https://arcadeheroes.com - It's time for a new shoot 'em up to hit arcades, with this one filling another spot in the "bullet hell" category. Already available on consoles, this has adapted the game to operate in TATE-mode, as you see here. I left the spicy comment on Stern there as they shut me down on filming the Bond game for some inexplicable reason, claiming "no streaming" even though I wasn't streaming but whatever.

https://arcadeheroes.com - Created by Amusement Source International. Here's a game that brings sniper gun play to the arcade, allowing four people to work as a team to take out bad guys. The guns are quite nice on this but unfortunately the graphics look 3DFx-quality. The gameplay looks the same as it's predecessor, the main difference being the cabinet/guns It's playable though and draws a crowd.

https://arcadeheroes.com - I'm probably the last person in the community to film this, but thanks to the astronomical price tag, I haven't seen a Toy Story 4 pin until IAAPA 2022. It's a very nice looking game with a good flow although the one I played on had some kind of glitch or issue where it would lock the ball and just sit there. I would consider one for my location as it certainly has broad appeal - if it didn't cost $12k to start.

https://arcadeheroes.com - Sega is back with a motorcycle racing game developed by Wahlap & IGS, this time a sequel to an obscurish game from about a decade ago.

https://arcadeheroes.com - Back in 2018, Play Mechanix & Raw Thrills teamed up with Microsoft to bring the iconic Halo franchise to arcades with Halo: Fireteam Raven. First released in a giant 4-player Super Deluxe model and later in a 2-player, those models will now be joined by two upright models (a 4 & 2-player, respectively) which I dub as Assault Models. The reason being that these versions feature a unique aspect from previous models - players get to use replicas of Assault Rifles to play. Pump to reload; fire grenades using the side button. Likely launching in 2023.

https://arcadeheroes.com - From the same team that develops the Maximum Tune series comes a more casual take on their brand of arcade racing. As such this does feature elements from Maximum Tune's gameplay (upcoming turn alerts, distance from goal) but features easier drift mechanics and an "Ultimate Heat" gauge, a boost that builds when you ram your car into others - the more cars you do that to, the quicker the gauge builds.

https://arcadeheroes.com - 1st play w/o commentary of the new Drone Racing Genesis arcade game, exclusive to arcades. I think the joystick needed some calibration however, I only played one round and on this side, I did not play the other to compare. It's also entirely possible that I just suck but it did seem a tad sensitive on the up/down movement. I do like the sound/music and the graphics look great in person (much better than screenshots convey) as it's a very colorful and fluid looking game. No commentary in part as my voice is already hoarse and the show hasn't started yet :P Stay tuned as there is much, much more to come - I would have grabbed a few other games but many were shut off when I was able to wander a little.

Happy Halloween! It isn't Halloween without some House of the Dead :) This game was released in North America and Europe and is currently the last entry in the franchise although that can always change one day...

https://arcadeheroes.com - Thanks to reader Paul Kim, here is some much better footage of Bandai Namco's sequel to Dead Heat, Dead Heat Unleashed. Thanks to this, we get a better look at the cabinet and learn that it has 8 tracks over the original's 8; There's also a "Buy 2 get 1 free" feature.

Perhaps the most obscure entry in the Silent Hill series is the arcade game, which saw a limited worldwide release back in 2007. More units were sold in Europe than the US. Still, the music behind this one is great for anyone looking to do a haunted house or the like.

Continuing the Halloween-themed game music are some tracks from Taito's excellent light-gun shooter from 1990, Space Gun. This was Taito's interpretation of Aliens but it had it's own charm to it. These tracks were created by members of Taito's in-house band ZUNTATA and are the arcade versions, not the home PC ports

THIS VERSION IS THE REMIXED AMR2 FAN GAME VERSION but it otherwise hits all the beats of the original. Metroid II did a masterful job of creating tension through clever game design and the score. This is the song that plays in the last area before the final boss, the Queen Metroid.

It's October, which means more spooky music. We'll start this month off from the survival horror series Clock Tower, which got its start on the SNES and later came to the PSX. The music fits the unsettling atmosphere of the game quite well. Happy Halloween

A track from the Nintendo DS game, Abyss. This also came to the WiiU, Switch & PS5.
