strydom666 I Love he jumps into the ambulance and the paramedics let him ride all the way to the ER-he follows him inside. In the ending where the medic and driver are receiving medals the boy is there again...with his dog. 🙂
They will never make games like this anymore... Even with almost no content story-wise, this kind of games get you excited every second you play them and will keep in our memories for the rest of our lives (mainly in the amount of money they took from us LOL).
Sega made some of the best arcade games of all the time. Sadly many of these games are locked behind expired licenses, like Daytona USA and OutRun games.
The music is so intense that it makes you feel like you really are driving an ambulance, and delivering a patient that could possibly die if you screw up.
I love Jack’s Dalmatian. He first pulls Jack from the car, the paramedics allow him to ride in the 🚑 knowing he’d not leave Jack’s side, and he is shown running into the ER with them. He is present, along with Jack, as the award is presented to the EMS crew.
This EMT simulator/game for the arcades looks like fun! It reminds me of "Matchbox: Emergency Patrol" and the ambulance undercover missions in Paris in "Midtown Madness 3." I never played this arcade game, and I wish they released it for the PC and some video game consoles, like the Sega Dreamcast, Sony PlayStation 2 and the Nintendo GameCube (just like another SEGA arcade game called "18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker," which I used to play at Chuck E. Cheese's many years ago, but sadly, it was never released for the PC, so I have the North American NTSC PlayStation 2 version instead). Great job on this walkthrough!
This used to be in an arcade cabinet in the back of a local pizzeria I used to live by. They removed it at some point before 2010, I think. 'Tis a shame.
I only saw the cabinet a couple of times in 2005, but the whole idea of mixing a sense of urgency and being mega careful was a bit nerve wracking unlike Konami's Code One Dispatch which didn't penalize you for crashing onto things.
Conversus Vans there are not so much gameplay of Code One Dispatch there are only 5 missions uploaded on youtube alongside of the attract mode. Emergency mayhem and Emergency heroes were just two lazy knock-off's, they tried to be like Code One Dispatch but can't Could you upload some videos of Code one dispatch?
Anyone feel a tear when Jack says he needs help and his dog pulls him to safety (avoid 🚗 with ⛽️ 🔥)? The 🚑 crew arrives and Jack’s dog jumps inside with him and rides all the way to the ER.
I can think of plenty of games in 1999 that had facial animations in high polygon models.....even Nintendo 64 games could do it. Check out NBA Courtside 2 for N64.
I don't think the president is Bill Clinton even though this game was made back in the 90's. I think he's from Japan, and he's probably a fictional guy. Call me crazy, but if the American president's plane crashed into Lake Michigan they wouldn't say he's from "a certain country". Lol
Johnny Cage Thats a first! Im impressed... I know that the Dreamcast can display 60fps but some loss of environment detail. But there is a cheat to activate it.
It's not the framerate or details that bothered me - I don't like the gameplay and the physics of Sega Rally 2, that are the important parts of a racing game.
Johnny Cage Well it is different from the first one... But I have to say the physics are a bit questionable. At least from what I played. It requires to use the break more than quickly switching the gears from 4,1,4 - 3,1,3 while managing your trottle control.
This was a great game. I finally found a local arcade in LA the other day that has an old Japanese cabinet for this game. I remember really wanting a Dreamcast version of this. Great game!
I'm testing all arcade games from 1980's to 2002 that I possibly can, and I just came across this game, the emulation is very crappy, but I never had the chance to see an actual arcade of this one, I don't think this was a very popular game, but sure looks incredible, and the game play is quite amusing, I will continue on my scavenger hunt now.
I don't think that anyone has done such in depth reasearch into one single game. I remember a few years ago, Magnus and I cracked the game to pieces finding out anything and everything about the game's score and bonus system, as well as setting the world hiscore record. Actually Magnus did most of the hard work.
***** I noticed how fantastic the players were, one of the worse things in a game play review to me is a unskilled player getting around in a game, some cases it can be painful to watch, in all game play videos it must have a nice to fantastic playing experience, to enrich the video, and I gotta say this game looks a lot more interesting from your video than others I saw.
Fer Cyccone What "players"? You're not really into videgames, are you? No worries. Just watch the video again and you will get the hang of it. You're an ambulance driver trying to drive your patient to the E.R. avoiding obstacles.

Damn why did sega stop man. The last good arcade game they had with a story was The house of the dead and overkill was different from the originals. But games like these is what made arcades fun. I remember this one, the firefighters, and The house of the dead would be the ones I'd drain my quarters on as a kid. Now with all this new technology and advancement they seem to have stopped caring. I though The House Of The Dead wasn't dead yet according to leaks of a sequel, but that was 5 years ago. Sadly gone but good times.
