  • Back when I was a kid, I tried so hard in the worst ending to get Faulkner to die. Got close to it too, but never made it. Glad I didn't have to live my childhood in 2005-present. There wouldn't even be something worth reminiscing, let alone enjoying.

  • One of the best games on PSone in one line with Front Mission

  • Wasnt there an anime of this game? or simular to it?

  • @ChaoticZero2000

    Only thing I can think of that's close to Vanguard Bandits(That is, mecha in an fantasy-world) Would be Escaflowne.

  • I remember playing this as a demo a long time ago

  • It's a shame working designs had to close their doors. They made lot of RPGs that I had found memories of when I was little. I would love to see this hit PSN, but that seems less then likely...

  • Please make a part 2 of vanguard bandits..

  • this game was really tough. I remember one battle against the shark mechs that drove me up the wall. I liked it alot though. Wish I coulda got the good ending.

  • This game is the best ever I can't believe gamespot gave this a 6.2 games now a days are brain dead, and place no emphasis on thinking. The best rated games are the one's that require no thinking thus get a higher stars. I don't know if I'm the only person that thinks this way but every other game out there is so brain dead seriously.

  • i had the ending where it looked like the girl was digging a shining booger out of her nose

  • Is it just me, or does this sound like the Yu Yu Hakusho opening?

  • Everyone who is interested in this game should check out PSN because it was released on it! Such a great game!

  • It's getting put on PS1 Classics for the PS3, PSP, and later Vita!

  • So much nostalgia :' (

  • I remember this game it was good.

  • I REMEMBER THIS GAAAAAAAAAME!!!

  • This opening is awesome and all but why does this animation look like it's from 80s/early 90s

  • hey ehm anyone know what programming language they used to make this game? it would be really helpfull because once i finish my courses of C++ Programming, Java and later on Python, i want to develop some games, and one that follows the storyline of Vanguard Bandits, i would like to make a game where it Before the story of bastion, and then another one that follows the story of bastion. also this game, when i make it would be free, and for pc, but will take a while to make...

  • great memories, this song is amazing too!!

  • This was the only game that ever made me pull an all nighter. "All right time for Vanguard Bandits...What! It's 6 AM already?"

  • You guys are all insane. This game was terrible. The battles took for ****ing ever. Every time you would engage in a fight it would show a stupid cutscene...Shit was ridiculous.

  • @LunarianCrystal You could turn off the battle cutscenes... it's in the options

  • @rayjinflo Well that changes everything then. I can't say I really tried to see if you could turn the CS off/on. I don't know I guess this game is in a league of its own because when you compare its story and gameplay to other tactical rpgs like the infamous FFT... XD

  • @LunarianCrystal

    Yep... I think the select button did it, too. I love tactics. I got the PSP remake, but the framerate during most actions was ridiculously slow!!!!

  • My Duke Zeira was so overpowered...

  • WE MUST GET VANGUARD BANDITS 2!!!!

  • nostolgia <3

  • Ah, such memories. It was, and still is, a great game. I own a copy of this game with this intro, and I still play it to this day due to how much fun it has been for me. I remember as a kid it boggled my mind by how much I could do, and the ATAC attack scenes really made me feel epic as a child.

    This will always be a game I treasure. And those who also know about the game Tomba (Or Tombi) I salute you. Not many people know about our Pink haired Pig Slayer!

  • invite people who likes rpgs visit to my channel and discuss about this beautyful type of games!invite people who likes rpgs visit to my channel and discuss about this beautyful type of games!

  • i love this game the best game in ps1 :) nice memory go bastion :P

  • i love this game ! i bought one ps1 just to play this again

    hehee

  • I miss my childhood days! Fuck corporate life T_T

  • Im so glad that this has so many views! go join the face book group!!

  • I want a REMAKE of this game on the PSP!

  • i only remember Barlow really, cause of that fat little jerk i got the bad ending. he was so useless that i ended up using him as a decoy to make as many of the enemies chase him to the end of the map and use my main force to clean the stragglers up.

  • This was one of the greatest games ever... good lord

  • i used to play this about 6-7 years ago, and i really want to play this again..!!!!! the story line is great and i never got bored playing for 10 hours straight! :))

  • Singer is Jenny Stigile. She has many video game songs to her credit, including several from the Lunar Silver Star and Lunar Eternal Blue games. Her youtube channel is jd777d1 and she has uploaded many other incredible songs as well.

  • I remember playing this as a demo but i could never find it at a videogame store.

  • @2Zero9Signal4 i could get you the image disc :P

  • VANGUARD BANDITS FOREVER !

  • Another game that needs to be downloadable on PSN.

