Man, I used to watch this video like once a week as a kid, because someone talked about my first game I ever played. Still holds up today, always a treat to come back
Just saw the new lego 2k drive game get revealed, and it srsly reminded me or lego racers, and I had to come back this video. Idc if I have watched this series 999999 times, your forgotten games series is literally the best thing I have seen on this whole entire platform I'm not kidding. Ur game reviews are just too good, I love how creative u are with these.
Sadly, from what I heard, LEGO 2K Drive is not that good of a video game. Also, I think that LEGO and WB Games working with Traveller's Tales was both the best, as well as worst, thing that LEGO did, as the companies that worked for all of those LEGO video games kind of did a lot of evil and shady stuff behind the scenes.
I remember being so scared of Basil the Batlord as a young kid, I asked my dad to help me finish his circuit. Seriously his and Gypsy Moth's circuits are insanely scary and difficult! Knightmarathon doesn't have any shortcuts whatsoever, Pirate Skull Pass lacks any decent stream of white bricks, and each and every one of the tracks on this circuit is layered with a lot of deadly traps and hazards, Adventure Temple Trial harboring the most out of any(that damm Lost Ark Lighting). For a child at that time, they were certainly hardcore.
Yes, they were! I remember Pirate Skull Pass being very difficult to warp on. And getting past that dang lighting always seemed like luck. But they were very fun memories.
Thats all i remember form having the game,i play it a bit but i never really used the computer we had when i was growing up im 14 now i still cant find it.
Hey Vectrex, don't know if you still use youtube or not anymore but oh well, it's been nearly 10 years and you're probably in your late 20's now. Even though this video hasn't reached 100,000 views, this video has still hit many hearts from a lot of us when we watched as kids and now I'm 16 still watching this for a game that's now 23 years old. Good 10/10 video, wish I found a way to play this game again.
Man I love this game :D Another thing you forgot to mention, everytime you beat one of the circuit champions, the guy on the front of the main menu changes. What I found a little disappointing was that, after you beat Rocket Racer, *your* character doesn't become the main guy on the main menu (Just so it acknowledges that you are the champion of all the circuits). That would've been cool :)
@@mrcoolguy32 that’s kind of makes sense OK leg since this game allows you to build like a lot of players it doesn’t actually know what type of player you selected but maybe it’s you just use the most recent player you raced with since it makes more *sense*
Seriously though. The warp zone is like so OP, it even puts Mario Kart's Bullet Bill to shame(At least that's my opinion). And the best part is you can actually spam the damm thing. So cool.
Oh yeah! The Bullet Bill usually can only be obtained by being really far behind or in the last three positions. But the warp can be used at anytime no matter where you are. Definitely one of the best power ups in any kart racer!
It took you only and hour and thirteen minutes to beat that Viranica bitch? I envy you. I've had this game for about 7 or so years and I still can't beat her.
+Iwan Takahashi I beat her. About three or four years ago. It took me about a month to beat her. Then I lost all my progress because my Lego Racers was on another computer then it wouldn't open Lego Racers. I had done the entire game. Then I lost all my progress. I'm currently doing Lego Racers, yet again!
+Zak Light I managed to pick it up again after a long while. I did a big grind on Time Trials and did a good challenge I created and managed to succeed. You can find the videos on my channel.
If you use the portal at a certain part of mars track, you can fall out of the stage right after finishing a lap. By doing this, the game respawns you near the end of the track and you save almost a full minuet!
