Quick Look: Data East Arcade Classics

The music from the second stage of Bad Dudes sounds a hell of a lot like this.

" You should do a weekly segment with Jeff and someone else playing through a random janky-ass arcade game. Recipe for success right there. "

You say "Jeff and someone", I say "Vinnie and someone".  Howzabout we split the difference and just say "Jeff and Vinnie", cool? "

Bad Dudes Endurance Run.

The music on Bade Dudes sounds like the Night Rider theme.

I used to play bad dudes on my amiga as a kid. Something about the controllers I had made jumping really hard, so I usually just died on the second level where you had to jump from the back to the front of the truck.

Bad Dudes Endurance Run.... COMPLETE

Wayyyy before my time all these games.

This Bad Dudes seems slightly different from the one I used to play on NES, from a cartridge my cousin found in the alley behind his house after a rainstorm. IT STILL WORKED. 
 
I thoroughly enjoyed this Bad Dudes Endurance Run.

Where's Tattoo Assassins?

weekly arcade endurance runs!

 I lov these kinds of quick looks!!!!!

My Burgertime efficiency has increased by 400%.
Love Data East, and I enjoy arcade compilations a lot, but I would also appreciate cheaper Virtual Console pri... Fuck it. Mame and a CRT screen FTW.

I used to play Two Crude Dudes with my brother all the time.

Cool Beans! and Bad Dudes.

Bad Dudes made me think of  Fighting Force.

Great quick look, mediocre looking compilation, though.

What about their SNES games, like Shadowrun? I'd buy a new release of that.

Oh I am the Baddest.

The menus screams homebrew.

Wizard Fire reminds me of that Dungeons and Dragons arcade game I used to play. And that's pretty cool.

I'm bad.

45:30 and 30 seconds out is one of those golden Giant Bomb moments where I skip back up to five times.

I played Burgertime 2 hours a day for about a year.  High score was eventually 750k, good times.

IM BAD!

Bad Dudes was and continues to be awesome.

Joe & Mac is dope.
 
Also, games were so much better when there were ninjas in everything.

Watching this has filled in so many sound effects from my childhood that I couldn't remember the source of.

very jersey shore of you
 
ahahahah

Bad dudes with badattitudes ninjas took the president and thats just rude

Crude busters! it was the perfect game, weird enemies.. awesome protagonists and to top it off a sweet soundtrack... We easily put hundreds of hours into that :)

EPIC quicklook!

HAHA. You two were hilarious in this video.

I don't know if you guys heard
But I'm bad!

The train level in Bad Dudes rivaled the one in Uncharted 2. So much detail, absolutely amaaaazing.

When they say "Got it!" in Bad Dudes, doesn't it sound like Ice T? Anyone?

I would just like to say that I used to be able to beat Bad Dudes on one credit. That is all.

Bad dudes rock. The wizard game looked pretty good.

Oh no! president Ronnie has been kidnapped by Ninjas!

My favorite Data East game was always Dashin' Desperadoes, but I don't think that ever came out in arcades.

I would have never guessed I would spend part of today watching someone play through the entirety of Bad Dudes...

why ya need to fuck around with Extras and all dat stuffz n jizz. just start teh game YA ! me want's action !

Bad Dudes the high school musical? Make it happen Vinny. Then let me know so I can check it out. Heh.

 
Also, I feel like you guys would have had a better title if it was:  "Bad Dudes and the Data East Collection".

Bad Dudes Endurance Run, obviously the best choice possible.

What?!?! Secret Agent doesn't ring a bell to Jeff? 
I am disappoint. I was a great game.

I'd really like to see an updated version of Wizard Fire. Any chance you guys could do Quick Looks for Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao, or Revenge of the Wounded Dragons? I've been thinking about picking them up from PSN.

Bad Dudes endurance run... DONE!