HOTD is not dead, it will never be as long as people like you and me remember it and continue to celebrate it. RUclips is full of it so I am certain that the old SEGA classics will live forever, at least through other games they set the standard for. The hardware may die, but the software lives on, now more than ever by emulation and spreading from generation to generation. However the arcade, as we know it, sadly is dead.
I like how the random-country president invited three groups of people you happened to save as well even though he had no obligation to find out who they were. What a stand-up guy.
i had fun playing this game in distant past, but not made into final one. its arcade level of cheesy, and its fun to watch. i cant really imagine, a mafia used rpg inside parking lot basement and police react, "wow" when the rpg shot infront of his face. random, crashed, and exploding vehicle all over the streets, not to mention lightning strike that destroy army vehicles., plane crashing in horrible degree but totally okay and no.big splash and explosion (consider the sea looks not deep at all). and lastly, they all survived from said accidents (tho, miracle exist). iknow i shouldnt point these pointless things, but thats what makes me remember the game.
i'm surprised that this game was made in 1999, where other arcades beside model 3 were nothing on technical hardware. sega (or am department) made a quite surprising piece of technology back in the day. of course, in these days, those great graphics are not a great thing, but looking at the past 90's, it was AMAZING as they actually tried their best to make great hardware that surpass home console itself. how on earth they managed to do that? is a shame, really. sega now don't do much on arcade, or all of gaming industry actually more focused on VR, or just a home console and pc. need more something like racing games, light gun, and motion for arcade. it's better to experience more realistic on arcade then buy those driving controls or light gun for consoles or even worse using just a controller. well, i hope i can experience the thrill of playing arcade games, because in my country, in my places, 60% of arcade games that i played are working almost prefectly, while the others... you know, lack of working some hardwares and sometimes even completely unplayable normally. and not much of arcade games (besides wangan midnit, pump it up, mai mai, new games, and some games that used cards as core of gameplay (animal kaiser and some others)), but on the other hand, i found old arcade games that worked perfectly, like virtua fighter on super megalo 2. if i can, i'll try to find more arcade places. altho, it will be quite a difficult task... oh yea, btw, i like your game analysis page about this game. seems like some people do care about arcade games.
The Model 3 hardware was the most expensive hardware in the arcades at the time. A CGI company, Martin Marietta, bought SEGA at one time in the 90's and they developed 3D hardware with some impressive texturing. Also remember that this was at the beginning of 3D accelerators / 3D-chips for PC at the time, SEGA always utilized the latest microprocessor technology and this was no exception. What is your country?
I played this once a few years ago in a movie theater arcade. I'm not normally interested in "racing" games but I have an unusual fondness for hospital/medical games. Sadly, I ran out of time and quarters just when I was maybe 10 feet from getting the little boy to the hospital. T^T
Also, what would give me great satisfaction would be if you'd please have a careful look at the video, and my driving, and then give me some kind of review. Are there any restrictions in real life ambulance driving? Like, you are allowed to take any route possible when on dispatch. You can pass red lights, cut across pavements,.. stuff like that?
Yo he jugado bastantes veces con éste simulador de ambulancias, pero al mismo tiempo me da un poco de nostalgia, pues también he estado en ocasiones como pasajero en las ambulancias, camino al hospital. Una de las tantas veces en que he estado a bordo de una ambulancia y camino a un centro médico asistencial fue el día sábado 15/12/2001, cuando apenas tenía dieciséis años de edad. Íbamos mi novia de esa época, Alicia Ortiz, y yo, con el carro de su mamá, una camioneta Toyota Land Cruiser Burbuja VX 4500 de color azul marino, a casa de mi amigo Alberto Martínez, que vivía en la urbanización Colinas de Bello Monte, en una lujosa residencia ubicada en la calle Casiquiare, porque era su fiesta de cumpleaños, y de repente sufrimos un terrible accidente de tránsito en el cruce de la avenida Caurimare, cuando un camión Ford 350 de color blanco nos chocó de costado y ambos, mi novia y yo, resultamos heridos porque nos golpeamos la cabeza. Al momento de producirse el accidente comenzó a llover intensamente y el conductor de aquél camión se asomó para ver si todavía estábamos vivos, y algunos vecinos de la urbanización de Colinas de Bello Monte se acercaron cautelosos. Al instante se escucharon sirenas de ambulancias y vehículos policiales, en medio de un pertinaz aguacero que caía sobre Caracas.
used to play this game back when i lived in japan about 15 years ago. loved it! wish you could get it as a download on one of the current consoles now.
