Game Boy Advance Longplay [322] Sega Rally Championship (US)

[@dougggtheoof]

I gotta give it to them, Sega went all out on this port. Even the renditions of the music are pretty good.

[@paolosanchez2927]

Agreed. Never played this port, but I'm actually impressed.

[@jaymum23]

The best part of watching this is the realization that they directly ported the music from the Model 2 arcade version of Sega Rally 1. It sounds just like it, but compressed. Amazing!

[@pam8352]

model 2 audio capability was very weak, sega rally on model 2 use midi samples music.

[@jaymum23]

@@pam8352 I sorta disagree. Model 2 like all arcade boards of the time used really high quality chip tunes. I don’t think it sounded weak, and in fact, like Daytona, I prefer it to the Saturn version which was recorded in-studio with actual live instruments. The slap bass of the intro theme never sounded better and “Getting Muddy” (Mountain theme) sounds like a live band on the Model 2, with amazing drum samples. Model 2 would eventually grow the capability to stream recorded music like the CD consoles of its era, as heard in Top Skater. I adore every single Model 2 soundtrack.

[@Lightblue2222]

​@pam8352 Just to note.. model 2 sounds far cleaner than gba.

[@themonnamanshow]

The GBA got a lot of crazy games in its time. I’m thankful for all the ones I got to play, even more thankful for the games I didn’t get to play, like this ambitious game. Looks super fun and I would have loved it along with my copy of Super Mario Kart Super Circuit. 🤩🤩🤩

[@DolFunDolhpinVtuber]

I loved playing this at the Arcades.

[@nicktronson2977]

Yeah I used to bring my gba to the arcades to play this to!

[@15-Peter-20]

Game over yeeaaaahhhh

[@skyeracer9712]

Aw, I remember playing the game for a very long time, always trying to improve my times in the Championships, as well as trying to squeeze every last bit out of the Desert Stage. The Stratos was my go-to car once I unlocked it since it had the best handling and the highest speed with Manual Transmission (232 km/h or so).

[@HammMann]

well you must be quite lucky, as this game is nowadays a little thing i like to call "rare as fuck"

[@QF_Dan72]

graphics might look bad .....but it still plays well

[@dalaxdercrisper957]

It's pretty understandable for GBA port graphic. The gameplay still rock solid like Arcade ones

[@knowledgedumpingservice2435]

the immediate surroundings look too blocky and pixelated is the main problem. The actual backgrounds however that stay still in the back look kinda realistic and cool actually.

[@Gameboy-Unboxings]

@@dalaxdercrisper957 but v rally 3 looks a million times better than this garbage....

[@deckofcards87]

​@@Gameboy-UnboxingsGba V rally is slow and boring.

[@ethelchip3620]

The n-gage got an upgraded port of this version and the graphics are much better and less blurry.

[@judgedeath-bf6kx]

Yep but the rest of the ngage version was far worse. It was way slower and the cars felt like they were floating, way less control and GBA had way more extras and both were different games with similarities, I have both

GAME OVER YEAAAAAAAH

[@Vectormantudeoz]

Justo lo jugué hace meses, es un port curioso

[@mahiru20ten]

The tracks and music are a mix of sr1 and sr2, i found this surprising.

[@lxs077]

Wow was just thinking about this game for Saturn and the gt4 in the game lol I sorta got one

[@15-Peter-20]

Game over yeeaaaahhhh

[@johnbewty]

Man. The ultra low resolution makes it look like an Atari Lynx game. I realize that the GBA was not super powerful, but there are a lot of racing games on the GBA that look much better than this.

[@atomiswave2]

It's really too bad 😂 it's got cool style

[@hazy33]

Sit further back, like in another room 🙂

[@15-Peter-20]

Game over yeeaaaahhhh

[@607]

Does anyone have a link to a page on their website where it explains the decision to upscale the videos for KZbin?

[@greensun1334]

While technical impressive, the low resolution makes it looks ugly! Gameplay seems to be okay but, imagine to play it using the Game Boy Player on a big TV - big headache!

[@johnknight9150]

I _think_ there's a rally game in there? It's like a 386 had a bad migraine.

[@atomiswave2]

Frame rate is brutal.

[@hugofarias9150]

Realy nice 2000s.

[@TheBoxGamePL]

Yeey Sega Rally

[@Butterstix2014]

Lol the soundfont sounds very similar to Mario Kart Super Circuit

[@yfyuelu]

great port

[@PowerfulE]

Personally I think the graphics are pretty good for GBA standards. Surely not as top notch graphics as per say V Rally 3 for GBA, but close enough. Anyways, I already finished the game, but the last event was hard..

[@srbizkit6967]

El coche siempre está en el centro de la pantalla

[@rodrigo-oliveira-86]

Is this really 3D or a Mode 7 sort of effect? Looks great

[@helderestrela6958]

Mode 7 on steroids

[@M.Prestige]

Half 3D, half mode 7

[@Adam-jw3uz]

I'm guessing voxel rendering, which would explain the chunkiness of the 3D world

[@Psx806]

I love this lmao

[@locked01]

Aaaaarghh MY EYEZ!!!

[@chanahampton9133]

Had You Enough?

[@Judex1963]

Sega Rally on the Saturn is my all time favourite racing game, but this port looks like a big mess. It has no excuse looking that bad either, V-Rally 3 on GBA looks outstanding.

[@bb732]

Gamdboy is Super

[@joelgonzalez5237]

That voice 😦😦😅

[@KISEwun]

The wheels on that car don't spin. I'm very upset.

[@toadfrommariokart64]

they do, the rpm just conveniently matches the framerate :^)

[@FPietros]

Boy does this port suck major azz...

[@querecuto]

El V-Rally 3 (de GBA) le da mil vueltas xD

[@matiasacostaes]

Minecraft :v

[@Pythoner]

ugh

[@Shagon]

Earrape

[@jeisonpicado1380]

Los graficos aunque muy cuadrados y nada realistas el juego 🎮 no es tan malo pero mejor seve en play station

[@psychopompous3207]

I understand the GBA has very limited resolution...but these are some of the worst graphics I have seen. How is this game even playable?

[@fco64]

These graphics are actually amazing
