how do you get the cheat menu up?
Yeah, the bushes in this game might only be knee high, but they're the most impenetrable barrier in the known universe
Here after the 'Rematch' announcement trailer
I completely forgot about this game! I had it , maybe I was 5 or 6. And I liked it then, seeing those night stages brings back memories..
The Christmas I got a PS1 it came with vrally and I remember being blown away by the graphics 😃 at this time it was also so cool to see current liveries on the cars. I didn’t play Makkinen rally but based on this video I’d say vrally beats it
by a mile
Played the heck out of IRC back in the day, loved this game. I even hacked (read edit 😂) the control .ini so I had analog throttle/brake on a seperate joystick axis to support a twin stick gamepad. Never played Tommi Makinen Rally but will check it out.
never played it but this seems like the type of game your nan would get you erroneously instead of Colin McRae
No doubt that happened to some poor sod 😂
What did you think of Tommi Makinen Rally? Let us know in the comments! Thanks for watching! Don't forget to Subscribe for more nostalgic gaming content
I love it. i searched just "ps1 fire fighting game demo" as i barely remember this game and i found your video. thank you for this. ❤
No worries, glad you enjoyed it 😁
4:44 While it shows 18 sets of levels, there is a secret set. once you get through the 18 level sets shown, there is a 19th that becomes accessible by scrolling up off the top of the list. They are so stupidly hard that I have no idea if there is a 20th. And yes, I did it without using cheats. I played that game so much on my PS1 that the display at the bottom got burned into the TV screen. 7:17 Yup! Pop up, take some shots, go back in the bunker, repeat.
The game baffled me and blew my mind at the time , could never complete it ridicule's game
I did complete Toy Story 2 as a child but I have to admit, what did spook me out completely was the Lifeforce Tenka demo on the demo one disc. I just couldn't bring myself to play through it back then.
Oh man, I just remembered this game. My son and I used to play each other on my old Playstation, ended up buying a second copy as the orriginal got scratched up to much to load. Is there a way to play this on the PC by chance?
And you can't fly in inner space..
I have finished all the levels on the pc version. I took me almost a year on an off. there is no speedrun. some maps take hours..
To be fair, FIFA RTWC 1998 was actually the first really good Fifa game. It just so happened that ISS was way ahead of the curve right from their 1997 debut - by 1998, you had 2 great football games with ISS being the better. By ISS Pro Evolution Soccer, there was only one clear winner. Many would argue that it wasn't until FIFA '09 or FIFA '10 that they regained the crown. Still some decent Pro Evo offerings during that time but the writing was on the wall...gutting to have no competition these days!
I remember buying the second one on a Saturday morning, then playing it all day and night until the sun came up - loving every second of it!! Only stopping when I heard my mum getting up in the morning!! Funnily enough though, I don't think I ever went back to it - overall prefering the first one... 👍
I knew about Andy Sinton and Chris Woods (I've got a demo disc that showed a lot of behind the scenes and developer interviews) but I didn't know Graham Hyde was involved in the motion capture!!?? I loved this game back in the day!!... Until FIFA 97!! 😂
Absolutely love this game!! I went back to it recently. I use my PS3 when I'm playing PAL region PS1, - the Dual Shock 3 and Six axis controllers I have felt too spongy to use any of the old mashing techniques!! So I switched over to my modded/chipped PS1 but even then I just about qualified... 😮 Must be getting old!! 😂
As a Brazilian I entered happy and forgot the name of the game had “98” written. I single tear dropped from my eyes at a certain point.
I beat level 18
Damn, what a nostalgia. I used to play it with my childhood best friend. My friend is no longer with us, but when I think of him, I think of games like this, we used to play together.
If you interested, I really want to battle with you on Colin Mcrae Rally 2.0, on Parsec. Because I'm really curious how if it played using parsec.
the uk rally is so bad, half of time you cant even see where you need to go
you have headlights and pacenotes for a reason
i think the in part 1 the car handles better.
why they dont make such games anymore?
I know, such a shame 😕
I was too young to play this game back in the day, but I played Athens 2004 and London 2012 official Olympics games, so I'm looking forward to play this Track & Field saga in emulators. Thanks for making this video!
Thanks for watching 😁
This sounds like the perfect football game for me. 😂
I used to love this game as a kid - thanks for covering it!
No worries! Thanks for watching 😁
If you were skilled enough to beat every team in World Conquest mode, then you would unlock 'Finals Mode'. This is a proper hard knockout tournement that only the most elite players could beat! Thanks for watching! Give the Subscribe button a tap if you want more gaming nostalgia Awesome
Remember as a kid always seeing an advert for this game on the vhs's and always being jealous of the posh kids at school with PCs. Another great video mate. Keep up the great work
Thanks 😁
I remember the jump in quality from the likes of warzone and attitude to the smackdown games being massive. Great video. New to your channel. Gonna watch a load more of your videos on my night shift later.
Thanks for the sub! Glad you're enjoying the videos 😁
I've been trying to beat Buzz for 6 months in vs mode. This is the HARDEST game I've ever stuck with. Burger Time, T&C Surf Design, Marble Madness, Ghost and Goblins... Hot Shots Golf is the the GOAT of hard ass games.