+Richard Whitfield Yes, I agree. This game is far too good to be left for pleasant memories only. It is emulated though I think on the Supermodel3 emulator. But there's no official release by SEGA other than the original model3 hardware. Funny thing about this game is that we kind of know it was made by AM1 with Rikya Nakagawa as head of staff back in the days, but there's no credits or any information about who was involved. There are no end credits text other than "Thank you for playing - SEGA", which I find very, very strange. Someone in Japan should find Mr Nakagawa and make an interview.
+Tomas Dahlgren It would have been a perfect release on the dreamcast along with the likes of crazytaxi and 18 Wheeler. Sega had lots of other arcade games that would also have been great on dreamcast- scud race etc.
Richard Whitfield Yes, well any old model2 and model3 game would have made a nice Dreamcast title, I think. Scud Race is another fine game I have, infact it was my first model3 game.
I played this once, at a suburban movie theater outside of Detroit, Michigan in 2007. I was 10 and distinctly remember using one foot for the gas and the other foot for the brake
Congratulations on beating the game, you did nice even on the last stage having 1 second leff + i know you played this on the original hardware, i readed the video description
I've thought a lot about this game lately. I've thought about what cases would be interesting, what new routes would look like, music, etc. My dream is to help create a remastered version of this game. I've loved this game since I was 10 years old. I would add 4 cases to the game -- excluding bonus tracks. I was thinking there should be bonus tracks in more rural areas, where different types of disasters can occur.
Good idea. But why not just make this game like Crazy Taxi then, with lots of various "cases" on different routes, that vary in difficulty depending on your score and skill. You could play the complete map of Chicago, these days memory is not a problem, the map could be very large. Also you could select one of several vehicles differenty equipped and sized for various driving modes. Basically a mission-based driving game, like Crazy Taxi that started it all, but here in a emergency vehicle theme.
@@uncletom1971 If I were to have it my way, I would add "save points" so you would not have to start at the first case. The longer maps would also be a good idea, they could range from 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Some of the cases I think would be cool would be: Construction Accident(Inspired by the Spiderman 3 scene with the crane), Suicidal Jumper, Terrorist Attack, Bank Robbery. If I can help make this happen I would be elated. I had one idea where you have to drive through a bunch of alleyways and also a graveyard -- to make it a bit dark. I lived near Chicago, so I have a lot of ideas for maps and routes. Different hospitals would also be cool.
@@dangerpowers4582 You should really learn to program. Then learn some C-sharp or whatever they use these days to create games. You obviously have good ideas for a sequel of this game.
Wow back in the days where I actually collected quarters and went to the arcade every weekend . I only passed the first level ! Then they closed down the arcade :(
This city has THE most bad luck. Gang members armed with Rocket Launchers, accidents happening around every corner, and lighting that’s destroying property!
I love this game! I only discovered it a couple years ago on the Model 3 emulator. This would have made an excellent Dreamcast game if they added more missions. Great job on the last mission! I have played this game many many times and while I've beaten the final stage several times it still gives me trouble. There is no room for even 1 mistake. When I first played this I used Automatic Transmission. Correct me if I'm wrong but the last level seems impossible to complete with Automatic due to the lower top speed.
Well, as you say there's not room for one misstake. I've completed the game driving manual and auto. Then again I've had this game 20 years, must have played it at least several hundreds of times. On easy setting it still takes alot of practice to complete Case#4, with a 0, 1 or 2 "health" left on the counter.
@@uncletom1971 I've probably played it at least 100 times since I found out it was able to be emulated. I was really really into it when I first starting playing it. I'm pretty good at it now but the one thing I always have a problem with is jumping the bridge. I see in your video you slow down so you don't actually ramp. Sometimes I can hit the bridge full speed and land without losing any health or speed. Most times though it takes a small amount of health and kills the speed quite a bit. There has to be some trick to being able to land right but I haven't figured it out.
Actually that is the thing, you need to go slower on some sections or your patient will get punished. Remember those bonuses at the end of each case? They're only awarded for implementing each aspect of skilled driving to a 100%. So even if your patient doesn't lose any health, or your ambulance doesn't lose speed, if you still land hard enough after a jump to make the patient monitor go red for a split second, you won't get the 'Stable' bonus. Even if you get the 'Brave' bonus.
This game looks amazing, I don't remember it but the music is great, the graphics have a dreamcast charm to them as well. Really hope this gets a digital release.
Game came out in 1999, about the same time as Dreamcast did. There're not many ways to portray scenery with the amount of polygons and texture memory provided, which is why it looks similar to other SEGA hardware. And yes, still today it is an awesome game.
Tomas Dahlgren in the uk from what i gathered, just about ever video game arcade has closed down. but in japan, places like taito hey in akihabara japan and club sega are as strong as ever.. ruclips.net/video/JV-gklNS2-w/видео.html
For added gameplay, I always thought this game should have the player driving to the scene of the accident within a specific time limit and then leave for the hospital.
