[PituDitu]

It was on the coin machines in 88? XD

[EVOASSHOLE]

I use to play this! There was this accolade nascar game also and death cars and rockford.... The bike game was so reAl!!!

[Slimyscaly48]

Sweet!! They have Marlboro in this game! A no-no nowadays!

[Pistomark]

fantastic!! I remember that fantastic game, I played a lot when I was a child! the sound is better and different from by old IBM PC during the early 1990s

[hobbycoder94]

I have this game for MS-DOS. The sound of your version is much better then the DOS-Version. The graphic is the same. Very nice game ;-)

[Dying2reachU]

Nostalgia. It hurts. ):

[kreishmark]

I think the reason why I went on and got my motorbike license, bought all the gear and bought a bike is the music of this video. This is true BTW. I really think so deep down. :D

[superallye]

@kreishmark

Wow. Much respect to you for the inspiration.

[andre55sx]

[napalmhardcore]

never owned this game but damn i miss my amiga!

[LKRaider]

wow, the Amiga sound is awesome. I only played the DOS version on my 386 back then. Great game, great memories.

[superallye]

@LKRaider

Yes indeed. You should try the Amiga versions of your other DOS games, you'll be thrilled. Better graphics & sound on Amiga.

[jpatiaga]

Don Lee.. I will beat you again any time...

[leknightcluber]

kris hatlelid ROCKZ :)

[superallye]

@leknightcluber

He does but he's snubbish. I tried to befriend him on facebook but he ignored me twice.

[gustavooo71]

feo ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[merkonomi]

I played this on my trusty 286 :D Epic music then, epic music now :D

[straighttailpilot]

HA! i used to have this game on my 386. great memories

[Niebelungenlied]

PS cool job, mate. You take down just that bastard with the number 88. Was he Travis Daye? I don't remember now... ahahhahaha XD!

[superallye]

From your comments you seem to love this game. I do too. XD Can't remember Travis Daye was he the aggressive one? Anyways, on another of Accolade's game Grand Prix Circuit, there's one aggressive driver named Bruno Gourdo. Remember him? He rams other cars off the road, lol.

[Durie27]

@Niebelungenlied

It was Don Lee, with the number 88 bike. He was the toughest opponent in 500cc. I played with this game today :D:D. However it is old, but i still enjoy it, and try to beat my best laps all the time :D

[Spruso1]

@Niebelungenlied

Number 88 was Don Lee, that bastard!

[Niebelungenlied]

LOL. The 250 was the funniest to drive, in my opinion. I loved to race in Goiania and Salzburgring...

[matouskovi]

Ouch 4:39.

[acidus404]

Fantastic =) 2:40 Beautiful Wheelie!

[superallye]

lol, I overlooked that.thanks. ;)

[wiewiorpl]

[pex12]

[superallye]

286 with an EGA video card was like an I7 PC with GTX 295 of today

[acquaticbboy]

:))

[SuperPatchman]

is that sound readin a floppy disk? i had it too

[superallye]

It is a fake floppy sound since this is from an Amiga emulator. You can put floppy sound in this emulation, lol.

[SuperPatchman]

:o! i love Accolade games btw! Dos-Box FTW!

[Stennarxx]

its a mobilehone game??

[SuperPatchman]

-_-"

[MachineSociety]

The floppy chewing is delicious

[Gregz0r1]

[obiwan1323]

[lilynugent]

Class Retro game of the 80s.

[jesse0192]

Holy crap!! This kicks ass!! It's like test drive 2, but with bikes and real tracks!! Thanks for posting this, i might've never found it!!

[superallye]

Cool. You never knew Accolade made this?

[jesse0192]

I had never heard of this game at all. And i'm a dos nut, i've been playing pc games since 96 and i have over 70 dos games that i play pretty often. I downloaded it a little while ago, it's an awesome game. Thanks!

[def1000]

wow great music! unfortunately i had the PC speaker in those times, i think there was no music unlike in the formula 1 GP

[superallye]

There was music in the PC version. Try getting this game in the net under Abandonware

[Koopaboy]

fucking great music

[hristoitchov]

Talk bout music! Brilliant! Quite good gameplay as well in this one, probably still one of the best bike sims lol.

[jws50]

DSI put out a lot of great games back then.

[superallye]

Sadly DSI is now EA Sports Canada :(

[jws50]

yeah dsi is gone, that sucks!

[ZroDfects]

hahaha i love the sound of the floppy disk being loaded, another bring back memories lol, who used x-copy to copy games back in the day hahaha....

