🚨Keep your eyes peeled🚨 BUSH PERVERTS HAVE BEEN SPOTTED IN YOUR AREA

Underappreciated heroes of arcade gaming

Hamster (and every fan of arcade games) celebrates 12yrs of Arcade Archives today. A new old game every single week. Unheard of🎂 Also 100% confirmation that Mr. Do! is not a one off as Universal are now part of Arcade Archives!! Much to celebrate🎉

www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiY7... For anyone concerned, the ACA port of Mr. Do! still uses the tune of the Mighty Atom / Astro Boy theme song when you get a 1UP

Mr. Do! sucks ass & you're all idiots My Paypal address is in the replies. If you need my bank details for a transfer just lmk🤔

Snowman Do's brain confirmed to be made of confetti🤯

Mr. Do! has arrived in Australia. Under an hour until he reaches Japan and then a few seconds more until he appears on my PS4🙃

Not conclusive as such but all things certainly point towards this 'new' game being a bootleg which then had a hefty amount of 'imaginative journalistic license' applied to it

C&VG previewed a never to be seen or heard of again Mr Do arcade game at the end of 1988. Seemingly being made by Electrocoin, the UK's biggest arcade distributor who still have some degree of rights over the Mr Do name in the UK as they're still making Mr Do redemption games in 2026 Lost media 1/2

Just so I can link this to someone who was asking me a question on youtube, here's some promotional art for Genpei Toumaden

Mr. Do! dev's Kazutoshi Ueda and Toshiyuki Kubota will be appearing on this week's Archiver stream🫡

I've hacked Hamster's computer & appear to have found a list of their upcoming ACA Universal games😉🤔

With hindsight, Elf Do may not make the top 10 most cursed Do characters if these freaks are anything to go by I refuse to look into this matter any further for fear that learning of more Do's will only scare me / reduce my excitement for the game

Early 1983 Mr. Do! review from C&VG featuring probably the most cursed looking Do in existence. We may be getting Snowman Do as an extra but when will Universal reveal the secret Elf Do variant? Hopefully never

"As Universal's 1st entry" It certainly wasn't their 1st arcade game so it seems pretty much certain that Universal is now part of Arcade Archives Here's to future releases of Lady Bug, Snap Jack & all the others🍻

Mr Do Not Copy Thank you, I'll be here all week etc🍅

Famitsu's main man Dedeo straight up saying this is Universal's 1st entry into ACA. I'll just take that as a yes Famitsu will be streaming Arkanoid & Cyber Commando today at their usual time & Mr. Do! tomorrow

As the Taito Egret II Mini version of Mr. Do! was specifically the Taito licensed for Japan version of the game but we're now getting the 'original, definitely nothing to do with Taito' version too, clearly being attributed to Universal, could this mean more Universal games are coming to ACA?🤞

We have Pole Position We're getting Snowman Do! What will Hamster announce next. The Viennese Horse or Dumbo?

The snowman version was advertised but was changed at the last moment to make Mr. Do! a clown The snowman sprite is still in the final game when you insert a credit though. And now we get the full old game with different main sprite & OST ported for the 1st time ever. What a time

Exclusive big boy console ACA content Quite glad this is arriving a day late as it will give my excitement levels a chance to calm down ever so slightly

oh yeah, it's releasing a day later than usual. Oh well, it's releasing & that's all that matters

Includes the 'Oldest' revision of the game too, with the different character design, as well as the two widely released versions of the game!! Was this version included on the Egret II Mini? I don't remember people mentioning that? Either way, it's all Do all of the time from this afternoon

He's here!! The very active Mr. Do! comes to Arcade Archives this week

tinyurl.com/yvjj5mmd In advance of the Arcade Archives 12th anniversary there are 15x Namco Masterpieces (well, 14 + Super Pacman) on sale at 30% off If your life is not incredible, it's probably because you're not playing these games. Fix that issue immediately, for cheap

youtu.be/XJGU9Gn_sFs?... About 40 tracks by Hazard & a couple of Heist dubs towards the end

4.5yrs after the region free Japanese release, ardent flag-shaggers can soon buy the same game, for much the same price, on their LOCAL store this August PAL gamerz are disappointed to learn that the games run at the correct speed, don't have extra borders & the ZX Speccy version is not included

