Weekend Rental Ep. 8 - RC de GO! | CGQ+

[@CGQPlus]

Apologies to people who left a comment on the other upload or were in the process of watching it. KZbin obviously wasn't going to get the video processed in HD and I'm not going to let it stay up in 360p-only.

I love the original PlayStation to the degree that I get curious about even the most unassuming and seemingly passable games. I can't get enough of this console. I'm really glad you're feeling better, Chris, and I hope you're able to keep up with that personal goal you set about one upload a week. But I just appreciate any time I see you produce something new, the podcast included. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, my friend.

Back in the 5th gen we got the Saturn first and years later the PS1, the transition from the Mega Drive/SNES to a powerful console that could bring arcades at home, 3D FPS, Fighting, RPGs and many great exclusives made Sega's console quite special and dear to us, so the PS1 didn't have the same impact, but we played it for many years, up to 2003/2004. It has so much stuff yet for us to uncover. It's well known the Saturn did well in Japan, but in actuality, the PS1 stomped it, there are over 2.000 titles left there alone, I mean, not counting over 1.000 titles that shared release over the world, or developed in the West that never made back to Japan. I see many SEGA-centered channels and I always wondered why there's no such thing I could find for the PS consoles, it has an astonishing amount of content to cover, while the Saturn and Dreamcast have both great libraries and many of them exclusives, it should be a no-brainer a dedicated channel to the original PS to be out there. Segaretro.org and now Necretro.org are passionate sites, and while psxdatacenter is great, it lacks the same level of polish and high quality scans, without manuals or magazines, granted, it's maintained by a single guy.

my weekly beer drinking friend . hanging out on weekend rentals is my thing

[@DamnRandall]

Kyosho is another big RC manufacturer like Tamiya. I remember back in my senior year of high school (2001-2002) I bought one of their Mini-Z cars, which is this really cool series of 1/24 scale cars that you can get either RWD or 4WD, and sparked my interest in RC. I never raced "professionally", didn't have the money for that, but I got into 1/10 scale drift cars in the mid to late-2000s (never got that good at them) but I had the most fun with 1/10 scale short-course trucks which are so much fun to drive off-road.

[@skankcor3]

What a fantastic pull for Weekend Rental. I’ve been playing this game off and on with a MiSTer, SNAC adapter, and neGcon; and it is oh so choice.

[@roberto1519]

We had a range of healthy and tactile activities, this episode serves as a reminder those born before the internet became as available as air, we had RC, played hide and seek, practiced sports, skaters, marbles, rollerblades, table football, card games, board games, the golden age of arcade and console that we watched growing with us, iconic TV shows/movies, great music, friends and more. While all the above may sound too colorful and nostalgic from the writer's perspective, we all know that nothing was perfect, just like today, the real contrast is how different the current and next generations are compared to those born in the 80's and before, too different, in fact. You'll always have something to talk about, Chris. There's just too much transformation from that time and today it will be hard for your generation to not talk about something interesting. I'm from '85 and I feel I should have been born in the 1920's or something. Since I was a kid I had this sort of comforting feeling when I visited old houses, watch 20's and 40's movies, and so on. All this reminds me of that 1,50$ hot dog you mentioned in the podcast, that's exactly what I'm talking about. As a side-note, I just reminded watching this Japanese channel the other day, a guy who covers video games and he also seems to enjoy RC cars a lot, controlling the little cool SUV over little rocks, gardens and the such, making a rather long video about it, really cool to see that.

[@joeydavis5568]

Welcome back! Always happy to see a new video from you, sorry to hear about covid but glad to hear you are better. I was on a flashback kick for like 2 weeks straight, need to get back to watching those as well

[@Reluctant_Hero]

I’ve always enjoyed RC racers, but this one is completely new to me. Thanks for introducing it!

[@teen_laqueefa]

Glad you feel better and welcome back

[@jkajmo]

Heck yea my man with another sweet PS1 video! I'll never have enough of Chris's PS1 uploads. Especially doing a gem like this. This is the very first time I've ever seen anyone talk about this game. Sorry to hear you got covid Chris, glad you're okay. I caught it twice, the first time was bad, spent several days in the hospital. Excited to see you do more of these awesome uploads!

[@andrewT23]

I recommend starting your opening greeting with Ahoy!

[@CGQPlus]

Hey that's not a bad idea. Also Chips Ahoy! are God-tier supermarket cookies.

[@eltorpedelocho2984]

I liked on your Flashback eps when you would put a cold-open type clip where you would have a little blooper from the upcoming ep. Not sure if that was unique to that series, but you could do something like that or just say an obscure quote or lyric from something in the game, like “a pool of water!”, and then put your traditional CGQ+ jingle if that’s not too complex.

