(This article was first introduced on October 8, 2020 through the Naver Post Game Dong-A Kduntji Bear Gameduk Research Institute.)
hello! [꿀딴지곰 겜덕 연구소]This is the early manager who runs the . This time, we have also invited Kkuldtanji Bear, who is active as a classic game expert answerer in intellectuals. This time, it’s a genre that can be said to be the arcade’s favorite. Let’s take a look at the top 10 belt scrolling action games.
[오락실 하면 역시 벨트 스크롤 액션 게임!]
Early: hello. Honey bear. Here’s a bit of a fun topic this time. Top 10 Arcade Belt Scrolling Action Games!! Certainly, there was nothing like a belt-scrolling action game in the days when arcades put 100 won in and enjoyed it.
Intuitive, easy, fast and stress-relieving game series. As many people searched for it, games with various concepts and settings were also released.
Grumpy Bear: That’s right. So, in fact, this topic can be said to be both easy and difficult. Isn’t it a genre that is too difficult to select 10? In order to avoid controversy as much as possible, we should choose a game that was loved by many people and also had excellent gameplay.
Early: Well… the users seem to have different thoughts, but they are all similar. Please recommend a great belt scrolling game that can be recognized by anyone. ^^
[최고의 벨트 스크롤 액션게임을 알아보자!]
Grumpy Bear: A belt scrolling action game that all arcade kids enjoyed! In fact, there will be games that you can’t get rid of if you deal with only 10.. I’m a little worried.
I’m going to introduce only masterpieces that hurt my mouth, to put it bluntly, but… I want you to know that I can’t guarantee objectivity because it’s my own ranking, which is subjective and full of selfishness. ^^
Early: Heh.. As expected, the professor is worried.. haha Please introduce a good game.
[10위 – 다이나마이트 형사(Dynamite Deka) / 1996 / SEGA]
Grumpy Bear: Detective Dynamite is a 3D belt scrolling game developed by Sega in 1996. It is a game developed for Sega’s dedicated board ST-V, and it is also a game that opened the 3D era in the belt scroll world.
The goal of the game is to save the president’s daughter from the terrorists who have taken over the high-rise building! It was called ‘Die Hard’ in Korea because of the setting similar to the movie Die Hard in that it occupied a high-rise building, and the title of the North American version is also ‘Die Hard Arcade’.
In particular, the unique mission of the agility test type is one of the strengths of ‘Dynamite Deca’.
Early: It’s a nostalgic game that uses the ST-V board compatible with Sega Saturn. To make an action game this much fun with Sega Saturn’s poor 3D expression ability.. It’s amazing Sega! This is the game I wanted; After all, it’s more fun than graphics.. I repeat;
Grumpy Bear: Haha In fact, it was popular in the arcade, but perhaps because the price of the board was cheap, it was also distributed in the form of a mini cylinder in front of various elementary schools, and it is also a game that gave memories to many elementary school students at the time.
The overall degree of completion of the game was not high compared to the existing belt scroll games, but the powerful sense of impact felt from the 3D graphics and the three-dimensional effect made hitting taste excellent, and it was also fun to use various weapons and items.
Among gamers, it is known that the true end of the game is not the bald man who appears as the terrorist boss, but the president’s daughter. What is the reason… ^^;;
[9위 -천지를먹다2(天地を喰らう2 赤壁の戦い) / 1991 / Capcom]
Grumpy Bear: ‘Eat Heaven and Earth 2’ is a belt-scrolling action game developed by Capcom based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. If the previous game actually felt like a kind of shooting game riding a horse, from the second part onwards, it shows a high level of perfection as a game that boasts colorful graphics and cool hitting with a full-fledged Capcom style belt-scrolling fighting action.
The content of the game deals with the Battle of the Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms, and there are as many as 5 playable characters, and there are a variety of fun as the three characters of the previous work, Zhao Yun and Equipment Gwanunjang, as well as Hwangchung and Wiyeon join. In addition to various attack actions that can only be activated when riding a horse, there are hidden special moves as well as command-type special moves!
