New video from Kim Justice - this time looking at Konami's catalogue from the 1980's in the arcade scene, some out-right classics mentioned in the video!!

Konami singlehandedly put Data East out of business.

They were that good.

Never knew that, that being said though Capcom, gave Konami a run for their money -even in the console space come the 90s

Track & Field is one of all time favourite games.

Hope he does the 90s. Run and Gun is the greatest basketball game ever created.

When I played this on MAME way back when internet downloads were new, it's so much easier using a keyboard mashing buttons.

It was so easy I'd keep going on forever. I'd quit because my wrist was sore hammering the buttons. It was so sore for a few days I thought I got carpel tunnel syndrome from it. LOL.

I never realized how much harder it is to do well at the arcade using arcade buttons.

Back then, konami sets many foundation to lot of genres. I'm missed old konami...

How is that? I always thought Data East left the business because they lacked an arcade hit in the 90s (the closest was Magical Drop) and never adapted to develop 3D games.

So many amazing games. Also the flyers were bizarre, tacky/campy legends in their own right.

any chance these will get a collection for current systems?

Kim justice puts out some good content, but I can't watch it because that voice annoys the fuck out of me. Use you normal voice

Looks like borat and Kelly bundy on that boat.

Do a lot of these 80s cover art feature Brits? I get a British vibe from lots of the covers and magazine advertisements.

Yeah but I think he is one of the few if not the only one who would cover this sort of topic on YouTube, not many about that cover the history of the likes of Ocean, and Psygnosis

Game Sack does that sort of thing as well. Super underrated channel imo.

I don't think they're British, they're almost certainly US-produced, but as a Brit I'm flattered that you think this wonderful guff is attributable to us

Game Sack is great even though the dynamic duo are not together, even as a solo presenter the show is still hasn't lost its mojo
