If you watch my channel whatsoever you will know some things about my retro gaming tastes; I love arcade beat em ups and I love obscure retro games...so put those two things together and...well you get one of Data East's more charming arcade games...Captain America and the Avengers! It wasn't just Capcom making awesome Marvel video games back in the day or Sega making Spider Man video games...Data East got in on the superhero video game action too!
Luckily this runs on MAME via MAME emulation so it can be enhoyed by all and if you need a MAME tutorial I have one on my channel....just check the emulation night school playlist!
But its definitely an arcade hidden gem of jank as good luck finding it these days!

For a moment I thought this video was about the unreleased prototype "Out of the Vortex" that was just added to HP.

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

Nope but that’s on my list for work today

@Pewpewpew182 11 дней назад

I remember getting this as a kid on the snes after playing it in the arcade and feeling something was “off”. Got the pcb during the pandemic and it’s been a fun stroll through memory lane. Games like this and Congo’s Caper make me miss Data East.

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

Data East could make some great games for sure

@pakasack 11 дней назад

So “Taco” was an English mistranslation of “tako” which is the Japanese word for “squid” lol. Pretty funny 😄 I had the Genesis port of this game as a kid and was obsessed with it! Didn’t play the arcade original until years later and I had the muscle memory to play it pretty well, since the Genesis port is gameplay-wise very faithful to the arcade. Thanks again for your nostalgic content!

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

I prefer just to think it’s tacos

@japangamejunk 10 дней назад

"tako" (蛸) is octopus which is more commonly written in the katakana syllabary denoting foreign words so a localizer would be very confused if not a native bilingual; squid is "ika"

@bedwablackburn 11 дней назад

This one is certainly an underrated game, that's for sure

@bedwablackburn 11 дней назад

And that red skull laugh is great

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

Clearly I agree haha

@IndubitablyRetro 11 дней назад

I used to love playing this and Bad Dudes.

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

Couple of classics for sure

@bearonguitar 11 дней назад

I used to play this game with a friend on his mega drive. I thought it was quite janky but we still had some good co-op fun.

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

Jank can be fun!

@Heru3005 11 дней назад

Absolutely loved this one as a kid. 8 year old me pumped a silly amount of quarters into that cab. Even enjoyed the console versions. Good times.

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

It’s a classic and worth another replay

@drewba7741 11 дней назад

I played this at the arcade, although I forgot where. The flying stages and the sentinel boss blew my mind back in the day.

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

They are some fun stages

@MadsterV 11 дней назад

I used to 1-credit this by myself I love this one so much, faults and all.

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

Impressive :)

@Turbo187KillerB 11 дней назад

Not a great game, but a fun one, and I have a ton of fuzzy and warm memories of my dad and I cranking countless quarters into this game at our local arcade. We would go watch a movie every weekend, and then we would go and "beat a game" at the arcade. This game was frequently included in the rotation. Thanks for covering this one!

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

It’s a solid B tier effort. But tons of fun

@Cookiedon15 11 дней назад

My local batting cages had this game. LoL, I still remember the first level's music track

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

Sounds like a fun place

@nathanddrews 11 дней назад

Nowadays it's more rare to find the 4-player Avengers cab than it is to find the 6-player X-Men cab.

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

Def didn’t do as well in arcades

@RetroRockGamer 6 дней назад

They have one at funspot, I tried to play it during my last two visits, but it's been beoken.

@thesethguy 11 дней назад

I loved playing this game on SNES as a kid

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

Lot of good memories of this one in the comments today

Data east had some bangers wish we more fpga cores for them. Would love this randy and boogie wings.

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

Edward Randy needs a core

@ynotwalk7391 11 дней назад

@@VideoGameEsoterica do you see any reasons why these games would not happen on mister

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

I’d have to look into it

@rocraider163 11 дней назад

This is one I definitely have on the list to get going on my steamdeck. ...as always, love your content and keep doing what you do!

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

Plenty more coming :)

@bjornh1527 11 дней назад

I credit feeded through this with my brother Olof at a convention this spring. And NO WAY we would one credit it! We found the bosses to be rather spongy, their last health took ages to wear down. We had trouble not being hit by various ranged attacks too. Perhaps we played it wrong, but we found it very shallow. Either hit baddies with the same attack over and over, or throw stuff at them? Some jump attack too. The corny cut scenes were the only saving grace for us, tedium set in while wading through the hordes.

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

Yes the bosses feel designed to steal a few more quarters than the rest of the game

@MarginalSC 11 дней назад

Reminds me a lot of Taito's Superman in a lotta respects.

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

I haven’t played that one in FOREVER

@urdnal 11 дней назад

Bit of hardware trivia, the CPU on this board is a 32 bit ARM processor.

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

Not what you’d expect

@Riz2336 11 дней назад

Mech taco should be a new thing on the Taco Bell menu. I never actually played this beat em up but I’ve always thought it looks cool. Hopefully they complete the Saturn port

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

🤣

@sunderark 11 дней назад

Yeah I have this PCB, with a weird bug that doesn't display the names of the bosses you face. Really strange. I love the painterly backgrounds.

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

Odd random and very specific bug

@cjd82187 11 дней назад

Damn, this looks neat! I’m all in on my CRT at the moment. Got a recalbox rgb dual on order, this might be one of the first I load up on there once it’s working.

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

Def give it a shot

@darktetsuya 11 дней назад

definitely one of my favorite arcade superhero games! (outside of the stuff like konami's x-men or capcom's marvel stuff) I think my favorite part of the game is fighting the bosses, and the way the music changes up once they get down to that last sliver of health, if that doesn't get you pumped to finish the fight, I don't know what will!! shame it never got ported either in the johnny turbo line (since he had all the data east stuff for a while) or some other way (at least outside of arcade 1up, not everyone has A1up money!) with the rise in popularity of the MCU!

@VideoGameEsoterica 11 дней назад

Konami and Capcom led the genre but Data East def had some good ones