Early: Hidden Special Move! very good! In particular, I was glad to see that the characters in this game adopted the skills of ‘Street Fighter 2’. Ji-gi casts Biting and Jang-Gi-F’s Screw Pile Driver like Branca, Jo-Woon does Seung-Ryong Fist, and Wi-Yeon does Summer Salt. lol
Grumpy Bear: you’re right. Haha Personally, I like Wei-yeon, who uses Gail’s summer salt the most, and I tried to play it because I wanted to use the equipment’s screw pile driver. Is there anyone who uses it properly?
Early: It’s not easy, but it’s perfect in front of the opponent while spinning the lever! You can do it. The trick is to turn the lever and press the button accurately in front of the opponent. ^^
[8위 -전신마괴2(電神魔傀2 : Guardians) / 1995 / Winkysoft]
Grumpy Bear: God of War 2 Guardians is one of the most asked belt scrolling games by intellectuals. It is a sequel to the previous work, ‘The Whole Body Magician’, and many people know the title as ‘Guardians’ because it was mainly released in North America and foreign versions in Korea. Gamers have a lot of memories, probably because it was installed not only in the arcade, but also as a mini cylinder in the stationery in front of the school.
Early: It’s my favorite game too. Like the previous work, it is an action masterpiece with various command-type skills and elements to enjoy! The feeling of hitting is excellent, but the real pleasure of handling the 8 characters with different attributes was great.
Grumpy Bear: There are also characters that are story-related with the previous work, but especially the winged angel (although it is strange that the angel wears a claw in his hand) The identity of the angel character is shocking to those who have played the previous work. Because Zeldia was a hideous looking monster character in the previous work..
Personally, I liked the robot character Belva and the winged angel Zeldia the most. ^^
[7위 – 야구격투 리그맨(野球格闘リーグマン :NinjaBaseballBatMan) / 1993 / IREM]
Grumpy Bear: Baseball fighting Leagueman is a game that was mainly called Ninja Baseball Batman or Baseball King game in Korea and was released by Irem in 1993.
Since it can be played by 4 players, it was one of the few belt-scrolling action games that can be enjoyed with friends in an arcade along with Dungeons & Dragons.
Each character has a variety of skills and command-type special moves, so the taste of digging in was great. If you adapt to the overall colorful and flat cartoon-style drawing style, the fun is endless! At the time, it was very popular as an arcade god game for elementary school students.
Early: Hehe I think it’s a fun game because both the hitting feel and the atmosphere are lively. Sometimes when I see bosses, there are shapes that have nothing to do with baseball.
The green character performed the best, but I liked the yellow character with a grab attack of the ‘Screw Piledriver’ subtype. ^^
Grumpy Bear: However, the unfortunate thing is that… ironically, in Japan and North America, where this game was released, it is a completely crazy game, so many gamers do not even know its existence.
Early: huh? is it so? Looking at the game quality, I thought it would be recognized overseas enough…
Grumpy Bear: no. It doesn’t. It’s a game that doesn’t do well overseas. It immediately reminds me of the review that AVGN made sarcastic upon hearing the title of the game.
Ninja? baseball? baton? It literally has all 3 things that Americans love!! Nevertheless, I was blown away.. said…;
[6위 – 캐딜락 공룡신세기(Cadillacs and Dinosaurs) / 1993 / Capcom]
Grumpy Bear: Cadillac and Dinosaur, a game based on North American comics with a unique world view featuring dinosaurs, is a game that can be played simultaneously by three people, loved by arcade users for its belt scroll with excellent hitting feel.
The difficulty of the game is not very difficult, so it is also a game that I especially like. First of all, thanks to the conceptual system that allows you to dash left, right, up and down, it is very convenient when moving, and the feeling of light operation and hitting is very convenient. A variety of firearms, weapons and items that appear in each stage, and unique bosses with strong personalities are attractive.
Early: It was cool! Run and hit it with a dash attack! I think it was a game that could be enjoyed with a very upbeat rhythm. I haven’t met anyone who likes action games and doesn’t like this game.
