This game is weirdly dark and unnerving, after you crash, the game just change its atmosphere, the blue sky becomes a dark sky like a overcast, the soundtrack changes to a organ that sounds like its from a horror game, feels like that you should not have crashed your car, feels like it was a mistake
Finally i found it, i remember playing this game on some local arcade when i was a kid. And then completely forgotten about it and the only thing i remember is that i got traumatized by the screaming and the ambulance sirene in which I've still remember till this day. I've been trying to find the game and finally i found the name of the game. It such weird game yet unique , started as a fun game and it completely changes its tone after crashing.
@@stateyournameplease Burnout 3 has creepy ambient when you crash and use the after touch. After being aware of that, everything the DJ Stryker says comes off super creepy. Like he's some sadist who encourages the players to kill and get themselves killed. It really changes the vibe of the game just like this Thrill Drive does after you crash the first time.
Man the total tonal shift of the game after the first crash you do in a race is mildly unnerving. Gone is the quick paced music and bright colors, it being replaced by a horror sounding organ drone and dark muted colors as if it was going to rain.
And then Thrill Drive 3 came out and did the opposite, no crashing jumpscare and the "crash" theme sounds almost metal. I do love the "Horror racing" tone to TD1
You know how a lot of the Hot Pursuit-focused Need For Speed games changed from licensed music to serious in-house music once a Chase started? Thrill Drive did that but for it's crashes. Its a good way to set the tone.
Feels more like a PSA with extra steps, I guess the screaming jumpscare might not be appropriate for an arcade game that would most likely be played by children too, other than that the slight tone shift because now you're in limbo doesn't warrant a game being taken down to the point of extinction
@@Tony_Baloney_69420 Actually Burnout ripped off most of the elements without get plagiarism acusation, if they get inspired, they should do with they own style, not the same.
I used to play this game with dad at SM North Edsa back when the arcades were nostalgic. This, Initial D, and Maximum Tune were my favorite arcade games that I played with dad sitting on his lap.
It's funny, I remember seeing this in an arcade 20 or so years ago. I didn't catch the name of it back then, I just remembered that it reminded me of Burnout. Years went by and I could never find out what the game was called. I even started to think that it didn't exist and it was just my imagination that had made it up. And would you know it, randomly, this pops up on my RUclips front page :).
If this is Burnout’s main inspiration, it makes sense why the Burnout Series was popular in Japan. Hell the First Burnout game is pretty much a carbon copy of this game: A Time Limit based checkpoint system Directions given at every major turn Music turns Gloomy after crashing Similar car selection which also includes trucks Checkpoint/Opponent arrow indicators Cinematic crashes that effect your score Hell even the menu interface is eerily similar to Burnout’s
most bizarre of car choices we have the mustang, the american sports car and then a vauxhall corsa, a fiat barchetta and a volvo 750 estate out of nowhere
I think it was a missed opportunity everytime you crash the track stays the same but throughout every time you crash the music gets more intense the GPS lady gets more unnerving and the atmosphere turns apocalyptic and pedestrians start screaming like they are trapped in hell
This game sends a message. That people say I got this or I'm good at driving, but having a car is like having a loaded gun. Once you crash in someone, you will lose your life, or the person dies for the crash
@@theinfamousundisputeor even worse, you just go straight to jail. Yeah, there’s a reason why the police try to stop racers in street racing movies and games.
@@arcadeguy781They were definitely inspired by the crashes, but Burnout is different in terms of speed. Thrill drive just plays like every other racing game at the time.
I used to play this in the arcades here. The Bus was my favourite, because you could hit things and survive. When you crash, it really scares you as the thud + scream is really loud. You really need the steering wheel to play though, it seems like you're having real trouble driving
I've been trying to find this game FOR YEARS. I remeber seeing it in a local arcade when i was a kid and getting absolutely scared for the music and the screams. Completely forgot it and then it came back to my head years ago and finally found it. Funny to see other people in the comments with the same story. Such a weird dark game but now as an adult looks kinda fun and not terrifying hahahahah
I'm guessing the player dies in the first crash and now they're lying in the ER their brain stuck in a loop replaying in their head the race with variations
Yu-gi-Oh forbidden memories also had an incredibly creepy and awesome tone. The music was super dark and creepy and 3D monster models were straight up out of a nightmare. The whole atmosphere was dark and scary it was so awesome.
@Emu Gamer tell me please what exactly to download to be able to play this game. Tell me also that it's not needed to go out crazy about setting things up to play it.
Very cool, I went to test here today but the game has a problem on the screen, I even tried to see if there was something in the settings of the game itself. showing two screens, player 1 and player 2 at the same time ^^
I kind of wish burnout did the thing where the weather gets worse the more you crash. The music change is a bit annoying as you spend so much time with one note droning. (Works great first time you hear it. Not so much when its the whole game). The scream is a bit cheesy and the overlay “aaahh” face a bit much. Maybe a leas stock sounding scream and more variety to multiple more real sounding ones.
I always felt like they had the 1 crash and the 5 crash songs backward. The haunting drone should be the "you really messed up" song, while the mild panic "dun dun dun" jaws thing should be after 1 or 2.
Damn I've been playing the OG Burnout for over 20 years and I just now realized just how big of a rip-off it is of this game. I still enjoy the first Burnout, but I really want to try this game now. I'm so glad the Burnout series started getting its own identity with Burnout 2 onwards.
If you think the 3rd one lost the fear factor then stay away from the often forgotten 4th one. They "rebooted" it to a true Arcade Racing Game with power-ups, forgetting what separated Thrill Drive to the rest.

