Holy fuck, the old Captain Power VHS missions are /m/ af. M

There's quite a few cool rail-shooter or quick time event style animated "games" that were in the arcades (and then brought to the PC, Sega CD, and Sega Saturn) back in the day. Some of them have some damn cool animation, though usually choppy. My favorite is Road Avenger, though its not mecha related.

That Road Avenger SNES port is one of the most impressive things I've seen in ages; pretty much instantly validated my purchase of an SD2SNES board.

/m/ - old ass shit (we don't care what it is)

Shiiiiiiiit, I remember this shit when I was really little.

Aways seemed like a colossal waste to me that the Sega CD was "the console" for this sort of shit. It is a powerful piece of hardware that can play graphically advanced games like Batman Returns but was instead mainly used to add 64 color windowed FMJ videos to existing games. Looks like garbage. Basically the Genesis is the absolute worst choice for any sort of digitized video or graphics because it has a low color palette. The Sega version of Road Avenger/Blaster does have a unique and superior soundtrack though! And no, it doesn't exist independently of the video and SFX track.

The series died because some parents said the interactive part was promoting violence.

I loved these as a kid. The 3rd video was the best IMO. I wonder why they weren't included as extras in the Captain Power DVD Boxset.

>I finally sat down and played them out of curiosity and I was blown away, the animation in this is fucking insane

The animation was done by AIC and Artmic.

>Even the mech designs are good.

Check out the credits, Mecha design was done by none other than Shinji Aramaki. Also another familiar name in the credits; Soundtrack was by Kenji Kawai of Gundam 00 fame.

That's a bit of an over-exaggeration, it's fine but not great.

>could have picked any of the Ghost in The Shell movies
>could have picked the entire Patlabor series
>could have picked Tylor
>could have picked anything else that had any value regarding mecha

>nah, let's pick the shittiest Gundam AU

The animation's pretty cool, I like it

Does anybody know if the sound effect at 2:38 (when the jet is warping or whatever) was used in any other anime show? The majority of Track 11 of the Greed 1985 OVA OST is just that SFX

>>14702045
The reason why I'm asking is because I had assumed that it was a sound effect that the composer of the Greed OVA had created himself but I guess that isn't the case anymore

>>14702055
Could be from anything. Stealing sound effects is common practice in B movies and anime.

Kenji Kawai was in G-Reco?
