SVGR: Midway Arcade Treasures 3 (PS2); Hydro Thunder, Rush 2049, Super Off-Road

[TheUnbiasedGamer]

I bought this just for Hydro thunder. I can't believe you never heard of race drivin. I barely ever went to the arcades and i saw it everytime. I like the game.

[burnindriver900]

i heard theres an old xbox version i wanna buy for HYDRO THUNDER !!!!! i had the game for pc but the freakin computer messed up.

[AllanSanches]

Bought it just because of the Rush The rock, and got a lot good games that I really didn't care about before, but find out to be really good, Rush 2049 makes it worthy buying this colection on its own, Hydro and Off Road Thunder are also pretty nice, the rest I consider like bonus.

[thenomeer]

why the heck would they put this game on the market if it froze?

[ROFLMASTUR]

2:41

you can change their clothes to bikinis in the options menu after choosing the game in the menu

[Tdak1128]

3:54 "the worst grapphics ever" hey dumbass it was released in 1988. have you ever heard of polygons?

[stonecoldrvd]

RACE DRIVING. I remember playing it at the Arcades. Yes, I was lucky to play the 3 monitor set up when I was young. My friend had the game for the SEGA GENESIS..

And yes, they changed the name to HARD DRIVING. Like you said, Race Driving sounds stupid! ;)

[CamsEyeView]

hey swag i dont know if you know this but what happened with offroad thunder when it froze that means that it was a showstopper bug causing the game to freeze or crash

[SWAGshow]

Yup I know, I was a game tester for a couple years.

[CamsEyeView]

oh okay i just wanted to say that since in my classes we tested a game that had so many of those it got boring....

[keyblade41]

Rush 2049 was/STILL IS amazing! I own it on N64 and I put at least $6 into it every time I find an arcade version of it!

[1983parrothead]

Badlands is effectively the spiritual successor to Atari's previous racing games Super Sprint and Championship Sprint.

At 1:41, I noticed that they gave Ivan "Ironman" Stewart some sunglasses and a mustache, due to the license to use him being expired. The game was not originally developed or published by Williams, Midway, or Atari Games but by the Leland Corporation (which was acquired by WMS Industries, the holding company of said developers, in 1994).

[1983parrothead]

Wait, it's 'Lightning' Kevin Lydy", one of the graphic designers of the original arcade game.

[shizaunilicious]

hyrdrothunder reminds me of jet moto.

[Sutidude]

It's funny when you get creeped out by the Offroad Thunder Announcer's sayings!

Still, an awesome review, this looks like a cool game collection.

I do remember seeing that Stun Runner game at a hotel in Cooperstown, but I don't remember it having a long seat cushion.

[siadcom]

What the hell? I haven't come across a single review of this title mentioning how incredibly glitchy this game is. This is a total garbage title that isn't even worth 5 bucks unless you wanna play the one of the only games that have no glitches like Hydro Thunder. Are you reviewers deaf and blind? Rush The Rock and 2049, Stun Runner, Race Drivin', and Offroad Thunder are all glitchy as hell.

[michagankid123]

did you git the game used because i think you did.

[bumrush113]

i got race drivin for the sega, played it for about 5,10 min. then i hit the game with a hamer.

[noviodtumama]

your voice is so great !!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

You were pretty harsh on Race Drivin' , it was essentially an update of Hard Drivin' which was the World's first solid 3D polygonal racing game. Also the influence for Virtua Racing and Daytona.

[SWAGshow]

It's a game that has not aged well at all. Again, that was the first time I had played it and I usually try to imagine myself playing it when the game actually came out. But I guarantee that if I played this game 15 years ago I would have been just as bored with it.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

You'd have enjoyed it more in the original arcade though. It was a total driving experience, force feedback steering wheel, vibrating chair that jolted if you crashed. It was more a theme park ride.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Oh, Super Off Road asks for your birthday in the arcade as it was a save system, easier to remember than a password. So it was incredibly rare for two people to have the same name and birthdate.

and forgot to say, One odd thing I noticed when I had this game on Xbox was all the 3D games (Rush, Hydro Thunder, Offroad Thunder) were actually emulations of the dreamcast port, not the original arcade. Odd huh?

[NOTHlNG]

6:20 LOL!!!

