Big Red Racing (PC DOS) 60FPS longplay
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- Developed by Big Red Software and released in 1996.
Tournament is completed first and then the rest of the tracks in single race mode. Game glitched at Mars where all the opponents freezed at the start / finish line after two laps. That happened before with some other tracks when I was not recording so it appears to be a random glitch.
This is the latest DOS release version I could find. Audio commentary is removed for some reason, but I prefer to disable it anyways. Listening to emulated fart sounds and generally obnoxious noise gets annoying very fast. I got another version with commentary included. That was used to record track introduction commentary for each track at the end of the video with short previews of track. I also played the last two races from that version with commentary enabled.
Never liked this game much for the wonky physics and camera rotation. Pretty much impossible to play with cockpit view, because the track disappears very often. Colliding throws camera around the cockpit and there's no chance to see anything. Constant screen shaking is also very annoying, but you get used to it. I'm not sure if it was this bad back in the days, because haven't played this in 20 years, but I doubt it's a DOSBox issue. However, BRR has the option to play multiplayer in split screen or with serial link / modem connection. Options at the time for PC multiplayer gaming were still limited.

Best thign about this game was the fact that you can screw the race and just go off exploring. For a game that's from 22 years ago... that's VERY awesome.
I was about to say the same thing. Fond memories of driving off into the distance, it was cool that they made it so the map became an infinite loop of itself
there is a "secret" on the first level with a big hill with a horde drawing on it or something
Finally found this game from when I was growing up. I remember doing exactly that, screwing the race and just exploring. Fun times.
OMG I used to do that. In the water stage, me and my cousin would always pick the hovercarft and when went up the hill as soon as the race started.
Haha yeah I remember I used to go and find sheep in some levels and run 'em over ... good times.
Spent an hour this morning trying to remember the name of this game. Brings back memories.
Not bad! I spent 4 years trying to remember and accidentally and randomly ran upon it/recognized it in a dos game compilation video just now, haha
Wonder how that process went, probably something like: ‘Great Green Racing? no.
Bright Blue Racing? nope.
Big Blue Racing? Hmm
Ah Yes, Big Red Racing! that’s it!’
@@Wil_Dsense I just remembered the type of game, but nothing else. For some reason I thought that racing games were never going to top this!
"I feel like drinking a galon of turpetine and pissing on a brushfire. "
"Woah, that aint my belly button.
That aint my finger neither."
Finally found it after all these years!
we really need a remaster of this game in cellshaded artstyle
It's like they are not exactly cel shading, but just using gouraud shading for the vehicles.
The landscape has a faint texture on smooth colors near, but far away I see it switches to flat shading. Interesting, like instead of fully texture mapping everything, they did it when it mattered.
Impressive physics for a game of that era. Also the free exploring, absolute innovation
I love this game. One of my fav in the past. I spent hours enjoying it. I remember playing 2 players in split window with my brother. What a memories. Thanks 4 sharing this jewel
If anything, I recall this game as something FUN.
This was the best offroad game at the time
Man this is so nostalgic for me! I loved this game after getting it when my parents bought an Epson printer. This is one of the reasons I'm still a gamer to this day. Thanks for the memories.
How old are you?
@@StanLeeX I'm 33
Ah thanks, I wondered why I had a full version of this game if it came with Epsom printers.
Love how this had local split-screen co-op and most modern racing games don't.
I was in high school in the late 90's and I secretly installed this game on all of our CAD computers. After we were done with our in-class assignments, about 8 of us would all have a LAN racing match. The first time I did it, I got sent to the principal's office for "hacking" the computers 🤣
I did the same in middle school. I’d install games on the network and search around for stuff in DOS where they didn’t have things as restricted and people thought I was a “hacker” and I’m like… no I just know how to use DOS commands haha.
I only had the trial version of this but I LOOOVED IT.
Yeah me too! I had a cdrom with mixed trial version of games from that era.
One of my favorite racing games of all time.
A remake of this game would be so awesome!
I'm surprised that these sound clips haven't been mixed into more music! They are classic!
My fucking grandma gifted me this when I was like 10 years old back in 99'. Oh man.
This is one of the games that I most enjoyed playing and recording for my channel. Despite its apparent graphic simplicity, it is really fun.
The open world element of this game was so cool compared to every other racing game I had played before.
I don't remember the camera shaking so badly
Same. Might be because of the CRT it was played on back then.
Me neither, but it looks horrible.
It may be because of Dosbox emulator. Someone should try it on real hardware. I have Pentium 1 classic, maybe I'll try it in future.
Same, it's pretty bad
It didn’t!
Wow! Memories. I still say checkpoint in that guy's voice to this day.
Extremely 90s, that almost collage-style of stereotypes and randomized mish-mashes. Just whatever felt cool at the time. I'm not sure how well those sensibilities have aged, but the gameplay itself is solid for the day. Especially on a DOS polygon engine like that.
Bought a random pc from wal mart in the later 90s it was Big Red Racing . What a lucky decision
God I love this game’s atmosphere
All of us came here to hear that one line. "I feel like drinking a gallon of turpentine and pissing a brush fire."
I know I did
I LOVED this game. Even by todays stadards, this game was pretty tough Imo. The graphics were amazing and so was the content. Don't know why it was such an underdog game. Music and visuals were great. I remember playing this game over hours, listening to "Scooter-Endless Summer" =P. I think you could even play it in splitscreen with 2P.
