    Love the shout out to Streak Hoverboard Racing. Although it has a steep learning curve, once mastered, it is a fast, fun, one-of-a-kind futuristic racer. Pool Hustler reminded me of Backstreet Billiards which is another really cool story-based pool game where you hustle your way through a shady underworld to solve the mystery of your deceased father's stolen pool cue. Another great PS1 video! Thank you.

    Once again reminding you that GRIP released in 2016. There was a brand new Rollcage, it’s on every platform you can think of, it’s really good. Vehicles are a lot more heavy and planted but I think that works with the new physics engine. It was made by Caged Element

  • @Great_Watt
    @Great_Watt 2 месяца назад

    There IS an indie spiritual successor to Rollcage, called Grip that was released on PS4 way back in 2018. There is also a 3rd entry in the Rollcage series on PS1 but it was weirdly retooled and rebranded as Firebugs. But if you look at the gameplay footage you'll see it definitely is Rollcage, just with a slightly different skin. The mechanics, weapon powerups and animations are exactly the same. No idea why they abandoned the name Rollcage and the fanbase that came with it, as nobody played Firebugs, probably because even less people knew it had anything to do with Rollcage...
    Rollcage stage 2 is an amazing game, but when you unlock the fastest cars it's actually too fast and you end up flying off the tracks pretty frequently unless you don't go at the top speeds, which seems to make the top speeds pointless if you can't control the cars. I wish they'd stuck with the Rollcage brand and made a PS2 version on the better hardware. Mechanics like the fact you could drive through the supports of buildings to collapse them on opponents could have been expanded on better hardware. What might have been... Still, it was a fantastic racing series for the PS1 and is ripe for an official remake/reboot. Grip was OK, but felt soulless compared with the PS1 games. I prefer playing Rollcage 2 on an emulator so you can adjust the frame rate and smooth out the graphics, etc.

    Great choices here, my first real memory of Fighting Force was watching my bro and his mate who got it the same Xmas we got the PS1 playthrough it in an evening, sometimes asking if I could give it a try with the same answer: "Nope". I did get to play it later on and it was a great challenge on 1P mode.

    My personal favorite hidden gem PS1 game is NASCAR Rumble. Don't let the name fool you, the only connection it has to NASCAR are the car skins. You race on normal roads in varied locations with shortcuts, things to smash through, etc. It has a power-up system, but frankly I find it more annoying than fun. Thankfully it can be turned off if you'd rather just have a more traditional race. To me, it seems like the closest the PS1 ever came to having a Burnout game.
    There was also a semi-sequel to this on the PS2 called Rumble Racing, made by the same developers.

    What did you do to your tripod? 😄 Seriously though, nice to see some games I’ve genuinely never played like Streak: Hoverboard Racing & some I’d just forgotten like Urban Chaos & Exhumed. I have plaid Fighting Force & do remember hearing about the game’s history back in the day. Fun video thank you, @TheGebs24 & don’t worry, chromakey 3D makes lots of us feel sick & gives us all headaches.

    Some interesting games there I've not heard of, never seen that hover board one B4, remember playing Back to the future 2 on my mates c64 with the 1st level on the hover boards, hogs of war is definitely a hidden gem, a very funny worms like 3d game with pigs from different countries all voiced by the great Rik Mayall, gets quite challenging as it goes on, it is awesome on multi player with a group of friends all taking turns.

    I like Fighting Force, but I must admit, as a recently acquired game for me, I'm still struggling to advance forwards through the game, I rarely get past the building part at the beginning of the game and the 2nd level by the streets after you beat the twin girls at the 1st act.
    I'm still not sure what the game's story is, as it simply starts by throwing you straight into the gatehouse to beat up the first few enemies.

    never seen Streak Hoverboard before but I loved Trickstyle on Dreamcast. Pool Hustler was great, much better than the PS1 version of Virtual Pool IMO, and we have mentioned Street Sk8r before 'MEDIC' :), you could put the disc in a regular cd player and listen to the soundtrack.

    • @erikpugh7028

    I remember when Fighting force came out I was looking forward to it because it was advertised as coming to the Sega Saturn but they cancelled.
    That aside I felt this game to be a huge step back from older 2D beatemups because all of the playable charachters played the same and had no unique moves.
    Also there was a rollcage spiritual successor called Grip: Combat racing

    Hi and cheers. Project Overkill. Sadly never heard of it here in Germany. It looks good. PS1 usually had a bad resolution so that many 2D titles didn't look good on the system. Did this game have a special higher resolition? Many interesting games. Most of themt I didn't play or didn't even know. I wish you a happy and good evening.
