Classic Game Room - GRAN CHASER (Cyber Speedway) for Sega Saturn review

[ToricoUK]

Loved this game, painful to watch him hit a wall every 2 seconds. It's so awesome cruising full speed to the great soundtrack.

[edotsuki333]

i love sega saturns cheesy 3d power! thats whats life is all about!

[kadonttreadonme]

this game looks extremely crisp for a saturn game

[ps3specter]

Reminds me of a weaker version of Wipeout.

[hornylink]

don't forget to check out wipeout as well, the PSP ones are sweet.

[vittau]

I expect most games released these days aren't going to age well either... Mainstream games like CoD and stuff.

Seriously, can you imagine yourself two decades ahead, picking up any mainstream game released these days to play? Well I don't.

[gundamzerostrike]

F-Zero X on the N64 is MUCH better than all modern futuristic racing. So you don't need powerfull system, you just need a N64.

[edotsuki333]

@gundamzerostrike

n64 is more powerfull then sega saturn...

[classof77]

Draw distance on these Saturn 3D racers kind of sucks. See also Daytona.

Or rather, see also "DAYYY-TOOO-NAAA!!" (we're gonna win)

[rchrdcrg]

@classof77 lol, I always wondered why it's so hard for someone to learn at least a dozen english words and pronounce them properly... he actually says "let's go away" instead of "we're gonna win", but then again it sounds like he's screaming Day-Bone-A anyway... it's not like the words make sense... "I wanna fry-y-y sky high... it's go-o-o-one to get bah"? Like really, what the hell is he singing in Blue Skies anyway?

[heezdedjim]

I hate it when someone throws up on my head.....

[BazzBrother]

feel my Goal

IIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[MAGAIVER]

I remenber borrowing this game from a friend in 1996 I loved it to death. Finally bought it last year after so many years of not playing it and it did feel quite dated and not as exciting as it used to be. The music still rocks though, from the video it seems like the Japanese version has a fferent soundtrack, cyber speedway has an awesome rock 'n roll soundtrack.

[DaveTheSodaGuy0]

I"m just wondering what's so shocking and immoral in the Gran Chase title that they have to change it to Cyber Speedway...

[Locke554]

looks somewhat interesting...but those graphics are just so choppy that I wouldn't try to play it again...

[dogeymon83]

I'm sure many Saturn fans know about this title. It was featured on some of the demo discs you got with the later saturns. I thought it was cool, but yeah, the graphics were pretty muddy even back in the day.

HAHA the WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!! Goes off each and every time an enemy lobs a missile at you.. After a while, I wish it would just say "Warning Infinity"

[NerdKore64]

Yeah I'll take Wipe Out any day of the week. Funny review though.

[Carbonized433]

Looks similar to wipEout, IMO a better series.

[MrCoolManTim]

The music is so cool in this game!

[frickfrock999]

3:42

BAHAHAHAHA!

N00bs....

[VuRRsus]

You should test Wipeout series rather than this game

[rudorot65]

what is that the real words or or are yu putting that in fur humor

[PhyA52]

I had the american version and I don't think it had a story at all.

[NinjaNidoking]

this needs a wii-make

[jupreindeer]

I remember picking up a PSx first wave flight game that had graphics pop up issues a hundred times worse then this one.

[therangersrule68]

if this is japanese, how are you playing it on your american saturn?

[The2143]

@therangersrule68 He has a 4-in 1 card that let him play Japanese imports

[Bdizz2012]

Nice review. Only complaint I have is that you said "polygon based game" when it is known that the Sega Saturn renders quadrilaterals.

[notlikewithernie]

@Bdizz2012

A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides.

[Bdizz2012]

@notlikewithernie I know, It just isn't well known that it can't render triangular polygons, only quadrilateral ones.

[notlikewithernie]

@Bdizz2012 Well, quadrilateral polygons AND awesome polygons.

[nakedmolerat43]

mad skillz bro.

throwin down

[Vinny792]

HMM? I wonder if Alien eyeball tequila cocktails go well with a LORD KARNAGE SANDWICH!!!

[Madmonkeythegreat]

Oh it was saying warning I thought it was saying quradrghaya

[GoreCrowVII]

OY! Why didn't he mention F-Zero?! I know he doesn't like the N64, but come on! That's no excuse to exclude a game of the same genre from the same time period! Especially since it was so much better than this game...

