This is a compilation video I made, featuring caravans from 1985-1993
the year Hi-TEN bomberman was used as the main event.

Enjoy this rare game footage!

I've always wondered why the call it Caravan????

Yakumo

[ASSEMbler]

because it moved every year.

[WolverineDK]

impressive and wow :)

[Yakumo]

because it moved every year.

Fair enough. Thanks for letting me know. It had always puzzled me.

From what a Japanese pal told me, it was a "voyage of hudson corporation" on the move to different locations. :-P

It strikes me as a very western type thing and uncommon for Japan.

Imagine a "Resident evil caravan" moving around Japan, with special limited edition prize games.... slobber...

Great vid thanks, i certainly dont play Final soldier like those guys hehe.

Funnily enough, thats exactly how I play Final Soldier. That video sorta makes me wanna buy the rest of the games.

[Baseley09]

You shoukd buy the rest of the games and that includes Gunhead to the naysayers haha! They are all great but Final Soldier is the rocketh one...imo of course.

I play them somewhat slowly and methodical, i get worn out if im zooming around the screen.

[mooseblaster]

Wow... just wow. I'd never thought I'd see footage of the Hudson Caravan stuff. Thanks ASM!

I must admit, watching those kids play Star Soldier, I realise now why I sucked at that game.

Great video. Brought back memories of when I would have marathon runs of Truxton, and Raiden.

I really want Gunhed but it seems to go for more than I want to pay...maybe I should track down the US version...

It always seemed like a Soldier game to me.

Awesome video. Great work!

[wheelaa]

The World Cup 90 bit (SSS - one of the great pce tunes) at the end when the guys dies! We've all been there!!

[ave]

Yeah, awesome video!
I actually never saw the Super Star Soldier Caravan Shooting... but I really enjoyed it, also because I've been practicing the 2min Mode of SSS a lot as well. Nice to see how popular these shooters were in the late 80s/early 90s.

great vid :)

never heard of hi-ten bomberman before, what platform was it? its a one-off game?

what shmups is that just before the bomberman footage?

[Barc0de]

firstly, the screen used in hi-ten isn't a plasma, last time I checked they didn't exist back then,

second, even 480p was considered HD i think back in the day.

Awesome footage nevertheless. Very nostalgic. Reminds one of how games *should* be. Raw and addictive with clear sounds that burn into your head.

[Yakumo]

Yep, in the early 90's or even very late 80's NHK were doing 480p TV via their sat' stations BS1 and BS2 or as I call them Bull Shit 1 and 2 since that's all they ever broadcast, shit :lol: They now call it BS Hi-Vision since they now do "real" HD TV

plasma, last time I checked they didn't exist back then

100% wrong, they had plasma TV's in 1993.

You're not going to get the degree of viewing and brightness as seen in the video on a TV like
a projection television.

So if it not a plasma, it has to be CRT. However, and I am not aware of anyone that has made 16:9 tubes
bigger than 35 inches.

From what I read, it's a prototype plasma screen. (1035i)
