Rad Mobile (ラッドモビール) - Perfect Race

First place on a single credit. In truth this was sort of a sloppy run, but I got a couple lucky breaks here and there that the game usually doesn't afford me.

[@commentator9134]

So this is where Sonic discovered speed as his life purpose.

[@YM19913]

The blue hedgehog was swinging instead of running, but I agree. Edit: He probably was fast in 1990.

[@greenekj6]

That blue guy swinging around looks interesting. They should give him his own game series.

[@jimmyqballs]

Great concept for a game, I always thought driving across the the country is a great idea for a racing game. I've always wanted the Need For Speed franchise to go back to it's roots and apply the methodical style of dealing with traffic and cops in a gumball rally style game across the country! This game always reminds me of Encino Man LOL!

[@fishsticks1195]

The Saturn version of Rad Mobile is so terrible, the top speed droning engine noise, I can still hear it aaaargh it wont go away aaaargh

[@SwankeyMonkey]

Adam Mcvay I thought that was bad until I heard the constant screeching of PS2's version of Virtua Racing in their SEGA collection. It's too bad, because it was a graphically pretty update, but the unrelenting tire screeching made the game unplayable for me.

[@o_Juffo_o]

Yes, was a shame, however we always have MAME the emulated virtua racing is almost 100% accurate

[@SaturnMemories]

Adam Mcvay Haven't played VR on MAME in a while, but from what I remember, it has a lot of flickering polygons and the camera tends to get kinda wonky.

[@o_Juffo_o]

Yes it depends on what your playing MAME on, I have an Arcade cabinet with a genuine CRT with an arcade VGA graphics card. Looks 100%

[@Jiterdomer]

They took that shortcut because there's an overtuned truck blocking the road.

[@srarcade]

It's because of this game that I have a Sonic figure dangling from my mirror in one of my cars.

[@JannikVogel]

I never heard of this. It looks great for 1990 though. Each minute of the video there seemed to be a new effect I wasn't expecting and I thought: "IT DOES THAT TOO?!". A true technical gem. Really amazing piece of work.

[@SaturnMemories]

***** Rad Mobile was an arcade game for Sega's System 32 board. The only port it ever got was to the Saturn (Gale Racer). The Genesis couldn't really handle superscaler games. A few were released on it like After Burner, but they're pretty crappy ports.

[@SaturnMemories]

[@Why_It]

My favorite memory of this game is the dangling Sonic. I'm so glad they decided to replace Fuzzy Dice for that.

[@PacGuy765]

I've noticed some of the SFX sound famailiar to Super Monaco GP and I've never seen such a great run like this on youtube, great work ;)

[@leemitchell8742]

I was born the year this game came out - it did not stop me though from completing a perfect run back in 1998. My dad would always tease me as I had to use 2 tokens (the price for one play) to win as he managed to get on with 1 credit (lucky bastard) and still manage a perfect run with my baby sister in his arm while he drove.

[@Jiterdomer]

I immediately jumped out of the cabinet when the cop shows up to slam the hood of the car when I was a kid.

[@eblu_]

i played this at a free-play arcade, which means i got to beat it. the ending confused me

[@DanielAyy]

[@ETYPEJaguar38]

If the players Rad Mobile car had excellent engine, tires, steering, and fender bumpers upgrades as if it is in the Outrun special edition for Nintendo Switch is something great to have. Perhaps that Rad Mobile car might speed up to 324 km/h as an option as if the upgraded Outrun Ferrari speeds to 220mph.

[@SaturnMemories]

Doing separate attract mode videos has been something I've thought about. I usually try to show at least part of attract mode in my gameplays already. The bits I left out from Rad Mobile aren't too interesting. It just cycles between the title screen and gameplay without any music. Once in a while the text "Trans American Speed Race" will scoll across the screen, but that's it. As for a Rad Rally playthrough, that would be kinda boring. Lotta straight, wide roads. Drive straight and win.

[@malcolmar]

Another great arcade game that never made to home consoles :( Gale racer was not a perfect arcade port. To me Sega had so much potential if all their branches, namely the U.S. and Japan branches could work together. This game would have been perfect on the Sega 32X. The Saturn and the 32X/Neptune could have been 2 strong pillars for Sega and not the fumbling mistake it turned out to be. The mistake was in how the two systems were handled and not the hardware itself. The 32x/Neptune could have been home to all the super scaler arcade games like this. To this day many of these games never made it to home consoles. The Saturn could have been for everything else including unique games like Nights, Panzer Dragoon and other games that required more memory from the CD. I love my 32X but when I look at it, I am reminded by so much potential it had. It is much more powerful than the Neo Geo but look at how far that went with the proper support. Oh Well. BTW I did own a Saturn as well and loved it for what it was.

[@alexkubrat3868]

I had same idea about 32X port, but I don't know how to program

In the arcade version of Rad Mobile, when your driver gets arrested by the police: 1st arrest - slams fist on your driver's car, 2nd arrest - shoots at your driver with handgun 3rd arrest and after that - ? What happens on and after the 3rd arrest? Does the cop fire a RPG at your driver's car? Instant game over?

[@Jiterdomer]

He still shoots you with the pistol onwards. After you continue the game, it goes back to the cop slamming your hood of the car.
