Here in northern Italy literally every single arcade place had at least one of these. It was in a different cabinet though, something covered in a silver plastic. It was so popular because the scooter featured in the game depicts the Dragster, a widely known model from the Italian "Italjet Moto" factory. The Dragster (and other Italjet models like the "Formula" had a forkless front suspension, very unusual for motorcycles. So imagine being the 17yo me, riding with my Italjet Dragster to the local arcade, to play a game where you ride an Itajet Dragster. I'M A RADIKAL BIKER!!!

[@LyonsArcade]

That's pretty cool Marco, over here hardly anybody has scooters so it's a little different but it's very fun!

[@DSMTheEditor]

Man, World Rally and Radikal Bikers was a big part of my arcade childhood

[@Dial999]

I loved playing this game so much. Only ever saw it at one arcade and used to ride the buses for over an hour to go and play it. Luckily, they also had some of my other favorite games.

[@LyonsArcade]

That's pretty cool, I knew this game must have had some real fans around somewhere :) Thanks for watching Kyle!

[@Mnpctech_Giveaway_PC_Mods]

Just came back to tell you that Pizza song is still in my head 30 minutes after watching this.

[@LyonsArcade]

Very, very catchy! Livin' on My Own.... waitin' by the phone.... pizza's gettin' cold......

Fun fact: This arcade game is featured in the 1999 film, Titus

[@RalonsoF1]

Maaaan, what is this funny! 🤣🤣🤣 Never seen such a entertaining arcade game hahaha soo cool!! Great!! Super video, Dude!! Love it!! 👍👍😃

[@LyonsArcade]

Yeah it's pretty fun, lol very cool game. Not very well respected but I always liked it!

[@spidermcgavenport8767]

I miss seeing Dual screen The Simpsons and Marvels X-Men game cabinets, Gauntlet Legends by Atari, was my all time favorite quad player cabinet.

[@LyonsArcade]

That's very cool, I've never seen the dual screen Simpsons one. Lots of cool cabinets in the 90's.

[@pcostel1]

Joe's Classic Video Games I don’t believe there ever was a dual screen Simpsons.

[@fireoil]

Memories man. Thank you

[@joseluki]

Gaelco was a Spanish based arcade company that made some great arcade games during the 90s.

[@LyonsArcade]

Yeah they did some pretty cool stuff!

[@theblackbaron4119]

I would give my left arm for those cabinets. Back in my arcade days i played this game so much.

[@MrNintendokid45]

I was hoping that you would talk about the crazy story of how their were too many mk4 cabinets. So atari just took those cabinets put radikal bikers art over the mk4 art from the factory. My buddy mike has one and tore the side art so we can get a cheap mk4 cab. Love what you guys do and watch your videos all the time

[@LyonsArcade]

I didn't know that story! Pretty cool.

[@JetFire0422]

Never heard of this game or saw it before. I wish I did though. Looks fun

[@LyonsArcade]

It was kind of at the end of the glory days, a lot of people probably weren't going to the arcades anymore....

[@JomasterTheSecond]

Some converted cabs, neat! I kinda prefer the custom dedicated cab for this one, a big bright silver thing which is the European one, and seems to be what we got here in Australia after some quick research.

[@Arcade_Jon]

I have the European version of this cabinet with the plastic sides. Green on one side, red on the other. Very popular in Spanish holiday resorts. I got it very cheap.

[@LyonsArcade]

That sounds cool, I've never seen one.

[@Arcade_Jon]

@@LyonsArcade heaviest and most unwieldy cabinet I own. Fun game though.

[@sharpester7277]

The game was done by a Spanish developer called Gaelco who also made Smashing Drive.

[@joeyclemenza7339]

From what I understand is that these were once Mortal Kombat 4 cabinets.... but sold so terribly, they ended up selling them to Atari. Atari then sold them to Gaelco. They used the Mortal Kombat guts and plugged in their own PCB and Bike Control....and basically made Radical Bikers. At least that’s what I heard in Jon’s Arcade

[@LyonsArcade]

I believe that is true!

[@Skeemaster]

This game looks so tough ! Great vid =)

[@LyonsArcade]

I had it set on regular, too, it wasn't even on hard!

Good video Joe´s Merry Christmas

[@LyonsArcade]

Thanks Wilder, Merry Christmas to you too!

