Anyone liked these "clear all enemies to beat the stage" games?
Stuff like Bubble Bobble, Zupapa!, Snow Bros, Nightmare in the Dark, Tumble Pop, Pang, etc..
Absolutely, love these games. Don Doko Don is a good one.
I like these games too. Is there a good name for this genre of video games?

Japan calls them Comical Action Games, and Single-Screen Platformer works as well.

I remember playing tumble pop at some children's play room where they had a lot of arcade machines like Asterix and Obelix, Super C and even a re-built one where you could play GTA 1. It felt so satisfying to suck up those monsters and bouncing them all over the screen and the sounds were also pretty good. Does anybody know if Data Easts arcade games are emulated well on any emulator nowdays? If so I'm gonna grab the roms and try to play them again after over a decade.

Fuck yes I liked them.

Yeah, that's not it
>>4249589
Go play the caveman ninja one, thank me later

Game looks really fun, but fuck these Japanese games and their complete lack of anything resembling an overall theme.
Rodland is really fun too

They run fine on retroarch
Only if they feature little girls.

I wish this game was on the sega saturn instead
I don't want a pcfx for this one game

I wish the game was on Windows with h-scenes.

Wow, I really dig the fun attitude this game's op is giving.
the designs all look like a lot of fun too. ACTUAL FUN. Feel like that's something modern day lolicons are missing out on. Or maybe that's just anime artists in general.

No mention of Dig-Dug?
It's a classic.

Pretty much only machine that was always busy.
Yoyo's puzzle park is one of the best
Taito were surely the pioneers of this kind of game with the likes of The Fairyland Story and Chack'n'Pop leading up to Bubble Bobble.
There was a point in the mid '90s where it seemed any place that had a single Jamma cab setup ALWAYS had either Snow Bros or Captain Commando installed in it. No wonder Snow Bros was bootlegged to hell.

>collect all dudes != kill all enemies
my mistake, stupid memory
How about Pirate Ship Higemaru or Bomberman

I wish it was on saturn with h-scenes
Rainbow Islands was fun
Qwak's alright
Reminder that Bubble Symphony is the best Bubble Bobble
>>4249589
Can't say I like the genre as much as it exists, but Zupapa is easily one of the best Neogeo games that isn't a FF/KOF/AOF or a Metal Slug.
