Shmups ~ Class of '98 (video)

Post by Danny »

Hello guys and gals!

'Shmups ~ Class of '98' is my newest web video were I take a look at all the shoot-em-up's released in 1998 acording to my trusty emulator MAME32 0.98. 1998 was quite an important time in the arcade calander and for shoot-em-up's it was no exsepction even if there were only 11 "shmups" released acording to MAME32 0.98 at that time.

The reviews featured in the video which I have provided the link to below follow the format of me telling you what I think about them as I am playing them hence they are unscripted and a bit more relaxed than what I normaly do so there might be a mistake or two in there.

Anyway sit back and relax and enjoy the video!

Cheers guys. Yeah I know some of the games do have stage edit but many people don't know how to acess it and you would not be able to use it in regular arcades so to speak. (although try finding these games in a regular arcade, impossable! :lol:)

I am going to try and find a video or file hosting website so that you can download the orignal movie, stay tunned for more details.

Aarrgh, why the hate for esprade ? :(

It's not that complicated - just use your alternate shot more.

Other than that, nice work ;)

I don't hate the game, I can see why people like it and I think it's a great game in it's own right I just like my Shmups a bit more well... simple really.

I am not a director in Youtube. In other words I would not be able to upload this badboy because it's 30mins long and the maxium for non-directors is just 10mins, sorry.

You've got rock the B shot or else have no chance to survive. Or score. ;) Very nice video, man. I love your narration. I enjoyed the brief preface on fighting games, too... makes me wish I had my DC here with me for some KOF 98.

Yeah KOF: Dream Fight '99 is just awesome.

Oh yeah I am currently uploading the orignal video on to Bigupload for some direct download action. I will also convert the video to DIVX format as well and upload that as well hopefully by the end of tonight.

It may be just me but it sounds like your crying by the end of the Blazing Star intro. :P

Though you could just be adjusting something on your computer. Whatever. Nice video.

Nah no way... You would be squinting thoughout the entire video otherwise lol. But I will bare what you said in mind perhaps a warning next time explaining why it's rotated clockwise me thinks...

Cheers for the nice words though guys! :)

p.s: On a completely unrelated note, does this community have an IRC chatroom? I thought it did but I might just be going insane...
