Rad Racer Reviewed: Car Speeds Debunked and 3D Video

http://bit.ly/3zv2t A review of RAD RACER, the old school NES game from 1987. We look at gameplay, all the music and the 3D video option. We also split screen and do a side-by-side comparison of the Ferrari and F1 to settle the debate over which car is faster.

I sure hope I am not the only one that noticed that the first radio song is the same song the Homestarrunner guys use as Stinkoman's theme song.

The 3D doesn't work. The sky appears to be in the distance, but is impossible to focus on, and the rest remains unchanged. Just look at the road, they just made it brown. For the 3D to work, you would see a blue and red offset getting larger as the road got further into the distance.

I thought the actual difference between Ferrari and F1 was not the speed, but rather the more and meaner obstacles. :p

I dusted off my 3D glasses for this... MAN was I disappointed.

And I played the Rad Racer on the Gameboy Color.

And Square Soft made this? For real?

going faster gives more points, but what about equal distance?

Uh, excuse me, everyone....not to veer off the topic at hand, but why the hell is a video about vaginal childbirth in the suggestions? I've thought about it for an embarrassingly long time, and can't think of a single connection between Rad Racer and vaginal childbirth. Can someone please enlighten me?

Watching you try to play this is an entirely new level of frustration. Can't grab the controller and say, "Watch how I do it," I just gotta watch you ignore the signs, rub against the other cars and not bother with the best part of the game, the music. Makes me wanna pull my hair out.

if the timer runs out your momentum may be helpful if you are near the checkpoint

I dig the Canadian accent, but you're not very good at this game. If you wanna stage select, press B until the colorful RPM meter represents the stage number you want, then press both^> A. Very honest review. Thanks Dr.
