Area 51 Demo Loop + Gameplay
I managed to get a hold of this 1995 Arcade classic developed by Mesa Logic and published by Midway (for arcades) and Atari (for home release).
Fun Fact: In arcades, Area 51 (along with Site 4 and Maximum Force) ran off of a system called CoJag, which was a modified Atari Jaguar, that made use of a faster processor and additional RAM.
Turns out it was ported to the Sega Saturn, PlayStation and Windows PC CD-ROM subsequently after it was a hit in arcades.
This is the PC CD-Rom version.
- The program is locked at 15 FPS (60 FPS is possible, but only at score/tally screens).
- It defaults to fullscreen.
- It, amazingly, runs on Windows Vista (the video was filmed on my Vista PC) (the game was made to run on Win95 architecture, and I have a lot of games that are the same that do not run well at all on Vista at all).
- The light gun control scheme is replaced with a crosshair for controller/joystick/mouse control.
- The graphics are of lower quality than the Arcade version. It won't be that noticeable on YouTube, but believe me, the graphics are better on an arcade cabinet than a Samsung HD monitor.
- It constantly needs to run off of the CD. Early form of copy protection, eh?