You don't need an actual controller to do versus mode. You can add a controller to your hardware list without connecting it. Control Panel -> Add hardware, then select from a list of game controllers to add. It will unlock versus mode, but you'll have to change the controls in the options menu because it will default to controller buttons.
Wow man, I remember the fun my sister and I use to have playing this game on my Dad's old Dell desktop. The soundtrack is definitely one of my personal highlights of it :) I remember being so excited to create my own character & vehicle with the title song playing as I was building it :D
I remember going to my cousins' house to play this game, I loved to play it and it was the most memorable thing in my cousins' house, never beat basil though
Man it's been a while since i've seen this! i probably watched it when i was 13 still enjoy it (18 now) I remember playing this game on my old pc as a kid enjoyed every moment of it. this video is filled with nostalgia, I hope you're doing well tho!
14:24 Vectrex4Life: "What, a keyboard like this can't live up to it? Rocket Racer: "HEY! *Taps on screen* OVER HERE!!! PICK SOMETHING!!! I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE VERSUS MODE! PICK SOMETHING!!!"
This game and its sequel were my childhood. Drome Racers was junk, and I was heartbroken after they wouldn't release LR3. But we can dream of a very unlikely PS4/Xbox 1 release, right?
Solution to versus mode: Set up the controls for the second player. Or plug in a joystick. I was able to set it up for the same keyboard. We just got crowded...
Remember back in the day when most keyboards couldn't handle more than a few inputs at once? That is probably why you need another controller to play versus mode.
I love this game, I still have my copy from when I was about 3 years old! And I've never unlocked Veronica Voltage's carset. And I shat bricks when you pointed out Rocket City Run.
If I remember it correctly, I think you need a joystick IN-PLUGGED to UNLOCK the versus but you were able to play 2 players ON THE FKN KEYBOARD.. but u fkn need the shit in-plugged, so if u wanna play 2 players on keyboard go buy yourself a joystick lol xD
10:54 This all I can think of what he's saying: Hey look, we finally got to rocket-uh...wuts-his-face. In order to beat Mr. wuts his face, we have to race him on his track. Oh yeah, i totally don't looked stoned. Wait a minute when you start the racer it's says your going to Rocket City Run (The old beta-version name of rocket racer run.) but when you select the circut it says your racing on rocket racer run! I don't know if m wuts his face is taking me to rocket city run, or rocket racer run.
If you've ever played super smash bros brawl, I would love to see a list on that! Or maybe since you like Lego so much, top ten Lego games! Just thinking out loud here
This might sound improbable, but I beat Rocket Racer the first time I ever faced him, by some random chance. I couldn't prevail after that, though. I did also complete all the time trials some years later however.
+Vectrex4Life Awesome! Man I miss LEGO Racers. Gypsy Moth was the champion that took me years to beat! I jumped out of my seat when I beat her. It all came down to the last race!
My 2001 rerelease copy runs fine on Windows 7 64 Bit. I do have the original release of the game to. Though I am not sure if that version will run on Windows 7.
i remember i have alot of Dell (PC) games that are lego games! boy did i enjoy it. these are the ones i still have:Lego island , Lego island 2 , etc but for some reason lego island was having tons of major errors like Missing Textures (inside the info thingy place) Wrong Textures on wrong places (like roads,sidewalk,etc.) and thats all the major errors i had (85%)
Man, I used to watch this video like once a week as a kid, because someone talked about my first game I ever played. Still holds up today, always a treat to come back