[@RalonsoF1]

Unfortunately I can't come by but at least I can watch your videos! And this was soo funny! 👍👍👍😆😆

[@LyonsArcade]

We'll see you on the next one Ralonso, thanks for watching!

[@pauljs75]

I remember seeing that game before. I think it had some aspects of other racing games of the time too. Like you could get bonus outfits or tracks if you knew how to tap the codes in before starting the game, and there were things like the power or boost start if you timed the stage countdown just right. Tricky game though, even though the song was catchy. The camera mic doesn't quite do it justice. Also to really get anywhere in the game you had to get most of the power-ups, so you had to learn the tracks a bit.

[@LyonsArcade]

Yeah I couldn't quite get it down good enough to beat it :) Fun game though, and they have a good looking cabinet too...

[@1Soniccool]

Gaelco also did a Crazy Taxi like game called Heavy Driven

[@LyonsArcade]

I've played that one, I used to operate games and they had some of those. Very fun game!

[@1Soniccool]

Joe's Classic Video Games Namco did the console port of the game

[@LawmanIL]

Such a random name for a game about delivering pizza

[@gabrieledicesare8502]

Infact in italy was called "Speedy Pizza"

[@danvanvoorst7329]

Great video! Fun Game!

[@LyonsArcade]

Thanks for watching Dan!

[@danvanvoorst7329]

@@LyonsArcade your welcome. Enjoy working on my own arcade games too.

[@pcostel1]

The theme song from this game has been burned into my memory. Outta my way, I’m a radical man!

[@LyonsArcade]

My favorite part is he says "Livin on my Own... Sittin' by the phone... Pizza's goin' cold..... "

[@tenjuna]

VGA cable would have worked if all 15 pins had wires...however on a standard VGA pin 9 is a key and may not have a wire connected. Plus pins 12 and 13 are sync and could be tied together if its a cheap cable. If you made your own vga cable where all 15 pins went to the corresponding pins on the other end it would work fine.

[@LyonsArcade]

I believe you're right, in the manual it says to get the cables from them because only high quality cables work. I think the pin 12 and 13 thing may have been it...

[@dcast777]

Joe's Classic Video Games you can get those connectors and build your own connector, I can’t imagine it would be that difficult.

[@yugghggyfg3755]

Fantastico

[@LyonsArcade]

Thanks Yuggh!

[@gabrieledicesare8502]

In Italy we had it and its knowed with "Speedy Pizza" name

[@amnril]

Great game, a variation on the Crazy Taxi idea. I wonder what the underlying arcade board is.

[@LyonsArcade]

It's very similar to the one in Surf Planet, it comes in a metal case, I don't remember what system it's called. I've never had to work on one, they're pretty reliable! Thank you for watching Neil, as always.

[@adidas1984x]

I’d buy it

[@haywoodyoudome]

Why is a missing cable always a show stopper for people? Use a multi-meter for continuity to see which pin is which on each end. Get some DB-15 ends and make a cable.

[@LyonsArcade]

We're just not as smart as you haywoodyoudome. Hey haywood, did you notice you watched a 30 minute long video and your only comment was to bitch about something you feel you could do better? Think about how you're living your life, I really don't care because i'll never see you again but you probably do this crap to the people you know, and it probably causes you issues you're not quite smart enough to notice. Just a thought. I'll get right on that cable though buddy.

[@shonuff8880]

Whish I could by this arcade machines, as well as Sega Rally Championship 2.

[@LyonsArcade]

I'd like to get one of those Rally Championship 2's in those were great games!

[@getinge]

Just started watching through your videos and I love them. About the link cable. Wouldn't you be able to just measure the pins on each connector with the continuity tester with the fluke? That should tell you which pin goes where.

[@LyonsArcade]

I did that, and they were all connected straight through... so I figured it was just a normal connector (VGA cable)... but when I plugged one of those in, it didn't work... so a guy online was telling me (comment may be below) that there are a couple pins on the cable on a monitor that do the same thing, so some manufacturers join those together and just run one line. Makes it slightly cheaper to make... and on a continuity test it still tests connected, but it's connected to two other pins too. So I think the answer to the whole thing is if you have a cable that is absolutely 15 seperate wires straight through, it works.... which is why the extension worked fine, they probably build them that way not knowing what you'll use them for :)

[@getinge]

@@LyonsArcade That would explain it :) Thanks for all your great videos. Keep it up! :)

[@Hyperchaosbringer]

I agree it's entertaining.

