    There was a GameCube port of this included in the Midway Arcade Treasures 2 compilation. My understanding is that that version was a faithful port of the original arcade release and if memory serves it supported 4 players. Me and a couple of friends discovered this beauty for the first time around 2008 and had great fun.

    The most fucked up thing about the SNES version of Super Off-Road is they removed Ivan Stewarts from the game and replaced him with Mickey Thompson, a (then) recently murdered off road racer, more so they did it without the family's permission and still gave all the royalties to Stewarts!!!

    When my brother and I were kids, our dad would sometimes take us to basketball games at the university. During half-time we'd leave the gymnasium and wander the halls of campus. Our favourite place to go was a small arcade. I don't remember what else was there, I think there may have been a pinball table or two, but what really caught out interest was the Super Off Road arcade machine. The three of us would drop in a bunch of quarters and have a grand old time.

    Weird memory but I spent a lot of time on greyhound buses in my 20s and always wound up spending a lot of time on layovers at the Seattle downtown greyhound station where they had a very abused OffRoad cabinet that I would always pump a lot of quarters into so this game gets associated with a lot of strange and interesting memories for me.

    And as SNES drunk says, that gray truck does appear to give the most trouble. Just looking at the video, I am questioning why does that gray truck move so fast and not even the slopes and turns appear to make it slow down?

  • @rars0n
    @rars0n 4 роки тому

    I'm not the biggest fan of racing games in this perspective, as they're always a challenge to control, and Super Off Road is no exception. However, it does a decent job once you've spent some time with it, and I love the animation of the trucks bouncing around over the various bumps on the track. It's a great representation of off road trucks in a simple presentation. I really wish this game was a little easier, or at least offered an easier mode, as winning money and upgrading your truck is fun, but this is one of those games where the faster you go, the easier it to make a mistake. The AI is just brutally difficult.
    This is one of those games I come back to every so often because I remember how fun it can be, only to play it for a relatively short time before getting completely frustrated by the overly difficult AI. Maybe I give up too easily, but I like to win a race every so often. As it is, just navigating around the track without crashing or over-steering is enough of a challenge in itself.

It's incredibly fun and visceral as an arcade game, because you can go crazy spinning the steering wheels when you turn. I can confirm the ports are pretty good too, though. I've got it on Game Gear and it's actually quite decent even there.

    Almost any racing game can be won by matching the speed of the fastest car and using racelines when driving , which keeps the vehicle moving in a straightest possible line and shortest distance around the track. If you can steer the race lines and can match speed with the number one car, you will win. Doesnt matter what game.speed and steering.