Grumpy Bear: Since it was a 3-player game, I often enjoyed it with my friends. The fact that Mustafa, a black character, was so good, that each other was clamoring to do it was famous.
Of course, I often played Hannah, a red-hot character. What kind of character did Jogija play?
Early: I mainly played the bulky Meso character. I liked the taste of hitting it with a heavy fist.
Grumpy Bear: The interesting thing is that when this game is multiplayer, you can throw or hit each other, so it is possible to play cooperatively. It’s a cooperative play, so it ends up destroying friendship. lol
I put the picture above, but the bonus stage where I summoned a Cadillac and rode it through the field was very impressive.
[5위 – 제로팀 (Zero Team) / 1993 / Seibu Kaihatsu ]
Grumpy Bear: For a while, there was no emulator that was properly implemented, so I could only play it with practice, so a lot of people in intellectuals asked (I only answered dozens) a fantasy game!
It’s not a first-class game at the level of Capcom when you try it with a board, but it has a good taste. After all, most men would have chosen a female character named Spin. ^^;;;
The butt exposure was as high as her in Golden Axe. The performance is quite light, such as the fast attack speed of the punch and the combo attack that launches the enemy and stabs it like a spike.
Early: Haha When you think of Team Zero, isn’t that what comes to mind when you pat the enemy with your palms and hit them?
Grumpy Bear: It was a series of slaps with polite words hehe There were a lot of people who were on the zero team because the feeling of that slap was good.
Early: Ah.. I suddenly want to do Team Zero. I would like to get a board from eBay or Ilok. ;grave;
Grumpy Bear: It’s a game worth getting the board for. As an aside, the overall volume of the game is not very long, and there are New Zero Team and Zero Team 2000, which were released by changing the order of the stages, but I personally think they are not good because they are not as good as the original storytelling.
[4위 – 골든액스 데스아더의 복수 (Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder) / 1992 / SEGA ]
Grumpy Bear: After Golden Ax, many users waited for the sequel, but the first one released was Golden Ax 2, which was only released on the home game console Mega Drive. Considering the performance of the Mega Drive, it’s not a very bad game, but it couldn’t be a very shabby game to be called a sequel.
And right away, a legitimate successor to the arcade Golden Ax has appeared… That is Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder.
Early: It’s a game for 4 people in the arcade, and the level of completion was extremely high. Personally, I think it’s Sega’s best action game. In particular, why did I like the feeling of hitting this ‘Death Arthur’s Revenge’ so much… And I don’t know if I have more memories of watching this game as I was overwhelmed with the big game console screen called Megaro when I was young.
Grumpy Bear: Oh yes. However, the only regret in this ‘Death Arthur’s Revenge’ is that all characters have unique appearances except for one warrior identical to the previous one. I was particularly saddened by the disappearance of Tiris, who was a female character. Quite a few must have been disappointed because the only female character was a centaur. ^^
Early: What was impressive. It was fun to see Grandpa Dok2 from the previous film unable to move on his own, so the two appeared as one on the back of a giant character. They do a great job in the ending, but I won’t comment for those who haven’t played yet. he
[3위 – 에일리언 대 프레데터 (Alien vs. Predator) / 1994 / Capcom]
Grumpy Bear: ‘Alien vs. Predator’ is a space masterpiece made in the twilight of Capcom’s belt scroll!
It is an action game with a refreshing sense of impact in which the main characters work together with the Predator to exterminate the aliens, and since it also appeared in the late 2D game made by Capcom, various command skills are available and various weapons suitable for the world view can be used.
What’s unusual is that with the overall attack concept, the humanoid character was given a firearm that can fire continuously for a certain period of time, and the two Predators were given a plasma cannon. Personally, I’m a beginner and I’m not good enough to put something like an aerial combo in Balcon, but when I saw the players play, it seemed like they were playing a different game because it was on a different level.
Grumpy Bear: I always play Predator Warrior, which is the easiest to control, but when I saw the masters playing, they mainly played the female character, Rin Kurosawa. Although Rin has weak physical strength and power, she has so many different skills that if she uses them well, she is said to be the strongest.