Yes, that would certainly make a good addition to the gameplay. Even better if the "cases"/missions appeared on a random position in the map/world letting AI decide case type and difficulty according to the player's skill. Also I'd like there to be variable missions presenting several different incidents, at least 10-15 types. Still, I love this game though it is simple, I dare not hope for a similar game to come in the near future. SEGA did games back when everybody was pioneering the technology, the games made then were one of its kind in that state of art. Sadly these days as technology no longer is a limit, intellect has declined - who wants to drive an ambulance when you can save the world with guns and superpowers.
Ah Chicago, back when we had money to pay for roadwork...I miss the old days. Also I know our weather is crazy, but damn. We had one hot summer when a cow burnt down our whole state and that's all y'all remember...smh but yes we do drive like that...that bit's accurate.
"Pets friendly hospital": Dog wouldn't let him out of his sight, he owed him a cookie. "Why so happy?": In deed, why so happy. My guess is that it's some kind of inside humor at SEGA. The have other hidden 'easters', just look closer at the ambulance red flashers, see the faces?
This looks fun, but the theme is just kinda disturbing, the fact that you see the patient in the top right constantly. I'd definably prefer Crazy Taxi over this.
Well the point of monitoring the patient, and his/hers heart rate, constantly is to give you a measure of how you drive. Take a curve too steep / fast and you'll see the patients agony. Drive in a controlled yet smooth pace and recieve bonuses.
About Crazy Taxi, it is a completely different game regardless of how similar the scenery looks to ECA. I've ofter heard people refer to the looks as "Crazy Taxi like", but the fact is there's not simpler way of defining buildings and city environments using 3D graphics. SEGA did a very good job with this simplistic yet perfectly sufficient modelling style. In Crazy Taxi you pick up customers to drive them to a certain spot on the large map. In ECA you get four linear missions of driving the patient to hospital through an obstacle course of varying difficulty. Yes there are shortcuts and fun stuff along the way to discover, but the game is linear. And the difference in driving techniques are also very different. So even though these games look the same, never ever confuse or compare them.
@ Tomas yes this game is great their is so much more than what the game covers after the patient is in the back of the ambulance we do put them on oxygen and then we become medical detectives and ask questions relating to why we were called out and yes I do ride in the back of an ambulance
No kidding, Steve? Please then tell me a little bit more about it. I'd be thrilled to get some IRL advice from some one like you. Regarding the driving, any specifics about how to take the turns? Braking, accelerating .. I understand that you need to really keep in mind the patient. What training does this job take? And is it a good job?

I love how the Dalmatian pulls the boy from the wrecked car.
strydom666 I Love he jumps into the ambulance and the paramedics let him ride all the way to the ER-he follows him inside.
In the ending where the medic and driver are receiving medals the boy is there again...with his dog. 🙂
2:06 Da fuck? The dog... did the dog just talked?...
Yeah I just think having a dog pull a human by the neck/shoulder isn't exactly helping in that situation ^^
What I am wondering is exactly how the dog survived an impact such as that....
@@Tigerman1138 The dog in this game redefined the term, "Man's Best Friend". 😃☺
Police man getting blown up by an RPG
"WOW!"
Love it.
He's like "YOOOOOO, these crooks have RPGs!"
Dude's thinking "damn I need to quit the force and start doing some crime, that shit's cool"
They will never make games like this anymore... Even with almost no content story-wise, this kind of games get you excited every second you play them and will keep in our memories for the rest of our lives (mainly in the amount of money they took from us LOL).
I so agree.

Like say BRAVE FIRE FIGHTERS
It's pretty cool how in the ending the pregnant lady you saved now has triplets. So it's like you saved four lives on that night! :D
Now that you mention it .. oh my god. Isn't that too much? Kind of cheesy, isn't it? I mean, twins OK, but tripplets!? That's just over the top.
***** It could happen. Anyway it's not like she had octuplets or anything, lol
That’s the idea! ☺️
funny how the player can drive on the sidewalk, risking everyone walking around to save a single patient
I've seen emergency vehicles cut across pavements to get past dence traffic. Not a problem unless ofcourse there are pedestrians.
GTA logic
GTA IA simulator
y'know, what I like way more is that while you're driving whole town has car crashes all around you. Like it's some kind of apocalypse.
@@Pirojok92 It's black Friday
This game used to be at my local coin laundromat. The funny thing was, the coin laundry was oddly close to an ambulance and firetruck station
The music is so intense that it makes you feel like you really are driving an ambulance, and delivering a patient that could possibly die if you screw up.
Yes, in deed the music is very immersive.
If that woman has been pregnant for 40 weeks, that means she's been pregnant for TEN months!!!
