NARC (Arcade) 

As an American I can verify this is what is was like for the DEA in the 80s: Every team drove a Porsche Machine guns and rocket launchers were standard issue Lots of carnage, little sympathy

I remember playing this as a kid in the local video rental store and saying to myself "this shit is fucking great" This game even makes a small cameo in the very first TMNT live action movie. What a time to be alive

16:01 "I GIVE UP!"Too little, Too late, talking leg.

I remember seeing this game in the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie

I remember always going to the arcade and just spend hours on this game It’s one of my favorite arcade classics (besides mk2)

arcades back then had the best sounds. It was always turned up loud, you would enter an arcade and hear sounds of so many great games mixed together.

Gotta love invincibility on a game that was designed to eat quarters like Smash TV

NARC, Smash TV, Total Carnage, I dare you to find a better trifecta.

Winners don't do drugs

If Michael Bay was a video game developer.

I love how your character walks like he has a club foot or something

Absolutely loved this game lol. Definitely represents the late 80’s early 90’s.... shooting needles, blowing people up? Gangsters drug dealers and drug junkies lol and u can blow up shit with rockets. However he is using dip switches , unlimited ammo and rockets plus no damage at all. This game was Uber hard so yea

This is what New York actually looked like before Guliani.

This game was way ahead of its time back then loved it on arcade

Here are the time stamps for each level. You're Welcome. 0:08 Das Lof Gang 2:01 Dr. Spike Rush 4:20 Joe Rockhed 7:06 Kinky Pinky 9:48 Sgt. Skyhigh 11:38 HQ Posse 17:57 Mr. Big International 19:36 Mr. Big part 1 23:13 Mr. Big part 2

Imagine being like eleven or twelve years old, in arcade-land (Funplex) with your friends, and your uncle (who repaired these things) walks up, looks around, opens up the front of the case and flicks the quarter-drop tab giving us like fifty lives! Same thing for that Terminator game with the plastic guns and Daytona USA! Best birthday ever!

Love that 80's muscle man strut of the playable characters! LOL

i love how the obvious pot head hippy guy is portrayed as the heavily armed dangerous criminal lmao

greatest american arcade game of the 80s, can play this daily and never tire of it, been playing the nes version all week as well

I remember playing this as a kid and two things struck me at the time: - How unique the graphics/art was, including the realistic rendering at times. Only other game I recall that had such realism before Mortal Combat was Pit Fighter. - How violent and seedy the content was. Drugs, prostitution, dog attacks, blowing up people, the last boss, etc.

Little known fact they named their guns. Their machine gun is "12 Step" and their rocket launchers name is "Rehab".

I played this all the time when I was younger and I had no idea that it was about drugs

This game was so over-the-top, it made me laugh. The giant skull head at the end hahahahaha!

This game looks badass. Incredible for being 35 years old

D-d-d-d-d DON'T SHOOT! LOL Gotta love the Narc rap.

This was Robocop before he became metallic lol

I love how this game glorifies the deadly war on drug users in an ultra violent way, go get em America!

This game was always busy in the arcade we would have to wait in line until the person playing ran out of quarters 😆

Winners may not use drugs, but the game desighners DEFINITELY did!😆

Imagine this getting an HD remake....lol

Holy shit this really IS as chaotic as Jontron made it out to be...

It's been 28 years... I LOVE IT!

I used to play this game a lot via Midway Arcade Treasure 2 as a kid and it was fun like hell!

Just saw the Midway doc trailer and only remember this from The Foot Clan hangout in 1990.

The villains of this game work for the organization of K.R.A.K. :| How did Mr. Big get to the top of the drug game and not be the laughing stock of the criminal elite? xD And who lets the hobos and clowns in their office building and not have security? Do you think maybe the NARC soldier is seeing things? He did blow up a cocaine and speed lab in the second level of the game. xDD

Wonder if anyone actually ever believed it was actual police training and called the a DEA recruiter.

Legendary game! You can just tell this is a Williams/Midway game by the graphics, sounds, and gameplay. Some of those sounds in this game were in Terminator 2 The Arcade Game which was released 3 years after this game. That's one of the things that made arcade games so unique in the 80s and 90s. If you played a Midway game you knew you were playing a Midway game. If you were playing a Capcom game you knew you were playing a Capcom game. If you were playing a SNK game you knew you were playing a SNK game. SNK, CAPCOM, AND WILLIAMS/MIDWAY = OUR CHILDHOOD.

The pure swagger with which your character walks, whilst holding a machine gun and rocket launcher, blowing people up in cold blood, never gets old!! 🤣

I remember playing that game when it first came out in the arcade thought that was one of the coolest games ever

I grew up playing this on NES. I had no idea this was a thing in teh arcade. The baggy of drugs makes SO much more sense. I always wondered why I was picking up silver mini bathtubs

16:01-16:02 funny, "I give up" then he shoots him with a missle.

