My favorite zapper game as a kid. Music is quite memorable. Thanks Hip Tanaka :D

@SECONDQUEST 11 месяцев назад

Yeah it's pretty great!

@TopSpot123 11 месяцев назад

Finally, an escort mission game where you get to shoot your charge! The ground portion of the DS launch game Yoshi Touch and Go has some similarities to Gumshoe, just with expanded capabilities and stylus control.

@SECONDQUEST 11 месяцев назад

Reminds me of Pac Man 2 on snes and genesis.

Never knew the "gumshoe" slang term was for the rubber shoes, I always figured because they stuck to their target, y'know, like gum on your shoe. Don't spit gum out on the sidewalk, kids. This really seems like one that would be best played "any way you can", maybe map the Zapper zaps to a mouse click or the trigger button on a controller? It could be a pretty fun auto runner that way

@eelobrian6727 11 месяцев назад

That would be a tremendous ROM hack! On the level of the one controller Gyromite hack.

You know, NORMALLY, when I think of detectives on the NES, I think of Deja Vu.

This is one of the only games I never rented from our little video store. I think the reason was the name/box art

I mean what 90's kid wasn't a fan of undercover perverts

@micahjbest 11 месяцев назад

Ok .. I really have to ask. That last line "Check often, to make sure your family...". Was that a *really* subtle pun on Chekov's Gun? ('Checkovten'). If so, that's gotta win some kind of award.

"I think you hate Mr. Stevenson" ...Ya know, I didn't THINK I did, but now that you mention it...I'm not prepared to take that idea off the table.

I also like how a giant mutant armadillo also attacks you

Loved the sound effects when Gumshoe gets shot

This gumshoe better be picking up the slack, cause there’s no case too big no case too small when you need help just call…

The balloons are from that Cleveland balloon mess from back then. Happened around same time

@gitgeronimo9375 11 месяцев назад

Duck Hunt, and Hogan’s Alley were developed for the Famicom before they were ported to the arcade (via Nintendo’s VS System). Wild Gunman was originally an electro-mechanical arcade machine game from 1974. The video game version, however, was never released in arcades.

@TheLastLineLive 8 месяцев назад

Definitely one of the coolest early black box games. I enjoyed this a lot as a kid when I was at grandmas, she only played zapper games so a lot of Duck Hunt, Hogans Alley, and Gumshoe for her.

@Rando1975 11 месяцев назад

Never played this one as a kid/teen. Always thought the concept were you weren't actually shooting at him and just shooting to make him jump weird.

@danielespeziari5545 11 месяцев назад

I think this is the best and most interesting Zapper game. Very underrated. My second favorite would be Hogan's Alley. I just don't see the appeal of Duck Hunt

@one7decimal2eight 11 месяцев назад

If you weren't born in the mid to late 70s to the early 80s...then that makes sense why you would not.

@FrontLoadedAnvils 11 месяцев назад

I love playing this game with the laser scope, it makes it so much easier both to aim and to fire repeatedly. Playing with friends also helps with not embarrassing yourself screaming into the mic so much

@seanmyster6 11 месяцев назад

I'm surprised that this one didn't get re-released on Wii U alongside the other three Zapper-compatible Black Box titles. With how much Nintendo tried to push the likes of Urban Champion and Donkey Kong Jr. Math on us via Virtual Console, you'd figure that *nothing* was off-limits for a release.

@jakenastysnake 11 месяцев назад

Kinda reminds me of an early Flappy Bird in a way.

I always thought 'black panther diamond' was a reference to the pink panther series of movies and cartoons.

@GoodVibeCollecting 11 месяцев назад

One of the earliest examples of an escort mission that I can think of. Surely there were some before this?

@esotericmissionary 11 месяцев назад

"Black Panther" diamonds because of the Pink Panther (movies).

@The_Badseed 11 месяцев назад

Good video. I loved Wild Gunman and Hogan's Alley, never had Gumshoe

@btr3k 11 месяцев назад

I always wondered why there was a game completed by Nintendo, assumedly with the Famicom in mind, yet it was never released in Japan but it WAS released in the US. Really an oddity. I keep rooting for it to get a mention in Smash Bros but I don't think that's happened yet.

@TopSpot123 11 месяцев назад

I was afraid you'd see that, lol

@lizardguyNA 11 месяцев назад

Huh, so that's what "Gumshoe" means. Neat. Also, that's actually a pretty neat idea for a game. Heck, it could probably be adapted for smartphones and tablets these days.

@Trusteft 11 месяцев назад

Another great review ❤

@mevb 11 месяцев назад

I knew a gumshoe is slang for police detective but I thought the term was literally a gum (bubblegum) on underneath the sole of your shoe.

@MattyHervey 11 месяцев назад

Is that the Odd Couple? And were they selling chips or Nintendo?

@NESFriend 11 месяцев назад

Yes and I think... both?

@eelobrian6727 11 месяцев назад

One statement. One question. First, that black box art really pushes the limit of truly depicting in-game graphics. I know they all were interpretations, but this one is a bit egregious. Almost 16 bit. Secondly, is this where the death blocks in AVGN came from?

@rashidisw 9 месяцев назад

The most annoying challenge of this game are actually achieving time over/time out.

@arostwocents 7 месяцев назад

Great channel - subbed. Videos are a bit too long and could strongly do with some editing to cut the script down to just what is vital based on the couple i watched before this but regardless will be watching many more on 1.5x to enjoy the reviews of obscure titles