Yes well, videogames.
Human pregnancy length is just an estimate, dude. Some women have longer pregnancies than others.
A month has a bit more than 4 weeks, so it's just a bit over 9 months
Are you telling the EMT's how to do their job?
Kevin Palacios The longest pregnancy ever recorded was 375 days so basically a year (Seriously look it up)
I love Jack’s Dalmatian. He first pulls Jack from the car, the paramedics allow him to ride in the 🚑 knowing he’d not leave Jack’s side, and he is shown running into the ER with them.
He is present, along with Jack, as the award is presented to the EMS crew.
That last mission was always so damn hard for me as a kid. I could never beat it. I didn't think you'd have to thread the needle like that though.

The 🚑 crew arrives and Jack’s dog jumps inside with him and rides all the way to the ER.
Please understand that the game is from the time before facial animation.
Which is funny, because Sonic Adventure came out in the same year, and we know how facial animations were in that game...
Container Vs Car
Ummm how do you get secret ranking?
+ThePikachuFan99 and same for Shenmue, which also released in '99 in Japan.
I can think of plenty of games in 1999 that had facial animations in high polygon models.....even Nintendo 64 games could do it. Check out NBA Courtside 2 for N64.
This game along with brave firefighters was originally going to be on the Dreamcast but sadly they got cancelled.
Just realised the hospital at the end is called Lakeside General, must be a nod to sega rally
Good point. I would bet it is.
I love how the whole town goes completely apeshit when the president is coincidentally on the point of no return
I don't think the president is Bill Clinton even though this game was made back in the 90's. I think he's from Japan, and he's probably a fictional guy. Call me crazy, but if the American president's plane crashed into Lake Michigan they wouldn't say he's from "a certain country". Lol
He probably is. This was made at around the same time as Midway`s Cruis`n series, and they showed Clinton in a hot tub at the end of each game.
His name sounds slavic though and he looks like a white man, so yeah.
I remember playing this in arcades! Such an amazing game
I hardly remember what I did last night. But it is a great game, yes. Thanks.
There's a cabinet of this game in the background of the film "running scared" during the scene where the pedos get killed
Thanks. I'll have a look.
+Tomas Dahlgren Come to think of it, that's where I discovered this game, and I haven't seen that film in years.
Yup! There it is approximately after 1:03:42, togeather with SNK's Roads Edge.
+Tomas Dahlgren I was wondering what that other one was, thanks!
i played every mourning when i was in tokyo
Back in those days I always hoped for a Dreamcast port of this (and L.A. Riders) - unfortunately SEGA only ported Crazy Taxi and F355 Challenge
Dont forget Seag Rally 2 but that was a disappointment port...

i'm surprised that this game was made in 1999, where other arcades beside model 3 were nothing on technical hardware. sega (or am department) made a quite surprising piece of technology back in the day. of course, in these days, those great graphics are not a great thing, but looking at the past 90's, it was AMAZING as they actually tried their best to make great hardware that surpass home console itself. how on earth they managed to do that?
is a shame, really. sega now don't do much on arcade, or all of gaming industry actually more focused on VR, or just a home console and pc. need more something like racing games, light gun, and motion for arcade. it's better to experience more realistic on arcade then buy those driving controls or light gun for consoles or even worse using just a controller.
well, i hope i can experience the thrill of playing arcade games, because in my country, in my places, 60% of arcade games that i played are working almost prefectly, while the others... you know, lack of working some hardwares and sometimes even completely unplayable normally. and not much of arcade games (besides wangan midnit, pump it up, mai mai, new games, and some games that used cards as core of gameplay (animal kaiser and some others)), but on the other hand, i found old arcade games that worked perfectly, like virtua fighter on super megalo 2.
if i can, i'll try to find more arcade places. altho, it will be quite a difficult task...
oh yea, btw, i like your game analysis page about this game. seems like some people do care about arcade games.
The Model 3 hardware was the most expensive hardware in the arcades at the time. A CGI company, Martin Marietta, bought SEGA at one time in the 90's and they developed 3D hardware with some impressive texturing. Also remember that this was at the beginning of 3D accelerators / 3D-chips for PC at the time, SEGA always utilized the latest microprocessor technology and this was no exception.
What is your country?
I played this once a few years ago in a movie theater arcade. I'm not normally interested in "racing" games but I have an unusual fondness for hospital/medical games. Sadly, I ran out of time and quarters just when I was maybe 10 feet from getting the little boy to the hospital. T^T
oh brother're a real expert arcade games, you do not know how long I searched that game thank you very much
Also, what would give me great satisfaction would be if you'd please have a careful look at the video, and my driving, and then give me some kind of review.