[@BrickTamlandOfficial]

i love tamiya cars, around 2000 we got into tamiya racing and we got the cars that would travel automatically on the tracks. the local hobby shop had tamiya tournaments and when you won they gave out gift cards. we would upgrade the car and keep winning every tournament until they stopped doing them. good times!

[@GameplayandTalk]

I recently discovered this game. It's a blast! Wish I had it back in the day.

[@ryansease7066]

So, here are some notable weekend rentals I had. They were: Nobunga's Ambition for the NES, Moto Roader for the TG-16, Lakers versus Celtics and the NBA Playoffs for the Genesis, and NHL Hockey for the Genesis. Of the three, only NHL Hockey lead to a purchase of the game. The rest just didn't cut the mustard in one way or another for me. Apart from that, really love the series. Take care and looking forward to many more game examinations yet to come.

[@byronlaw6491]

This game looks perfect relaxation for a Sunday afternoon. Another top episode. Got to love any game also that puts the word tender into one of the track names. In terms of a an opening greeting what about salutations. It’s a nice word not many really use anymore.

[@skywalkerranch]

I had a Tamiya frog back in the day it was an awesome car.

[@MRSAUltraviolet]

You're fine Chris. Which is why I like content, you're just doing your own thing and you should keep it that way.

[@ilyak.6953]

Hey Chris, youre doing a great job, I really enjoy your channels since I discovered them. What do you think about Saturn? Can we get more Saturn content, like magazine read through or weekend rentals? Cheers :)

[@seancunningham5448]

I love all of your content Chris, I especially enjoy your injection of nostalgia before bed and I recently discovered your podcast. I love it all. I've only seen three weekend episodes so far, but at the moment my favorite is the Madden episode, I never owned that version and I really enjoyed your personal commentary about the NFL circa 1990. Here are a few of my suggestions for a weekend rental episode: 1) Pirates! Gold for Genesis, a Sid Meier game. There are many versions, the Apple IIGS version is my personal favorite because of nostalgia and the amazing music. The Genesis version is also great and more accessible, randomly one day my mom bought a used copy for me from Blockbuster - I still have it, it needs a new battery. It's an action/adventure/strategy game. As a young man you become a pirate captain, you do your best to earn fame, gold, land, and overall happiness by rescuing family members and finding a wife - who's personality is directly tied to her beauty. When you retire at the end of the game your new legitimate occupation is determined by how well you accomplished all of these goals. 2) Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire for N64 (I had it for PC) is a third person shooter based on the Legends graphic novel about the time between The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi. 3) Star Wars: Rebel Assault II for PS1 and PC, an action, rail shooter. Very ambitious, you fly ships and complete ground missions. 4) Shadowgate is a point and click game for NES and PC, it might not be your cup of tea but it's an interesting game and it would inspire commentary from you, and you could finish it in a single episode. It's something different.

[@CGQPlus]

Thanks, Sean! Shadows of the Empire would be cool, as I played that one when it came out. I actually did a complete play through of Shadowgate already. Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnbRkqetn6lpj7s

[@seancunningham5448]

@@CGQPlus Awesome, I'll check it out. I had Shadowgate for the Apple IIGS but I never beat it.

[@mik8032]

Great to have you back

[@fernandomartinez4486]

What about: "Wwwwwhat izz up guys! Chris here, back atcha with anooother videooo!" Never gets old 😉

[@sahasrahla7]

I didn't know there were more titles in the "... de GO" series. Not sure how this fits either, but it looks pretty fun. I will definitely have to check it out myself sometime. Unfortunately it seems a bit pricey here in Europe for such a title (~50 bucks cib). Also glad to hear you recovered well from the plague. I came down with a migraine today so I appreciated to have something from you to watch, since your calm demeanor and deep voice are rather soothing. Not getting blasted with game audio was nice too.

[@CGQPlus]

Hope that migraine goes away soon!

[@kind2311]

Saturday surprise! Thanks, Chris!

[@alexshadowfax1119]

I think when your speed increases with upgraded parts that the tracks should increase in size and length to accommodate the faster speeds? Anyways I really enjoyed this weekend rental, thank you for doing these.

[@Flourbag]

This game loads surprisingly quick

[@bpcgos]

The console that I love dearly, part of my sophomore years where I can enjoy games from its story, gameplay deepneess and other aspect I cant enjoy as a NES owner. Also this is the console where devs expertise get better along time graphically especially without any additional hardware. Look at the first Tenchu and the second one, or the more drastic the first Tekken to the third one. Its like magic

[@byronlaw6491]

Fantastic can’t wait to watch this love this series.

[@tims8864]

I think the announcer is Greg Irwin from Street Fighter Alpha 3. RC de GO! isn't listed on his IMDb profile, but the game isn't in the database as an entry at all.

