  • It reminds me a bit of Panzer Dragoon.

  • Good game, but not what Yars Revenge should be.

  • closing comments were the funniest thing I've heard all day. Thank you.

  • Looks a bit like Panzer Dragoon, to me. 

  • kind of reminds me of the 3d version of defender i had for the ps2, wasn't bad but not great either.

  • Your ham-sandwich squirrel comparason has to be one of the wierdest things i have heard.

  • My god, I remember playing Yar's Revenge on my 2600 way back when. Those were the days huh Mark?

  • Err, what's with everyone know being able to figure out how to change resolutions, run full screen etc? You just run the configuration program helpfully labeled "Configure Yars Revenge" How can anyone miss that?

  • You know you can just plug an Xbox 360 controller into your PC and use that right?

  • they even screwd up the name: in the original it was titled YARS' revenge as in the yars which is a mutant insect race and there group's revenge ( plural possessive)

    The use in this game is referring to one "yar" and that it would be her revenge... therefor the title would be YAR'S revenge (singular possessive)

    BUT ITS NOT

  • @NintendoHound Well she's still supposed to be an insect - that looks like a 4 armed anime girl with white hair. So yeah.

  • MARK u have to use a track ball mouse and a N-52 d-pad with number pad thats the only way to pc game. and its way better than using a x box controler or a ps3 one.

  • Do you want to see me work my tight round ass for the camera?

  • Comment removed

  • @redbuck82 Thanks!

  • This looks like some kinda Axelay sequel or remake, not friggin' Yars Revenge!

    Atari 2600 for the win, baby!

  • SHOW US UR PC!!

  • What serious PC gamer doesn't have a dual analog stick gamepad? I am amazed that people still think PC is a keyboard and mouse only, when it has NEVER been.

  • I tried this on xbox, hated it. WAY too many things on screen all at once to pay attention to and I had a problem locking on to things with the multi-missile.

  • So mark said the 360 version was better, but other than the somewhat poor mouse controls he mentioned, isnt it basically the same? And he said in the review that he did play on a dual analog pad for this game also.

  • Nice review Mark. I waited a long time for this remake since it was announced. Being a die hard fan of the 2600 version since I was a kid, I was really looking forward to this remake. Then I downloaded the trial?!? The first thing I said was, "This is not Yar's Revenge. This is Space Harrier." Why did they call this game Yar's Revenge??? Why not just call it Space Harrier 3: DX or something like that? It's an o.k. title, but not what I was looking for. ~ What a bummer!!~ Ted Striker

  • The fact that you said you said the analog sticks are better is pure opinion, I personally prefer Keyboard and Mouse

  • @InjectedWithAPoison, dyabolyk13, & panntasatan. He states in the description and the video that he is using a mouse, but mouse support in the PC version is flaky.

  • This game looks amazing, gotta get this!

  • PC? I prefer PS3

  • PC gamers why you so mad? Lonely huh?

  • Comment removed

  • UGGH! I just read the comments! I hate fanboys of anykind! Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Sonic, and PC elitists especially. No one cares how much money you blow on making a computer. NO ONE!

  • This is waaaay better than Sin and Punishment. My favorite Box game of the year, too. The original sucks though...

  • Reminds me of Panzer Dragoon a little bit.

  • @crazemaster89 They should have just slapped that label on instead. It's a lot closer to Panzer Dragoon than Yars Revenge OR Space Harrier. Man, I wish they'd make a sequel to keep that series going.

  • why can all pc and console gamers be freinds and except that all consoles are as good as each outher................apart from the wii

  • Wow, they turned a fun unique game into the most generic thing possible.

  • is the squirrel ok?

  • Wow, I didn't know that anyone can actually aim worse with the mouse than with the analogue stick (unless the mouse is broken). Intriguing.

  • @InjectedWithAPoison im shure that his problem its that hes used with auto aim system from consoles ... with the mouse u actualy need to aim :D

  • @dyabolyk13 I wouldn't be so sure, since many, many console games don't use auto aim. On this video it looked more like Mark was aiming with the keyboard... or touchpad maybe?

