[@hermesgabriel]

This was the first real 3d poligonal racing game. It was quite impacting to watch it for the first time.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Still looks great to this day.

[@hermesgabriel]

@@ZEUSDAZ It would be a dream for me to play it with mame but I cannot make it work. I don't know if the problem is the mame version I'm using or the bios that is not ot properly allocated.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

@@hermesgabriel I got the rom from PlanetEmu and the MAME version I'm using for it is Mameui64 vers. 0.175, works perfectly on my Windows 7 Laptop if that helps.

[@stonetic2515]

Not true. Games like STUN Runner predate it. Hard Drivin' was even by Sega.

[@AchtungBaby77]

Not true - Hard Drivin' from Atari games back in '89 was the first arcade racer to make the transition from sprites to 3D polygons.

[@jonathanb.4305]

this was incredible back in the days

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Still is.

[@WolfgangAzevedo]

Sound track was amazing!

[@louiseugeniojr.3530]

Graphically, this game aged like a fine wine. It was light years ahead of 1992 and looks amazing on the Nintendo Switch.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

It still is a stunningly good looking game to this day.

[@LITTLE1994]

This fun F1 racing game's graphics was a big deal back in 1992. Unfortunately I heard that real arcade cabinets of this had poorly made CRT screens, so they are now very hard to find in original working order. But what I find most impressive about this game is the Genesis port with the SVP Chip, which was extremely insane for 16-bit.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Yeah this was a stunner of a game especially in the looks department, looked way ahead of It's time and still does imo, just be glad for MAME :-D

[@OlpusBonzo]

To think that Outrunners was released the same year of this...

[@StrikerEureka85]

oh wow! i had completely forgotten about this game. it was quite popular at the local arcade when it came out. such great memories.

[@wordsshackles441]

Looks genuinely great, and it's not nostalgia speaking. It's shockingly good looking.

[@redjones8010]

I remember how the engines sounded a bit bizarre. Seeing the characters there puts me in mind of the video for Dire Straits' Money For Nothing.

[@Mumie12345]

,,"Virtua Racing" for the Arcade, a true classic from the golden era of arcade gaming.,, The 90s wasn't not the ,,golden era,,.It was the first half of the 1980s

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Nah not for me, MY golden era was between 1980 to pre Playstation 1 days.

[@LITTLE1994]

Golden era is Atari 2600 to 32-bit era.

[@MOXIEchannel]

Great sense of Speed

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Yeah this is a beauty!

[@googleboughtmee]

Awesome footage man

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Thanks.

[@chaitai2533]

I always have the impression older racing games feel wayyy faster than today's stuff, right? . Possibly because of simplicity in graphics.

[@oliverbentley8125]

Still impressive in 2021!

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Agrred, lovely looking game.

[@jannekschushek9577]

Nice

[@charlessentenat1250]

Cool smoke effect.

[@florinalexandru3794]

Where did you get the arcade roms? I am trying to find, but I can only find the Genesis one. Thanks.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Try Planet Emulation site.

[@mrwolsy3696]

Driving backwards over the medium bridge would crash the game, the scenery disapeared and the car then raced on a blank screen.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Ha, I'll have to try that 😂

[@levitm1312]

who’s here because of Finaly_Cool too?

[@davinleatherwood5185]

How did it switch to 1st when you were in 3rd place

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Read the video description,...about half way down 👍

[@ribenasquash]

So you own a model 1 racing arcade machine? How did you capture this footage?

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Lol, now that would take a huge amount of room up. All Arcade uploads are MAME emulation,...only Arcade.

[@ribenasquash]

Ah pity. This is a nice game but your footage does not seem very clear...

[@ribenasquash]

Zeusdaz - The Unemulated Retro Game Channel also... you here to learn this game without cheating. It’s one of the most difficult games ever made I think. Maybe take a year out. Practise 7 hours a day and by this time next year you should be able to place first. That how hard this game is. You need a steering wheel too I think.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

@@ribenasquash I'm just happy I can play it even if It's with a PS3 controller, looks fantastic linked from my laptop to my widescreen crt tube tv :-) ,...not so much here after KZbin compression but still watchable.

[@ribenasquash]

Zeusdaz - The Unemulated Retro Game Channel the colours look well reproduced but the fidelity is a touch blurry.

[@GothamRCity]

what shader did you use?

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Shader?!

[@GothamRCity]

MAME emulation with very real accurate colour, these not default i think, so i interesting which sander do you use))

[@ZEUSDAZ]

@@GothamRCity There are options within MAME to change brightness, contrast and other stuff but I didn't change any of them on this game, I just used the default settings, maybe during conversion it changed the look slightly but personally it looks ok to me :-)

[@mypkamax]

Zeusdas is focused on video game footage recorded from real hardware.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

@@mypkamax Well 99% of the time :-)

[@jamesavery3559]

very nice!

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Lovely game.

[@jamesavery3559]

@@ZEUSDAZ yes it is, i uploaded some driving game's in the last few day's, outrun 2006 is a bit of fun.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

@@jamesavery3559 Outrun 2 (2006) is a brill game, very good updated sequel that mate. Good to hear from some THSC members here,...especially since they kicked me out of the group a week ago lol,...and my thoughts on that?!,...oh dear, how sad, never mind 🤣

[@jamesavery3559]

@@ZEUSDAZ you where kicked out for what? i don't understand, i only post there every now and then and nobody has said anything.

[@ZEUSDAZ]

@@jamesavery3559 Long story, short version I picked a game,...people moaned, I picked another,...they moaned again, then I picked a rage quite game Nebulus as I was feeling bullied and pissed off,...I never took part in my pick nor did I do the recap,...before I knew it I've been removed from the group,...as if I give a shit.

[@ozymandias1758]

What is the female voice saying every time the car passes a checkpoint? Anyone?

[@ZEUSDAZ]

Time Bonus?!

[@mypkamax]

To me it sounds like she's saying "Time Roller", but I'm not sure.

[@timothycarpenter9947]

TIME BONER !!!
