    God I remember finally being able to wheelie pretty much the entire speed bay track. Lapping opponents in your 3rd lap ftw

    I got that game bundled with a computer (Compaq Presario) when I bought it back in 1998 and it was one of my fav games. The music was also really awesom.

      @1magazine 6 лет назад +2

      Boris Terekidi Hey, we also got Moto Racer bundled with a Compaq Presario! If I recall correctly we also had Rage’s Incoming included, and another one which I can’t remember. However Moto Racer was such a blast, Speed Bay being the favourite track of course :)

    @cappantwan2978 11 лет назад +5

    Holy crap, you just made me blow up in a wave of nostalgia. I remember my parents buying me this game for my WIndows 95 Compaq Presario. This game used to blow my mind as a kid with its 3D graphics and textures.

  • @SianaGearz
    @SianaGearz 7 лет назад +49

    OK, what's up with late 90ies games, especially racing games, having the most awesome soundtracks? Whether it's rock, or house&techno, or whatever, it's all kind of on another level of awesomeness! Am I turning into an old person? Is this what being an old person is like?

    As soon as I heard that soundtrack the nostalgia hit me like a truck. All that time I spent as a kid playing this game on my dad's computer is slowly coming back to me. Speed Bay will always be my favorite map. I swear I played that map so much that I barely remember the others that well. To be honest I don't even remember if my child self was patient enough to beat this entire game to unlock everything. All I wanted to do was ride a motorcycle wicked fast alongside a beach and knock the other racers over.

    @THOMASSU63 12 лет назад +1

    I loved this too on my PC w 3DFx back in the day. I still have the original left, but it's the regular version in a smaller box.

  • @LGR
    @LGR  12 лет назад +3

    Yes, Glide-enabled games often provided a far superior visual experience at the time. Anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, z-buffering, volumetric effects, lighting, etc. I have videos on the Voodoo and 3DFX cards that show the difference :)
    Wrappers such as nGlide and dgVoodoo are good ways to check it out nowadays though, and sometimes even make older games work better on modern systems.

  • @LGR
    @LGR  12 лет назад +3

    I don't have hardly any of the game boxes from my childhood either. Same thing: careless brother/self and parents who wanted the boxes gone to make space. I've had to find all these games again in their packaging over the past several years, since I now know their true value and how much I enjoy them.

  • @LGR
    @LGR  12 лет назад

    Correct, though I was only talking about the game being used to push the Glide-capable cards, not saying it had Glide rendering. Should've been more clear I suppose.

  • @DanWallace85
    @DanWallace85 10 лет назад +25

    Never quite got over it, never quite spoke to him again! lol

  • @xMobilemux
    @xMobilemux 12 лет назад +5

    I'll never forget this game, it was the very very first video game I had ever played in my life and was pretty much my all time favorite bike racing game until I played Freekstyle.
    Moto Racer was amazing back then and is still fun as hell today :)

  • @someinterwebguy
    @someinterwebguy 12 лет назад +1

    MotoRacer and MotoRacer 2 are pleasant memories of late 90's PC gaming for me. Pentium II 233mhz, 96MB RAM, and a 16MB TNT video card - good times. Good Review!

  • @TheVanillatech
    @TheVanillatech 4 года назад +1

    Had a Matrox Mystique when Motoracer landed, and the box said my card was supported for 3D accelerated mode. Yep it was supported - but the Mystique didn't have bilinear filtering support so the game looked same as software mode only it could be played in 640x480 with a super smooth framerate. My friend had an Orchid Righteous 3D and when I saw the game running on his PC it made by buy a 3Dfx VooDoo card. The Matrox stayed in my PC as a 2D card - and for the best Mechwarrior 2 version ever released (the Mystique MW2 was superb!).

  • @joshuakelly8266

    I remember playing this on a late 90's Compaq Presaio with a 350MHz AMD K6-2 and integrated SiS graphics. It was one of the few games I had that made use of a gamepad for the PC.

  • @jhonrock2386
    @jhonrock2386 5 лет назад +6

    Watching this in 2019. Man! You did change a lot in these last 6 years uh?
    Good game, I played the hell out of it back in the day on PS1.

  • @AlyxxTheRat
    @AlyxxTheRat 12 лет назад +1

    3DFX was the shit back then. A BIG reason I am partial to PC's when it comes to gaming, they're always modular and therefore more capable of greater graphics than consoles, since consoles are locked to their components. I remember back in 1998, playing Tomb Raider II and MDK on PC and then seeing them on Playstation. I couldn't believe it was the same game, they looked so much muddier and pixelated on console.