Early: Alien VS Predator. It’s a space masterpiece. It’s a game that has license issues and is hard to come out again, but I’m keeping this game as a board. To be able to enjoy it anytime ^^
[2위 – 던전 앤 드래곤 : 셰도우 오버 미스타라 (Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara) / 1996 / Capcom ]
Grumpy Bear: A legendary work that tried to make an arcade game of the D&D fantasy world that Capcom had been dreaming of since ‘King of Dragon’. Only two series were released, and the era of 2D belt scrolls came to an end without a sequel.
In Tower of Doom, the first in the series, you have to choose one of the four jobs to play, and in many ways, it is an early work, so there are many loopholes in the technology and there is no sense of boredom. Afterwards, it was the second, Shadow over Mystara, that was released as a complete version by reinforcing these shortcomings.
It can be played by up to 4 players with a total of 6 jobs to choose from, and the game volume is roughly 40 minutes to an hour if played properly, making it a rare masterpiece for an arcade.
Grumpy Bear: and. Looking back, isn’t geography really a game? In the history of arcade belt-scrolling action games, this ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ should not be left out.
As a Capcom game released around this time, it is attractive that you can activate splendid special moves with command-type skills, and because there are various powerful magic, it can be said to be the end of fantasy belt-scrolling action games.
Jogija: On the contrary, it was made so well.. In the early days, the arcade owners made money, but later, it was also a game where 4 masters played for more than 30 minutes and didn’t make money;;
[1위 – 파이날 파이트 (Final Fight) / 1989 / Capcom ]
Grumpy Bear: ‘Final Fight’ is a game that actually opened the arena of full-scale belt-scrolling action in arcades and is like a bible of belt-scrolling fighting action.
Huge characters that fill the screen, hitting feeling that fits tightly, and warigari that can easily attack the boss pattern… In fact, it can be seen as one of the games that I played with the most coins in the arcade at the time. There was.
Especially since it was a time when the neighborhood kids and office workers didn’t get out of their seats, I remember just sucking my fingers and staring at them.
Grumpy Bear: Personally, I didn’t know how to play Warigari well, so I preferred Guy over Cody. I liked Guy’s unique speed, nimble body movements, and looks that somehow reminded me of a martial artist.
Final Fight has been ported to various devices thanks to the immense popularity of the original, but not many devices have properly digested it. In the case of the Super Famicom, it took on half of the stigma by deleting the playable character Guy and limiting the number of enemies that appeared simultaneously, and the perfect version was a long way off in various consoles that appeared later.
It is ironic that the Game Boy Advance version of ‘Final Fight One’, which had a high degree of perfection for a portable device, received a surprisingly good evaluation. ^^
Early: flaw. For home porting, the X68000 version is the most perfect porting. Although the number of co-starring characters was reduced, it was a quality that would be safe to say that it was a complete transplant. If you connect it with MIDI sound, the sound surpasses that of the arcade. If it’s not X68000.. what. At least the MegaCD version would be better.
Grumpy Bear: It’s the X68000.. It was also a game development machine for Capcom’s arcade. ^^
Early: Anyway, I’ve been looking for 10 belt-scrolling action games like this! Thank you for your hard work in finding games like Giraseong. Each one was a gem of a game. They were masterpieces without a doubt. Just in case it’s a pity…
Grumpy Bear: What if you regret it?
Early: It’s a shame that games like ‘Double Dragon’ weren’t introduced ㅠ_ㅠ It’s a game I really like.. ‘Double Dragon’..
Grumpy Bear: Big breath..;; 10 was too few.. I think I could have quenched my thirst if I had at least 20. ㅠ_ㅠ If you have another chance next time, it would be nice to deal with 10 more belt scrolling action games.. or even a B-class game. Black.
Early: yes professor. Thank you for your hard work today. Even if you look at the belt scrolling action game again, there are really many masterpieces.
Grumpy Bear: Your early son also did a good job.
Early: Ego! This time, we took a brief look at ‘the best belt scrolling action game!’.
