Sega PC Games: An LGR Retrospective

[@OnekiKai]

I remember finding out that the sound effects for R were loose wave files. I replaced "go" with a fart sound..."Ready, set, braaap"

[@OnlyEpicEmber]

But what about the actual music files? Could you replace the R music with, say, Sonic Adventure music? Or music from any Sonic game thereafter really since many of them had lyrics

[@killa948]

You gotta make a video of this.

[@ccricers]

That's how also the sound effects were set up for Warcraft 2. I made the characters sound like Simpsons characters. Knights were Milhouse

[@PlusInsta]

Ah, the joyful days before developers started stuffing important game data into encrypted containers.

[@bluedragon9925]

@@OnlyEpicEmber On that topic, I remember discovering that the music in Sonic Adventure 1's original PC port was just WMA files. I made a bunch of music swaps as a result. Some of them were fitting like replacing Emerald Coast's theme with Palmtree Panic's theme from the JP/PAL version of Sonic CD, others not so much like replacing Gamma's theme with Iron Man by Black Sabbath... (Get it, 'cause he's made of metal?... I was a dumb teenager...)

[@Timothan]

The fact that an official "Sonic and Garfield" pack exists completes my life. Thank you.

[@alexsilva28]

Imagine how many other packs are out there that we don't know about. Pacman and Snoopy?

[@ghostofthepast9234]

Where's the looney tunes and mega man pack?

[@Autistic_Pixel]

it also goes for 300$ disc only, 500-700$ in the box. Clint is quite literally sitting in a gold mine. Crazy that 10 years ago you could find bigbox pc games for 1$.

[@gammaboost]

When you realise that the standalone Sonic R box had a Y2K compliant badge on it. Ah yes, a racing game that needs to count it's own time. I guess it makes sense for time trial date codes, but really...

[@Pinkanator]

I'm sure you've probably mentioned this on twitter or the like but, in current-year retrospect, Sonic and Knuckles Collection is even MORE fascinating with the context that some of the pc-ified soundtrack is taken from early prototype builds of the original game, before all the guest-musician shenanigins took place.

[@PaperBanjo64]

I'm not a PC gamer but I have enjoyed every video I've watched on this channel, very calming and informative, not any yelling and acting unhinged or low quality poorly acted dramatic skits.

[@SonicParadox]

Some interesting facts: -Some copies of Sonic R PC didn't have music on the disc to manufacturing forgetting to add it. -Sonic & Knuckles Collection can be modded to add the original Genesis music. -Ecco the Dolphin has a mod that fixes all the bugs and adds the Sega CD music.

[@TheWax70]

I used to play Sonic R on the pc all the time back in 2003 when I got my old compac pc. I loved it such an underrated game. The soundtrack was pretty good and when I beat the game after several times I just listened to the redbook audio on my cd player. I also had Sonic CD when I was a kid and it was amazing

[@ShinZeLoz]

There's this interview with one of the developers responsible for the port of Sonic CD, and on how his team managed to port the game to Windows before Windows gaming was mainstream and DirectX was a thing. It's a really fascinating read: www.sonic-cult.org/dispart.php?catid=1&gameid=5&subid=2&artid=2 (Initial releases of Sonic CD for the PC didn't use DirectX, though the more common later releases do)

[@ThomasJeff1898]

Edit (30/3/2020): The link to that interview works now for reasons I do not know. That is all. I'm sorry to say this, but the Sonic Cult site is down for good as when I clicked on that link, it shows Sonic in a shocked state while the tab says "IT"S OVER". You might have to place another source for that interview.

[@ronnielane8985]

The first Sonic CD release was actually bundled with HP PCs in 1996, developed alongside the Sega CD release in an attempt to appeal to gamers in WIndows 95. (I know this stuff because this was my first PC game, and my first Sonic game.)

[@macgyver6999]

Sonic cd on Sega cd was released wayyy before 1996

[@SmithyyGCN]

It was certainly my first Sonic game also.

[@ongakuwotabeta]

Sega CD release was released at least 1 year before the Windows 95 version.

Sonic CD was released in the US in November 1993. So way before the PC release.

Did anyone else notice the box for Sonic R said it was Y2K ready? Funny, I don't remember that game ever having any real time clock-based events.

[@stevethepocket]

You're forgetting how panicked people were at the time that everything from their computers to the electrical grid would just straight-up quit working when Y2K hit because the average person knew jack squat about how computers worked. Probably a lot of people just slapped labels like that on their products in the hopes of getting people to distrust their competitors who didn't.

Fun fact about the Panzer Dragoon port: the PC version's source code is the only surviving version. When the third entry in the series, Orta, was released, it had an emulated PC version built in as a bonus.

[@atomicskull6405]

It wasn't emulated. The original Xbox was based largely on PC hardware and used a stripped down Win32 kernal and DirectX 8 so they just set up an environment that provided for all the OS calls the PC version used.

[@duffman18]

[@seacliff217]

Still have my first Sega PC purchase. I got one of those Sonic & Knuckles Collection discs back when Jack In The Box was running a promo on cheap Sega PC games. That was an interesting one, as the downloadable demo version was basically the gateway to figuring out how to remove the disc check (It wasn't even hardcoded...You added a line in the ini file)...Boy how times have changed...

the recent Sonic CD "remake" on Steam is particularly excellent ... incidentally made by some of the same folks involved in Sonic Mania and they stated its codebase started with the Win95 version of Sonic CD [or did it?

The Sega Rally 95 D3D version was only available as a package with a Righteous 3D Voodoo 1 card from memory although I could be wrong on the card brand. One of it's features was variable weather which would change depending on a particular key press during the load screen. Both these 3D accelerated versions have been recorded and are on KZbin, searchable with "MANX TT Glide" and "Sega Rally 95 Direct3D".

Sonic R is my very first Sonic game and the reason I got into Sonic games. I fucking love it. What other racing game has you racing _on foot_ (though ironically it's the slowest characters who cheat and use vehicles) on rollercoaster or marble run style tracks, one of which (Radical City) appears to take place inside a Pro Pinball Timeshock cabinet? (Besides Mad Dash on the original Xbox I guess) The only thing I don't like about it is that is has not enough tracks, not enough characters (though it does at least have a fair amount) and it doesn't have the Saturn's special effects, such as the translucent crystal effect on the track Radiant Emerald (the Sonic version of Rainbow Road) though I would have loved both the Saturn track combined with the PC version's trippy colored lighting for that track. What it does have however is very good, so it's short but very sweet like a piece of baklava.

I don't know if the soundtrack was the same or not, but I actually did once come across a perfect version of Crazy Taxi on PC. It was some shady file-sharing stuff, but it ran really well on my dinky little Gateway Pentium 3 machine, and it had all the branding intact. I think it may have actually been a self-contained arcade emulator with a pre-launch options menu? I dunno for sure, it's been 11 years now. Had a blast with it though.

Well, as Clint also said in his review of the game, you could easily replace the music in the PC port (drag and drop to folder easy).

True enough.

I actually have TWO of the Sonic R tracks in my music rotation! I loved them so much...especially "Living In The City"!

Sega PC games - indeed quite a few of these I played on the PC. EGA / CGA / VGA gaming when it was the most modern way to play those games! Thanks for showing this. Altered Beast, I even played a version of Outrun on the PC. The 90's stuff is amazing as well. Played a ton of these.

Sonic CD on the PC was one of my first console ports to PC. I LOVED it. I need to get me some more of these Sega PC games...