[@neccros007]

Kyosho is a hobby level RC company... Also there is Losi, Associated, Yokomo, HPI.... All high level RC cars.... Tamiya tends to be more the toyish/fun form of RC

[@dallasINtokyo]

You could rip a big fart at the beginning of each show. Haven’t seen anyone else do that. Not even Bithead

[@SteveBrandon]

One minor note about the "de Go" series, Densha de Go was the first with the naming convention but the series in essence dates back all of the way to 1987 with Taito's Midnight Landing, a rather innovative arcade flight simulator with minimalist but effective graphics where the landscape is rendered entirely out of dots representing lights. This was followed in 1988 by a full 3D polygon graphics version, Top Landing, an arcade game that I loved to play as a teenager. (I never saw the original Midnight Landing in Montreal but there were a couple of Top Landing machines in the area.) Then the series became "Landing Gear" before finally becoming "Jet de Go".

[@dr.rexbriefs8564]

I've gotten pretty good at the game with a dpad. I don't have any of the special controllers, but I kinda wanna grab one to try out with this.

[@dr.rexbriefs8564]

Got to watch the VHS copy of the episode, so I have to watch it in HD now to see what I missed.

[@CGQPlus]

Hahah, that's an excellent way to describe it.

[@BrickTamlandOfficial]

intro suggestion: you should say "ok guys you know what time it is" and point at your watch. then each video you can use some different watches and get some watches that are more and more obnoxious looking lol

[@jkajmo]

I have every issue of PSM and have read the first 50 issues extensively over the years, I don't recall ever seeing RC de Go mentioned ever mentioned in the PSM mags.

[@trevorcampbell6326]

The use of nitro engines dates it. Electric technology finally caught up to rc gas engines.

[@MisterDozer]

This looks awesome.

[@chocolocojames213]

Imagine a 24 hours Le Mans but with RC cars 😄😄😄

[@TruthSword7]

Thanks for another great video. This really makes me want to own a playstation! A pool of water!

[@easyislit9028]

Lol so "welcome to another episode of weekend rental" is not a proper opening? 😅😅 Chris you rock.. don't think just start the episode how you feel at the moment.. don't over think it my dude

[@Lasagnaisprettycool]

a pool of water!

[@Marc_Araujo]

Do either Sword of Vermilion or Thunder Force II or both. They were two of the games I got as a kid when I bought my Model 2 Sega Genesis (first console I ever bought with my paper route money) along with Sonic 1 and 2 (that came bundled with the console) and Mortal Kombat. I had never heard of Sword of Vermilion or any of the Thunder Force games but a Kaybee employee recommened them and I lucked out having enough money to get them...and I've loved them both ever since.

[@turbosix]

I was wondering where the first one went 😂

[@teen_laqueefa]

Tanzer for the Genesis, highly recommend

[@panoramaland]

Hope you feel better.

[@ninjasec]

Thanks

[@Lashazior]

"welcome back CGQ+ fans" would probably be fine and not too trope-ish. Similar to Leigh Diffey saying "welcome back race fans" during Indycar broadcasts.

[@andrewT23]

Negcon is awesome

[@jhinson77]

A pool of water!

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

I love this game (does Taito ever fail?). It's truly a hidden gem. People thinking of RC games on PS1 think of Revolt or maybe RC Revenge, but it's rare that I hear someone talk about RC de Go. It's probably good, since the game remains cheapish. This is actually a really good translation of the arcade game.

[@mdgersper]

My fellow Americans

[@alexshadowfax1119]

Can you tell me which playmates star trek character is hanging on the wall?

[@CGQPlus]

That is Captain Dathon from the episode “Darmok”.

[@trevorcampbell6326]

I’ve built plenty of tamiya kits in my lifetime

[@tardis9436]

"Greetings fellow dorks, nerds and non-jocks.........."

[@davidcarmichael4006]

Don’t forget to bring a towel

[@CGQPlus]

To the pool of water?

[@retrogamerrandomness1566]

How about: "Waka waka waka! It's a me, Chris!" J/K. I actually don't think you need to resort to a catch phrase. I feel those are demeaning and a bit disingenuous. People like you're channel due to that fact that you're real and plain to see, and not a caricature. Just my 2 cents.

[@celebrity292]

Thr worst cars had wires attached to the controller.

[@parkandharbourcomedy]

Kid Chameleon

[@jpicard81]

I love rc. Kevin talbot is king of KZbin rc. Rich duperbash is 2nd

Deja vu

[@AliKoksal-b6g]

A brain fart 😂😂😂😂😂

[@duhmez]

oNE of worst wekened rentals I ever did was Anticipation for nES. A good game for multiplayer for asure, but I was alone playing Anticipation aghainst the cpu an that sucks.
