I was thinking about a couple of suggestions (Dolphin Blue and Gunners Heaven)...when I saw them coming up in the last part of the video. I'll start with two recent ones: Blazing Chrome (out on basically every platform - ok it's not that obscure) and Hard Corps: Uprising, an overlooked PSN/XBLA exclusive from the PS3/360 era. Then, even if I'm not sure they're obscure, Cyber-Lip on the Neo Geo, Journey to Silius on NES and Ruff 'n' Tumble on Amiga. And a crazy, silly freeware one for Windows called Blip Blop, if it's still available around. And then some Commodore 64 obscurities: Another World (by x-ample software, NOT the same as Out of this World/Another World by Delphine), Rubicon and Zamzara.
When I see an unknown game , I have same feeling: How in the hell hadn't known this game before!? 😄 Thank you for bringing more Run n' Gun hidden gems 👍👌💗🕹

Some of them are new to me too, there are plenty I missed. And I love discovering them. So making these videos has been super fun and a discovery for me as well.
run n guns recs on Steam: - Contra Anniversary Collection - Blazing Chrome (Contra Hard Corps spiritual sequel) - Super Cyborg (HardCorps/Shattered Soldier structure, Contra/Super Contra NES aesthetic) - Metal Slugs (although I'd recommend emulating or picking up the Windows store ACA releases) - Cuphead + DLC - Huntdown (has more in common with Elevator Action Returns than Contra/Metal Slug) - BroForce and Expendabros (not my cup of tea but people like them) - Spectacular Sparky (a Treasure-like, quite easy) - Bleed 1 + 2 - Tanuki Justice - Mighty Goose (easier version of Metal Slug) - Gel-Tank (Japanese run n gun based on Metal Slug) - Valfaris (run n gun n slasher by the guys who brought you Slain, based on many Contra 3 tropes) - Kero Blaster (by the guy who brought you CAVE Story) - Noitu Love 2 Evolution (Not really a run n gun particularly but has a similar flow. Underrated and weird game) - Iron Meat (add to wishlist, try the demo) - Super Time Force - Exit the Dungeon - Mercenary Kings (by the same guys that recently brought you TMNT, think Monster Hunter + Metal Slug) - My Friend Pedro - Bot Vice (Gallery Shooter) - Gunhound Ex (Cybernator styled game) - Rocketon (interesting doujin game) - Gigantic Army (Cybernator styled game) - Biolab Wars (NES Contra style) - Clash Force (reminiscent of Bucky o Hare on NES aesthetically, plays a bit different) - Alien Splatter Redux (NES inspired run n gun) - Gun Crazy (VERY Gunstar Heroes, quite short though)

That’s some luck! I’ve yet to ever see this game in the wild. Would’ve been all over it back in the day. Instead had to discover it online not all that long ago. The music is what first struck me as it was on a level above their more popular arcade games at the time. More than just background fodder.
I can't believe Mystic Warriors is SO overlooked, I absolutely love it. It's significantly harder than Sunset Riders too, but it's a wonderful time. Thanks for the video, as always, I love to discover new games with these :)

You're welcome and agreed. We see overlooked games by more obscure devs all the time, but it's surprising how this style of game by a big dev like Konami just didn't take off. Maybe it just released at the wrong time or too late. I'm just glad I eventually found it.

Demon Front & Mystic Warriors are 2 games that I had the chance to talk about with Metal Jesus in the “10 More Arcade Games” video on his channel back in 2017.

Welcome to the channel! You're not alone as most of these games I never saw or new growing up either. They were obscure for the most part. It's been great discovering them through various channels and sometimes even while researching for videos. I've made a lot of really good discovery oriented and nostalgic videos, so I hope you enjoy some of my other stuff. This series has proven really popular so far so I definitely plan to do more. Was considering action platformers next as there are a ton of obscure ones there that I'd love to show.

I admit it's not easy making the scripts. Trying to keep it at 2-3min per game, sometimes a bit more, but not getting overly lengthy. There is a lot I end up cutting out to keep it flowing even if I can't delve into every tiny detail. I was hoping to cover even more games here but ran out of time to add the 3-5 more I had planned. Really glad you are enjoying these. I like making them and the first one did so well I wasn't going to stop. There's a ton of really great action platformers out there too I've been wanting to show and talk about, so maybe that'll be the next one in line. As I'm a huge fan of great platforming games like Cannon Dancer, which is finally getting a physical release next year.

@ShmupJunkie
Жыл бұрын
There's definitely hope since it's Konami and they have been reviving old games. Demon Front probably a long shot since it's a much smaller long defunct developer. So getting the rights may be tough. At least there's good emulation in the meantime. If you love the Slug games you'll definitely be all over it. It's much more jump oriented whereas jumping much in Metal Slug is usually a recipe for death.

Welcome! Glad you found the video and my channel. I honestly don’t understand the purpose of those pasted footage only videos. I’m making these for hobby and to share with others. So if I couldn’t make it personal end fun I really don’t see the point. People want to watch my stuff for the personal insight and editing. So I put a ton of tile into making them the best they can be. Really appreciate the feedback and hope you enjoy my other stuff like this one.
Thank You.
Excellent video. You really spoil us Shmup Junkie. BioMechanical Toy is the only one I've heard of before from an Evercade list and I thought it was pretty fun so I'm really looking forward to trying the others.

Thanks. And yes, Biomechanical isn't terrible just a bit PC DOS type janky feel to it. Still worth playing I thought. But you'll love some of these others so I'm glad you discovered some new ones here.
It's awesome you mentioned the music in mystic warriors, I've adored Junya nakano's work ever since I heard the dew prism soundtrack. I loved his contributions to that game.

Konami made so many banger soundtracks during that time, so for Mystic Warriors to stand out says a lot about his work. It was pretty unusual for an arcade game at the time and really added a lot of the right personality to the game. I never played Dew Prism but now I'll have to go check out that soundtrack.
Was clicking rom downloads for retroarch as I watched this vid 😏👌 Great work, Thanks again SHOOTEM UP Junkie 🤣
