Developed and published by Sega in 1988
Powered by Sega's Y board arcade hardware, Power Drift really is a graphical tour de force; it's amazing to think this came out in 1988!
TH-cam's aggressive encoding hasn't done much for the video quality - it should improve if it decides the video is popular enough and starts serving up a VP9 version.

Excellent graphics for 1988; I'm really impressed with all the sprite scaling and rotation. The soundtracks good too, as expected from a SEGA game
Should have been on Sega cd 💡
@@rustymixer2886 the sega cd wouldn't handle it.
@@novostranger no?
@@novostranger they could had tried, a game like space harrier has been ported pretty much every system and power drift itself was ported to the turbografx16/pc engine, a console of the era.
@@wertyxq3468 this is a racing game tho so there is no way this would have worked on the Sega CD I can 100% guarantee you that
First time playing this was on 3DS... god, it looks and sounds even better than I remember!!! I can’t believe this was made all the way back in 1988!!!
This only shows how stripped down consoles were to cut costs.
@@dagainz6997 It's more that the Super Scaler series of boards were much more powerful than typical arcade hardware. Most other boards were broadly equivalent to Sega's System 16, which the Mega Drive hardware was based on.
Also the 3DS is more powerful than this board.
Still loving this type of graphics to this day. Sega was on it back then.
Wished they made new game like this
The Super Scaler games from the '80s really were something else. It's amazing to think that Space Harrier was released the same year as Gradius and Legend of Kage.
Graphics like these and sprite manipulation to such extent in 1988? What kind of wizard did this xD
Pitu Ditu Yu Suzuki
It used the Sega Y board which has three 68000's and was designed to do sprite based pseudo 3D games and basically nothing else. Sega's 16-bit 3D arcade boards are kind of weird with all sorts of specialty layers for 3D graphics effects but basically incapable of doing tile based scrolling games.
The same wizard who developed Space Harrier and Hang-On, Yu Suzuki!!!
Its an arcade, back then Arcades were always above everything
Now look up 'Winning Run' by Namco which came out later the same year. It was the first 32-bit 3D polygonal arcade game on the market (only released in Japan at the time).
As a kid, I loved racing games and the soundtracks to them, and this game is no exception.
Still love playing this in 2024!!! One of my favorite games ever at the arcades....
I used to play this at the cinema. I loved how it panned around the entire track at the start. That was mind blowing graphics capability back in the day.
That's my opinion, too
Possibly the greatest win screen ever...
The fans coming at you saying "You're handsome boy",the general people saying "Congratulations",etc…
Great graphics for 1988
yes, Power Drift has the same engine graphics from galaxy force arcade machine
To be honest, the one that blows me away the most is Space Harrier: Just go and have a look at what other games from 1985 looked like and you'll see that Space Harrier looks like alien technology when compared to them. 😆
Sega's super scalar technology was second to none.
I love this game which reminds me of my youth, I played it a lot on arcade machines at the time
Before Super Mario Kart, there was Power Drift. 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Yes
Although many people always compare this game with Mario kart, actually both games are very different.
This game not even look like kart racing. Besides that there's no formula such as mascots, weapons, items, etc used on Mario Kart that cloned by so many devs later (Chocobo Racing, CTR, you name it).
Not sure why so many people thinks that this game is the root of Mario Kart. It's just generic racing like Outrun / Hang On but using terms Kart Racing
@@chandramartika2779 And karts like this can reach 244kmh?
My favourite driving game. Played it loads when I was 18. Never finished the Afterburner stage to my eternal shame. :(
My all-time favorite driving game! I never was able to reach the motorcycle bonus stages. I didn't even know they existed - after getting all 1st on the A, C, and E circuits, I just assumed there was only the fighter jet bonus stage.
I don't know why Yu Suzuki decided to only have _Super Hang-On_ and _Afterburner II_ as the cameo appearances in the Extra Stages. It would be so much fun to have _Outrun_ included as well.
I love how sunny this game is XD
It's really bright and colourful - just the kind of thing to attract prospective arcade punters to have a go 🙂
Makes me think of Japanese coastal towns on lazy afternoons, and playing this game in an arcade in a city like that.. ☀️🥰☁️
Stage A 0:38
Stage B 7:24
Stage C 14:10
Stage D 20:51
Stage E 27:35
Prior to the 16 bit era, the arcade was king. My Dad used to give me my pocket money on Friday and I'd be down the arcade on Saturday afternoon with all the other kids. If you were good, you could make 1 go last 15-30 minutes on some games.
Same here. During the 8 bit era, whenever an arcade port hit the NES, it was always graphically and sonically disappointing comparatively. It was all about the arcades for me back then...geez I miss those days!
@15:21 min...... THAT MUSIC USED TO GET MY HEART..... racing back in 1988.
