The Conclusion to the first half.

Ended up using 4 mabye 5 retries in total, before I beat this game. My Aim was to at least beat it in less than 10 attempts.

Despite that, I beat the game regardless.

Anyone familiar with this game will know that it's not always possible to predict when the cars will jump infront of you, especially when you're going fast. The second half proves that point.

Enjoy.

Ever tried sideswipeing cars on deep turns to get extra time to turn?

[DarkValentine1984]

yeah, that was actually before trying this recording. it didn't work all the time, and since i kept messeing that up, i refrained from doing it.

I respect you so much- you know why? Because you played the game for real. Not like these other "Playthrough People" who would've set their emulator to "Can go through all other cars, can go through every tree and sign without causing a crash, and No time limit on courses" to have "beaten" the game.

[DarkValentine1984]

thanks, i don't like to cheat if i'm doing a direct playthrough on a game. because it takes the fun out of it.

This is the kind of stuff Dreams are made of. WOW. I can only imagine the rush you felt at the end of that run when you barely sputtered past the last flag coasting.

[DarkValentine1984]

Dude, that's exactly what I felt. I was praying seriously hard that the car would make it to the finish line. Knowing it has to pass 4 flags for it to offically cross it.

That was a rush that I haven't felt in years of playing this game. As they say, expect the unexpected ;)

Stop crashing & dyin so I can listen to the cool music! >:D

[Dragonsamuari]

Those slow sliding finishes are always epic. You think "Oh damn I lost" *sliiiide BIIIZZOOP!* "OH CRAP I'M STILL IN!" *hits gas*

That slow finish in the final track was pure win.

[makokun9]

Oh, those camn kamikaze cars...

I hated them the most.

[GaianBlackShadow2011]

@8:48 green car 4 the win lol xD

[OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSONIC]

@DarkValentine1984 then how did you get to continue?

[16ddiaz]

mis respetos por que yo llego hasta esa pista no la puedo pasar y no llego a pasar la ultima meta parcial

[MetalSmasherGaming]

Sometimes I find myself saying the same thing to the cars in this game as I do to real cars on the road: "Pick a lane, bub!"

[GT4GTR]

This game plays heaps fast. I have the PAL version which is like 20% slower. see my vid of level 1 to see what i'm talking about...

[godgirlsguitars]

Lol. We're about to take up this whole page. :p

[MK19MODIII]

I dont think its us growing out of them really. I enjoy the hell out of the new games today with superb graphics and astounding atmospheres. Truth is, for me at least, it brings back the days of my youth where bills and taxes and work were a foreign concept. Also, they are really challenging. Its just plain clean fun. I miss the days of going to the rollerskating rink and playing pacman and asteroids with my buddies..OH..and Zaxon!! LOL..i believe i uttered my first public swear word at that one

[godgirlsguitars]

I heard that! :) I agree with you. They just don't make games as fun as they did for the Nes and Snes. I don't know if I'm growing out of video games or what. I had such a blast playing these old games as a kid and still pick them up.

[MK19MODIII]

I'm fortunate enough to never havin to worry about flooding. That must have been a real pain!. I still have the original system my parents bought for me when we could barely afford anything back in the 80s and it still works fine. I'm just trying to collect the games i never got to buy when i was a kid and before my next system showed up which was a Playstation. LOL.. i get mad at these new games and go pick up the A and B buttoned NES controller and have a damn ball! gotta love simplicity