Terry was always rude but over time he learned to mis-spell FUCK as FUAACK! to try to tone it down a bit in the hope nobody would notice That failed so he resorted to extremely terrible, polite boy insults like SNOT FACE!! Now he's in Smash. Coincidence? I think not

3 seconds into the fight against Nightmare, the true last boss I missed an easy shot. 3.01 seconds into the fight against Nightmare, the true last boss, I died😢 4th overall. 1 kill off of an easy 1st place time & 2 kills better than all the non clears though, which is something. In a way. Kinda🤔😉

If you can find the copy of Famitsu that came with an iron on transfer, you too could become a hyper-ferocious space creature / have a slightly cooler t-shirt than you previously had

the blend of insufferable infuriation & 'just one more go' this game manages to pull off is quite spectacular A masterpiece where I could launch my PS4 out of the window with every stupid death I take but I don't as I'd just go out to the garden to pick it up so I could try again Plus it's raining

the Switch 2 is capable of mind boggling effects🤔

A huge name in block breaking comes to Arcade Archives this week. It's Taito's 1986 classic 'Arkanoid' #アルカノイド #アーケードアーカイブス #アケアカ #タイトー

To trigger the Easter Eggs, move to The Persuader, Voodoo or Wild Bear, press the View Change button 3 times & then press any shot or missile button to confirm your choice I've not been able to find any codes for the other 3 tanks. If you can figure anything else out, feel free to share

Why does my tank now have a Pacman nose that you can't see during gameplay? My other tank's gained a green tail instead of it's usual blue one Strange going's on🤔

Today in 'the internet knows everything but not this' (afaik) Bloody vandals have graffiti'd some weirdo characters on my tank. I wonder if Hamster know the OG Ms Pac is hidden in Cyber Commando?😉

Star Wars to me is 3 movies, their associated original toys & merch & a couple of games based on the first 3 movies I do not give a single solitary fuck about the rest of it. Even the good bits You can be like this with all series' / media & will be a better person for it # not controversial

This game is so good & yet I remain terrible at it. I'll try to get a 1CC next week. Only 2 people have done it on PSN so far which is kinda wild for a game which can be cleared in about 1min's play time. Normal clears are usually 4-5 mins Will I succeed? Who knows (or cares) but I'll give it a try

Blitz, Spiders of Mars, Arcadia, Jet Set Willy, Gorf, Menagerie, Bushido, Kings Quest, Omega Race, Robocop, Renegade, Target Renegade, Bubble Bobble, Zaxxon, Combat School, Myth, Spindizzy, Spy vs Spy, Platoon, Jet Pac, Bloodwych

youtu.be/FVJ4hoMbsNU?... botched a tiny bit of the last mix a couple of days ago where I nudged a playing track by accident so thought I'd return with a little mix of nothing but dubplates & VIP mixes which will never be avialable on general release

Amsha might just be a cute little blob when he's alone in Flipull but if you summon him & his family in Cadash, they may just kick your ass

Impossible but here's some from the last few days Special Ed - Got it Made 1st Project - Right Before Heist - Spies VIP Nuyorican Soul - Nervous Track Tom Browne - Funkin' for Jamaica Black Machine - How Gee Jeru - Come Clean Rare Silk - Storm Charanga '76 - Mi Amor Prohibido Deetron - Discovery

www.youtube.com/watch?v=se_G... Tunes to make you feel like Hipopo. Mostly dubs with a few forthcoming tracks & a few faves

the first game that I ever imported Oct, 1990 - wouldn't have a Jp MD to play it on until that Xmas though. Didn't buy another UK released game until the Xbox 360 era

Here's a little collage I've put together of all of the player tanks from Cyber Commando. They were originally printed in Gamest but spread across 6 pages, so I just put them together Game got a ton of coverage across several issues back then, so I'll dig through that for some hints later

Joint 7th place in the Cyber Commando Caravan. Not a disaster but nothing too great either. I'd have liked 6+ kills to reach the bosses but it wasn't to be. EIYO575 was the only player across all systems to get the clear

In today's dumbest announcement news Namco & Taito have provided some of the best 'living history' interviews & previously unseen behind the scenes game info in memory. No more 'oh, here's footage of completely undocumented version of Marchen Maze' or w/e😢 Sad times now it's confirmed