Are there any restrictions in real life ambulance driving? Like, you are allowed to take any route possible when on dispatch. You can pass red lights, cut across pavements,.. stuff like that?
I played this video game at the arcade. The first time I played this, the patient flatlined on me 😢
I damn near pissed myself with laughter at the happy ending!
That Final Case Timer was so crazy!!! If you did not have a good control of the vehicle, that one understeer or oversteer would cause Time's Up
6:19 This is why you don't fly planes in a thunderstorm.
Yo he jugado bastantes veces con éste simulador de ambulancias, pero al mismo tiempo me da un poco de nostalgia, pues también he estado en ocasiones como pasajero en las ambulancias, camino al hospital. Una de las tantas veces en que he estado a bordo de una ambulancia y camino a un centro médico asistencial fue el día sábado 15/12/2001, cuando apenas tenía dieciséis años de edad. Íbamos mi novia de esa época, Alicia Ortiz, y yo, con el carro de su mamá, una camioneta Toyota Land Cruiser Burbuja VX 4500 de color azul marino, a casa de mi amigo Alberto Martínez, que vivía en la urbanización Colinas de Bello Monte, en una lujosa residencia ubicada en la calle Casiquiare, porque era su fiesta de cumpleaños, y de repente sufrimos un terrible accidente de tránsito en el cruce de la avenida Caurimare, cuando un camión Ford 350 de color blanco nos chocó de costado y ambos, mi novia y yo, resultamos heridos porque nos golpeamos la cabeza. Al momento de producirse el accidente comenzó a llover intensamente y el conductor de aquél camión se asomó para ver si todavía estábamos vivos, y algunos vecinos de la urbanización de Colinas de Bello Monte se acercaron cautelosos. Al instante se escucharon sirenas de ambulancias y vehículos policiales, en medio de un pertinaz aguacero que caía sobre Caracas.
Yeah man, me too. 👍
hooked on this game have a gaming pc with the model 3 installed. epic stuff.
You have a steering wheel connected? And a gear shifter?
I know this game was at the old GattiTown in Greenville, SC. There was two ECA cabs over there, I think. I unfortunately never played it there. :\
Be like president Gregorio Tavaresky...your airplane falling, everything around you going worse and worse, but you never stop smiling
used to play this game back when i lived in japan about 15 years ago. loved it! wish you could get it as a download on one of the current consoles now.
+Richard Whitfield Yes, I agree. This game is far too good to be left for pleasant memories only. It is emulated though I think on the Supermodel3 emulator. But there's no official release by SEGA other than the original model3 hardware. Funny thing about this game is that we kind of know it was made by AM1 with Rikya Nakagawa as head of staff back in the days, but there's no credits or any information about who was involved. There are no end credits text other than "Thank you for playing - SEGA", which I find very, very strange. Someone in Japan should find Mr Nakagawa and make an interview.
+Tomas Dahlgren It would have been a perfect release on the dreamcast along with the likes of crazytaxi and 18 Wheeler. Sega had lots of other arcade games that would also have been great on dreamcast- scud race etc.
Richard Whitfield
Yes, well any old model2 and model3 game would have made a nice Dreamcast title, I think. Scud Race is another fine game I have, infact it was my first model3 game.
I forgot how crazy this game was, it was up here with Crazy Taxi lol Good job & thanks for the video
Yes, well it is one of SEGA's more innovative games over the years. Clearly one of its kind when it comes to originality.
Lol, the president is still smiling even when his plane is about to crash.
I played this once, at a suburban movie theater outside of Detroit, Michigan in 2007. I was 10 and distinctly remember using one foot for the gas and the other foot for the brake
No Wal-Mart was complete without this.
Congratulations on beating the game, you did nice even on the last stage having 1 second leff
+ i know you played this on the original hardware, i readed the video description
Thanks Hexley. Well, it takes a bit of practice. That's all really.
I'd love to see a remastered version with more cases. I could die happy, if that happened. That would likely never happen, unfortunately.
この救急車運転がうまいな。
僕も運転がうまくなってこのゲームクリアしたいな。
That ending, gets me every time! :,)
Me too.
This should've been a dreamcast game sadly it wasn't miss this game
Holy crap, the ambulance and oil truck drivers in this city are CRAZY!
I remember playing this game at an arcade at a mall in 2006. I stunk at it since I kept killing the first case (the kid in the car accident).
6:17 President Smiling to the brink of death 😂
Ofcourse! Not every president has the privilege of being in a SEGA game! Lucky bastard, I'd say!
That president almost died a happy man, now he is gonna live the rest of his life as one.
I've thought a lot about this game lately.
I've thought about what cases would be interesting, what new routes would look like, music, etc. My dream is to help create a remastered version of this game. I've loved this game since I was 10 years old. I would add 4 cases to the game -- excluding bonus tracks. I was thinking there should be bonus tracks in more rural areas, where different types of disasters can occur.