Loved this! I'm quite sure you could put the gamedisk in an ordinary CDplayer and listen to all the "magnificent" tracks on the stereo..
Any one else remember?!
Me and a childhood friend used to play tag with this game on 2-player, screw the race let's play tag :) Pretty cool that you could just explore on such an old game.
so much nostalgia
I am.. kind of shocked to realize that this game is already 24 years old.. My gf gave it to me for my bday back then, making this one extra special for me. Nice to see it back again, although like most 3d games.. this one didn't age that well ;)
checkpoint, woohoo! played it with a good friend when it came out
what's that song from the intro
I feel like drinking a gallon of turpentine and pissing on a bush fire
Interesting. Didn't know about that version with Epson ads everywhere.
Negrostrike my copy of this game came with an epson printer! Did yours?
I remember this game like it was in Dirt Rally 2.0 graphics.
Increíble que recuerdos!
Juegazo
i think my brain just melted
Biggest thing that ages these old games is the draw distance. Fix that and up the res they would look much more modern
totally remember playing the hell out of this game
this was a very cool game...back when racing games NEVER went off-course this was a lot of fun
I didn't know this game has nitrus, or that when you view non-Earth bodies, you get a sci-fi helicopter.
This Game was Published by Domark, Before Eidos Interactive and Laterly and Today Square-Enix Europe.
Longest intro to a game ever, awesome
I remember the cheat you you do at DOS prompt when loading the game to use any vehicle on any track.
this game rules
This was such an awesome game.
Me and a buddy of mine played cops and robbers in split screen on the Italy map all the time!
why I remember this game having MUCH higher resolution?
Wow, this is even better than Terep2
that shaking supposed to be "riding the waves" ? holy crap what a dizzy mess.
Longest intro in a DOS game, along with Tex Murphy's Under A Killing Moon.
never remembered how shaky the ingame camera was lol
I swear the gfx were better when I played it :P
Yea, our memories can trick us real good. I couldn't enjoy this game today.
Anyone interested to port this game for iOS?
Очень интересная игра из раннего детства) Эдакое мировое турне с игроками со всего света, транспорта всех видов от космолетов до глиссеров и газонокосилок, плюс а самое эффектное что здесь есть - в игре можно выехать с дороги и свободно кататься по всей карте, скакать по кочкам, канавам, находить артефакты и пасхалки даже, вот это свобода, которая доселе не бывала в подобных играх! Я про тупые шутки в меню и в гонке, и также про неплохой саундтрек в этой игре вообще не знал, для меня это новость) игра была на cd диске "много игр на одном cd" и судя по всему все эти шутки были удалены оттуда как мусор с чем я с пиратами в принципе солидарен) но саундтрек в ужатом виде могли и оставить.
4:44 Watchmen reference.
I love this game, pity they did not do few sequels...at least three....hopefully someone in the future will do....we need such driving games...
That time you remember the game but not the name of the game. Fear not, UA-cam will recommend you the video with it. One day.
I remember for this game! :D
A dos game yet I still can't make anything better these days with todays game creators xD
Why is it so shakey?
why is the screen shaking dos'nt do that on mine ?
irdk. It might be DOSBox issue, but I haven't seen that happen on any other DOS game. If you check other videos of this game in YT they all have that shaking.
really how odd ill get the pc out of the cupboard soon and check
Fun game but I cant handle to intense camera shake!
i play with 13 years old.old times
The game is capped @ 2 different frame speeds. Thats why the screen shakes. None of them is 60 fps... Why the lie right in the title?
hey! I remember this game!
the game have 640x480 . . . . i think it was with the plus key, it add extra resolution
True. I was considering about recording in 640x480. Menus are still in 320x200 and have slightly different framerate. Since I was using DOSBox internal capture it would had increased work with editing a lot and there were some other issues as well. I don't remember exactly, but possibly it was required to manually switch to high res each time you start a new race. Also, higher resolution modes in this game IMHO didn't add that much to quality of graphics.
Ask "nostalgianerdvideos" how he video record, i'm sure he will help you. When i play "Alone in the dark" dosbox kill my fps, i have better fps on 486 or amd k6-2 (or something) with 2mb S3 video :) then on i5 with dosbox , i remember the video card, but not shure for the CPU, i also have voodoo2, but this kind of games don't use 3Dfx so i play on the s3 . Sorry for my english.
ua-cam.com/video/YtOtfMbgJMI/v-deo.html You mean this video? It looks like it's running somewhere around 10-15 fps and it's not cropped either. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy watching some of his videos such as the "Amiga story" videos, he did great work on those. Your issues with DOSBox are probably cycle related, try using fixed cycles for example cycles=10000 and see if that helps.
With his FPS the game is unplayable for me.
Activating comments in this video game is the closest experience in real life to having schizophrenia.

640x480 res. was avaliable in this game by pressing + i think
Great game, but why is everything so shaky? Not even the worst offenders on ps1 were this bad.
Oh boy. We played this on the network a LOT back in the day. What happened to the commentary, tho? I remember there being some seriously perverted commentary. I also don't seem to remember the eye ruining menus like that either. x_x
I feel like drinking a gallon of turpentine and pissing on a brush fire - my favorite. Commentary could be switched off in the settings, but it is part of what made the game so immersive!
"That's not my belly button! That's not my finger neither." LoL :)
I love how Minsk is in Russia.
I use to love mowing down the sheep lol
Tempo bom
gives me motion sickness
Looks like Wipeout...
press plus key and get svga mode
