I completely forgot about that one because i only tried to play it when Naomi 2 emulation wasn't that great, so i will definitely take a look at it now.
@@AkashicMemory Yeah! It's a lot of fun - like a crazy mix between crazy taxi and hangon. Controls definitely need to be adjusted if played via emulation on a pad - Kat Rollo has a good tutorial that works.
Came for the memories, stayed for the feels; these arcade games, those that managed to come over here in Europe, did make out childhood very special, even if we didn't get the deluxe cabinets. A nice retrospective. And nice on calling out SEGA for not using more of their scarf-tech from Hotsuma, they've been sitting on it and they never even made a Rider racing game. Shameful. Also, what remix of Outride a crisis are you using for the Super Hang-On section?
Time has shown that fans are doing better justice to the franchises than Sega themselves, so i can only hope. The track is "Outride a Crisis -Mickey Arrange Ver.-", from the "SUPER HANG-ON 20th Anniversary Collection" album.
@@AkashicMemory Weird, youtube just outright nuked my post. I'll try to recreate it : I'm ambivalent in these kinds of matters, Sega isn't exactly like Bethesda where the fans are defacto doing a better work than them; that doesn't mean that Sega is currently in good hands either. The people that used to be fans during a far healthier gaming landscape are now out of the game due to moneytery troubles and seek other alternatives, have been hired by other companies or they are flat out gone and retired and they sadly haven't been able to pass down their techniques or at least some kind of ethic or mindset for the next generation to cultivate. We don't live in the same era where a young Nagoshi would make a series that would take the world by storm simply by being inspired by the arcade games he used to play and his favourite films; I don't know what the future will bring yet but neither west nor east seem to be putting their best foot to welcome the coming ages. The best both sides of the globe can do right now is start by humbly working on game preservation and change a few minds from inside the company, at least that can be done. Sometimes, one needs to study the past and polish its relics to learn something profound that will bring success and improve upon the old. In less pretentious terms; we're still a long way from simply porting an imrpoved Sonic 2 on all systems without either the fans or the company messing something up, when they could both do it just fine back in 2008. Nice selection, I searched for the it and it's from before 2007 so it was a bit harder to find. Well worth the info though, I keep forgetting that Takenobu played the bass for these games and did arrangements for himself, despite being more famous as a composer and singer for a lot of saturn-era games. That and being Kagemaru and the very first Akira in VF1.
Actually Sega kinda did return to bike racing in 2001 with Wild Riders for Naomi 2. Flycast will hook you up ;-)