[thepoke3000]

cock-TAIL

[Broyale26]

BUTT FIRST!

[KRbertsproduck5]

Looks like pulse

[Ironscimitar]

This game looks pretty cool.

[AlfredRusselWallace]

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING

[sugreev2001]

Never heard of this game.Looks like caterpillar racing.

[spencerisgod1990]

FUCK OFF KANE AND LYNCH ADVERT!!!!!

[Jimmyofthepages]

Haha I lol'd at 3:43 NUBES

[xxdxfanforeverxx]

Wipeout for Sega Saturn was amazing!

[GilucZ]

Nice

[wesso20o]

Looks like Star Wars: Episode I Racing. Hahaha

[bjoran83]

Damn Mohammed in Quatar has a lot of spare games to donate!

[ZblueboltZ]

@bjoran83 My guess is he gets finished with them and, really you don't get much money from selling your own games.

[ShinmaRyuu]

I am about as far from a graphics whore as you can get but man i dislike 95' choppygon games. I thinks this is where i get my irrational hate for a lot of PS1 games :D.

[AplG7Rocks]

I wanna tried this game and those tequila eyeballs!

[Astaticembrace]

uploadd 16 hours ago and already 2,515 views and lots of comments?!  CGR is really getting popular. =D

[HLM190586]

@Astaticembrace

It's not getting popular, it's is popular.

[9esferas1]

@bag04u no, they arent

[moshXpit91]

Reminds me of an early early version of Extreme-G for N64

[Jefftrigwell2]

This game reminds me of the first wipeout to playstaton.

[StinkyJoesRandom]

Is that the real storyline? LOL!!

[Madnesscom9]

@StinkyJoesRandom Lolwut, No

[oldcarlover14]

that looks baaaaaadddd

[poliv67]

Gosh, even DOOM looks better than this!

[TheCatandOwlandBat]

I will loan my FZ-10 top-loading Panasonic 3DO to CGR if only it makes you do reviews for it.

[CptBubblez]

@TheCatandOwlandBat lend some games too



[TheCatandOwlandBat]

@CptBubblez Well my 3DO collection is fairly small right now, so if I was to loan it, I think I'll wait until I've collected more games.

[Gunnanator]

No... it's cock-TAILS

[crazyfooInc]

WipeOut HD on PSN is another contender for a much better current version of this game ^_^

[snerblemeister]

at 3:34 the maps name is nubes...as in noobs

[funkymonkey0426]

vectrex version coming soon?

[TheLoadingScreenz]

@funkymonkey0426 Let's hope so.

[weeklywalkthrough]

wait were you being warned by the goal sign lol

[RenegadeFury]

Lol I have this game, American verison Cyber Speedway.

[DEFkon001]

Oh looks like on this version your missing out on the custom US sound track by the "Bygone Dogs". Never heard of them? I'm not surprised. Imagine playing this game listening to Country / Bluesy rock. Yeeee HAAWWW!

[felipebrasil5]

man why to make a review about this cock sucker ass game?!

[IIIJFRIII]

is this the game they played in hackers?

[PlanetDeltroy]

yay, I got this video to 100 likes and 0 dislikes!!!

[superstickman42]

one of your best reviews mark!

[JZilla001]

@Tierehl hahaha xD

[EmeraldWarrior420]

@videoshirt

Wow, you missed a lot of awesome games then. Some of the best ever are from that era.

[EmeraldWarrior420]

@videoshirt

If you say so. Your loss.

[JZilla001]

@TheGenesisfan93 lawl = laughing a whole lot :)

[JZilla001]

@Ragatosk lawl = laughing a whole lot -_-

[rynoboy007]

@JZilla001

I never knew that. I thought it was the same as "lol."

Fuck improper internet grammar anyway it makes people look less intelligent.

[JZilla001]

@rynoboy007 haha true

[Ostnizdasht206]

It's like a 1995 Star Wars Pod-racer.

[JZilla001]

@Tierehl lawl stands for laughing a whole lot -_-

[Tierehl]

@JZilla001 Lamas are winning Lamps. :3

[VicGeorge2K6]

Wipeout and Extreme G look better than this.

