I hope you are all happy, safe & healthy whatever challenges you are facing right now.

Bit of a change from gameplay footage and apologies for the delay in uploads - I've been away for a week or so on a course so these videos are quick uploads before I revert to capturing gameplay footage from less common console games and old phones :-)

Back in the mid to late 90's EDGE magazine in the UK would occasionally covermount a CD with previews of upcoming games. I used to watch these previews over and over - it really was an exciting time in gaming & with only very slow dial up that tied up the home phone line these video clips were way better than screenshots in the magazine or waiting for hours to download a massive 20Mb file :-)

While having a sort out I found the CD in my loft (it is one of 4 that EDGE gave away covering the games etc of that period) and was originally a AVI Movie at 15 fps so I've converted and uploaded. This was taken from the 4th and last CD they cover mounted.

This is an early preview of Fighting Bujutsu: Wu-Shu by Konami running on their powerful new Cobra Arcade board. This was intended to go head to head with Virtua Fighter 3 from Sega, running on their powerful new Model 3 board as well as Namco's various offerings. It's a pretty impressive looking game for the time. I miss the Konami of the 90's :-(

Let me know if you'd like to see more of these. I can probably compile into a longer video if that is easier?

All copyrights belong to their respective owners - Konami, N64, Nintendo, EDGE, Future Publishing etc and I'll gladly remove if 40 seconds of 25 year old compressed video is an issue :-)

As always if you enjoy this video let me know. Also let me know if there are particular games or systems you'd like to see.

As always this is uploaded under the Fair Use Policy - no money is being made from this video.
