I like how they have a systems check during loading and one of the items is cupholder, responding with "cupholder is a go!" XD This game had so much fun with itself and it makes it that much better of an arcade experience.
Sadly, the PS2 port doesn't have the loading screen sfx. I had to take it from the PS1 port and put it in this gameplay. The PS2 port seems lacking a lot of stuffs too.
Mr. Noob oh man you missed out the seat had motors in it and it moved had a handel bar it was pretty fun haha but im sure its easier to control on console
Not just the bowling alley, the movie theater as well. I almost missed a movie because I drew in a crowd and lost track of time. The throttle, pedals and steering wheel are so fun to use.
This was, and still is, my favorite boat racing arcade game ever! I've used to play this on the arcade machine at Mr. Gatti's, and remember putting in quarters after quarters and getting many 1st places.
My local joint had Hydro Thunder. And the operators had the ‘free race for 1st place’ option enabled. There were some days I’d only spend 50c on that game and race for an hour. Good times
Pincadia in Australia has this game at the bar, I play it every time I go there, I had hydro thunder on Nintendo 64 million years ago so much nostalgia
Yeah, you need luck with Artic Circle's shortcuts. When you're in the tunnel, you need to rock left and right to make your boat slide faster, which is really difficult.
@@purpleblunt6679 With Vector Unit developing the original arcade-prefect port of it for PC and the original Xbox alongside Offroad Thunder and Arctic Thunder.
What most people don't realize is Hydro Thunder has two sequels.... H2Overdrive(which can be played via Teknoparrot) and Hydro Thunder Hurricane(XBLA Xbox 360 game that can be emulated on PC via Xenia or played on Xbox 360). I have all three games and Hydro Thunder and Hurricane are the best and H2Overdrive is a distant second because it only has about half the content as the other two games.
They seem to have changed how the A.I. works in the MAT3 ports especially on XBox and PC. Making it more dependent on how many shortcuts you master than how fast you go overall. Could finish a race in 1:51 but end up in 3rd because I missed a few shortcuts, but then win the race in 1:57 the next run because I managed to hit enough shortcuts and secrets. Also the Xbox version breaks the loading screen dialogue. My cup holders are no longer go.
Bro this unlocked a new set of memories for me, I remember how much ptsd that damn green alien monster gave me as a kid every time I’d driver and that eye would just bulge out at me 😂
Nile Adventure has to be my favorite race course across all arcade racing games because of how much the devs seemed to have fun developing that course.
i remember playing this. could never figure out how to do the jump thing so i never got to see all of the tracks cuz i would always place 5th or smt in the apocalypse one and third in every other one. thank you. alos never knew how to do a superstart. i was like 10 at the time of playing.
HYDROOO THUUNNDERRR! Man this brings back memories. Between playing this and Dino Crisis, I could waste an entire weekend. Maybe switch to Dave Mirra BMX on the ps2 for a bit then its back to this one. What a time to be alive.
I'm here just to listen to the game, after over 20 years I just noticed the pit crew say, "8 Track Cassette Player" in the intro. Bruh, just when I thought that I couldn't love this game any more!
I played this game growing up along with tomb raider. My dad played it and then me and my sister wanted to try and she got hooked on tomb raider and I got hooked on hydro thunder
I played this and other games when I was small back then. Now, I don't remember the name of other game titles except for this one. Currently, I'm still searching for games that I have played before and I want to beat them. Thanks for watching the video btw :)
One of the only games i know for dream cast that can still hold its own weight even in 2020 this is one of these game you can relive the fun over in over i love this game.
Yeah, and the creepiest level for the sequel is the Bermuda Triangle. Imagine while you playing the game, a lot of big ships came dropping from the sky.
I remember back in like 2008 i had a ps2 with a steering wheel and a basic controller and me and my friend (we were like 7/8 then) were playing this game all the time, good old days.
In Trinidad 🇹🇹 when I went high school they distributed laptops to us. I went home one day and saw a stupid ad which I clicked and download this game. I was hooked ever since. Even though they told us we couldn't download anything other than school programs
YOOOO!! I remember playing this game on a real arcade machine when I was a little kid...I found it somehow from the xbox game pass, there is the newer version and i searched RUclips and found your video! I remember every track and I loved it so much..my dad spent a lot of money so I can play this game...I always lose to the bots :D Ty for the video man!
>Remembers playing hydro thunder as a kid. >looks up video. >Feels the nostalgia hitting me with just the music and sound effects alone. >the boat fucking **jumps** and gets the boost I never knew how to get. >?!?!?!?!? What?! Since when?!
I used to go to the arcade sometimes as a kid and this was my favorite game. Hadn't thought about it in a long time and couldn't even remember what it was called, so I typed in "speedboat racing arcade game," lol. So much nostalgia here.
It really was. Alot of games today are open world and directionless. With focus on online play. Most games now are released broken and are patched later on. This game has a beginning and a end is released perfect on launch day.
Nothing can't beat the original hydro thunder game since on my dreamcast days every weekend I play this 😊🔥🔥🔥 Hurricane is not bad but it doesn't feel like a hydro thunder game
Someone’s been practicing this game for days maybe months just to get this right and be in first place on all track with all of the boats because I’ve played this video game in the arcades , Midway’s Arcade Classics and on PlayStation one game console in the past & here it is 2022 & they don’t even have this game in The PlayStation Store for download.
there was an ice skating center in colorado that had this. I managed to get ALL the top times in lake powell, hydro speedway, and thunder park with the blowfish... before they replaced the machine with a glitchy as heck Cruis'n Exotica. out of the Thunder racing games, Hydro thunder was the best, hands down.
It's crazy we don't see these type of games today's standards with PS5/Xbox Series X is now out! Now it's all about car racing games with Forza & Grand Turismo. Where's Hydro Thunder today's gaming?
