Thank you for telling me what "Rad" means, english isnt my native language and since I was born in the 90, the only time I heard the word "rad" was in that Zelda I commercial..
That moment where you ran out of gas at 4:25 and just barely managed to coast through the CP brought back fond memories of beating this game back when I was eight years old. Just slowing down helplessly...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE *blueep!* YEAAAH!!!!!
such a parody of OUT RUN for the Sega Master System... same generation, so it makes sense.i mean SEGA had this in the SMS 3D GLASSES, while Nintendo made you use you're own, but it does the 3D effects oh and, @MisterWilsonTV, It should be... or out run, which i would prefer more. thumbs up so he sees it.
@charrr2 thx, but that wasnt it. it had a miami-style and the driver had to stand up to fire from the "roof" of the cabrio. it was playable on arcade machines, in germany if it helps.
They should remake this game for the 3ds. If you press the select button it goes to 3d mode. but back then...ehh. lol if they remake it, they can finally go in with the 3d effects
This game was so much better than Outrun. It has a flow that's just so smooth. The way the road looks as it's coming at you is so sinewy and has a 3D look that's just not there in other race games. Nothing on the 16 bit machines have anything quite like it. The 3D feature doesn't really work. It's hard to see.
@littleboyred1 They do have a megaman arcade game, it was a fighting game. They made a part one and part 2. It's pretty fun to be honest. The remix of the megaman boss stage music is great! Check it out when you get time.
A million bonus points to anyone that can mention a unique feature that this game had over every other NES game. (And, I am not talking about the 3-D option, either.)
Well...since I don't have a million points to dish out, I'll just say it...
'This game tweaks with the reset button.' Both, at the very beginning AND again at the very end.
At the beginning, it asks you to press start. Reset and you can't see that.
At the end, there's toony credits. Reset. It does the end scene, again!
I decided to try out Rad Racer 2 for the NES because of this. If you dig this game, the next one is even better looking and controlling. The only downside is that the music is not as good, and you cannot have both music and the engine noise at the same time. Overall though I would suggest it to anyone who likes old racing games.
And, there just weren't very many racing games for the NES. A hand full (Perhaps 10-15) of top down drivers and very few 3-D versions. (4-5...maybe. One of which just cloned the Rad Racer engine.)
As for the 3-D mode: I never had success in getting the third dimension to actually pop...regardless of the television set in use. They're just classic red/blue plastic lense things, as seen from 1950's movie theatres.
I just got this game from a thrift store this year and absolutely love this game. I also want a pair of 3d glasses to test out the 3d feature. I tried following a guide I found online on how to create your own with plastic,sharpies,and a glasses frame. It did not work though lol.
I did finally get a pair of 3d glasses, from sly cooper 2 on ps2, and I still could not see any 3d really. Maybe my eyes just cant see crap like that.
you mean for the older folks that can kick ur ass through a shopping window :P
rad racers da bomb, fuck the new generation games .. its all too easy - so easy its suitable for the next gen kids that would cry without a memory card ^^
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
that may be true but new games are funner.old games are basically shit compared to them.i have mixed reactions about streetfighter because it's the same but different in some crazy way:pi guess this would be fun if they didn't have faster car games.could've sworn they had a sonic game on ps2 better than this.cry without a mem card?what does that mean?next gen games arent all easy.play gears or the metal.
???final fantasy?what's wrong with it?i played like 3 of em so im not sure what you mean by that.this rad racer thing doesn't really look good to me:p if you like it fine but i like racing games like mario and burnout.old games are fun,but...
im not from the 80s so i dont know about milestones and stuff but right now the games are good.like sf4 and killzone,etc.what i was trying to say earlier was that games now have more stuff than games from like 1996.all im trying to say.
thats ok and i get ur point - games obviously get better the more time passes by - but the era has changed so much and certain stuff just doesnt seem as interesting as it used to be - and it doesnt have anything to do with me gettin older - im still a gamer but i get drawn away if games are all about gfx and forget that its the gameplay that dragged people to lock themselves inside a gamers hut ^^
your right its all about gameplay,but it's nice to see a game that doesn't look blocky for once.everything gets boring,dude.one day it's the shit,next day it is shit.
this game kinda reminded me of pole position on the atari so just that explains this is an amazing game but i still think it wasnt up with super monaco gp
i spent hours on this game as a kid, and this was the first racing game i ever played. after i left this game back in the early 90s the only other racing game i played was mario kart until gran turismo finally came out in 98...which is another story
He works for Inecom Company, so yes, he probably does get paid for the Classic Game Room videos. He also has worked on various DVD documentories; that you can buy on Inecom's website.
And for the NES, because Outrun was 1986 and it was way better. That's why people still played in arcades at the time even when consoles like the NES got popular.
Excellent game,with POWER GLOVE compatibility,already seen on the movie ''The Wizard'',and the most strange but surprising thing,is that is made by SQUARESOFT...I can imagine a Rad Racer RPG made by SQUARE hehe
Great review, here in the uk, the nes whas not the huge success it was in usa and japan, when i had mine, there was not many games for it,it took so long for games to come to the uk and europe.
While I never felt that Rad Racer for NES was better looking than OutRun for the SMS, I will give it credit for being way faster. Both were great games. I love the "rolling" sound effect when you run out of time and your momentum is just carrying you along. Classic!
I've noticed in ALL of the old NES games that there is alot of unused space on the sides of the picture, usually more so on the left side. I wonder if tube tv's back in the day had more overscan than the sets of today because I don't remember seeing that much extra unused graphics.
The hills are certainly smoother than the jerk-jerk-jerk hills that Master System Outrun was notorious for. Though Outrun 3D improved on it immensely with its lush graphics and grass and oceans.
What if the home console idea NEVER took off? Like say after the 80s crash of the gaming industry, arcades experienced a surge in popularity and consoles simply stayed back in the shadows?
I don't think do. I'm talking about the death of home consoles.... say Nintendo never released the Famicon/NES....
Or what if there was some kinda depression (this is all make believe remember) and people didn't have the money to develop these expensive home consoles?
Even if you consoles eventually did pick up, we would be so behind on technology.
It would be the same, because the COnsole would have never been made, but the arcade yes. So Sooner or later ppl would have wanted an arcade for home which could play alot of games in a single cabinet.
In the same way everyone want to have a Threat at home.
you should check out my video game reveiws its very!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! awesome i have evry thing in gameing an more each day i something in gameing and fridays i do walkthroughs just type in pkmntrainervadim it awsome.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Here is a cheat, on the demo screen when the car is driving itself. Press the B or A button (can't remember really) you will see the rev bar above the screen light up. Each light up represents a level. Then hit select start at the same time and you get to jump ahead to that track. I don't know if that is the right code, but you get to play against other cool cars. Thanks CGR for the flash back :)
Although the Master System was more powerful than the NES, this actually has better graphics, or at least a much better frame rate, than the MS ports of OutRun and Hang-On. Developing the game from the ground up for the console must have been a huge benefit to Square.
this guy just loves this game so much. i love how he talks about this game like its cutting edge technology. the cars have adamantium roll cages was the best part haha.
Meh, you're not missing out on anything in the 3D mode. 3D mode was poorly implamented. The red&blue sprites of alot of things, like clouds, are so far apart that it doesn't produce any 3D effect. Really the only thing in the game that was center correctly in 3D mode is the player's car & the road....
Square used to make driving games? You learn something new every day. They'll probably never do something like this again unless it involves chocobos.
games now a days should have the 3d mode, that would make them much better. just think what gears of war would be like with a 3d mode, and blood spattering out of the screen.
Yeah this is one of my favorite oldschool racers for the home consoles next to Top Gear for the SNES. It was always such a thrill to run out of time and then just coast through the next check point and then start speeding again. The crashes were so wild haha
All the levels in the game were well designed and it had a great sensation of speed as well. Great review here and yes the sequel was nowhere near as good.

