Beast Busters - Arcade - Intro & Single Player Playthrough, SNK, Halloween video [4K60]
13Full gameplay longplay, playthrough walkthrough and guide to 1989 SNK game Beast Buster which sees you blasting through zombies and hordes of the undead. Even if many of them are using weapons to shoot back at you which is a little odd. SNK's take on the Operation Wolf format wasn't a great title, as this game like many of SNK's early titles is brutally hard requiring perfect timing to win. That and the fact the controls for an early light gun title aren't great and it seems very sensitive when moving the weapon.
Decent visuals and music, the game's one advantage over the Taito operation arcade games is the fact it has three player support. Aside from a selection of special weapons, there isn't much here that hadn't been done before or better. Which might explain why it wasn't found in that many arcades compared to other on-rails titles. The zombie, beast monster theme and even the name is likely an attempt to cash in on the Ghostbusters success from the 1980s.
It is included in the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, but the controls for that one are incorrectly tied to the stick and default back to centre and are super sensitive. All the player names have a USA vibe with Johnny Justice, Sammy Stately and Paul Patriot being the three. There are five games in the Beast Busters series to date.
