A true classic of this stream, B. Rap Boys is a game I didn't play when it was new in the arcades but really grew on me once it was emulated. It certainly has its share of problems, but there's something earnestly goofy about it that kept me working towards the 1CC.
We primarily focused on B. Rap Boys Special for this showcase, with the original only briefly shown at the end. The original B. Rap Boys has way less enemy variety, and defaults to 2 lives per credit. Special definitely seems more like the "finished" version of the game, but I'm still not sure what the timeframe was between the original and Special.

Played this for the RetroAchievements Leaderboard of the Month for the first half of September 2026. I just wanted to put up a decent 1CC score, wasnt expecting to get a deathless run out of it!
Compared to the MVS version, the Neo-Geo CD (as well as AES) version is actually a longer playthrough. You see, each of the four worlds in this game has 3 areas that can be played through. In the MVS version, you only play through 2 of the 3 areas, but on the home versions you have to go through all 3 for each of the four worlds. When selecting a world in the MVS version, the first world you select will make you play areas 1 and 3, while every world after that will be 2 and 3. Since you have to do all three areas each time, this bumps the number of total stages up from 9 (4 * 2 + final stage) to 13 (4 * 3 + final stage)! And as you can see, this makes it take an hour if youre doing some score stuff here and there, plus visiting all the bonus stages.
Despite all my time playing this game (which is pretty much always the MVS version), I couldnt recall if Id ever gotten a no-miss run of this. Since this was rather unexpected, AND was done on the version that has 4 extra stages to play through, I figured this was worth highlighting and saving. The only asterisk I would attach to this was that it was played on Normal difficulty instead of the MVS default difficulty (MVS is Level-4, whereas Normal is usually Level-2 or Level-3). To be fair though, Ive never really noticed anything different gameplay wise outside of it MAYBE affecting how much damage you take? But it always seems to be around the same amounts anyway.")

Hadnt really played this game since I got the 1CC, was able to de-rust it a lot faster than I thought and got through the entire set at one night. My original 1CC was on the World version where the game is only 5 stages long, this version makes you do all 7 stages (i.e. your route choice doesnt matter on stages 2 and 4 because you end up having to play the other routes anyway), which pads the game out a little too much! Anyway I got a new 1CC on this version at 2:20:21, was going to make a highlight of that to add to the 1CCBBH collection as an alternate clear but Ill just leave it in this VOD for now I guess.")

Another console shmup Id never played before but wanted to check out. It was an interesting experience for sure, of course theres things you gotta learn through trial and error but thats par for the course with shmups. I didnt like how terrible some of the weapons felt, but difficulty-wise it was pretty manageable even on Hard once you learn how to get all the hidden 1-ups. And of course the cutscenes were entertaining.
Apparently the second game is a platformer... will I play it? Maybe, who knowssss")

Before we start officially covering games released in 1992, as is tradition I like to start by flipping the script and talking for a bit about games that WERE popular in 1992, or at least have attained a newfound legacy in the time since they were released. Much talk (and even some playing) of Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition, and the bootleg rom hacks that became prevalent, and Mortal Kombat! And a buncha other games too. Concluding at the end with a 1CC attempt on Total Carnage because I felt like i hadnt played it on stream in a while, and this was the perfect excuse to bust out that long-ass game. Howd it go? Eh...")