So in this video you use sega dreamcast emulator for your pc right? Or using epsxe because the graphics is pretty amazing, and what's spec on your pc? Thanks for sharing bro
Hello, sorry for the late reply. Nah, I played this on PS2 emulator. This game was included in the Midway Arcade Adventures 3. I only have a potato PC haha.
The Bonus Boats are included in this game, at least I think so. You just need to input a cheat code after setting a new top record after placing 1st on any race. Type in the initial "?PB" after finishing 1st & being on the top record, and the bonus boats, along with the other content, should be unlocked. If this doesn't work, that's strange, because my Midway Arcade Treasures 3 has the bonus boats.
Tidal blade is the best boat because it's the easiest to control. The hard boat is almost not worth it because the hard control will make you miss a lot of turbos
Yeah man. I added the in-game music. I recorded the Main Menu music from the in-game Music volume options. Same with the loading screen, I took it from PS1 loading SFX and added it in this port to get that 'nostalgia trip', If you know what I mean :)
@@t_man7259 I like PS1 because that's the only port that has 'Career Mode' and good boats handling but the graphic is horrible even if you play it on epsxe with tweak graphic settings. If you like to play the Career Mode, play it on PS1. If you just want to play the best Arcade port, that would be Dreamcast. Initially, I want to make a playthrough on the PS1 port using the Damn the Torpedoes boat but I scraped that idea since no one did a complete PS2 port playthrough on RUclips :)
Hey I forgot to request this Monday is my birthday so Monday upload joe and Dan G vs Scarface and Iceberg at dragon house if that’s alliright with you bro
I remember back then when i found this game in an emulator at the bowling alley and always spent countless time with it! It was an amazing experience! Recently i was trying to remember the name of the game and then i stepped in you're video and after that i downloaded it cracked on my computer! Nonethless, great gameplay and shortcuts! :D By the way, since you are still active, would be appreciated if you could check out my first upload about a huge and unexpected shortcut at artic circle that i did by myself! And i ask you that because we do quite similiar content! :P
I understand why you only use tidal blade, cutthroat jumps too damn high, you cant turn a corner with rad hazard without doing a full 180 and razor back just has crappy handling.
@@kamabokogonpach1ro Ah, I see. Well, if you are a master of those Hard Boats, I hope you could make a gameplay for this game. There are not many complete gameplays on RUclips for this old game sadly.
super facil con esa lancha, pero nunca te agarraste las dificiles (HARD) con esas si estaba chingon jugar, sobre todo el ultimo bote bote (lancha), pero en fin buen juego, me recordaste los buenos tiempos

i love that even THIS detail was inserted in hydro thunder hurricane
@@ShineTermitenhope they make a third soon
this is definitely one of the best racing games in history
Yeah, best boat racing ever. Hydro Thunder Hurricane is not a bad game either but I would prefer this one because I'm a retro junkie :)
Mr. Noob same, but i prefer hydro thunder 1999, over hurricane any day
No 🧢
Whatttttt🤣nah fr finna play it tonight
It would have been nice if they had a career mode or some world championship tournament.

yo i remember playing this game all the time at the bowing alley i went too cant believe i found it tysm!
Lucky for you my man to find an arcade version for this gem. I never played the actual arcade machine for this game myself.
Mr. Noob oh man you missed out the seat had motors in it and it moved had a handel bar it was pretty fun haha but im sure its easier to control on console
@@DEODUBZ Yeah, it's easier on console but it must be an experience to play this on the arcade.
Mr. Noob the arcade version is called h2overdrive, it’s insanely fun but it’s too bad arcades aren’t as prominent now as they were years ago
Not just the bowling alley, the movie theater as well. I almost missed a movie because I drew in a crowd and lost track of time. The throttle, pedals and steering wheel are so fun to use.
I can't believe all these years later I'm just learning about some of these short cuts damn!
Did you see that sweet win at the Arctic Circle!? I had no idea that shortcut was there!
@@dragons_hook yea he missed one to at the beginning there’s a short cut between the two rocks on the first turn
thank you for this amazing trip down nostalgia lane. great game and great gameplay
Ayy, no problem. Thanks for watching.
I’ve played this game so much, yet I honoustly didn’t know the slide at 18:10 existed. Learn new things about this game to this day!
I swear the graphics use to look so real to me when I use to play this
This was, and still is, my favorite boat racing arcade game ever! I've used to play this on the arcade machine at Mr. Gatti's, and remember putting in quarters after quarters and getting many 1st places.
so cheap. i spent 50euro cent for a credit back in 1997 in France
My local joint had Hydro Thunder. And the operators had the ‘free race for 1st place’ option enabled. There were some days I’d only spend 50c on that game and race for an hour. Good times
6:40 that 1st place snatch XD like a baws
Wtf. He did very well and he almost lost. I thought those were the easy levels. But I imagine the arcade version was meant to eat your coins.
@@WokeDEMOCRATShaveASPD Hydro Thunder arcade's graphics is better than this PS2 port and the Dreamcast.
I’m definitely amazed at noob you’re definitely a legend in my book playing a classic like this
This game must be in my RUclips Channel. Cannot let this classic slide haha.
Mr. Noob facts
4:10 thought he was going to spell nut
Haha Nah, it's "NUB" as in "Mr. Noob". I can't relate "Mr. Noob with "NUT".
Nut is go
4:56 Nostalgia right there. Playing the arcade version of this 20 years ago is magical!
that launch through the ice cave into the other one was perfect.
You play such old games...
Its cool.
You make it look easy!
Still one of my absolute favorite games to this day.
Pincadia in Australia has this game at the bar, I play it every time I go there, I had hydro thunder on Nintendo 64 million years ago so much nostalgia