  • @dyabolyk13 yeah, point and click take so much skillz!!!!!!!!!!11111uno!!!!

  • @dyabolyk13 yeah, point and click take so much skillz!!!!!!!!!!11111uno!!!!

  • @Panntasatan mutch more "skillz!!!!!!!!!!11111uno!!!!" then: move analog to right and auto selects the target :p

  • @dyabolyk13 if you say so, whatever make you sleep at night cupcake!

  • @Panntasatan It's true.. Consoles take no skill what so ever when aiming.. Aim Assist is just a toned down Aimbot.

  • alt+enter = full screen

  • @omfgroflma0 not on mac :(

  • OH CGR, You have sony vegas and yet dunno how to crop out the obvious windows headerbar (ps, it's the pan/crop option)

  • It looks like Sin and Punishment.

  • Comment removed

  • @adamskaviolet I was thinking the exact same thing

  • Honestly I thought he'd be alittle more exited about this game since he's always going into how Yar's revenge is the greatest game ever made right up with that game on the vetrix, But then again I was always clueless to what the original Yar's Revenge even was.

    But by the name I alwasy thought it was some sort of pirate themed game, cause it makes me think of yar har yar im a pirate.

  • Looks like Atari port "quality" didn't change much since Pacman 2600...

  • Hell yeah!! Yars Revenge was my favorite title for the Atari 2600 now that is on the computer I will have to have it. Thanks for sharing.

  • i'd say if u wanna play something like this i'd go for sin and punishment on wii

  • Wow!Finally a REAL PC review.

  • He is using a trackpad, not a mouse.

  • I used to get drunk as shit with my dad and play Yar's Revenge on Atari 2600....

  • @cheznar That makes you like 50 years old....

  • @BlindColor360 nah i just had irresponible parents....lol....

  • Alt+Enter in Windows Vista had a message pop up saying, "Whoa! Google Chrome Has Crashed!"

    ....

  • WAIT WAIT WAIT

    ITS

    YAR FOX!!!

  • Mark uses Windows Xp professional.

  • How this came to be: Some game developer exec asked, "What is the cheapest, but still recognizable, game trademark we can buy the rights to for a remake?"

    Yar's Revenge!

    My recollection of Yar's Revenge when I was a kid in the 1980s (I must be about Mark's age) is that I did not think much of it, but maybe that is because it was an "original title" and not an arcade port. Mark's review has convinced me that maybe I judged it too harshly as a kid.

    But even so, it seems an improbable remake.

  • Atari did a poor job of porting this to PC but you can get it working properly quite easily.

    1. Use a 360 controller on your PC since this game was designed with that in mind.

    2. Find the AppSettings.ini file in your Yar's Revenge install folder and open it with notepad, look for where it says "Fullscreen=0" and change that 0 into a 1.You can also set resolution and vertical sync in here.

    With that done Yar's Revenge PC will now run better than the 360 version.

  • @SuperRepose Non PC gamers don't think to edit a config file or registry settings manually though.

  • looks boring in my opinion^^

  • Anyone else click on this video because they thought it was Red Alert 2: Yari's Revenge...

  • Aah yes! I posted the release of this on your facebook a while ago! Glad you decided to review it. =D

  • Yar's Revenge is one of my all time favorite games... This makes me want to hurt who ever is responsible.

  • Now we need Yaris' Revenge.

  • Personally I think Yar's Revenge on the Atari 2600 was better.

  • @PimblyCharles

    Eh? If you watched the video you'll notice that he had issues with the game not going full-screen...

  • More closer to panzers dragoon

  • Funny,I just dl this today, now this review. I didnt like it, its wierd, stiff shooting and aiming

  • I... I can't barrel roll!!!

    lol but honestly like above ^ reminds me of panzer dragoon, or starfox

  • the game is disappointing, unfortunately

  • You can use a 360 or PS3 controller on pc and you can also hit alt+enter to go fullscreen! -_-

  • Now I know what's up with the squirrel in the beginning of all your videos.