I later became a Naval Officer, and whenever we did live fire exercises, that guitar riff @15:21 min went through my mind! hahahaha
I remember seeing this game in the arcades when I was a kid and how hard it was (at the time) to play and with the steering wheel that was not usual to have...
Simple and good times that don't come back...
A-fucking-men, bro!
Já tentou jogar pelo MAME?Hoje em dia jogos como esse tudo é possível
@@lucasnassar2778 por acaso ainda não.. mas vou busca-lo... :) Acredito que com a falta de prática ainda deve ser difícil... 😅
The way the track is rendered in this is super interesting. These pill-shaped sprites that are stacked and scaled to create the illusion of perspective. I think the original Victory Heat Rally model worked similarly, except with 3d pill shapes instead.
the stage B was the best challenge and the music awesome , the spirit and courage to win!!!! thank you sega for give some happynes to my youth
Don't know how many hundreds of quarters I pumped into this game back in the '80's. I see the Arcade 1up is bring this game back along with Outrun.
Thank you very much!! I've been searching for this for 30 years, but couldn't remember the name!
Technically this was the very first kart racer
Look like Caterhams to me not karts.
or a Roller Coaster Arcade game
It certainly was there was nothing else in 1988 featuring kart racing this was first kart racing game and first of genre this kickstarted genre there would be nothing else until 1992 when Super Mario Kart came out.
It actually is the first kart racer, but people ignored this game and praised Nintendo for starting this genre with Mario Kart.
@@Super_Chris_1995 So Power Drift was the very first kart racer and Super Mario Kart was the first console kart racer. Other than the 3D Classics Collection, Power Drift has never been ported?
The 7-11 in Altus, OK had this back in the early 90’s and I played it VERY often!! 💯
The kind of stuff custom chips would get you back in those days. Eye popping, and a premium arcade experience only sega's brand could provide.
@Newsbender I had Amiga version back in the day, and yeah, like so many arcade conversations, it was a disappointment. However, the PC Engine version was quite excellent!
This is a modern marvel of 1980s. I cannot believe how Sega's developers could create this kind of game using assembly language.
This and Outrun were my favorite when I was a kid.
5:50 Well... Wasn't expecting that at all! At first, when the car started flying, I tought the game/emulator had glitched out. LUL
The first time i played this was on the c64 back in 1990,loved it then but never seen or played the arcade version until now! Amazing but have to say the c64 did a good job of it at the time!
Yes, and amstrad, too
Chris Butler was a really talented programmer, for my money one of the best on the C64.
You Definitely NEED a Steering Wheel to Fully Enjoy this game IMO.
A control pad will not be the same here.
Great game it almost looks like to be the precursor of mario kart:😁
We need a Powerdrift 2024 still in 2D but souped up with the best 2d processors.
Nintendo 3DS had it.
Awwww the memories. Superb game back in the day in the Arcades. Have it on 4DS and Dreamcast. Both versions excellent port
Just a heads up, there’s a game someone is making called Victory Heat Rally that uses the tilting & 3D like sprite technique. It looks freaking amazing
It just dropped a new demo yesterday, and it's looking to be one of the best indie retro racers to come out in recent years.
@@GoldStorm07 demo watch on youtube ?
Holy cow. I remember when I played this at the arcades when it came out. It was really cool
Me in elementary school: "If you get first place in all the races you get to fly an F-14 Tomcat in a bonus race"
My friends: "You are such a liar"
This video ...
I played this game in those times...the machine was big and tuned...was the spectacle of the machine center...,very nice.
I remember thinking it was so funny that every other guy you'd pass, the driver would always look back and wave "bye bye sucker", it was so funny and in your face
I had the comadore 64 version bet if this had come out after mario kart some one would of said rip of actually as it dates mario kart by about four years is amazing as the game look really good for 1988
Let
So many memories of my summer beach vacations. I can't remember if I ever reached the 4 stage
I'm always amazed at how ridiculously good you are at these games. It's uncanny.
A lot are tool-assisted, but some aren't - it depends on the emulator/program.
I wrote an article on the subject: www.vintageisthenewold.com/feature-longplays-a-guide-to-preserving-gaming-history/
@@AL82RetrogamingLongplays Was this specific video tool assisted? I find it hard to believe a human player can get to the bonus stage 5 times straight :)
@@ph0zz it's very hard to finish even with mame
I played It on the arcade in 1990 and later bought It for Sega Saturn. Now i play It with MAME and amstrad emulador on my PC
In disbelief this game came out in 88, no way....
So terrific on the 3DS with the excellent 3D feature.
The arcade game looks more forgiving than the 3DS port but I suppose I'm biased. Both versions have the audio bug when the motor engine keeps going between the races though
Power Drift: When you really want to render textured polygons, but the technology hasn't become available yet, so you uses scaled bitmaps instead.
I have been trying to find what this was for years. I played it as a kid at my local swimming centre in the 80s.
That keyboard solo is epic!