You should play the burnout series (they were inspired by this game, all the traumatizing is replaced with action fun mostly)

I'll say, it's as if you've gone from playing Burnout, to playing Twisted metal Black.
Game turned from a normal racing game to Twisted Metal Black real quick.
Lmao fax
Imagine, just by crashing.
I've never actually gotten around to noticing the police doors open at 2:35 before. Didn't think there was that much detail.
but also your car clips right through the police car. :)
The police gets out to close the scene but then gets absolutely destroyed by your car. Seems about right
Japan is the master of making scary things God-tier
Really ever try puppet combo
These are things that happen in reality, they just wanted to convey that an accident is fatal and not as simple as in games

If you look closely at 12:28, you can see the driver thumped out of the windshield and a model of a police coming out of the car.
There's blood as well.

feels like a light creepypasta, but no, its a real game made by konami.
A haunted Thrill Drive cabinet sounds like a good story to me
A series of real games.
Not only that looks like a .exe game
Is it creepy pasta if it’s real
Burnout 1 creepypasta

Same
Opel Corsa
Ford Mustang Cobra R
Lexus LS400
Fiat Barchetta
Volvo 850
Such an iconic line-up.
In this game's case, Toyota Celsior.
The most cars ever
V70 not 850
@@nyctereute9118 I should've known it's the V70. 850 is very similar.
How did they get the rights to these cars? Usually games that deal dark tones can’t get rights to cars (eg Burnout)
Went from a friendly race to a race to the death real quick.

I just bought the arcade version. So happy ! it looks totally crazy :)
I remember playing this as a kid and after watching Lazy Masquerade's video the memories have come flooding back to me.
Ah, yes. Burnout 0.
The dad of all the burnout games
most bizarre of car choices
we have the mustang, the american sports car
and then a vauxhall corsa, a fiat barchetta and a volvo 750 estate out of nowhere
And a lexus.
The 2nd game adds an R34
And a truck. The third game also has a giant rubber ducky and a crane
feels like they tried to get the cars that get into the most of accidents
Now I see where Burnout got it's horrific elements from.
That Thrill Drive reminds me of Clock Tower

My childhood arcade game
Weird how the game start to be very dramatic after crash.
It's a horror game after all
0:18 *casually proceeds to run over a pedestrian*
How did they manage to license real life cars in this kind of game lol
You don't see the names or logos so there's no licensing
I guess they were more lenient back then. Just like need for speed the cars really didn’t get wrecked or used like in GTA.
How am i just now learning about this 😮
Can you please make a video showing how to setup MAME to play this game?
Did you hear that? It's sounds like GTI CLUB Supermini Festa! Sound effects
And both of those games are developed by Konami, BTW
this plays like a creepypasta game
I'm using the mame version that you have in the description yet I'm still getting an insane amount of audio stutters.
I can't use direct3D because for some reason no matter what I do I always get "Unable to create the Direct3D device (8876086C)"
No wonder why the Impact Time ambience tracks in Burnout 3 were so disturbing to hear
I'm guessing the player dies in the first crash and now they're lying in the ER their brain stuck in a loop replaying in their head the race with variations
Talk about dramatic. The yelling that is. Fun game
A reason I like Konami other than because of Yu-Gi-Oh
Yu-gi-Oh forbidden memories also had an incredibly creepy and awesome tone. The music was super dark and creepy and 3D monster models were straight up out of a nightmare. The whole atmosphere was dark and scary it was so awesome.
Hey how did i find Thrill Drive Course in real life?
6:33 This is the River City/Midnight Run/Sunset River corner that Criterion copied for Burnout 1.
Wouldve been even creepier if they would make you play as the CPU cars whenever you crash
I wish they'd make more games like this, a cross between Need for Speed and Red Asphalt.
I don't think this is such a good game to play in public.
Ageeed
This looks like Burnout Game I've play but this going to hell when you crash make Scream of Fear.
That was Cool Haunt Racing Game I Wanna Play That.

And if someone actually does it, I hope it has gore and R18 elements to actually teach a lesson on reckless driving
@@rosaria8384 Something like Carmageddon, right?

What arcade hardware was this on?
What if Thrill Drive arcade series gets both vrc world and vrc car avatars with sounds and animations?