  • @posthumanfetus

    i don't please explain it to me 

  • @posthumanfetus its actually because there is a place in pittsburgh called Squirrel Hill

  • @posthumanfetus what? tell me

  • In the demo at least you could avoid damage by simply moving in circles continuously. Sin and Punishment 2 is similar but much better.

  • MARK, CHANGE THIS INTRO!! LORD KARNAGE DEMAND

  • Yar's Revenge is a pretty fun game, but hardcore gamers will beat it their first time through and probably only die once while getting used to moving Yar and the reticule at the same time.

    Also, the only change you would have to make to Yars' Revenge(note the apostrophe) to make Yar's Revenge a sequel is change how the Yars were depicted from humanoid flies to hot anime chicks with fours arms in power armor.

  • I have got a unopened yars' revenge in original packaging, does any one know how much that would be worth ?

  • @lope129 over NINE THOUSAND!!!!!!!(jk idk :P)

  • The weapons fire and explosions look like they're about 15 years old from my first 3dfx Voodoo card. I guess there's a little nostalgia in that.

  • YARRRRRR ....Matey! Swab the poop de.....nvm...

  • @kvj1989 What does that have to do with Yar's Revenge? And I disagree with you.

  • Why do they have to make it a download only game. I can't even get this online because I can't connect my XBox360 to the internet.

  • People still buy PC games? I thought everyone just downloaded them for free.

  • @RazorKnuckles1 And that's why many PC gamers get mad when an awesome game doesn't come out to the PC lol because they can't pirate it. Good thing this doesn't apply to all of the PC players...

  • @joaovictor1994 Except only a few decent games don't get released on PC, SSF4 but thats alright cause AE is coming. I like the way Notch the creator of minecraft thinks though he doesnt care if people pirate his game cause he knows if people enjoy it enough they will buy it. Also PCs have minecraft which I don't play anymore but I know a million console kids who would kill to play that game. Also Steam is kind of taking over the PC gaming industry and a lot more people are buying games on there.

  • @AntichristDemoncore I love how the PC-only gamers affectionately refer to console gamers as "console kids". It's almost as if they are trying to infer that people who don't have the time or money to build a gaming rig are somehow inferior than those who can.

    We're all gamers, here. Besides, there are benefits to playing on both the console and PC. It is not as if exclusively playing either makes anyone any better. You're just missing out.

  • @spicyechidna94 I never said I was a PC only gamer you fool. I never said anybody else wasn't a gamer you are assuming so much from 2 words. A console kid refers to someone who only games on a console and is ignorant towards PC gaming and says things like it sucks. I grew up playing DOS games and NES games. You assume so much from 2 words stop being such a butthurt teenage bitch.

  • @AntichristDemoncore Take a look in the mirror, friend. I was merely pointing out that it is kind of silly to refer to console gamers with such an elitist mindset, but you're the one who freaked out and started talking trash to a 16-year-old. How very mature of you.

    Notice how I never said anything negative about PC gaming; I just despise the term "console kids". Yes, I'm a kid. Yes, I play consoles. But I also play on the PC. Both platforms are good.

  • @AntichristDemoncore Someone took my comment way too seriously. I just pointed out that it was kind of silly to refer to console gamers as "console kids"; you are the one who freaked out at my observation and started talking trash to a 16-year-old. How very mature of you.

    Notice how I never said anything negative about PC gaming. I just think it's silly to use such a derogatory term for any console gamer. How does that make me "butthurt" in any way?

  • @spicyechidna94 Dont listen to that class of people... I have the pc, the ps3 and xbox, and each one is better in some aspects (pc for fps, ps3 for arcade/racing, xbox for 3ps and rpg) and im happy with the three. The only console for kids is the wii, but thats whats intended for !! And its a cool console too.

  • @karlosrolero I fully agree. Both platforms are best-suited for certain types of games and there is nothing wrong with that.

  • @spicyechidna94 Holy Crap = Planet of the Nerds!