1988...woah
1:33
You are one *fast dude!*
Spent many a saturday afternoon at superbowl leicester on this back in the day
You won't see it here as this player favors Jason, but the same "taunt" voice is used for all characters, including Emily and Lucy.
Fun fact! The coin sound effect is the exact same sound you hear in outrun turbo!!
@Vibe bruuuh XD
Also the same sound effect when you get a bonus life in After Burner.
@@1976P Really?!?!?!
Nice tune!
He looks like Biff from Street Racer !
Afterburner!?!
Galaxy force 1988 more beautiful than Afterburner
Same Yu Suzuki
No litteraltly after burner is in this game! Lol 19:25
paulo roberto nah lol
"the triplets grows learn whats right
Leaders of the freedom's fight"
The fight against foreign trampling.
WOW it turns into AFTERBURNERS at the end!
I took about an hour to remember this game…
I remember this in the arcade.
did you know that this game is the first kart racing game ever made, even before Super Mario Kart?
Talk about a game that should have been a pack in for sega cd 💿!
To be honest, the 32X would have been a better bet. I don't think the Mega CD would have been quite powerful enough to do this justice, but a reasonably close port for the 32X should be feasible.
Every time I try to play this game in M.A.M.E, it is impossible for me to enable any "self-centering" option for the steering wheel... I have already tried to configure all the possible options from the TAB menu but nothing works...I hope someone can help me...😔...nice review, thanks.
Graphic was too futuristic for 1988
looks like 10 year ahead from 1980s
The first cart game according to Wikipedia.
I always wondered who was idiotic enough to live in those houses next to the track and if they could get insurance
Hi! Can I use some of this gameplay in a videoessay about the topic? I would very much appreciate it, thank you!!
Virtua Racing seems to have re-used some voice lines.
Omg, we need this gem on Switch.
What emulator is this version on please? I used to have an old Sega emulator that played this and a few other games, but I cannot for the life of me find it anywhere. It's not MAME, I have MAME in its entirety and that version isn't as smooth as what that old emulator was, which is also very similar to the version above, in fact the only difference I can see with the version above and the one I had was the gears were an actual up/down gearstick graphic and in the bottom right corner, not just a "L" or "H" ... If I can just find out what damn emulator was called, I'll be able to find the rest :( ... any ideas? (and it wasn't the Sega AM2 emulator, nor MAME as described above).

Hello I m french can you write the sentence that he said at the start when you insert coins 0:27 I never understand it since 40years "Welcome to ...????? ?? ???? ?? ??? and good luck ! " Thanks !
Looks like Street Racer a lot
YOU ARE
A HANDSOME BOY!
Is it a PlayStation? Superb for its age...
was this RAD Mobile and ABCop same engine?
They all used different revisions of Sega's super scaler arcade hardware.
19:25 what's after burner doing in this game XD
It’s the transformation lol
Never heard of this game. The cars look like a mid engine Caterham 7.
its only a plane or a bike too? in the end
Why does the camera rotate??
hey tomar it’s you
Wait.... I don't remember the car turning into a jet???
It only turns into a bike and jet if you score 1st place in all first 4 courses. A little easter egg from the legendary Yu Suzuki - designer of After Burner and Super hangon.
Great game, but the music on the c64 version is better. ;p
1:21 virtual racing stole this.
Considering the two games were made by the same team and both designed by Yu Suzuki... I'm pretty sure you can't steal from yourself.
Never saw this game before. Must have been an odd title.
It was in fact very popular. I used to see it in arcades, cafe's and pool halls all the time in Sweden and Denmark. The computer ports were well-hyped by magazines back in the days too. The C64 was pretty good, but a completely different game as the tracks couldn't tilt or rotate. Still it looked good and played well, most other ports were too slow to be playable.
@@AthleticDesign It looks like a grittier version of Outrun.
I saw it at Kennywood Park back in the late 80's and early 90's.
It was pretty popular and was ported on most computers by the end of 1989. A PC Engine version was also released in 1990.
@@alkohallick2901 It plays pretty differently to Outrun. If you were a regular at the arcades circa 1990, I'd find it surprising if you never saw this game.
Why did this never come out for Genesis?
Wouldn't be able to handle it. Many ports on computer consoles struggled to hit 10 fps.
@@1976P Even if they scaled it down like every other arcade-to-console conversion?
@@rcole718 I owned this game on the Atari ST. Granted the Genesis had more processing power and better graphics, many corners would be cut. The ST version lacked music, character animations and smooth scrolling. If Outrunners for Genesis is any indication, the Genesis version would pale compared to the arcade.
HD "remake":
th-cam.com/video/g3iKwfD6QFQ/w-d-xo.html
Geat game but confused at the sprites
This game is visual ADHD. So much crap moving around, rotating and scaling at the speed of light.
5:53 Morphs into Afterburner. These 2 were my favorite Sega games
