For those of you unfamiliar with mythology, let me break it down. Kraken: Norse monster; a giant octopus or squid said to drag ships underwater with its numerous tentacles Hydra: Greek monster; a creature with many heads on long necks, was killed by Heracles during his 12 labors Leviathan: Hebrew monster; a fish-like creature described in great detail in the Old Testament as nearly invincible Naga: Hindu monster; a specific class of divine being that took the form of a great snake Scylla and Charybdis: Greek monsters; occupied either side of the Strait of Messina; Scylla would always eat six crew members of each ship that passed by her side; Charybdis would create whirlpools strong enough to drag ships underwater if they veered too close Ahuizotl: Aztec monster; a dog-like hunter that would drag its prey underwater with its hand-tipped tail Medusa: Greek monster; a gorgon who could turn people who looked at her to stone Karkinos: Greek monster; a crab that was sent by Hera to distract Heracles while he was fighting the hydra Midgardsorm: Norse monster; a giant serpent that encircled the Earth with its body and gripped its own tail Cerberus: Greek monster; a three-headed dog charged with guarding the entrance to the Underworld Umi-Bozu: Japanese monster; a vaguely humanoid creature that would capsize the ships of any who tried to speak to it Vritra: Hindu monster; the personification of drought and a major adversary of Indra Kaliya: Hindu monster; a poisonous naga who lived in the Yamuna River and faced Krishna Dagon: Mesopotamian god of fertility, and then grain and fish and/or fishing Poseidon: Greek god of the sea and earthquakes Rahab: major sea demon in Medieval Jewish folklore
h0m3st4r Uh, just to be clear that Medusa in this game is a Giant Jellyfish right? I know which Medusa your talking about but I'm just giving you advice.
Pretty much summarises my early childhood. Going to "Fantasy World amusement park", rushing into the arcade with my little brother to play this game, and celebrating the end game with a platter of hot ketchup French fries. Ah those were the best days. Aint no days like the good ol days.
Same here I had a different story though this was my first arcade game when I was 4 I found it when I went on holiday to the Mediterranean islands and played it over and over with my father
Sadly it isn't going to happen. This game was designed as a coin muncher towards the sunset of the arcade era in the late 90s. Unless the remake is a completely different genre it won't get remade. Very few coin-op arcade games were made in the post 2000 era.
I remember seeing this game at my local Gatti-land. However I was frightened easily when I was little, so I got scared after my first run through... and even to this day I still get a little nervous. Same with the Jurrasic Park games.
Tomversal Well, if you faced phase 2 of the final boss in Deadstorm Pirates you are going to be really terrified! Same thing in Dark escape 4D if you get a bad ending.
It's a shame this game is only barely emulate-able. It definitely could have benefited from a console re-release; the atmosphere is unique for a rail shooter.
TimelordR unfortunately the video doesn't capture the white knuckle experience you have with the cabinet. because you sit inside a little chamber with cartoony turrets that rumble like a son of a gun, you get a real epic experience. anyways I would definitely like the see an HD version on this in VR
A part of my childhood, playing the big cabinet with 2x turrets but never made it past the Leviathan. :P I'll try to emulate this on the PC Thanks for uploading AND providing links. That said, it would be awesome if this gets a re-master, re-work for modern systems. The bosses would be straight up piss-in-pants material, like they were back then. (TRUE STORY, was actually afraid to go swimming after playing this as a kid)
OMG i have been looking this game for 10 years, when i was little with my brother and i went to bulgaria with our parents and this arcade game was near our hotel, we played the shit out of this game. Its been over 10 yeard since i last saw this gameplay. The memories....
Me and my dad would play this on the arcade for hours as a kid. Only reached Poseidon and barely died before beating him. Cool to see I was really close to beating the whole game. Only one boss away. Thanks for the upload!
I feel like Tartarus Depths should be the last level. Only because the pitch-black ocean floor makes the most logical sense as a climax level in a game based on sea monsters.
