!!!
I've been looking for the name of the Crime Fighters game game for years! THANK YOU!
A dop dastic list of griddy bead em ups from the eighdy's and nined'ys! Fandastic!
Love shocktroopers!
Had it on the psp so never had a chance to play it co-op
Golden axe, caddilacs and dinossaurs and superpang ate all my coins
Cadillacs and dinosaurs!
Awesome video !! Very detailed !!
Glad you liked It ❤
I was in junior high when Asteroids came out. In addition to it, I loved Tempest, PacMan, Frogger, Popeye, DigDug, Pole Position, Centipede and other "golden age" classics. They were silly and harmless. I lost interest when they became so overtly violent; that is, killing people. "Eating" a ghost and "pumping" up a pooka is one thing, but the constant shooting of people, pulling their spines out and that sort of thing just seemed to bring out too much aggression. Even in Space Invaders, the enemy was barely more than just an abstract shape. And you were only dodging barrels in Donkey Kong. And who know what those weird shapes in Tempest were supposed to be! It seems that when the graphics got better, people just wanted to pretend they were shooting at people.
Que vídeo incrível, a maioria estou conhecendo agora com seu vídeo, aqui no Brasil a grande maioria não fez esse sucesso a não ser os mais clássicos, Moonwalker, BATTLETOADS etc.
Do you will continue with the solo reviews of "hidden gems" ?
Sorry but underrated by who?
By new generation maybe while other play high graphics game im here browsing old game
@@altern6181New Gen can go play their open world sand box games .. This is not for them
It's chat gpt or something
By him i guess.
@@jdn5593 there is no him
Air Gallet oh man i love this game same with Mars Matrix but this video has so many awesome games my favorite genre being shoot em ups
Something doesn't sit right anymore with saving the children in Moonwalker...
Good to see shock troopers get some reignition
Golden axe man I dropped so many quarters into that machine lol
This channel is extremely underrated! Great voice sir!
Bot voice
0:03 groove-a-tron
You could adjust your microphone volume because it is too high sometimes but nice video.
Nice memories for gen x.
Great list minus Moonwalker. Moonwalker sucks! 😂
Great video.
Wind Jammers is like a 1 vs 1 version of Super Dodgeball except it way faster.
Ironically most, if not all of these games have already been on “hidden gem” videos over the years that of course now, they are no longer hidden. Always a gem though.
+ Surprise Attack (Shinobi Clone)
|Willow was my game back in the day 👍
Just beat shocktroopers last night. Cool game
Reminds me of mercs
Alien vs predator as my game in the 90s
Wardner / Pyros: Underrated hidden gem.
Its important to note that the 2nd shock troopers game is ok but no way as good as the 1st.
Martial Champion IMO was very underrated. It was an above average fighting game and better than most of the other Street Fighter clones of the time.
I have all of these on my Pandora Arcade
Interesting list and some good games on there but I wouldn't call them underrated. I would say they are all fairly well known as all later games, especially as a few neo-geo ones on there. Try looking back a decade and playing some of the older ones. The gameplay can outweigh the fancy graphics easily. I think I even prefer the original Elevator Action to the sequal
Shock Troopers 1 & 2 should've been developed as 怒IKARI IV & V.
Battle Circuit on the other hand should've been developed as Captain Commando 2.
CRIMEFIGHTERS🔥🔥🔥
Can alsonrecomend oriental legend and dyna gear. This games are underated as f. If you like metamorphic force you will most likely love oriental legend. I liked it more. Gameplay is more complex but ymthe music does not beat metamorphic force. Dyna gear is a run and gun in the future with dinosaurs. Try it. Its more fun than it looks.
A great arcade game I'll never forget was this zombie game called "Brain Of The Dead" or "Dead Of The Brain". It's one of the goriest zombie games I've seen!
Street Fighter Alpha 3 doesnt have just defends
Underrated or BELOVED games?
Time soldier arcade
Toki arcade
Snow bros arcade
AIR wing carrier Tomcat arcade
You left out Numans Athletics
Sunset Riders
He the original Batman 😂
Most of them are famous lol!
Ninja Baseball Batman.
Daraku Tenshi and Waku Waku 7
1941 and 1942 they miss
None of these games are underrated, they're all well known and well loved.
gpt?
The King of Fighters 97? Underrated?
Since when was Shock troopers underrated?
Im pretty sure the guy making these videos doesn't quite understand what underrated actually means.
Underrated ?
Never seen such stupid and disgusting games. Thanks for showing. ❤. 🐁🐷🦌🐮
Cabal!
Dude, kof 97, sfa3 was huge sucess on arcades all around. Click bait list of yours sucks hell.
Quarters? You sound english
Is this script auto generated? The voice is synthesised. But the script seems particularly banal.

Meth is bad.
What use is this video if you don't even bother to name the games, how is this supposed to introduce new people to these games if they don't know what they are called ? Lazy.....
It does tell you what the games are… and the date released.
If you actually watched the video before complaining… you would know.
Lazy indeed…
Once again, the title might as well be "25 random games" many of these aren't underrated at all. I need to remember not to bother clicking on your vids.
