Brian DunawayHOST
Take that
Scott JohnsonHOST
Taito.
Brian DunawayHOST
Jerks.
Brian DunawayHOST
One of my favorite things I'm probably going to forget that I have is a french fry on a chain.
Brian DunawayHOST
Take that and-
Scott JohnsonHOST
Take that, Taito, jerks
Brian DunawayHOST
... one of my favorite things I'm probably gonna forget that I have It's a french fry on a chain.
Brian DunawayHOST
Look at that, McDonald's french fries.
LeeHOST
Renegade itself then.
LeeHOST
Technōs built the arcade as Nekketsu! Kōha Kunio-kun, uh, a schoolyard scrap, and Taito localized it for the West as a street vigilante collecting his kidnapped girlfriend.
LeeHOST
Imagine Software under the Ocean label handled the British home conversions in September eighty-seven.
LeeHOST
Mike Lamb coded the Spectrum, Ronnie Fowlds drew it, Fred Gray wrote the music, and Bob Wakelin, uh, painted the inlay, uh, everyone stared at in the shop.
LeeHOST
Stories around Renegade then.
LeeHOST
The Kunio-kun roots meant the arcade, uh, had a different flavor to the Western street story, and players who later found the Japanese original noticed the school uniforms and the softer setting.
LeeHOST
Taito’s localization sold a tougher fantasy, and UK kids bought that version without knowing the other one existed.
Mark WebbHOST
Selling a school scrap as a midnight street war is marketing with the dial turned up.
PatrickHOST
Uh, I just released the first volume of the Arcade Gears series, Pulu Rula, which, uh, and he now moved on to the second one, Gun Frontier.
PatrickHOST
So, um, it was released by Taito in 1991 and ported exclusively to Saturn about six years later.
PatrickHOST
Produced by Zing Entertainment and developed by Goo.
PatrickHOST
An exclamation mark.
AddictedHOST
And let's start with a brief introduction.
AddictedHOST
Ray Storm was developed and published by Taito.
AddictedHOST
It was the first released in arcades in August of 1996 and ran on the Taito FX1B hardware set.
AddictedHOST
This is the PlayStation-based set that is the same hardware that ran Taito's G Darius.
AddictedHOST
Ray Storm is the second game in Taito's Ray trilogy, though from a story standpoint, it's unrelated to the two other games.
AddictedHOST
At first, when reading the story, I was thinking, is this Gundam? Really Gundam? Is this the Principality of Zeon that's breaking away from the Earth Federation? Are we going to be dropping a colony near the end of the game? I swear, the boss of Stage 6 is Char, isn't it? In that red map?
Orc CommanderGUEST
Well, it's quote-unquote an original design, a.k.a. Alarek, who I believe is based off a historical figure, the King of the Visigoths.
5 MINS LATER
Metal FroHOST
Yeah, this is all actually from his LinkedIn page, it looks like, or from an article on LinkedIn about Chris.
Kevin WilliamsHOST
Let's get it in the right order.
Kevin WilliamsHOST
Uh, our friends at Taito continue their explosion into the Chinese market with their particular flavor of, uh- I would say amusement, but really it is a UFO store.
Kevin WilliamsHOST
It's a cl- it's a claw, uh, cade.
Kevin WilliamsHOST
Let's, let's call, call a spade a spade as it were.

Adam PrattCORRESPONDENT
And again, I do not know what has been changed, enhanced from the home version of this to the arcade one, aside from what you see, you know, it being Alan One's upright arcade system with a trackball, two players simultaneous, wind effects, rumble, the MLS as well.
Adam PrattCORRESPONDENT
Now, as you also may notice here that this is showing a mirror effects model, which is using the Pepper's ghost effect where it lays the monitor flat, bounces the image off of glass.
Adam PrattCORRESPONDENT
But what's interesting about Alan One's mirror effects is it uses a very rare variation of the Pepper's ghost effect where this had been done back in 1985 by Taito.
Adam PrattCORRESPONDENT
And there was one other, I think it was Game Max did it, a very super obscure game in 2005, 2006 around there that did this, but it's actually overlaying two monitors.
Andrew ElmoreGUEST
Um, it, all of it was just the best to me.
Andrew ElmoreGUEST
Taito, Sega.
Andrew ElmoreGUEST
Even though I was a Nintendo kid, I didn't wanna admit I liked Sega that much.
Andrew ElmoreGUEST
Even the...
KingyHOST
Yeah.
GavinGUEST
With the, like, the ports, I know I have Gordon's favorite game, I'll go back to Wardner, on there, and some of the games that came on the Japanese M2 ports of, um, like, the TAITO Arcade Garage games, they have loads of different modes 'cause they were done by, clearly done by M2.
GavinGUEST
So yeah, it was really good.
GavinGUEST
They're, they're, they're really detailed, and they've got, all the versions have got, like, the Japanese version, European version, and Mega Drive version just of, like, Wardner, for example.
KingyHOST
Woo.
GavinGUEST
It is brilliant.
GavinGUEST
And again, those TAITO Arcade collections have, have got a depth of hidden games.
GavinGUEST
So they are, they are really good, and I think they're quite cheap on, on Amazon, if I'm honest.
MikeHOST
Well, so here's the interesting thing about the choices of the games.
MikeHOST
And first, I think it's just worth mentioning that this is a Taito-published game, but Software Creations developed it.
MikeHOST
Software Creations, not a name that, like...
MikeHOST
I wasn't like, oh, where have I heard that before? But they're the studio behind Solstice, which we know Joe loves.
Jason RobbinsHOST
Uh, let's see.
Jason RobbinsHOST
It comes preloaded with 12 Capcom arcade titles as well as Ar- Arc- Atari Arcade 2, Interplay Collection 1, and Taito Arcade 2 Evercade cartridges.
Jason RobbinsHOST
Uh, the games included in the Super Pocket are Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting, Mega Man for the NES, 1942, Ghouls N' Ghosts, your favorite, Eric, um, Final Fight-
Derek DiamondHOST
Yeah
Derek DiamondHOST
All right
Jason RobbinsHOST