[TheGenesisfan93]

I fucking hate my computor its gotta stop and load every 5 fuckin seconds, its gonna take all night to watch this review......FUCK!

[Trisnice]

@TheGenesisfan93 its not the computer the problem ... its the connection 

[TheGenesisfan93]

@Trisnice what connection, like wires or something. I did find out if I press pause for a while then play it does alright.

[Trisnice]

@TheGenesisfan93 your internet connection is slow so it take time to load vids ... thats why when you press pause it work ... it gives the vids time to load

[Neawoulf]

Argh, most much older 2d racers look much better ... i can't even see what's in front of me ... is it the the right way on the track or is it just a bottle full of ... alien eyeballs?

[leoviper]

Is it on Vectrex Virtual Console?

[Monacomaverick]

This game has the most retarded looking characters I have ever seen in anything, period. At first I thought there only five tracks, but after suffering through the story mode I realised that other tracks had become available, which makes the game worth owning.

[muvrrey]

i'd rather play F-Zero X for the nintendo 64 ;)

[negativefps]

You should review the Star Wars racing game. It was reallygreat

[TooPerwin]

The alien (3:50) looks like Donald Duck who got shred to pieces during the race, when walking on the tracks...those ducks nowadays...

[oneupdawg]

Muhammad in Katar(sp?) is great. Props to you, man. You got some great rare games.

[djklink20009]

reminds me of Extreme G

also has anyone heard of a game called Tube i used to play it on windows 3.1

[clouds5]

what was the resolution like on those saturn 3d games? 320x240? must be kinda hard to watch at with one of those huge hdtv screens^^

[djklink20009]

@clouds5 heheh would look like one small square or one giant pixel :D

[TheGenesisfan93]

@djklink20009 what does :D stand for.

[Tierehl]

@TheGenesisfan93 Lawl....... It's a Big Smile

[TheGenesisfan93]

@Tierehl You mean if you look at it sideways? what the hell does Lawl stand for or is that just a typo.

[Tierehl]

@TheGenesisfan93 Not a Typo, Lawl is the same as Lol, It doesn't stand for anything

[Ragatosk]

@TheGenesisfan93 That is basically the pronounciation for "lol". They type lawl just for fun. Anyways, in case you don't know what "lol" means.

lol = laugh out loud

which is... obviously, laughing

Instead of saying haha on the internet, you'd say various things as lol, lawl, rofl, lmao.

However, people tend to take things to another level and type roflcopter, lmaonade, etc. etc.

Same thing for :D ..... there are various symbols to express a happy face, such as xD, xP, ;P, x3 , etc. etc.

[TheGenesisfan93]

@Ragatosk damn your smart. Thanks for explaining it all, I just got a youtube account like 2 weeks ago I know nothing about internet slang. Who the hell started all this anyway and how did it catch on so quickly.

[aikidoman23]

@TheGenesisfan93 Just look at it side ways and it looks like a smily example :D :) :P xD

[TheGenesisfan93]

@aikidoman23 thanks man, I did get the full info from Ragatosk not to long ago, but thanks.

[djklink20009]

@TheGenesisfan93 its a smiley face to compensate my mood

[TheThrashAnvil]

Hm, I feel like I should make a joke about Islam and Mohammad, but that may seem racist or prejudiced... Hmm, a tough one.

[Amaranthus616]

@TheThrashAnvil some jokes are, always will be.....

[nicoman4678]

Mark your voice is soothing like a reviews voice should b. The other guys voice doing some of these reviews makes me feel like I’m being nagged as by a 12 year old.

[timspacedout87]

"Am I being warned about something I'm not too sure(!)"

[randomenvelope]

this is a lot like wipe out series :D

[FloatyPineapple]

Gran Chaser.

Sounds like someone with a grandmother fetish. 

[9esferas1]

futuristic hyper-speed driving games are better with futuristic hyper-power hardware

F-Zero (SNES), Wip3out SE (PSX) and Extreme G2 (N64) are still the best futuristic hyper-speed driving games ever developed, no one single super-futuristic-racing-game-h­yper-power-hardware-based has EVER beat them. They are, indeed, unbeateable

[ExtremeBogom]

@9esferas1

Yer but Gran Chaser isn't trying to "beat" any other game, or be "better" than another game.

It is it's own game.