[jballen90]

race drivin was on MAT2

[sasukeuchiha2111]

I loved hydro thunder but I wish that they had artic thunder too

[hentaipleasemalcolm]

Used to play that at an indoor soccer place.

[zebure]

[StrawberryGuy86]

Staart yoouur eengiiinne!!!

[avgnfan223]

Dude!!! i remember that game race drivin' it was at the old pizza hut in my town :)))) it had a key to start it :DD

[brettybluevein]

This guy seems like a super douche.

[Vkmies]

So do you

[JayXavier]

Pffff. Well if you consider a guy with a pink frosted pony tail and a pink beard to be a 'douche' then...well......

[pjthekilla]

"Hey id like 2 start her engine if u know wat i mean" LOL! Swag is tight

[Braydenhawk]

i played hydro thunder in a pizza place and i loved it im sure i wont like it as much on a home console but hey i just prefer racing games in arcades and stuff cuz of the feal it makes me feal like racing...

[xaer0knight]

awesome Angry Beavers shirt :)

[IrritatedGamer]

Nice review!

[CamsEyeView]

hey swag im curious why didnt you do the second midway arcade classics? jsut curious im not bashing you for any reason

[SWAGshow]

Midway Arcade Treasures 2 had a lot of sequels to the games on the first collection; it wasn't really different enough. Plus, I was in the mood to review some driving games, which I haven't done a whole lot of before.

[CamsEyeView]

i see well thats cool i mean i dont review alot of shooters but im getting tempted to

[Menace117]

Midway Arcade Treasures 2 had a lot of original games. There was Narc, MK, Primal Rage

[lowbudgetltd]

Hey! Hard Drivin was the first game ever to use polygons. Go a little more easy on it.

[ZionKraze]

Race Drivin' moves like a drunken cow. I bet it felt like that for you as well SWAG.

[Gamester81]

Great review. Race Driving is the same as Hard Driving which was released by Atari. Intresting I never new Midway released this game as well.

[hcubeentertainment]

I think there was also a four player super off road machine.

[mohawkman2006]

the angry beavers!?

[SWAGshow]

an awesome cartoon from the 90's.

[jumblejunkie]

DUDE! you never heard of race drivin'?? man when i was little, we thought it was amazing. it was like a dollar a play.

[SWAGshow]

Wow, I feel sorry for anybody that paid a dollar to play that game.

[Quakeman224]

I actually Bought Hydro Thunder on N64. So yea. I love Hydro thunder. the funny part, I wasted a total of 56 dollars on HT alone because its that great. Plus there was a tournament once. Got, I love that game.

Awesome review SWAG, just like RFA

[LadyBuggin777]

hahahah good vid dude love the ending with paper boy ... you an irate gamer are my favorite ... good job~

[jack4life456]

ihave hydro thunder on dreamcast! yeah!

[TekkenXer]

The announcer in the offroad thunder is hilarious. I liked the ones in Hydro thinder more. I lol'd at your imitation of the announcer swag. Thanks for doing that. Hydro Thunder STILL kicks ass up until now. Hope they bring it in XBL

[adrianmarti]

I liked ending 1 best since you made fun of the cliche beating up a character from the video game. Ending 2 was much more cliche since you just helped him up and then he hit you in the balls. Very cliche. LOL!

[juliuswhiteman]

i might get this for psp

[HalfBlindGamer]

Ah I loved to play Super Off Roud with friends in the arcade, great fun!

Also... I never knew Race Driver was an arcade game originally, I have a diskette laying around somewhere with that game for PC/DOS. But now I know where the hell that timer came from! If you hit anything you'd blow up too, only 3 tracks... in other words it was total crap.

Great interactivity at the end by the way!

[jkgatling]

I played that Bad Lands game on a video game convention, wasnt that bad... not that good either :P

[TG5455]

Oh yeah,Super Off-Road was great to play at the arcades.

[Karekristensson]

I remember playing the arcade cabinet version of Hydro Thunder on a boat when me and my mom and dad were going to England a few years ago.

Man I had so much fun playing it. :)

[eltimmy]

5:02-5:05 that's what she said

[fijberto]

i used to play Rush 2049 and Hydro thunder in the arcades all the time. I Love those games.

[alexisironman]

hes hella slow lol

[giguyjoe2nd]

The offroad announcer sound like the guy from Operation 7.

[ivantopito]

first!?