[dukenukemman]

Thanks for posting this up. I used to play this alot when it came out. Great memories...

[brigada7hunedoara]

[superallye]

LOL! MS Paint didn't even exist yet in 89' !

[maarten328]

I remember this one! The wheelies were great!

[adiprecu]

[R6easy]

[superallye]

Revs was technically advanced in its time.

[PalenicaFilm]

Optimalized for Windows Vista.

[n33dw33d3333]

[bonghits420]

What the heck are those extremely loud "reading floppy disk" noises in the video?

[VideyoJunkei]

It is emulated :*) it was never THAT loud, I should know!

[8esferas]

really good game, i remmember it

[SecretMisery]

wow :O This is like.... Porn O_O Just the sight of this amazing piece of PIXEL made game made me.... hang on, gonna get new underpants.....

[superallye]

srsly dude if a pixel game makes you wet, you got srs problems lol.

[TheArea510]

looks nice when is this baby come out?

[superallye]

It'll come out in July 5 1989. Can't wait for it too ^_^

[TheArea510]

4real dude cant wait,ay do they got it for Ps3 too?becuz i really wanna play it on the Ps3 HD 10+/10 I love it cant wait nigga!!!!

[superallye]

Ps3? You kiddin' me dude, they already have it it for Xbox 720 HD. They'll stop making this game in 1994 so we gotta reserve our copy now foo!!!

[BigPeBe]

God I remember when I was little boy in before mid 90's and I played these ACCOLADE games :D

[scooternscooby]

I remember this, this game was so cool, the first time I played it was on an orange monochrome monitor, It was so exciting when I first played it in colour lol

[superallye]

Yeah 80's Accolade racing games were really that exciting back then. I played Test Drive 1 & 2, Grand Prix Circuit & this on just 4 color CGA IBM XT and it was already so fun! We weren't able to afford an EGA card back then so I can only dream playing TD on 16 colours XD. Now almost 20 years later, I can play them on an Amiga emulator with almost VGA colours along with realistic sounds, I also feel like I'm playing it first time in full color even after 2 decades lol.

[Xijo22]

cool

[superallye]

Pinoy Power!

Ayos ba! ;)

[Tomj2110]

Nigel is a prat and woke Grampy up at 1am in 1991 by reving his Honda 700 in the back garden at Tetbury Street.Grampy told him off by taking the key out then he dragged Nigel off the bike and locked it the garage then told Nigel to get to bed.What a naughty man Nigel was.

[depredador171]

this game is good but watch GUNBOAT ACCOLADE RIVAR COMBAT SIMULATION,is the best game of accolade!!!watch it(in youtube)

[campenedo]

este juego esta muy bien pero, gunboat accolade es el mejor!

[Freestyler13456]

=))...big leg...=))

[ram2k]

omg, a 15 yr's flashback just ocurred on me... that music... barbarian, outrun and that game were my favorites those times. thanks bro,

[Hungarista88]

Google for "planet emulation" lots of old AMIGA games can be found there

[JJMonty91]

Don't you have Grand Prix Unlimited????

I'd love to see that game again!

[superallye]

I have it but my it won't run on my LCD because of it's low resolution. You can download that on the net free now.

[JJMonty91]

would you mind sending me a link please? i use to have it on floopy before it broke, then bought a CD of it but it was a USA version,

thx =]

[TALyeah]

[superallye]

Cool! Glad to see a fellow Amiga fan =D

[gamersath]

[Ipwnulikeanoob]

Very nice graphics u got there ;-)

[Dorispeed]

very nice game....

[ItsjustagameNUB]

WOUW! Amazing graphics, looks like Directx10 to me!

[superallye]

Sarcasm =win! Spelling of WOW =Fail

[ItsjustagameNUB]

Jesus christ, what a retard you are. There's many ways of spelling "WOW", some prefer "wauw" some prefer "wow" (mostly World of Warcraft geeks), and others (like myself) prefer "wouw". Dont teach me about english you imbecil!

I dont even think you can find the word "wow" in a dictionary.

[superallye]

Ability to give a joke comment =Win

Ability to take a joke comment =FAIL

Temper Tantrum = -1

tsk,tsk ;)

[ItsjustagameNUB]

Is that all you can do? Anyways arguing over the internet is like "The Special Olympics", even if you win you're still a retard... ^^

[superallye]

Ur right, I can't rebut that, that means you just won this argument

[ItsjustagameNUB]

indeed, but read closely "even if you" that means you are also a retard :) A loosing retard, and ill rather be a winning retard than a loosing retard.

