The crummy thing about Outrun was also losing 5-7 seconds anytime you crashed. Do it more than once and you might as well restart the map. Was happy when I first played Crusin’ USA and found that this was not an issue

You missed the entire point of arcade games you dingus. They're meant to be punishing so you can pump more quarters in so the operator can keep their doors open

The Cruis'n series is definitely some of my favorite Arcade racing titles. Every time I go to the Arcade, movie theater, or pizza joint, and I see a Cruis'n game there, it was definitely my go-to Arcade game I would play. I remember back in 2017, I tried Cruis'n Blast at Dave & Buster's, and it was a lot of fun. Of course it got released on the Nintendo Switch and it is STILL a blast to play albeit no online multiplayer modes.

Honestly, what the game needs is to have the Wii title of Cruis'N' to totally be redone, as well as to make an equivalent to the Super Mario All-Stars/Super Mario Collection/Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario World bundle pack, but with the Cruis'N' games, and, hopefully, with the permission of the proper parties, to have the additional The Fast and the Furious, as well as The Fast and the Furious: Super Bikes, games ported to the Switch in this collection, as well as to also add bonus games, such as Excitebike 64, Excite Truck, and the entire Excitebike series, including the FDS/Japanese games, into the collection as well.

The Cruisin’ games are a fondly remembered part of my childhood. The local pizza place in my tiny hometown had the stand up version and it was one I always played when my parents took me. When USA came out on the N64 I scrounged up from my jobs delivering papers and mowing lawns to get it. I spent SO many hours playing it!

Awesome video as always. I adore Cruisn' USA and its sequels. Its such a shame that most aren't playable in MAME still... as the N64 ports whilst ok (especially when upscaled) don't play the same. I was really hopeful Eugene would release a Cruisn' series compilation on the Switch... but at least we got Blast. One thing to note is Cruisn' also came out on the Wii which was basically Fast & Furious arcade game with a name swap. The Wii struggled to run it though. I am so desperate to play this again in the arcade... Arcade Club in the UK had a stand up once when I went years ago there... but it got replaced... Each time I go in the queue at Arcade Club they have a Cruisn Exotica not working which rubs it in to me as I never got to play it in the arcades only on the N64. I do adore Raw Thrill games and really wish they released their games in the home... So many from their Super Cars, Super Bikes, Dirty Drivin' etc are pure heaven and more people need to play it. I was really hoping this would happen after Cruisn' Blast got released... but I guess sales weren't great.

They had a deluxe cabinet in the lobby of my local ice rink. More than once, we'd end up late for hockey practice because we were racing!!

Pocahontas, Illinois had one of these. Neat little bar/grill on the FlatLands. 14yr old me loved it.

I spent many quarters on Cruisin' USA and Cruisin'The World. More than any other arcade games, combined.

I played it a lot as well

I remember I loved playing this game when I was a kid. I used to love playing it after school. 😎👍💯

Hopefully someday we'll see a Cruis'n collection on the Nintendo Switch with the arcade and N64 versions of USA, World, and Exotica.

Seeing the gameplay made me realize that this is more or less a proto fast and furious, especially considering how Jarvis worked in both series and had a few F&F games reworked into cruisin' ones.

Absolutely

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Raw Thrills was founded by Jarvis himself, and the F&F arcade games were designed by him, meaning that F&F were more or less sequels/ succesors to Cruisin', but with an actual brand behind it. No wonder why there's so many raw thrills racing games in American arcades.

My 6 year old son and i played this a few times at an arcade a few months ago! It was the deluxe model with racing style seat. Wish it was the deluxe full motion one tho!!

1. The arcade machines have special inputs for the secret vehicles, you can play as a semi and other things as well. 2. You can PIT the cars and basically cheat to win.

I had no idea about the semi trucks

Outrun like bad dudes, double dragon was always a 7-11 game. That was the first time i played it. Cruzin was one of the few decent games on the N64. Switch version is not bad. Speaking of censorship Cararmageddon is even worse. I have the original pc version. Very violent. Running over handicap people and leaving blood tracks is so much fun. No offense. Its just a game

I really like the switch version
@palaceofwisdom94485 ай бұрын
My arcade had the deluxe full motion cabinet, and it was a blast. As with so many other 90's classics, I just wish I'd had the funds to play it a lot more. Fortunately it was more merciful than Outrun and gave a decent bang for your buck.

I have never tried the full deluxe variation, looks like fun