[9esferas1]

@ExtremeBogom i dont mind Cyber Speedway (at all)

i'm pointing the new generation futuristic racing games, like Wipeout Pure, Pulse, HD, F-Zero Super-Duper and everithing like this. Those 3 games eat this new-generation-hardware-based games

[omgwtfbbq198]

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING.... GOAL IN! lol

[ProtoMario]

Hey the same thing happened to a couple of guys in the army i was with they got dui's and and tried to out race the cops becasue they didnt have money for thier legal fee's.

[Yazoku]

I bet the creaters of wipeout got there ideas from this

[Amaranthus616]

@Yazoku most likely, and this game in turn probably got ideas from stun runner

[ipodxdude]

YO ITS DA POOOOO-LLLLIIIICCCEEE

[CMOODO]

I'm going to get one of thoose cocktails

[0987654321a9]

LOL! At 3:43 its says:

Round 4: Nubes

lol

[theonlyboomer]

also MARK REVIEW ROBOTRON 2084

[kombatmaster12]

@theonlyboomer he already did bro. :)

[DoitForTheLolz1]

@theonlyboomer he already did for at least 5 consoles. just check them out on his channel

[ApplausableGuy]

review the star wars racing game for the nintendo 64

[theonlyboomer]

@ApplausableGuy he did

[SonnyJWright]

@ApplausableGuy he did already

[useless1997]

@ApplausableGuy

They did it already.

[ameno21]

for going 250 km/h your going prety slow

[ApplausableGuy]

mark subtitles ftw!

[72metallicafan]

the poow poow thing is so annoying just from this video.

[Okankiller]

i like the game =)

[jordanv78]

Great review. You know the graphics of the scenery and track aren't that bad for it's time, but what the hell is up with the ship? I mean they might has well put a square blue box as your "racer" I mean it's so bland....

[Amaranthus616]

@jordanv78 hmm, i dunno...there were better looking games at the time....

[jordanv78]

@Amaranthus616 Well....I didn't say they were great I said "they weren't that bad for the time"

[Amaranthus616]

@jordanv78 hmm, i think thay are pretty iffy. even for the time they were made. i guess as long as they drive the point home they arent at all that bad...just blockier than i think they could have been

[heardofrvb]

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

[17R3W]

@3:48 What's wrong with your face?

[alec1382]

God, where's the speed? 300 km/h? I doubt it, maybe 70.

[shaurz]

Gran Chaser sounds like a game about stalking old ladies...

[TheGenesisfan93]

@shaurz laugh out loud, thats funny.

[AnnoyingAssassin]

@shaurz

Then what is Gran Turismo about?

[crazyfooInc]

@shaurz

I laughed quite hard at that ^_^

[Macil2018]

I'm totally reminded of Episode I Racer from this game!

[cyclo1224]

its like a poor mans f zero

[freegamers97]

Draw distance WTF?

[Koopsas]

3:45 Thats how to brush yout teeth like a spartan.

[212809]

Wow, I actually have this game. Its still in my closet. The good thing about Sega Saturn games is that you can simply pop the game into any CD player and you automatically have the game's OST.

[KingDavid73]

I love that weird alien thing at the beginning! lol.... and the super-cheese cut-scenes, the made up story is hilarious.  The game doesn't look too bad, though.

[skittnazzz]

they probably thought "oh in 2010 wer gonna drive around in exactly what we made in this game!"

[Amaranthus616]

@skittnazzz theyve been thinking that for decades....itll never happen, just as well, i dont trust that most people have the common sence to use a flying/hovering vehicle for home use...some people struggle with normal cars

>_>

[assyrian28]

Looks a littel bit like f-zero

[MJHaylett]

Try WipEout HD if you want a futuristic racer :D

[Arexion5293]

Hmm... I don't know which one is better: Wip3out or Wipeout HD and Fury.

[spinja446]

Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning Warning!

[Go4br0keV2]

This looks like a cheap Red Asphalt.

[joemar121]

i think those captions are fake

[emshains]

@joemar121 [In spy's voice from tf2] I think not.

[rynoboy007]

@joemar121

No shit he even says he just made it up....

[emshains]

I am three hundred and FIRST!!!

[GodOfExploding]

I'm 238'th view

[43pow]

Fine I was 16th.....

[computerexpert3]

21st and good review/
