Arcade Longplay [275] NAM-1975 

As a veteran of the Vietnam War, I can tell you that this is exactly how it happened

Yeah my dad fought in Vietnam and still has bad flashbacks of fighting those red mecha machines @28:00. He still freaks out today everytime Gundham or Robotech comes on because of that shit. Very sad.

This game gets better with age , The Neo Geo is the king of retro !!

At 22:13 the russian sign says : "Hello! What's your name" XD

Interesting how strangely dark a lot of the early SNK games were; they had a strong feeling of melancholia to them.

This may have been the only Neo Geo game not to have the iconic startup sequence.

Gotta love these old Neo-Geo games. Real coin munchers!

"Too late, you are not the enemy for my new weapon!" Ok, if he's not the enemy, why is she shooting at me?

This game came out in 1990, which was 2x closer in time to 1975 than we are to 1990 today. Let that sink in.

Love the soldiers stance while shooting and the animations. The little bad ass blasting everyone down.

Nam 1975 is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and Legendary arcade game 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I think the South Park version of Nam with the amusement rides was more historically accurate. Soldier: In Nam, the brush was thick with Mechas. The enemy planes could hold 1000 guys and a million grenades. The hot blondes to rescue and then lay down suppressive fire were few and far between. Buildings could be brought down with small arms fire. For some reason, we never actually encountered any Vietnamese. I mean, you would think, right?

This is one game that I never beat. Thanks for uploading.

This timeline had the weirdest version of the Vietnam War that I've ever seen! To think that Dr. Eggman's uncle was plotting to build a laser weapon to destroy the world was something I never foresaw!

Nam 1975 is legendary Snk Shoot em up With AWESOME graphics and STUNNING gameplay The stages are 2Fast 2Furious with 2Player action STUNNING firepower and excellent Boss battles This is a classic Neo Geo game with a vengeance 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

One of my all-time favorite games! It was basically Full Metal Jacket: The Videogame

"YOU ARE NOT THE ENEMY FOR MY NEW WEAPON!" (and then she tries to shoot the player.)

This is the very first Neo-Geo game for 14 years, Relased in April 24, 1990 by SNK. Commented by December 27, 2015 in 🇸🇻.

Go up the Yan River to deceive enemy guard! Yes sir President Ford!

1:38 man that Agent Orange and Napalm in the morning really did the trick... Charlie can't hide in the trees.

Thank you for this longplay ! I remember playing this game on emulator as a kid and I never finished it. I've always wanted to know how it ends. Didn't remember much about it, 'cept for some boss fights... Seriously, I recall shooting at unarmored guys for what seemed like several minutes, showering them with continuous strays of bullets, and it just looked like they were shrugging them off !

Ah, the early days of the NeoGeo, well before the latest releases consisted of fighting game, fighting game, fighting game, Metal Slug, fighting game...

5:54 I just love how nonchalantly the hostage thanks you for saving her. "Oh, thank you."

Very nice and skilled gameplay. This game ain't joke when it comes to difficult.

you know this game actually took scenes from FULL METAL JACKET and rehashed them for the graphics? Dunno how they avoided a lawsuit. lol

I remember this game at my local college's student lounge. I also remember that no one played it. Ever.

5:50 is my favorite part. Big, brave American soldier rescues blonde bombshell from men with machine guns. Proceeds to use her as a meat shield.

And the two women tied up at the end of the game can be killed before they are set free.

Shootout (Data East, 1985) - The one that started the crosshair shooter genre. Empire City: 1931 (Seibu Kaihatsu, 1986) - Another crosshair shooter, but with a real crosshair added to it. The grandfather of Dynamite Duke. Cabal (TAD Corporation (splinter of Data East), 1988) - The one that popularized the genre. Dead Angle (Seibu Kaihatsu, 1988) - Sequel to Empire City: 1931 and father of Dynamite Duke. Dynamite Duke (Seibu Kaihatsu, 1989) - Unlike previous crosshair shooters, this was the first to feature close combat, which is why it was successful. Blood Bros. (TAD Corporation, 1990) - Spinoff of Cabal. NAM-1975 (SNK, 1990) - First Neo-Geo title. You even can throw bombs in this one. Riot (NMK, 1992) - Crosshair shooter where you can shoot in the foreground and background. Lucky & Wild (Namco, 1993) - Arcade-exclusive crosshair shooter with a steering wheel added to it. Wild Guns (Natsume, 1994) - An underrated crosshair shooter similar to Blood Bros.. Sin & Punishment (Nintendo/Treasure, 2000) - First 3D polygonal crosshair shooter. Features close combat using weapons. Sin & Punishment: Star Successor (Nintendo/Treasure, 2009) - Sequel to Sin & Punishment.

This game was hard in the arcade when you fought the doctor dude at the end you couldn't continue if you died!!!

Nice shooting, Joker!

0:19 This warcry is stuck in my head since I played the arcade game, fucking awesome!

Where's the Paul Hardcastle music?