  • I remember I wanted Bastion to pilot a Sharking so bad in this game...

  • I found this game in middle school at a local video game rental store. I must have rented it enough times to have paid for the game itself. Years later, after graduating from high school, I HAD to find it on ebay and buy it.I still have times where I just go back and play through the entire thing.

    Some very memorable lines of dialogue are in the game as well. Such as when Bastion tells Faulkner he wouldn't give him a bucket of spit if he burst into flames.

    Or when Zakov spits into his cockpit

  • @PaladinArndt yea i feel you bro , i miss alota old games , but you can download an emulator and play ps1 games on your computer , i played this , crash , final fantasy 9 <3 it realy makes you feel the old days

  • @PaladinArndt: This game has a great, well-thought script! I usually don't laugh so often reading dialogues in a video game.

  • The first time I finish this game was the on kingdom branch "worst ending" I was like "I'm never gonna play this again, this game sucks". LOL for 6 years I was wondering what has gone wrong and still curious about this game. Good thing I played castlevania games and learned about alternate endings, now I have this game on emulator :D

  • please , give me link of Download of the GAME for PC

  • @MrThormyl romhustler -> ROMS -> Sony Playstation -> V

  • This game is so cool, I played through it and...only got the bad ending(>-<)! Still a classic!

  • @Gxyz222 You should play it again for the good ending :)

  • @ObssedOne, your right, I would if I could just find the bloody game! I would play it again just for all the really funny jokes each character made!

  • @Gxyz222 Actually you can play it again :] Just download the psx then the game. Not really hard :] i'm playing it on my pc and still have it on the ps1

  • @Gxyz222 You can play the game again :] on the pc. Just download the psx then the game. It's not really hard. I play it on the pc even if i have it on my ps1

  • @ObssedOne, I completely forgotten about that! Plus, a long time ago, I've seen afew of my friends played some interesting MUGEN fights that way, too. I think I'll do just that(as soon as I finish the last few chapters of Final Fantasy 11)!

  • @Gxyz222 Good luck and best wishes with it :] 

  • @ObssedOne, arigato, I wont fail!... 

  • I hope they could come up with another Vanguard Bandits. I really love this game <3

  • Great story. Great fun. Great game :)

  • This game is rare? I have it in pretty good condition still for PS1.

  • it is a legend game. i miss it very much.

  • i miss this game so much.. aha what is it like 1999?? :)) i was just 10 .. weee

  • i miss this game =c

  • Fun fact: Ever had the bad ending on the Kingdom Branch? You know, the one where Bastion gets hypnotized and kills his buddies? I gave my army super awesome ATACs and raised all their stats to 32 using CWCheat. :D They OWN the battle field, kill the horde of Sharkings, then kill Faulkner. That should have snapped Bastion back to reality but since the game isn't made to go that way, the characters just continue to attack you and the game over screen shows. :(

  • Also, if you guys want more fun with this game, gameshark or CWCheat it and watch. You can have infinite HP and FP, 32 stats for all players, and can give people any ATAC you want. Plus, you can add more members to your team. I made this cheat with bastion having zulwarn, devlin with crimson, reyna with altagrave, barlow with sarbelas, and faulkner, yes, faulkner on our side, with ultragunner! :D trust me, it's worth do get gameshark for this.

  • Wow, I didn't even know people still played this game. I have this game on my psp. I used to play it on PS1, then got addicted and got it on PSP. Greatest game ever! Someone go tell square enix to stop making fucking stupid final fantasies that have crappy gameplay and give working designs the praise they deserve. D:

  • AWEsome opening XD still have the game myself

  • i love this game i remmber back in Russia like 7 years ago i used to play that shit a lot, went all paths

  • one of my favourite, 5 different paths and 5 different endings. Still Zulwarn ftw :)

  • they should make a sequel for xbox 360, ps3, and pc! and of course same gameplay but lots of new stuff. i would totally wait for it! lol

  • @jizzzlyn I agree ><!

  • I miss the old school charms and style of the old PSX games, its just not the same anymore ;_;

  • actually I WANT VANGUARD BANDITS ONLINE!

  • The English version of this song is surprisingly MUCH better than the Japanese opening song.

  • lmao i play this game lots of time and i keep playng it i already passed the game like 10 times

  • I made a video playing that hidden track I mentioned earlier.

  • I bought this game a long time ago and agree it's one of ps1's greatest games. Did you guys know that there was another intro to the game? Not sure what you have to do to view it in game, but i remember seeing it when the video was pulled from the game disc. There was also a funny audio clip for those who pulled music from the game

    I'll do some research. If i can't find it i'll post something myself so that it's not lost forever.