  • @spicyechidna94 there's no need to build a gaming rig, you can buy a PC ready for gaming anywhere. I have a laptop I bought a year ago now and I can still play every game that is released. Gaming on a PC can be as on the go as on any console. specially with steam.

  • @VoidKeeper I don't have a gaming rig myself. I do, however, use my laptop and occasionally my old Windows XP computer to play PC games. I agree, you don't need to build a rig to be a PC-only gamer, but the guy I was arguing with was a PC gamer with a rig who brought up how "superior" the PC was to consoles. I'm as much of a PC gamer as I am a console gamer. I have nothing against the PC platform, just the people who are elitist about it.

  • @spicyechidna94

    I agree with you, but you're saying this as if the PC community are the haters. Most of the time, console gamers hate on PC gamers and say they can't afford a console. I would be happy if high end gaming PCs didn't cost much. My rig cost me more than an XBOX360 and PS3 combined xD

  • @TheGorrack No, only the "PC elite". I am talking about the ones who talk down to console gamers because they think that paying more for their equipment makes them better than everyone else. I know a few PC-only gamers and they are good people, but some of the ones I find on the internet tend to be elitist assholes. Not all of them, but a lot of them.

    Don't get me wrong, there are a lot idiotic console fanboys as well. Both sides are about equal when it comes to hatred of other platforms.

  • @spicyechidna94 I play both. It's also not like people who play console are incapable of building a gaming rig.

  • @spicyechidna94 i never heard the phrase "console kids" and i am a PC-only gamer

    (well ok have a PSP as well but that dosnt count)

    but i agree with you but one thing pisses me of big time

    when a game comes out for: Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, Nintendo DS, PSP, and even fucking i pod but not on the PC

  • @EphraimRodrigez true. true. THEY SHOULD MAKE MORE DOOM GAMES. and half life 3 already. more starcraft and etc.

  • @EphraimRodrigez so then start playing some of those systems.  why limit yourself?

  • @SuperSteve180 i simply dont have the money to buy an xbox or playstation... well i could afford it but why should i pay 260 bucks just to play a few games that didnt came out for pc ?

    it pisses me off... but i can live with it

    and if i just wait a bit i can play them with an emulator

  • @EphraimRodrigez You've got a point about the money thing and to each therirown I guess. I will admit that I wasn't too thrilled about Tales of Vesperia not getting a ps3 us release I just can't afford a 360. And darn it why did youtube have to do away with having your comment highlighted to make it easier to find? I hate it when they do these things.

  • @SuperSteve180 well some people at you tube just dont know what a good idea is and what a idea is that should get you in mental care

    lets see what did google did for you tube

    + they brought HD and 3d, comment rating (well thats abused sometimes) and you tube partners

    - a shitload of bugs, a retarded video rating system and so many fucked up design choices they should really rethink who is the head of that department

  • @spicyechidna94

    PC gamers are stuck up. Just like some console gamers. I think anyone willing to argue over video games is a true nerd.

  • @dareangel666 I see what you're getting at. However, there is nothing wrong with a healthy argument over video games. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm a complete dork, but it's okay to argue. It's when the insults start to fly that the argument becomes pointless.

  • @spicyechidna94 while true, the pc never was lost in a gen

  • @youpooper1234567890 Well, that isn't a fair statement to make. If there are several consoles, it's obvious that one will eventually lose steam and lose the console war. Just because the PC hasn't lost the, uh, "computer war" doesn't make it any more superior than anything else. Since the Dreamcast "lost" the console war, does that make it worse than the PS2? No, it doesn't. Winning the system wars is more about marketing than the quality of the product in question.

  • @spicyechidna94 i'm not saying that the pc is superior to another console, hell, i play my genesis everyday! what i was TRYING to do was make a horrible attempt at a wise crack

  • @youpooper1234567890 Oh. I misunderstood. I'm sorry.

    Hell, I just played on the Genesis about an hour ago. :D

  • @spicyechidna94 a'ight peace offf

  • @RazorKnuckles1 If everyone just downloaded every PC game for free, there wouldn't be any PC games anymore.