Ah, this video's pretty new. I thought for sure that you (or someone) played this through years ago and uploaded, but I guess not. Oh well. Anyway, thanks for uploading this. I just got this with my Neo Geo X and I'm loving it and the console a lot. :)

I got to the final boss and then ran out of continues. I was so angry. This was one of my favorite arcade games.

The key to this game is knowing that somersaulting makes you invulnerable.

27:32 What the hell? Is that the sniper from FMJ?

Is there something special to trigger the extra boss scenes between levels?

in regards to the "ambush" battles, it's usually a random thing. sometimes, you might have at least one ambush, or even more than twice in each game.

Remember playing this game at MEPS-Military Entrance Processing Station aka the meat market right before I signed my name to Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty. Thanks for the flashbacks to the good old days. Do I have to go back to the hell again? Yes, cause the blood of our enemies will make the grass green and the trees to flowers bloom for mankind.

i had the aes cart. loved this game. i beat it. wish they would make more games like this

YESSIR!!!!! THE YEAR I WAS BORN!!!

This game looks awesome. Wish I could have played it

When using the flame thrower you should bring the cross hair down as close to your marine as possible then it is really fast and easy to sweep the whole screen with it.

*The only power-up you needed and wanted and it was the double gunsight!*

How do you do cartwheels in this game? I have this on the Neo Geo X and I have no idea how to perform them. Do I double-tap on the joystick?

One of the earliest Neo Game games before Fatal Fury/The King of Fighters/Art of Fighting, the two heroes getting mission in Vietnam to save everything.

You forgot that at 4:12 the enemy looks like Private Pyle before he shoots Sargent Hartman in the bathroom in Full Metal Jacket.

Me and friend use to dominate this game at the bowling alley back in the day.

I always thought they said "I'll help you" since she does end up helping you.

LMFAO WTF The girl that runs to him near the end is the chick from Full Metal Jacket that is sniping them all from the building at the end of the movie. "Shoot....me!"

04:11 My first time playing this, this legit freaked me the hell out. I mean, wouldn’t you freak out about having to kill a baby and a chemo patient?

27.33 that's the sniper girl from full metal jacket.

You forgot to put "TAS" in title. Well, Dr Eggman was the villain after all. Good game anyway.

The announcement of Helicopters for War Thunder brought me here.

4:47 Ah yes the famous city of DO Nang.

Oh, I was looking for old-school games, not another entry inte modern warfare series.

@cubex55 what happen if you see a bad ending

Неплохо. 👍👍

27:02 Holy shit that cheapshot after the cutscene... You literally have a half second to react before you get shot. And I thought Bayonetta was bad with that shit.

I wonder in the game's code, was the blonde woman suppose to shoot? Sounds like a Galga extra ship if you ask me.

Man I remember playing this game

now be honest how many hours did you play this game to be this good? :D

0:15 contains a goof. Dialogue states "Do I have to go back to this hell again?" but voice says "Do I have to back to the hell again?"

The first neo geo game

Damn! still can finish the game with 1 coinneed 2XD

Great job in surviving NAM-1975. Shmups don't get any harder than that.

Great Value Operation Wolf.

great year

is it normal u get all bonus stages or just save states abuse?

No midi version of Fortunate Son? I'm starting to think this isn't an accurate representation of the Vietnam war after all..

Nam 1975 is what the Vietnam war was all about! The absolute truth!

What a game this was

you know its a michine gun your firing you can keep the button held down.

Ok but what happened to the doctor's daughter ? Was she who killed that poor innocent man being questioned ?

0:14 Every time I get ready to go to work!

🤣🤣🤣 "Nancy" was one the World's first TWERKERS!! GIRLFRIEND WAS KILLIN' IT WHOLE STAGE!!! 😂 16:13

Ancestor of the NIKKE game, sans the use of cover for your troops

What are you emulating it on?

Yup. It's always been and It'll never end cause their no rest for the wicked. Pray for peace-pass and burn brass!!! My squad leader always says this whenever our squad goes out...

Never ever get off the boat.

*THEY'ER COMING AGAIN!!!*

My mother’s cousin was a Vietnam vet and couldn’t work the rest of his life for psychological reasons. He said it was just like this, ninja flips and all.

Would like to see if SNK interested in remake this game in First person or Third person, a mixture of Tactical shooters and survival horror.

golden finger？

19:28 ... ADATS,ADATS again!

Since when 'silly' means 'hard'?

This bugger cost me £180 23 years ago as a cartridge managed to 1cc it though ;)

Fire weapon = most overpowered weapon in this entire game.

27:32 fullmetal jacket

I always wondered where ObamaWars got its ideas from!

Why did they name the black guy "Brown"?

15:03 He confirmed Amogus

they had Osprey's, well, before they had Osprey's!

This is like an enhanced version of Operation Wolf.

great game

11:15 Nice Hammer and ummm pick axe?

Play it today, on 14th Feb.

Pretty forgiving blast radius in this game

reminds me of the rambo master system game