  • @BaldarkParadul Yes, it's the alternate opening. You can unlock it by beating the game. (I guess.) It has some very funny lyrics. XD

  • Thanks for the upload! Loved this game man. I still remember all the humour in the ruin branch. The spoilt brat Sadira was really annoying lol. My favorite guy's still Barlow and his signature lollipop xD

  • i had this game then got damage :( now it costs about $100 im sad till this day about thew game, why cant they start selling the game again??? it would make the world a favour

  • i had this game then got damage :( now it costs about $100 im sad till this day about thew game, why cant they start selling the game again??? it would make the world a favour

  • @greendaist i strongly agree with u, yet u can play it on psx , great game

  • i had this game and got damaged :( :( i loved this game

  • Does reasarch on faulkner and finds out that he's a douche

  • Looking in a mirror againare ya?  BTW that's not a funhouse mirror you DO look that ridiculous.

  • Ahhhhhh there's the racist ninny we all know

  • hey! where the hell is the anime of thisgame I ordered?! Damn them!

  • Ahh I loved this game ~Still has it~ Now I need to play it again :D

  • i hope there is vanguard bandits the movie lol

  • Man this makes me wanna dust off my copy. . . maybe I will tonight.

  • i still remembre Duke Zeira and Toreadore as the best because on land they could move a lot and can cause armageddon with sonic blade, seconds where Reyna, Devlin (i wuv that empty-head), Prince Duyere was pretty funny, i liked him a lot, and i LOL-ed a lot on ruin branch with the selfish Sadira, and genius Milea, she beat lord Alden on chess, even devlin said that hit on her head turned her into a genius, the TICTAC and 69...priceless, but to have that ridiculous name, 69 was pretty powerful

  • @Dewani90 I used to play this game so much, but one day on my birthday they "suprised me" they got me a new ps2 and they threw away my old one with vanguard bandits in it :(

  • @Dewani90 that's why its a good thing puck came out with the zulwarn xD

  • @deathgaze18 actually 69's where really bad... you could tidal-wave them twice and they die from the back or when they where stunned n.n, i love fire blasting them, they dont even try to counter... and bastion against faulkner chat before you defeat him was hilarious o.<

  • This wasn't the rare opening.

    After beating the game it'd open every once in a while with an opening about bowel movements.

    It was funny cuz the chick didn't laugh at all xD

  • This game was so great

  • is there any bonus features like an epilogue for any of the routes if u finish them all? all i got from the sadira route was the part where everyone's peaking and the mission count.

  • omfg such amazing memories.. loved this game... i wish ps3 games was as original and creative games as on ps1

  • DIOSSS este juego influyo en mi para jugar miles de rpg y cambio mi modo de ver las cosas la trma la modalidad toda su historia UFF sorprendente juego i love this!!

  • Truly sux that working designs had to close down. =(

  • this game was awesome.. ahh.. my childhood

  • FUCKING EPIC. LOVE THIS GAME!!!

  • I think it would be a good idea if they made this game for Nintendo DS or something like that ^^

  • Japan's PSN has had this forever now, Epica Stella. Maybe if the NA PSN wasn't so god awful we'd have good classics, but nooooo...instead it's a shitstorm of guitar fail and rockfag dlc. Practically identical games that flood the PSN with pointless add-ons; because it's so fucking hard to put those songs on a blu-ray, right? /vent

  • me too!! I have played this many times more than some other of my games :D I really love robots... mystic robots :)

  • Anyone know if this song as a full version?

  • THey should've made an anime out of this like they did with star ocean cuz this song, vid and game is fuckin awsome!

  • I used to leave it on the menu just to hear the music.

  • I loved this game! The gameplay and story was just..awesome :)

  • i hope some one makes a live version of this song

  • I know for a fact that the two companies human and working disings are no more but at least human made the Nude Maker company there is where the Vb creators are!!!! who knows, maybe if a lot of us the truly VB players made a request to them....well who knows.... who knows you don't losse nothing, just google nude works they are human entertaiment or at least the rest of them

  • It took me a few weeks and about 100$, but i finnaly procured a PS one and a copy of Vanguard Bandits in good condition with the original manual.

    I couldn't be happier.

  • Faulkner is one of the coolest villains of all time. "If I had a heart I think it might be moved." AWESOME.

  • omg i loved this game. i loved the ending where bastion kissed the princess xD

  • Thanks for posting! Oh the nostalgia...

  • an Epic game for sure!!!

  • I could have bought this...

    Gosh.

  • ı want wanguard bandits 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @smallstar23

    use epsxe 1.7 and the config found on ngemu to play this perfectly on ur computer

  • @smallstar23 you can have my old wang-guard.