+Jaeger Newman What are the 2 seas Rahab missed? He seemed to cover all bases unless you count Antarctic. (Pacific)Kraken,(Indian)Leviathan,(Atlantic)Midgardsorm,(The Trenches)Charybdis,(Artic)Karkinos, (World's Biggest Lake)Ahuizotl,(Mediterranean)Rahab himself. What got me thinking is Karkino's case. If Karkinos is one of Rahab's 5 enforcers(Midgardsorm is doesn't count among his team because of his size), then why is it attacking whales instead of whalers? This is the perfect premise for whalers to get attacked.Secondly, how could Karkinos kill and eat whales in the first place? It's not big enough....
It is always a great joy to embark on a difficult journey in beautiful, breath taking underwater locations, getting to encounter various creatures from all the world's mythologies...and wrap it all up by facing a god-like villain with an amazing backstory that resonates within the far reaches of your mind up to this day.
In my mind, this is the best shooter arcade game ever. I only played it five or six times. Last time I played, I was vacationing in South Carolina. I got as far as the Leviathan boss (my favorite boss). But now I can't find it anywhere. Why? Why? WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????
I just finished this on Sega Model 3 (after finally getting it to work!) You can play a much better quality version if you use RomStation. The only real problem I have with this game is that you never have enough time to read the monster's crimes, and in the later stages the picture is overlapping with the text that makes it hard to read.
I finally found this game! My family would go to Wheels Inn in Chatham, Ontario every year and this was in their arcade. My dad and I would try every day to beat this game but he was simply too cheap to keep pumping it full of tokens.
Hi there, can you send me the configuration.ini for this game? No matter what configuration I put I can't move the mouse up and down, just left right and shoot.
+Apinhaka IT WORKS! thank you so much, finally! The mouse only works when you're in the smallest res (496x384) whenever I increase resolution or change to fullscreen the mouse doesn't work. Any idea why?
Basically every boss fight is the game saying oh my you got past every obstacle we throw at you but we want your quarters defeat me if you can but I'm going to make you spend more quarters
You have to see this game in Supermodel now. Download the latest SVN build off the forums on Supermodel3.com or EmuCR. Thanks to a man named Ian, he has put a lot of effort into fixing missing textures and backgrounds for this game. It plays fine with a mouse :) Hard game, though. If you can 1CC this and The Lost World: Jurassic Park, you are an "arcade quartermaster".
I still have this game at this place called zacharys and it is still really fun. only made it to the leviathan but it is still really fun this game os an og, needs a console version.
These aren't really the mythical sea creatures the title says they are. The Leviathan is really the Megalodon shark. Scylla is really a glow-in-the-dark squid, Charybdis is really a giant angler fish. Medusa is really a giant jellyfish and Poseidon... man that's the most fucked up one of all.
I have downloaded the game and i can actually emulate it, but i can't move the crosshair, how have you done it? (Sorry for my bad english, i'm italian)
CocaColaLover99 You need to download the s.gui 0.10 for the emulator. Here´s a link:roadtoavonlea.net/smGUI.html When you´re done downloading, put the s.gui in the directory where you have the supermodel emulator and the roms. And then, just open the s.gui, select The Ocean Hunter, configure the emulation options to your liking, and play.
Apinhaka Now i can move both players crosshairs with mouse, but only on the X AXIS...can't you send me your Supermodel configuration file? I think it would be easier...
CocaColaLover99 I have sent you the config file through an email. If you use google chrome it will say that the file is a virus, but it's ok just ignore it.
Marco Dant Maybe the version of your emulator is old. Try downloading supermodel svn r272, the latest version of the emulator, which i have a link of in the description.
Apinhaka THANKS DUDE=) but with this version of supermodel the graphics decrease a few=( is there a method to increase graphic details and correct some black screen bugs?=)
Marco Dant There is a PC Frequency option in the s.gui, it is always set to 25, but you can change it. The PC Frequency is pretty much the graphics options for the emulator. However, I would only recommend 25 and 50, 25 if you want better performance and 50 if you want better graphics. The emulator seems to have some problems if you input any other number, atleast on my computer. Also, there is no way to fix the black screen bugs. This emulator is still a work-in-progress and emulation for this game is still not perfect as a result, so hopefully, someday, we will be able to play this game in an arcade-perfect state in our homes.
Spoiler!⚠️: in the video game story is like Rahab: i destroyed ships because they are destroying and contaminating the sea 😢 Protagonist: i will kill them because destroyed ships🗿