Good idea. But why not just make this game like Crazy Taxi then, with lots of various "cases" on different routes, that vary in difficulty depending on your score and skill. You could play the complete map of Chicago, these days memory is not a problem, the map could be very large. Also you could select one of several vehicles differenty equipped and sized for various driving modes. Basically a mission-based driving game, like Crazy Taxi that started it all, but here in a emergency vehicle theme.
@@uncletom1971 If I were to have it my way, I would add "save points" so you would not have to start at the first case.
The longer maps would also be a good idea, they could range from 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Some of the cases I think would be cool would be: Construction Accident(Inspired by the Spiderman 3 scene with the crane), Suicidal Jumper, Terrorist Attack, Bank Robbery. If I can help make this happen I would be elated.
I had one idea where you have to drive through a bunch of alleyways and also a graveyard -- to make it a bit dark. I lived near Chicago, so I have a lot of ideas for maps and routes. Different hospitals would also be cool.
@@dangerpowers4582 You should really learn to program. Then learn some C-sharp or whatever they use these days to create games. You obviously have good ideas for a sequel of this game.
@@uncletom1971I'll give it a try. Thanks for the upload as well as the suggestion.
If we fail the second stage at least we have robocop
Wow back in the days where I actually collected quarters and went to the arcade every weekend . I only passed the first level ! Then they closed down the arcade :(
That is why we buy the arcade game to play at home.
Tomas Dahlgren it is not like they sell every arcade game online. Somebody did however created a galaxian 3 theatre In their house so there is hope!
Yes well, you need to look for it. These days it is getting rare.
Oh, and I almost forgot... you drive like a young god.
This city has THE most bad luck. Gang members armed with Rocket Launchers, accidents happening around every corner, and lighting that’s destroying property!
Yes. It's Badville concentrated.
This would been a good selling game if it was on the dreamcast
I love this game! I only discovered it a couple years ago on the Model 3 emulator. This would have made an excellent Dreamcast game if they added more missions. Great job on the last mission! I have played this game many many times and while I've beaten the final stage several times it still gives me trouble. There is no room for even 1 mistake. When I first played this I used Automatic Transmission. Correct me if I'm wrong but the last level seems impossible to complete with Automatic due to the lower top speed.
Well, as you say there's not room for one misstake. I've completed the game driving manual and auto. Then again I've had this game 20 years, must have played it at least several hundreds of times. On easy setting it still takes alot of practice to complete Case#4, with a 0, 1 or 2 "health" left on the counter.
@@uncletom1971 I've probably played it at least 100 times since I found out it was able to be emulated. I was really really into it when I first starting playing it. I'm pretty good at it now but the one thing I always have a problem with is jumping the bridge. I see in your video you slow down so you don't actually ramp. Sometimes I can hit the bridge full speed and land without losing any health or speed. Most times though it takes a small amount of health and kills the speed quite a bit. There has to be some trick to being able to land right but I haven't figured it out.
Actually that is the thing, you need to go slower on some sections or your patient will get punished. Remember those bonuses at the end of each case? They're only awarded for implementing each aspect of skilled driving to a 100%. So even if your patient doesn't lose any health, or your ambulance doesn't lose speed, if you still land hard enough after a jump to make the patient monitor go red for a split second, you won't get the 'Stable' bonus. Even if you get the 'Brave' bonus.
This game looks amazing, I don't remember it but the music is great, the graphics have a dreamcast charm to them as well. Really hope this gets a digital release.
Game came out in 1999, about the same time as Dreamcast did. There're not many ways to portray scenery with the amount of polygons and texture memory provided, which is why it looks similar to other SEGA hardware. And yes, still today it is an awesome game.
I agree, I love the style, it aged well in my opinion
If sega made a Pizza Delivery boy game, they made sure you are a damn good pizza delivery boy.
god damm it, i miss having arcades!!! japan is the only place that has maintained the arcade culture!!!
Have they really, in what way?
Tomas Dahlgren in the uk from what i gathered, just about ever video game arcade has closed down. but in japan, places like taito hey in akihabara japan and club sega are as strong as ever..
ruclips.net/video/JV-gklNS2-w/видео.html
Well done Dr. Stiles.
Thanks. But I'm not a doctor, only the driver of the ambulance.
For added gameplay, I always thought this game should have the player driving to the scene of the accident within a specific time limit and then leave for the hospital.