  • This game is so fuckin awesome they should make an anime out of this!!!

  • Oooh. I played this alot of times. Had to import it from the USA to Europe, but it was worth every buck!! Would have loved to seen this in a remake:D

  • Best game ever seen!

    love it so much

  • how you made video?

  • Really bring back memories... sniff... Zulwarn vs Ultragunner... so cool...

  • Yes indeed

    the better game of psx why? its easy, the story is really good

    and the game is really fun

    if you don t play it, doesn t late

  • OH MAN! FRIGGEN NOSTALGIA!

    I still have this game sitting in my shelf full of games. This vid just motivated me to dust it off and play through it again.

    thanks so much for the upload!

  • I had the same reaction, man. This game was one of the most epic on the ps1, eh?

  • The song has some special feeling that is LOVE

  • amazing game. it was the first PS game i ever had. it took me months to find it after i played it at my freinds house one time. im glad i did get it

  • best game ever! story line and battle sequence i wish they made a sequel, or remake!

  • Amazing Game. and song. I played through it like 7 different times trying to get all 5 endings. I like the Empire/Sadira branch the best. This was the only game in middle school i ever stayed up all night to play.

  • This was a great game...I played through the whole game..I was young at the time so I kinda lost the game shortly after beating it....I've been looking for it ever since

  • Yeah this game caught me the moment I saw the Ad in my Electronic Gaming Montly magazine XD. I rented it and I LOVED IT!!! Last year I wanted so much to play it once more I finally bought it back on ebay for 80$ (ouch) So if you want it you can:

    -Download the game and play on a psx emulator (if you have a descent CPU)

    -Buy it on Ebay, but warning, the game is REALLY COSTY XD

    But hey! this game is sooooo damn good it worth every cent.

  • Seems like an incredibly old anime XD

  • ya'll are crazy. how the hell did a comment page for this video about a game become a forum for a racial war?

  • People from the PCEngineFX forums are dumb.

  • BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!

  • I love this song, I remember it by heart

  • i love drama in comments. :D

  • I'd love a remake or a sequel...it's more than sad that this game was underestimated.

  • yeah waht a great game

  • lol when i saw the comments its kinda funny... at first i thought there were some kind of connection btween the commnet and the video... lol but....

  • Wow, this is quite humorous (the comments not the video of course).

  • Thanks for uploading this intro man:)I played this game when i was 16 years old..8 years ago:)Great job.

  • us economy is crippled.

  • First off dickhead I grew up in a 95% black neighborhood...try it there see how long you last dipshit. Plus where I grew up was a LOT worse that your city (remember we looked up the crime index #'s. On top of that that was hardly the only racist type remark you made.

  • I was making fun of Chris Crocker on my old account dumbass.

  • GREAT game, but hardly rare. Even oon Ebay it runs $30-40ish used.

  • I got mine for $10.

  • ANd what you want a cookie?

  • Uh oh! The chairman of the "NinteNga Hater Club" is turning green! XD

  • Nope fixed the typo to your stupid name, and turning green?? My collection dwarves yours, so I have no reason to be jealous of ANYTHING about you.

  • But you see I only buy games that I would enjoy. Video games to me is a luxury, not life like the way you make it.

  • Wow, I enjoy all my games, and life? Man you like assuming a lot, I have 3 kids as you know, and plenty of other hobbies (much better than your stalking people on YT, etc).

  • Your wife must have really low standards then. God forbid she finds out what you are really like online....

  • As a matter of fact, how in god's name you even got a woman? I seriously doubt a beautiful woman would want to get involved with you if she gets to know the real you.

  • Ahhh coming from the person who whines he can't get a woman. Ironic that you say I have no life, etc yet lets see I have a wife, kids, house, niv=ce game collection, other hobbies. Yet YOU live with mommy, no real friends no woman...whats that say about you tubby?

  • You are forgetting that you are almost 10 years older than I am. Besides any guy would very stupid to get married and have children so early. Might as well walk around with a ball and chain dude. BTW you know NOTHING about me so STFU.

  • Yep "ball and chain" moron I've been married since I was your age so another failed generalization. As for knowing stuff about you, I go off of what you have stated many times, in multiple places dipshit. YOU are the one that claims to know all about me based off of your assumptions, no facts...I have a life, you don't why be so bitter. "BOO HOO I WAS BANNED FROM A SITE" yet you won't STFU over it. Theres archived pPROOF of your actions there, so all the "lies" you keep claiming are moot.

  • (Yep "ball and chain" moron I've been married since I was your age so another failed generalization.)

    Still quite early to get married. lol