[@LyonsArcade]

Very fun to play, great song, LOL

[@jaspa6594]

hey joe i know this is off topic but on my clean sweep 7th gen claw machine the gantry wheels for left to right are spinning out and not gripping the rails i was thinking mabey i should sand it with 36 grit sand paper to give it more to grab on but i don't want to hurt my machine any tips thanks joseph

[@LyonsArcade]

Is it missing the belts? What we usually do is clean the bars really good and also check to see if they're bent.

[@jaspa6594]

@@LyonsArcade what belts do you mean? the ones that spin the wheels? if so those are there but when the claw is far away from them it just spins out the bar is not bent

[@NathanielStauber]

Order a pair of DE-15 plugs and you should be able to make your own link cable.

[@LyonsArcade]

I think I figured it out and on SOME cheapo cables, a couple of the wires are combined together because they do the same thing.... but if it's a perfect 15 for 15 cable it works.

[@kmabru]

@@LyonsArcade It could also be that it's like a LAN cross-over cable.

[@rarecoolitems]

This game looks like crazy taxi, and it looks fun. I wonder if it’s on mame

[@LyonsArcade]

Yeah it's definitely got that Crazy Taxi idea going on. Check out one we did called "Frenzy Express" a few months ago, it's a complete ripoff of Crazy Taxi with a scooter!

[@lobsterman5786]

Joe, do you have any pins for sale for pick up in Rock Hill currently? I’m coming thru the area in two weeks on my way to Florida from PA. Looking for an old Baseball machine or a Williams pin around 1990. Or just about anything.

[@memyopinionsche6610]

Is it me or in the pizza man song do they keep saying. Fuck yeah? Like. Pepperoni... fuck yeah! Habanero... Fuck yeah!

[@LyonsArcade]

I can't tell about half what he's saying but yes it could be :)

[@FingerinUrDaughter]

ever get your hands on some virtual on cabinets? theres a lasertron near me that has like 20 of them in a row all linked together. id go there to play them but theres never anyone in the arcade area.

[@LyonsArcade]

Tetra i've never had one... they've got 20 of them???? Killer.....

[@FingerinUrDaughter]

@@LyonsArcade something like that, not sure of the exact number but its an entire wall full of linked virtual-on machines thats about 30-40 feet long. id love to get a look at the inside of one of those, as they have so much going on with the moving seats, gas pedals, levers, etc. though im sure the later versions simplified things for the better.

[@LyonsArcade]

We've got some Daytona USA videos here on the channel where we go over it, they used a similar setup. Very complex!

There was going to be a sequel to this game, but unfortunately it was cancelled. Only some character designs were made.

[@LyonsArcade]

Fleshed out a little more it would be a real nice game.

[@carlw.8671]

Pcb or cd rom?

[@cmdrleto]

Link cable sounds alot like a crossover cable.

[@LyonsArcade]

I think we decided that some VGA cables combine a couple of the lines, if you find a high quality one that all 15 lines connect straight through and none of them are combined, it works.

[@ld3640]

Back then Midway(independent) bought only Atari as Atari games from Warner Bros. , While hasbro bought the Atari home division from it's technologies/Jack tramiel and family then later Midway went bankrupt , Midway and Atari games both got bought by Warner Bros. Ended the Atari games marketing license and others(Bally/Williams) too renamed Midway as Warner Bros. games or Midway games(confused ?) So am I later infogrames(Bruno bonell) bought the Atari home marketing name & rights from hasbro renamed infogrames as "Atari" later things gotten bad he'd quit the company changed hands many times became bankrupt (again) later bought my Frederic chenais of France kept the company as Atari for now . basically Midway now is either Warner Bros. Games or Midway games depends on product(it's kinda goofy),Atari games arcade division is not in business from midway's bankruptcy/Warner Bros. Buyout while other Atari home games division might or might not be owned by Fred chenais guy(I don't know really) be anyway just giving you the heads up on the business oh btw gaelco is pronounced as(gay-el-co)

[@LyonsArcade]

Thanks for the info Chris, I knew it was complicated :)