Same literally coming back now as an adult and its still great. How could I ever forget that intro
are we going to ignore the fact that he has a racer called adolf hitler???
5:29 xD
xD
Aldo Roemer van Opdorp xD
Aldo Roemer van Opdorp Lmaoo
But he can‘t finish a race!
If you watched this as a kid and are returning, you are a legend and have great taste
Wish youtube still felt like this
Just saw the new lego 2k drive game get revealed, and it srsly reminded me or lego racers, and I had to come back this video.

***** It toke me almost 2 year to the game
he wuz hard cuz he wuz the only one who uses the warp on purpose other than rocket racer
I had it but one day it disappeared i dont know where cause i was only like 1 or 2.
Thats all i remember form having the game,i play it a bit but i never really used the computer we had when i was growing up im 14 now i still cant find it.
Basil the Batlord was always my favorite racer in the game.
Once i dressed as him at halloween. Really.
Same
Same here. He’s the vampire racer
I cosplayed as him once as a kid.

but seriously this was my childhood man. thank you.
I had lego racers for pc when i was a kid. Memories
Me too!

I also grew up with the pc version
Frozen Applejuice i 2
Same goes with me
Me to
I played it on N64
The simple novelty of character customizations and silly background music is what makes retro games so special
Thanks for going into so much detail. It really maxed out the nostalgia seeing it from opening screen to finish and all the glory in between.

LEGO racers was the game that basically got me into gaming as a kid
You can also use a steering wheel for Versus Race. Trust me, I have a Microsoft SideWinder Precision Racing Wheel and it works.
I am aware of that, that's actually a good way to play the game.
7:02 Thats not quite all. It will also deflect fire to the sender and if players touch you they get the oil puddle treatment.
I cant tell you the amount of hours I spent on this for the pc. Never got to beat it though.

Revisiting this gem after 10 years after the announcement of a new Lego racers game
Man they made you took I believe I can fly out of the video
Thanks! :) I'm about 15% done with the next review. But I can already tell that it's funnier than this one!
10:20 R.I.P. Headphone users.
I love this video and your channel
Your'e awesome
Keep it going!
xRealMadridHD Thank you so much!
xRealMadridHD never played this,
theirs people like you saying that it's hard at times, and it's to easy all the time.
Gamer Player shut up noname, was born before u
wow! i'm glad i still have my old computer to play these games.
I remember going to my cousins' house to play this game, I loved to play it and it was the most memorable thing in my cousins' house, never beat basil though

I still remember Lego island, racers, island 2, island exstreme, racers 2 and creator.
miss them so much
Damn this was 8 years ago...... one of my main inspirations for youtube videos.
Omg i also had the 'Media, High Voltage' Intro. It was sooooo lit! Such dramatic!

The nostalgia...
It just fucking hurts by now.
Glad I could bring back the memories! :D
I love this channel
Did you know that using the horn on the 1st race activates the cannon (when near)?
MY FIRST LEGO PC GAME I PLAYED
Embaixador KGM me 2
the evil archaeologist track always made me rage
it's crazy how this is almost a decade old lol i remember watching before having a youtube channel.
this game is my biggest love... I did play it when I was 5.... still playing it...
me too
but i don't play anymore
Solution to versus mode:

It was only on PC. But it's sequel was on PC and PS1.
This is the perfect time for a new lego racers game.
That's a great video. Lego Racers was my first game ever
I can't believe this came out 11 years ago!
Still a big fan, cant stop watching this awesome video!
KEEP YOUT TH-cam SKILLS UP MAN COME ON UCAN DO IT
Congrats with 1k subs bro!
P.s im 12 yrs
Thank you so much dude! Don't you worry, a new video is in the works!
I can drive with no hands. I must be the best driver.
I luv this video!!! i can't stop watching it!
That's surprising, haha! Thanks, but my newer Forgotten Games videos are much much better than this one.
***** I Know bro!! all ur videos are awesome, but this game was my childhood
wait why am i watching this the third time in like half a year?
Tbh this was the first PC game i had ever played in my life.
It was my favorite game for nearly 5 years!
Wow I remember this review from years ago.
ModmamiaMardmamia Thanks for sticking around, haha. I'm happy to say my production values have increased quite a bit since this video.
Vectrex4Life I lost my original copy of Lego Racers years ago sadly.
Thanks! Lego Racers 2 is next!
I need to go back and beat the time trials now. I never knew you could get her car!!!
I've got the N64 version. In that version, the versus mode isn't unlocked, even if a 2nd controller isn't plugged in.
1st on Knightmare-athon, 1st on Pirate Skull Pass, 1st on Adventure Temple Trail, and 4th on Alien Rally Asteroid.
I do have it, and I may review it once I play it again.
I love Redbeard, he is just so happy.
I love this game, I still have my copy from when I was about 3 years old!
And I've never unlocked Veronica Voltage's carset.
And I shat bricks when you pointed out Rocket City Run.
I never unlocked Veronica Voltage's carset too, I wish I there was cheat were can unlock everything
Okay, now let's check out the BYGG!
I got chills watching that intro!
Cool. Happy Holidays.
I found a glitch in lego island 2 where in the desert zone they were going to add another level but never did.
The Versus mode is actually only for 2 players
PC. Better graphics, and a better intro than the N64 one.
Bygg!! xD Regards from Norway!
I think he said "Brag" in a very weird way.
2018 anyone?
Yeah
2019, anyone?
I remember this game and i don't have it anymore!
Brings me back
Let's check out the BYGG! I love this so much. The nostalgia so thick it's practically tangible.
I love Lego racers 1 and you did an awesome review
Thank you!
If your in a racing game you don't need oxygen to survive in space
its so funny and cringy that he didnt know you needed atleast 2 controllers/joysticks to play versus mode
Mellow Fellow VA I'm 12 and everything is cringe
If I remember it correctly, I think you need a joystick IN-PLUGGED to UNLOCK the versus but you were able to play 2 players ON THE FKN KEYBOARD.. but u fkn need the shit in-plugged, so if u wanna play 2 players on keyboard go buy yourself a joystick lol xD
he jumped to second because he can use the warps too
This was really good!
Thank you!
BTW, does your comp. handle any modern-ish games? Like from ~2005 and above?
Or I guess anything from steam.
*****
Yep, it can play most games from up to 2007 on max settings, and games from the past few years on low. (Since I don't have a graphics card yet.)