Yes, that would certainly make a good addition to the gameplay. Even better if the "cases"/missions appeared on a random position in the map/world letting AI decide case type and difficulty according to the player's skill. Also I'd like there to be variable missions presenting several different incidents, at least 10-15 types. Still, I love this game though it is simple, I dare not hope for a similar game to come in the near future. SEGA did games back when everybody was pioneering the technology, the games made then were one of its kind in that state of art. Sadly these days as technology no longer is a limit, intellect has declined - who wants to drive an ambulance when you can save the world with guns and superpowers.
1:30
Well that's pretty damn depressing
You mean that ghost ambulance driving over the edge into the ocean? Well, that's what he does, same time, same place, every game.
No one pulling over or stopping while you're driving code? Probably the most realistic part of this game LOL
Ah Chicago, back when we had money to pay for roadwork...I miss the old days. Also I know our weather is crazy, but damn. We had one hot summer when a cow burnt down our whole state and that's all y'all remember...smh but yes we do drive like that...that bit's accurate.
Gill Glinton had one hell of a smile throughout his accident
@1:30 lol, the patient in that other ambulance definitely didn't make it ^^
I'm pretty sure they have an oxygen tank in every ambulance.
Bro if you have less than 10 seconds the patient is gonna die either way. Especially the president 💀
Yes. Presidents are more prone to die than regular people.
No one would survive a plane crash exactly like that
I remember watching this when I was a kid 🥹
I never could get past stage 3. It was one of the left turns, there were a bunch of cars all coming at the same time and I couldn't avoid them.
I could never even made it pass stage 1! XD, I was always hitting something in this game Xp
Sounds like it could even be Discovery Health Channel: Rescue 911 as a videogame.
And you thought things were chaotic INSIDE the ambulance in Surgeon Simulator.
Well, no one is pulling over to let the ambulance by. At least that's pretty realistic.
This Game Came Out The Same Year Ass The Iron Giant
so they take the clothes off for the boy, the policeman and the president. but not the pregnant women.
The creators probably thought that would be classified as porn by the AAMA if they did that.
Perhaps I should point to some in depth info about this game:
www.albyhus2.se/_eget/ECA/
I love this freakin' game
Stage 1: 32
Stage 2: 9
Stage 3: 10
Stage 4 : 1
Average : 13
I used to play this game in an Game Center around 1999-2000 :O, but it was in Japanese
Yes. You can set the Model 3 to any region really.
Maybe SEGA should rerelease all their classic arcade games on the modern home consoles. 🤔🤔
On the last mission wjlhos firing those missiles.
The terrorists ofcourse.
last case:when the plane was crashin why was that guy still smiling LAWL WHAT IS WRONG WITH SEGA
The technology at the time didn`t allow different facial expressions.
Never noticed on the bottom left that " rendezvous " is spelled " rendezvuos "
2:05 Pets friendly hospital
6:16 Why so happy?
"Pets friendly hospital": Dog wouldn't let him out of his sight, he owed him a cookie.
"Why so happy?": In deed, why so happy. My guess is that it's some kind of inside humor at SEGA. The have other hidden 'easters', just look closer at the ambulance red flashers, see the faces?
This looks fun, but the theme is just kinda disturbing, the fact that you see the patient in the top right constantly. I'd definably prefer Crazy Taxi over this.
Well the point of monitoring the patient, and his/hers heart rate, constantly is to give you a measure of how you drive. Take a curve too steep / fast and you'll see the patients agony. Drive in a controlled yet smooth pace and recieve bonuses.
About Crazy Taxi, it is a completely different game regardless of how similar the scenery looks to ECA. I've ofter heard people refer to the looks as "Crazy Taxi like", but the fact is there's not simpler way of defining buildings and city environments using 3D graphics. SEGA did a very good job with this simplistic yet perfectly sufficient modelling style.
In Crazy Taxi you pick up customers to drive them to a certain spot on the large map. In ECA you get four linear missions of driving the patient to hospital through an obstacle course of varying difficulty. Yes there are shortcuts and fun stuff along the way to discover, but the game is linear. And the difference in driving techniques are also very different. So even though these games look the same, never ever confuse or compare them.
know what the patient screen reminds me of? The split screen montages often used on ''24'.
The ambulance stopped the gang because the gang crashed into the ambulance
A very valid theory.
Chicago is a chaos wow 😂
Dad,mom,son had a car crash, only son is taken to hospital. Are the parents like, dead?
Yes. They all died except the boy.
@ Tomas yes this game is great their is so much more than what the game covers after the patient is in the back of the ambulance we do put them on oxygen and then we become medical detectives and ask questions relating to why we were called out and yes I do ride in the back of an ambulance
No kidding, Steve? Please then tell me a little bit more about it. I'd be thrilled to get some IRL advice from some one like you. Regarding the driving, any specifics about how to take the turns? Braking, accelerating .. I understand that you need to really keep in mind the patient. What training does this job take? And is it a good job?