Wow that's some serious commitment right there! Good luck Adam, hope you find a way past him 🎮🏌♂️
Thanks for sharing this. I’m a Norwegian teacher, and grew up with Actua Soccer. It was the start of a dedication and years ahead that I could never could have imagined. I have talked to most the programmers, designer and other people in the team of the game. After years of work and setbacks I got the source code of the Macintosh version in 2014. I had two journeys to Sheffield prior 2014, and picked up the source code backups in Sweden eventually. It is a shame that all original backups were lost when Infogramers (ATARI that bought Gremlin in 1999) closed their doors. Everything from the Sheffield office was thrown and the building demolished. This game got an extremely interesting history, and that team worked with a passion and interest far beyond what the boring professionalized game industry today does. It’s two different worlds apart. It is truly a game with its own spirit. Far beyond anything from that period. Just think of a game that even got the legendary Arne Scheie as commentator on the Norwegian version. Yes, the game was republished in many countries to multiple language. The team was interested to reach as many as possible with the game. There are an American, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Norwegian version with commentators of their language. In the US the game is named VR Soccer and is just as famous as Actua Soccer, distributed by Interplay. In Norway, a unknown company (for myself) called AddOn, published "Fotball Feber", which would be football fever in English as the Norwegian version of Actua Soccer. However it never really made any success, and I probably got one of very few copies that is still around in my collection. Actua soccer 1 was a totally different game with a different team and source code. AS 2,3 and (4) were a different source code by a different team. Many of the programmers in the first version were headhunted to EA. Eventually several of them formed their own company. The main programmer of version 1 still works for EA today. The Premier manager was not a Gremlin coded game. It was a republish with English menus of the Spanish Dynamic Multimadias successful series called PCFutbol. They went into liquidation in the same period as Infogrames.
Wow, Thanks Thomas! It must've been amazing to get the chance to speak to the programmers! There's no doubt that these guys put their heart and soul into the game. Thanks for all of the extra info. I like to keep my videos short and sweet with just enough nostalgia that doesn't overwhelm people, but I'm sure a lot of people would love to read the extra details you've taken the time write. In which case, I've pinned your comment to the top of the video. Hope that's okay! 😁
@@RetroSamBam Thanks for your feedback. I’m delighted that you use time to reply. I’ve been on this journey since the 90s. Back in 1995 I was only a toddler at 10 years. It’s been very interesting to talk to the programmers and other team members. However sadly many of the programmers of the Actua Soccer 1 hasn’t been easy going. Those I met in Sheffield were mostly programmers of other games like Lee Hickey, Asad Habib and Sie Barlow. Amazing guys all of them. However I did a trip to Sweden to Julian Gardner, the porter of the mac version, and had a chat with him. That’s the final talk we have had together. However he was the only one reaching out to me of anyone back in 2006 when he mentioned he did the port. I think Julian is amazing and I am very much thankful to his effort. The designer, Wayne Laybourn, is a fantastic and emphatic guy indeed, just like the PS1 interview video sort of reveals. He also gives me a feedback when I’ve asked him for some details. I also talked in early days with the musician, himself in person (Neil Biggin), which have written a bit in this thread already. My impressions is that he is a very social, professional and positive guy. I’ve also talked a lot with Paul Hiley, which is a truly amazing and intelligent guy. He did some parts of the motion captures and work on a pitch code for the game, which was eventually used in the game. Of the owner at Gremlin I’ve been in touch with Barry Hatch. He is still in the gaming industry. He has been very generous with me compared to most others. He used time, even if he is a very busy guy, on both trips I did to Sheffield to meet me. Not to mention the owner Martin Holley of Runecraft, the company Julian work for. Gremlin and Runecraft work a lot together for example for these Actua ports where Julian was a contractor. He had never touch a Mac previously, but was extremely talented and mastered it quickly. He did the port in 6 months. After evaluating the port myself I’m truly impressed. Martin described Julian as the most intelligent and talented programmer he had ever worked with. 👍🏻 Sadly many of the programmers of version one left on bad terms. They were not good payed, and that probably haven’t been a very good start point for me to work on. My experience and impressions is that Ian wasn’t the easiest guy around and a true business man so to speak. 🗣️ He even holds on to the IPs today like an angry dog, and there isn’t little chance there would be any new version with the Actua Soccer name around during his lifetime. Many ex-Gremlins, like the PS1 porter Philip Rankin, works at SUMO in Sheffield to day. Those guys, without mention names, told me to keep my hands off. They don’t seem friendly at all. There is certainly a lot of mixed feelings about their old workplace. I did at one time make a history document. There is a lot you could have mentioned indeed. I am very glad and feel humbled for anyone that did accept to meet or talk to me. For me this journey will continue throughout my life. Actua shaped my childhood and the history is extremely interesting. That the programmers are very hard to get makes it probably even more interesting as you have to go to secondary sources to try to figure out things. I wish I had a big audience I could have somehow could have used as a platform to get the story told after all that research, but sadly I don’t got that. 👍🏻
Funniest football game I ever played. It was a HUGE improvement in relation to FIFA
I may have to give this game a go someday, I only ever played CMR 3 and 4 which were great games too. I recently picked up a copy of TOCA 2 for ps1 (1998) and I even though I was never really interested ps1 games as I saw them really dated, I really enjoyed the touring car theme, tracks, and detail like working windshield wipers, commentary ect.
It's a bit stupid desing because you cannot advance in the next series if you cannot qualify in top 6. And the difficulty is so hard even on intermediate for the casual player that basically you cannot continue.
