  • Hát én ezzel a Dunaétteremben nyomtam Ráckevén ugy 1988-ban.Basszus nagyon kemény.

  • "Luther destroys the Gond!"

  • I guess this game is quite revolutionary for its time..... I was born in 81 actually.

    It's similar to Scramble but the level desing is much more original.

  • Ah, memories of the arcade in the Chalmette (LA) cinema mall. At 15 years old, far too scared to talk to chicks, so hung out in the arcade playing classic video games like Vanguard!

  • Did you know this game has music from the 1980 movie Flash Gordon?

    See here:

    Listen at the 1 minute mark. Great classic movie btw! Soundtrack is done by Queen!

  • One of my favorite games EVER! Thanks for the upload!

  • is this the esact vanguard on psn if it is i'll buy it please respond if you know

  • @urmom69alltime

    Sorry I do not know.

  • Where is the Erogenous Zone? :)

  • cool, my cousin won a Vanguard tournament a long time ago

  • Jeez, for some reason the music during the grub attack on the vertical part of the map has stuck in my head for the plast 30 years.

  • i played this at the Glasgow Appollo when I was about 18... and consequently bought the Atari 2600 version. So its great to see the arcade version being played...you did a really good job and I got to see all the stuff I havent seen in ages... sweet.. thanks very much....

  • Nicely done! The synth music sounded a bit better through the arcade hardware than MAME reproduces, but you can't have everything :) @MamePlayer - Thanks for posting!

  • @Thoreandan

    Thank you for watching and commenting my video :)

  • I'm kinda shocked...not only is it that short, but this is from the same company that would make METAL SLUG.

  • Man I used to play this game at the arcade 30 years ago. What a blast from the past. You would get to a point where the ship was moving so fast you could hardly control it. I would love to play this again. Thanks for posting.

  • I remember liking Vanguard back at the arcades and at my local convenience store. The only thing I didn't like about it was that Gond's scary laugh. I was hoping I could destroy him before he could start laughing.

  • If I didn't know any better, the intro music sounds like "Star Trek Next Generation" and the "Flash Gordon" the movie.

  • @philiptwood Yeah, it's a blatantly obvious rip off. Actually, the intro is from star trek the motion picture. STTNG didn't appear until about eight years after this game came out. The other tunes sound familiar too.

  • @Wintericecrystal It's not ripped off. It was licensed.

  • @philiptwood Comments, arrrrrrise from the grave! Vanguard's power-up music is indeed Vultan's Theme (Attack of the Hawkmen) from Flash Gordon.

  • I have only played this game on the Atari 2600 and after watching this video makes me wish i had a chance to play this in a arcade some where.

  • I have played directly on the cab when it came out in arcades, i was 13-14 years.

    How many good memories ...