you seem like the best person to do top tens. you should definetely consider it
Top tens are definitely coming! I already have many planned.
Great I can't wait!
If you've ever played super smash bros brawl, I would love to see a list on that! Or maybe since you like Lego so much, top ten Lego games! Just thinking out loud here
classclown six I have played Brawl. It's great, but I think Melee is better. A top ten Lego games video could work though!
I have seen that glitch on a video before. Thanks for reminding me, because I have yet to actually try it out.
This might sound improbable, but I beat Rocket Racer the first time I ever faced him, by some random chance. I couldn't prevail after that, though. I did also complete all the time trials some years later however.
Never forget:LEGO racers
BYGG
It's coming!
Did you play Nicktoon's Racing for the PS1? Can you review that game?? Great childhood game of mine!
+Brett Klima I actually played that game as a kid on PC. It has crossed my mind in terms of a review, so it is possible at some point!
+Vectrex4Life Awesome! Man I miss LEGO Racers. Gypsy Moth was the champion that took me years to beat! I jumped out of my seat when I beat her. It all came down to the last race!
"SPACESHIP!!!!!!" If you get that quote, you win a cookie.
That movie brought back Johnny Thunder.
Not that movie....
verus is locked is for its lego company only as a test
if u didn't know +Vectrex4Life there wuz also a gamboy color but it wuz mehh there was really 3-5 colors per race track
Yep, the GBC version wasn't too great.
was still pretty good for the GBC but not for anything else...
How do you unlock Veronica voltage in lego racers?
Luis Reyes Beat all of Veronica's time races to get her car set.
My 2001 rerelease copy runs fine on Windows 7 64 Bit. I do have the original release of the game to. Though I am not sure if that version will run on Windows 7.
Thanks man! Will do.
Lego Racers on the go? Hell yeah!
You using the tracks in several videos...
And I don't like that you jokes about Hitler....
vectrex4life this is like avgn but 8 years after the first avgn video
I wondered why the Lego owners or workers cancel all the old games and the those old sets too?
They think nobody cares anymore.
i remember i have alot of Dell (PC) games that are lego games! boy did i enjoy it.
these are the ones i still have:Lego island , Lego island 2 , etc
but for some reason lego island was having tons of major errors like
Missing Textures (inside the info thingy place) Wrong Textures on wrong places (like roads,sidewalk,etc.) and thats all the major errors i had (85%)
