The Wild World of PSX Arcade PCBs! Taito G Net, Konami Crypt Killer and More! PS1 Arcade Hardware

SUPPORT THE CHANNEL :   / videogameesoterica  

I grew up with the PlayStation 1 under my tv stand and it's one of my favorite retro gaming platforms of all time...so I wanted to do SOME SORT of series on it. But considering it's more fun to talk about the esoteric side of retrogaming I decided to do a ten part series on arcade games that run on PSX hardware; the Capcom ZN-1 and ZN-2, the Namco System 10, Namco System 11 and Namco System 12, the Konami GQ and of course the Taito G-Net.

Things like Tekken, Street Fighter, etc etc...all existed on these kinds of arcade boards AS WELL AS at home on the PlayStation 1 console! Video game history on both sides of the gaming aisle! Also if you like Final Fantasy....Ehrgeiz!

We've got arcade fighting games, beat em ups, shmups, lightgun games, horror games...and even a little Final Fantasy!

Up first: A tour of all the weird and esoteric PSX based arcade hardware that exists: The Taito G-Net motherboard, the Konami GQ motherboard (Crypt Killer) and the Konami GV / Baby Phoenix. Because there is so much retro gaming fun to be had when it comes to PS1 arcade hardware and games!

I mean who wouldn't want to play Capcom's Rival Schools on an arcade board? Or Mr Driller? Or Point Blank?!

plus even if you don't have the arcade hardware like I am showing here these games all emulate via MAME emulation! Video game preservation win!
