- Original Description VintageCG Aug 14, 2009:
Background visuals from the hybrid laserdisc/CG arcade game "Star Rider." This is the source footage, without the telemetry, rear-view display or game graphics overlaid. A few folks have written to ask about the soundtrack, specifically the part around 0:45 to 2:45. Kudos to viewer J4DR4N, who was able to identify this as Brian Scott Bennett's 1978 record "Voyage (a Journey Into Discoid Funk)," which unfortunately now is quite rare and expensive!
New Description Blender Bach (Retro Bach) November 18th, 2021:
I have realized today that the "Star Rider (1983)" video from VintageCG was blocked due to a copyright claim from "DeepMiningCorpAssoc" who claimed they owned it. This particular company receives hundreds of thousands of dollars by erroneously claiming they own the copyright on other people's art work. This production is fully owned by Williams Electronics, inc. and Computer Creations, inc. of South Bend, Indiana. I have reuploaded the video without any edits. It is preserved here fully as it was on VintageCG's RUclips Channel. The Original Description I have also placed above from the original upload on VintageCG's RUclips Channel. The video was called "Star Rider (1983)" on VintageCG's RUclips Channel. Even the Video Thumbnail is preserved as it was on VintageCG's RUclips Channel.
The video had 351,014 views before it was removed.
The Video had 👍5,438 - 👎64 before it was removed.
The whole thing is preserved here. Enjoy!
I remember this game, which invented the synthwave genre ahead of its time! I don't recall there being much in the way of gameplay or interactivity like with Pole Position. You would just kind of die at random. Since this "game" is basically a laserdisc rail ride, I would have been happy putting a quarter or two in the machine and just sitting back watching the complete play-through of all the trippy landscapes and music.
Synthwave cannot compare to the true power of the 1980s! :)
It's amazing this cgi is from 1983!
I know! :)
I am so happy seeing this! I never could remember the name. I loved this thing. I always felt like I was in the futurrrrre. 😄🤩🛸
love this. It has inspired me in so many ways
Thanks for uploading
No problem!
Unfortunately, the original one on VintageCG's channel got taken down by a fake company that filed a copyright claim...
If memory serves, Sinistar makes a cameo appearance somewhere in the game.
I've been looking for the song that starts at 2:49 for ages. Does anyone know what's the name? : (
I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEONE FOUND IT ON THIS COMMENT SECTION!!!! Thank you so much for reuploading this (with comments enabled, of course) :D
Same
Saw this in arcades back in the day. I guess half the reason it was always so amazingly blurry was the rear projection screen, but the other half was because the actual video on the laserdisc was well below the resolution even LD is capable of resolving.
Was is really? I though it was the normal resolution but that they projected only part of it to be able to pan the road left and right = the disc had full res but the display window showed only part of it = less display resolution
@@litjellyfish Yeah I saw another video and saw that in action. You are right. They're only showing about 60% of the frame. That puts the final resolution of the LD visuals below the VHS ballpark. But the full frame of the LD is still definitely not what it could have been. LD's potential was really quite close to DVD, and in at least one very important way (compression artifacts, obv.), it's actually better.
@@Asterra2 a lot better I would say. I remembers watching Aliens and Terminator on LD at a friends place in early 90s and then when DVD came and i saw the same on it I was hugely disappointed
@@litjellyfish Yep. Things got much better over time but this seems to be a pretty reliable curse... and it's particularly bad for any movie from the 80s because the Kodak stock in that decade sucked and was extraordinarily grainy. Even today's very best H.265 treatment simply turns randomized grain into "crawling" grain that's extremely distracting. LD would quite simply do a perfect job.
@@Asterra2 yup. Or well I mean we can just go with other non lossy compressions with same result and LD and have same good quality. And same file sizes :D
good lord this music
Track 1: Brian Bennett - Voyage
Track 2: Brian Bennett - Air Quake
Track 3: Unknown music (possibly from "New York Sound")
Track 4: Brian Bennett - Voyage
@@nostalgiabach Track 3 is James Asher - Curved Air
@@SmythTheCrow Thanks. A. LOT!!!
I on behalf of an entire community searching for this music track, thank you a lot for the find!!! :)
@@SmythTheCrow Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!
The only laserdisc game which isn't emulated is this one...Cube Quest is emulated on Mame.
Sadly, it's not emulated yet. However, I have already extracted the fonts and image sprites from the ROM chips! :)
@@nostalgiabach wow..thats nice