  • i like the anology with the live squirll sandwich

  • on steam "right click yar's revenge icon-> configure yar's regenge"

  • panzer dragoon is better

  • @riachupwns Yeah but you need special software. Just search it on youtube.

  • 1, mouse and keyboard works better in games like this.

    2, F11 for fullscreen?

  • yet one more reason we need to find something besides a mouse for these pc games...sigh

  • THE SQUIRREL THAT GOT AWAY.

  • @DaveTheSodaGuy0 You mad?

  • @DaveTheSodaGuy0

    wow what a little bitch you are. who the F cares. you play your games your way and let mark play his his way

  • This games seems to play more like Panzar Dragoon Orta. Speaking of which, you need to review that!!

  • PC GAME REVIEW? MADNESS

  • I suddenly wanna go out and play Planet Harriers again,.

  • I accidentally purchased this game on XBLA. It is not that bad. Actually due to its difficulty it is pretty decent. By the way, the plot of the game changes 2nd or 3rd level in. First you are a chick in a robo-insect suit killing insects, afterward you find out that people in robes who send you to kill insects are bad and you have to fight them instead

  • mouse and  keyboard FTW

  • that ham sandwich analogy made me laugh uncontrollably, for reasons why ido not know

  • I have never been more intrigued or allured by any game featured previously than I am now by this one.

    Also, looking back on Mark's original Yars' Revenge review, I can't help but think the developers liked the idea of the Qotile as hot chicks so much they put it in this game.

  • i still what to now why my donut ran away? but that may be the answer.

  • those really don't look like mouse controls to me....

    looks more like you're aiming with the arrow keys or something >.>

  • @fallenangei

    or he could have used a wired xbox controller on a PC like I do

  • @fallenangei He is using a trackpad.

  • lets go watch some Yar hentai XD

  • hell id take that ham sandwich than ran away

  • Yar is actually still a... Yar... Not sure why they gave her the same name as the race she belongs to...

    This is actually a sequel to the original, it turns out the Yars were defeated and enslaved by the Quotile after the original game's story. Yar is basically on a quest to save the Yar race. I guess the Yars evolved since the original game and are more human-like now (but they still have insect characteristics like antennae and multiple arms).

    This is a great game, surprisingly.

  • @jobocan So basically it should have been named "Yar's Revenge, Again."

  • Now you're reviewing pc games Mark, could you review the awesome Team Fortress 2? You won't regret it, it rules.

  • @spiderjerusalem100 he's reviewed a few pc games already. in his orange box review he mentioned tf2.

  • Yes, a PC game review! :D

  • They should have just given it an original name, instead of pissing over Yars Revenge for a quick buck.

  • the orginal on the atari 2600is better

  • squirrel and ham yummy

  • X-Box 360 or PS3 controllers work nicely on the PC. They are even better than all these other controllers that they make for the PC, at least from my experiences.

  • I heard this remake was awful... every review trashed it.

  • Maybe doesn't look nothing at all like Yars Revenge, but It looks like a nice Rail Shooter! I'll give it a try c:

  • Windows XP FTW!

    btw: Alt+Enter=Fullscreen

  • Mark tell them to stop terrorizing Edit station 1! She doesnt deserve all that shit, even if this IS youtube! MARK HELP !

  • @goodflo911 she shit at her job if she was good then there would be no hate. and edit station 1 is the computer not the girl

  • @809Ollie why dont you stop watching the videos instead. Ive watched them all and just looking at words dosent annoy me.

  • @ochick1 i dont watch them all i watch every once in a while to see if shes got better. thing is its not cus shes not looking at the camera but if she learnt her lines she would talk alot more natural with less strange pauses and breaths.

  • @809Ollie she shits during her job? rly?:P:P

    Maybe ehrrmmm you should just gtfo if you dont like it? On the other hand, you spewing your senseless bile induced by your virgin rage is what makes her vids so funny

  • this remake sucks balls

    like every remake by atari