    2:30 that main theme. Guitar with the organ chord and 808s and the sax. What a crazy blend that comes out good

  • @TheVanillatech
    @TheVanillatech 10 лет назад +1

    I had a Matrox card when I bought this game, a Matrox Mystique 2MB. It looked absolute no different to Software mode on the Mystique but it ran noticably faster. I mean, it was as smooth in 640x480 on the Mystique as it was in 320x240 in software mode. A few months later I bought a 3Dfx card and it ran just as smooth as the Mystique did, only now with BiLinear filtering and looked so much smoother. Awesome game though. Great times had with this one at LANS.

  • @LGR
    @LGR  12 лет назад +1

    Hard to say. My favorite game with cars is probably Carmageddon 2. "Racing game" implies racing though, and C2 isn't really about racing. POD is a personal favorite, largely because of the atmosphere and my crusade to find every version ever made worldwide. Still, it can't compete with modern games as far as actual racing is concerned though, and Forza 4 is my favorite of the modern ones.

  • @M4R14NO94
    @M4R14NO94 8 лет назад

    Fun fact: the announcer dude on this (as well as 2 and Advance) was voiced by Christian Erickson, aka Lance Boyle from the MegaRace games, and more recently Heavy Rain's "The Doctor". I seem to recall there were one or two lines where you could clearly tell it was him.

  • @Napalm30308

    Seriously dude, thank you for reviewing this game.
    This was my first ever video game, I remember playing it on my parent's old clunky Compaq computer on Windows 98, I still have the game disc on a place of honor here at my desk. Thank you LGR for hitting me with that little blast of nostalgia.

    I had to persuade my father to buy this new game from the flea market. At first he didn't want to, but then he did it and we haven't regretted it. He even made a list of which motorcycle is suitable for which racetrack.

    Played the hell out of this on a P 166 overdrive and a 4 meg rendition card. Seemed like it looked better than whatever this is on. A fun romp to burn a half hour back then.

  • @PowerMeep
    @PowerMeep 3 года назад

    I remember triggering a bug during either the menu eyecatch or maybe a saved replay where it stopped playing back automatically and transferred control to me, the player. That absolutely blew my mind when I was little. I don't remember what buttons I pressed to cause it, but the rider focused on by the camera crashed into something. When he got back onto his bike, he was back in player-control mode.

  • @JoshyHendoMan

    When we got our first computer as a family this game came with its purchase. I still remember my dad laughing his head off watching me try and master the keyboard controls. I played this game all the time. So awesome to see highlights of it.

    Used to have the PS1 version way back when it feels like now and played the hell out of it and damn, hearing that soundtrack was one huge punch of nostalgia. One of the first racing games I got into back in the day alongside the Gran Turismo franchise and Test Drive 5. Good times that literally feel like yesterday to me still. Thanks for this blast from the past, LGR!

    This game only had Direct3D. No Glide as mentioned as mentioned in the video (same goes with RRedline from the Rendition logo). Games usually featured 3D graphics hardware logos even if they were running with Direct3D and not the proprietary API.

  • @sonic4j
    @sonic4j 12 лет назад

    Wow I was about to go to bed, then I noticed this video on your channel. I thought I was the only one who liked this game! I remember bringing it to school in 6th grade and playing it in the computer lab with my friend. The game is very light on the CPU so it was one of the few 3D games that worked really well with my Celeron 300 (no A) and ATI 3D Rage onboard graphics. I am going hook up that same computer and play it again in the morning!

    Thanks for your response!
    I may even try to get a Voodoo card from mercadolibre (LA's ebay) if I find a cheap one, for my vintage pc.
    On something completly different, I think this is bizarre enough to spark your interest, have you ever tried an SSD on a older system with a sata-ide converter?
    It's incredibly bizarre to see windows 98 booting in seconds and how fast everything loads... it almost depresses me for all the time I spent watching loading bars on my childhood.

  • @naranjo1989
    @naranjo1989 12 лет назад

    Nice review man, this game brings back so many memories.. Can. Run this game with software graphics? Or is it 3d harware accelerated graphics only?

  • @vetzRetro
    @vetzRetro 12 лет назад

    Probably a compatibility / performance switch. This game does not have Glide. Early DirectX 3 & 5 games usually had different Direct3D HAL settings specified for each graphics card, since not every card ran Direct3D the way it was supposed to. If you try the Matrox Mystique optimized version of Moto Racer it will not look correct on a 3DFX card, even if both versions run on Direct3D.

  • @TooSweaty4U
    @TooSweaty4U 12 лет назад

    I have a question about 3dfx and Voodoo graphic cards...
    At the time I had 5 years, and being in a third world country, I never heard of either 3dfx or Voodoo cards until much later.
    My question is, where those just faster graphics cards or the 3dfx versions of games really supported higher resolutions and better graphics (maybe smoke effects or lighting effects).
    If I'm going to replay some old games, trying nGlide will improve my experience?

    I think I'm gonna have to check this one out. It's giving me a vibe of Beetle Adventure Racing back from the N64. It's too bad N64 emulation isn't that great and there's practically no chance of a re-release or virtual console.