[superallye]

Yeah I'm fine with being loosely, a retard than winning for being one thank you ^_^

[Merudo]

This video just sent me into nostalgia overload!! Thankyou so much :)

[technoshock11]

Very good racer from Accolade/DSI, I had it when I was (very) young. This is kind of a sequel to Grand Prix Circuit (loved it too, very similar but with F1 cars this time).

There was another excellent bike racer game on the Amiga, that was RVF Honda.

[edirvined]

i loved it ten years ago and i still love it. my father bring it to me.

[superallye]

Dude what are you talking about. Even 10 years ago this is already very old lol.

[skingraph666]

that kicks ass i would still play that...hahaha and you nerds are arguing over which game system is better.. gimme a break.

[Maverickas123]

that game is awesome for 1989!!!

[shady3077]

looks like the amiga sux. no racing game on the genesis is this bad. pls correct me if i'm wrong.

[superallye]

Like I said before to each is own. I can't correct you if you're a hardcore Genesis fan XD just as you can't correct if I think the Genesis is inferior to the Amiga IMO ;)

[shady3077]

i watched this video when i was half asleep so i didn't here the noises at the beginning. where do they come from? (i've never seen an amiga).

about inferiority (if there's any word like that), i say the amiga sux cos all the games i've seen on it are inferior compared to the same games on the genesis. am i wrong?

[superallye]

What games? All you saw is Test Drive II and even that pwns your Genesis version in terms of Graphics, number of tracks & cars but you seem to never understand it...or you can't accept it?

[shady3077]

hey, i'm back again.

why should your console's floppy drive make so much noise if it was indeed better than the genesis?

[superallye]

Hey Sup Shady dude lol ur back! This is not a console but an Amiga computer emulator & there is an option to turn on or off the floppy sound effects. It's just there for nostalgia effect ;) Sorry if it bothered you I'll turn it off now, hehe...

[shady3077]

nice. so the amiga did make noise huh? so it still holds that the genesis is way better than the amiga.

how do you record your games?

[superallye]

Dude, ANY computer with floppy will make that noise and becos of that it makes the genesis better? LOLOLOLOLOLOL!

My games are recorded via video capture software. Google gamecam

[shady3077]

well, my dad's old PCs never made that kind of noise so one can say the amiga was manufactured from substandard materials. that, my friend, makes the genesis superior to your noise-making miga.

thanks for the info.

[superallye]

Oh sorry I forgot to mention, you can also adjust the volume of the floppy sound from the emulator, a definite plus feature of retro coolness emulation;) Of course if you think it's actually that loud, then nothing shouts more n00b of you than that. XD In case you don't know too, any cartridge based system doesn't make any noise whilst reading.

[shady3077]

lol. yeah, no cartridge-based console makes noise. that fact buttresses my point that the miga is in fact, inferior to the genesis cos the miga manufacturers found it too expensive to use a HDD system. they had to settle with what they could afford which was substandard.

[superallye]

If I were you I'd do a research sport ;) Amiga being a computer of course it has a HD. It's pointless debating with you since;

1.You think a floppy noise is THAT loud

2.You don't research & just assume the Amiga have no hard drive & jump to baseless conclusions.

3.What's next you gonna say? That Genesis is better becos it has the 32x & Sega CD expansion systems that flopped? XD

With these points of yours I find it unnecessary to even prove how more simple & better the Miga is. The End ^_^

[shady3077]

my last comment is a testimony to what alcohol can do to anybody. i was long gone down the road when i wrote that, i'm really surprised i was able to type without making any errors. the period btwn the original genesis & the dreamcast was one of terrible failure for SEGA, no argument on that. how would you compare the sales of the genesis & the miga?

[Hungarista88]

Floppy drive noises

[shady3077]

thanks.

what console do you think is better, the genesis or the amiga?

[Hungarista88]

Oops, there will be a flame war if i declare that either is better than the other XD

Genesis used ROM's, anyway it was called Sega Megadrive in Europe. Amiga loaded games from floppy at its time, because hdd were too expensive and difficult to install games which were meant to play from floppy. (needed to set the loading paths to hdd with utilities, etc.)

[Hungarista88]

But the Amiga were faster, since it had a better architecture, and had more colors...

[shady3077]

okay, you've done it. you made me mad. how dare you declare the amiga a better console? x)

[Ch4m3l30n]

You know it's going to be lame when you hear the floppy drive in the background.

This game is WAY better in real life... Except the crashes... Those are less painful in the games.