Great review, here in the uk, the nes whas not the huge success it was in usa and japan, when i had mine, there was not many games for it,it took so long for games to come to the uk and europe.

While I never felt that Rad Racer for NES was better looking than OutRun for the SMS, I will give it credit for being way faster. Both were great games. I love the "rolling" sound effect when you run out of time and your momentum is just carrying you along. Classic!

I've noticed in ALL of the old NES games that there is alot of unused space on the sides of the picture, usually more so on the left side. I wonder if tube tv's back in the day had more overscan than the sets of today because I don't remember seeing that much extra unused graphics.

The hills are certainly smoother than the jerk-jerk-jerk hills that Master System Outrun was notorious for. Though Outrun 3D improved on it immensely with its lush graphics and grass and oceans.
It has less variety in levels of course.

Hey I have a neat idea for you CGRHD....
What if the home console idea NEVER took off? Like say after the 80s crash of the gaming industry, arcades experienced a surge in popularity and consoles simply stayed back in the shadows?
What would the world be like today?

It Would be the same. Since alot of games would have been released for Arcade and sooner or later ppl would have wanted an Arcade machine at home...

I don't think do. I'm talking about the death of home consoles.... say Nintendo never released the Famicon/NES....
Or what if there was some kinda depression (this is all make believe remember) and people didn't have the money to develop these expensive home consoles?
Even if you consoles eventually did pick up, we would be so behind on technology.

It would be the same, because the COnsole would have never been made, but the arcade yes. So Sooner or later ppl would have wanted an arcade for home which could play alot of games in a single cabinet.
In the same way everyone want to have a Threat at home.

Oh the radical memories :.)
Here is a cheat, on the demo screen when the car is driving itself. Press the B or A button (can't remember really) you will see the rev bar above the screen light up. Each light up represents a level. Then hit select start at the same time and you get to jump ahead to that track. I don't know if that is the right code, but you get to play against other cool cars. Thanks CGR for the flash back :)

Although the Master System was more powerful than the NES, this actually has better graphics, or at least a much better frame rate, than the MS ports of OutRun and Hang-On. Developing the game from the ground up for the console must have been a huge benefit to Square.

Nice smooth track scrolling. Good hill effects. Good lateral sky movement.
Pretty decent for the NES!

Meh, you're not missing out on anything in the 3D mode. 3D mode was poorly implamented. The red&blue sprites of alot of things, like clouds, are so far apart that it doesn't produce any 3D effect. Really the only thing in the game that was center correctly in 3D mode is the player's car & the road....

Square used to make driving games? You learn something new every day. They'll probably never do something like this again unless it involves chocobos.

They made Driving Emotion Type S for the PS2.

games now a days should have the 3d mode, that would make them much better. just think what gears of war would be like with a 3d mode, and blood spattering out of the screen.

Yeah this is one of my favorite oldschool racers for the home consoles next to Top Gear for the SNES. It was always such a thrill to run out of time and then just coast through the next check point and then start speeding again. The crashes were so wild haha
All the levels in the game were well designed and it had a great sensation of speed as well. Great review here and yes the sequel was nowhere near as good.