I can see why this game was so controversial back in the day, but now it’s hilarious. Love the dudes who yell and chuck marijuana plants at you.

Cheaters never w... *beats game* ....oh

Mr Big looks like Tony Clifton!

Awesome game and did the whole violence/drugs scenario well before others.

NARC Classic 80s Arcade before Grand Theft Auto Max Payne and Gears of War

Ah... back in day when all drug dealers looked like flashers

"YOU DIE, COP! HOO-HOO-HOO-HAA-HAA!" I've managed to beat Mr. Big a few times in this game. It was a matter of conserving ammo and keeping one's distance.

blue ranger vs hundreds of sex offenders

YOU'RE BUSTED.

At age 43 now I know thanks for sharing

This game creeped me out as a kid

23:17 the most epic laugh in video game history!

All things considered the game actually looks fun.

As much as the music is cheesy, the graphics have aged very great for '88 Big up to William's for this blockbuster

Oh my goodness. I was just randomly thinking about playing this game all summer in the arcade in 1988. So funny this video exists. I am guessing the Rock will be playing Max Force or Hit Man in one of his new summer movies.

Oh no, the NARCs man.

Can't believe i found this game, i thought i would never ever couldnt remember the name 💥

Corner store near where I lived had this back in 1991, along with Bad Dudes, Final Fight, Pit-Fighter, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Champion Wrestler. Damn I miss those days.

"SPREAD'EM"

This game was hundreds of dollars and we never beat it.

Love this game for some reason

Imagine if Miami Vice, Robocop and NARC all teamed up, drug dealers, drug lords and so on would never stand a chance. Also Imagine if you're just walking down the street minding your own business then all of a sudden these two come flying out of nowhere in a sick Porsche with machine guns and rocket launchers then start ripping drug dealers, steroid pcp crackheads and psycho rapist clowns apart.

8:29 I love the smell of exploding clowns in the morning.

The narc should go faster after picking up bags of coke

"Contact your local D.E.A recruiter"... SMH

Can you believe I played this game so much in the arcade I was able to clear it with one coin? Had that shit on lockdown, lol!

Smoking weed while playing this is genuinely a great time unironically. Great game one of my favs.

Did anyone notice that the clown mask is from Halloween resurrection

This brings back good child hood memories! 🙂

Oh this brings back so many memories!

There was a movie made called NARC, but it didn't really have anything directly to do with this game

brought back good memories....wish I'd had played this version

What drug was the creator on??? Dudes in trench coats and underwear, huge hypos, random lambos, purple guys, random crack and money, killer ninja clowns, a street of whores, dogs that turn puppy when hit, that demonic head at the end, kill frenzy, random arrests and a gold heist?????? Damn!

I loved playing this at the arcades, back when I was a kid!

Ah, fun with chainsaw killers and serial rapists. That’s what made NARC fun! Thanx, bro!

This was a quarter eater this guy has unlimited ammo no damage taken in arcade this was hard game

20:59 HOLY SHEET that guy in the wheelchair!!! Were offing crips now?

Ah good times. I definitely have to look at this one again.

Was telling somebody about this game today. Awesome game!

I love that the main idea of this game is to gun down as many pipe junkies as possible. They should do this in modern day San Francisco.

I loved this game and also the port on the NES was the best, but I was never able to finished, very amazed of the ending, that final boss looks hell hard.

That's the gang's "pipeline hideout?" Looks like a subway station to me.

Loudest arcade game in history

This arcade game was so insane when I was a kid I was freaked out by it but loved the shit out of it. Seeing it first time 30 years later, it’s still fuckin insane! Another level.

Is this used as a modern day police training simulator?

Used to own a NARC cabinet. Loved it.

Say nope to dope...I remember this as a kid in the mall arcade, times have changed.

Narc is legendary action arcade game from midway With ABSOLUTELY AWESOME graphics and STUNNING gameplay Excellent 2Player action Bust Drug Dealers and defeat MR BIG in the war against Drugs and emerge as a victor Failure is not a option 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

MAN, I had this vicious game!Classic!😀😊😀

My mate Bishop worked out how to 1CC Narc in the London arcades. It involved taking the car and running over enemies to a certain point, rinse and repeat. He used to max out the lives with that and then go on to the 1CC.

I remember my dad showing me this game as a kid and a easy way to get Mr. Big to his last phase as the big head. Just a pixel perfect shot to the head with a rocket and it skipped the phase he loses his glasses. Such a great game

Would love to have seen a movie based off this! At least we sort of got a TV show/cartoon of it though, with that being The Power Team in 1990 (which featured the main hero Max Force, along with three Narc villains in Spike, Joe, and Mr. Big), which was very good.

That mid resolution was incredible to see at the time

Now this is how you fight a war on drugs.

Such a cool game, I miss those years!!!!

One of all time favs!

Love how they made a remix of the game sounds! XD

My best game in my teenager i played, thanks !

Just your typical day in Detroit
