Arcade Longplay [429] Fast Lane

[@RSK412]

Those sounds! That guitar wail! So 80's.

Looks like a fun game !

[@spikeriley]

Looks like Pac-Man and Gradius had a love child.

[@Seadragon77]

and then the love child met up with cars, monster trucks, babes and cheesy 80's music.

More like head on and gradius

Konami took a couple of arcade standards at the time and tried to update them. Fast Lane = Pac Man Battlantis = Space Invaders.

I JUST tried this game tonight after hours of playing Jaleco's City Connection--Spike was right about Pac-Man and Gradius. This game is just WAY too crazy. And the beach waves crashing sound on the Stage Clear screen reminds me of SEGA's OutRun. Also, is it just me, or is Konami obsessed with red cars? In almost every Konami driving game from this era, it seems the player's car is always red. I'm just curious. Keep up the good work.

+D.F. Williams (PlayerWM86) I think the red cars were just for visibility's sake (i.e. red is easier to see against the backgrounds).

It's a revmaped version of Dodge 'Em! XD

[@gordontaylor2815]

+ReccaWolf At least this version doesn't screw you over like Dodge 'Em does: www.digitpress.com/eastereggs/26dodgeem.htm

[@TimelordR]

Another rare game from Konami. How do you guys manage to find such rarities?

[@RocMegamanX]

That music sounds way too advanced for 1987...

[@gordontaylor2815]

Game has 25 tracks/layouts that loop endlessly if you clear them all. Player suicides to end game after clearing them all once.
