Bionic Commando

Bionic Commando is one of Capcom’s most memorable arcade action games from the late 1980s. Originally released in 1987 for arcades, the game quickly stood out thanks to its unique movement system. Instead of jumping like most platform games of the era, the player moves through each stage using a bionic grappling arm to swing across platforms, climb walls, and avoid enemies.

That mechanic alone made Bionic Commando very different from other arcade titles at the time, and it is still a defining feature today. The arcade version was followed by several home releases, including the well known Nintendo Entertainment System version released in 1988, which expanded the story and introduced the character Nathan Spencer.

In this video we revisit the original 1987 arcade experience and see just how demanding it still is today. Timing your swings, avoiding enemy fire, and navigating vertical stages require patience and precision. This is a true example of classic arcade design where every mistake matters.

This playthrough features gameplay and commentary, sharing reactions, observations, and thoughts while playing through this legendary Capcom release. If you enjoy retro gaming, arcade classics, and discovering why certain games became so influential, you are in the right place.

New Railly X

Today we return to New Railly X, a new AI powered game released in 2026 inspired by the classic arcade maze driving formula made famous by Rally-X.

The original Rally-X was released by Namco in 1980 and became one of the early arcade games to feature a radar system showing the position of enemies and objectives on the map. The goal was to drive through maze-style levels collecting flags while avoiding enemy cars.

New Railly X takes inspiration from that arcade design while introducing an AI-driven version of the concept, bringing a modern twist to a style of gameplay that helped define early arcade gaming.

In this video we return to the game and attempt to push the score as high as possible while navigating the maze and collecting points.

This video includes full gameplay and live commentary, so if you enjoy discovering unusual games, retro-inspired titles and arcade style challenges, you are in the right place.
