I'm 46 and this vid made my day. 99.9% from perfect as the final tune was not played but wickedly leaving you in silence to have you think about that classic track when you completed the game for the first time.
Esse jogo é incrível o joguei no Sega Cd e foi um dos melhores que já tive o prazer de jogar pois além de ter uma boa jogabilidade a história e a animação são fantásticas .
Such a great game, had this as a kid on my MegaCD, when your only games are Road Avenger and Sherlock Holmes detective something text adventure...you learn to get very good at Road Avenger!
15:28 favourite level when you attack their village. I'm fearful is saying this, however "I would love to see a Stuntman scene style reboot of this level where you had more control of the car and replays like the game Stuntman.
@Ruby Williams No way Williams. Sega CD all the way with this one. Apart from the intro track, which still conveys emotions during the intro well enough at least, the jams in the levels are far more engaging and cruise worthy. Definitely worth having the mod for if you need the better visuals.
@Ruby Williams I think I will concede the final stage though honestly. The Arcade version is more dramatic + cinematic here, and appropriately so. The Sega CD version is doing what it always does being high energy and all, but that suits the rest of the game more than these tense final moments once your car crashes, and you get the ambulance etc. Good news is, with this ogg mod, anyone can mix and match now via Audacity. Take the Arcade intro and final level, Sega CD rest of the OST, or whatever mix someone else has in mind.
I asked him about this in an email in 2007 and again in late 2017 on twitter. I didn't get any straightforward answer. I would speculate that he isn't in possession of the original masters anymore.
Road Blaster is the storyline to Double Dragon 1 when Billy Lee loses his wife in this game. Hence the red car from the garage at the beginning of Double Dragon Mission 1 when his new girlfriend Marian is kidnapped by the Black Warriors, along with the helicopter from Cobra Command in Double Dragon 2 The Revenge when Marian is killed by the Shadow Warriors. It all makes sense now because the designer is Yoshihisa Kishimoto right before he was employed at Technos Japan.
This is an amazing job. Love that someone has the arcade laserdisc. I should blow through my LaserActive version and see if everything lines up on mine. Also, little things: 24:55 "Road Blaster" is tagged on the wall.
A little confession, as far as I can tell there wasn't any noticeable difference with the deaths, with no music and being short, so the audio from them is the arcade original.
Depends. Was the animation outsourced to Toei Animation? Because that was the studio producing the 15,000 cels for Road Blaster/Road Avenger. Another cartoon with a similar looking car (weird 3rd gen camaro / trans am mix) is Turbo Teen from 1984. Toei did the animation for that one as well.
@@houstonhelicoptertours1006 From what I have found it doesn't look like Toei was involved in the animation of Michel Valiant, yet looking at it just now stil strikes me as extremely similar in style.
@@trailersic Thank you very much. Just tried it, and this is fantastic. I like the music in the Sega CD version more, but I might prefer the arcade's more complex gameplay and better video, so this is perfect.
I'm 39 freaking years old... And watching this with a giant smile on my stupid face. Our future, is bleak.

When the game has a storyline that means something while being backed up by the coolest of looking cars that you drive in the world
Watching this without the indicators and just the Sega CD soundtrack makes it just.. perfection. Thank you very much!

@@jozefrockatansky1588 lmao :)
(while I know and have played the game)
This isn't a game...this is an experience!
Both arcade and sega cd ending themes are good. arcade more romantic while sega cd more malincholy.
This is like, the Mad Max of anime.
It’s a shame we don’t see much of the gangs leader.
Are we just going to ignore the fact that they drew the Hoff 4 years prior to Baywatch's release? At 4:19
This should be released on Steam (and every other platform for that matter)! Totally epic!
It was for some time for iPad available. But unfortunately it isn’t anymore in the Apple Store
Surely, this must be the best game ever.
Aw memories!! 🥺♥️
THIS SOUNDTRACK IS AMAZING!
One of the best games ever made.
Yezsss always wanted to see/play laser disc version with mega cd soundtrack
13:56
Cobra Command cameo!
15:28 favourite level when you attack their village. I'm fearful is saying this, however "I would love to see a Stuntman scene style reboot of this level where you had more control of the car and replays like the game Stuntman.
Love the animation for this game
Toei Animation. Same studio as Dragonball Z and Interstella 5555.
I always thought Motoi Sakuraba's Mega CD version soundtrack was awesome especially the final stage. Shame it was never released on CD or anything....

It's a MASTERPIECE

Best game opening ever
definitly!!!!
i found this game to be pretty challenging back in the day. I remember the load times on the SCD was pretty slow.
appreciate the effort to show us all the death scenes must have taken lots of time without a statesave.
A little confession, as far as I can tell there wasn't any noticeable difference with the deaths, with no music and being short, so the audio from them is the arcade original.
Mad Max Style
5:28 so funny haha
is there a version of this but with the Japanese opening instead?
you mean the Japanese language version of the song? Never thought about that. I mean wouldn't be hard.
Perfect vid 😉
I can't remember if the driver is either Billy or Jimmy Lee
Neither, since it's just a non-canonical nod at a past game
It's Bimmy Lee
1724 when the bird flies away HAA ha ah ha!

The car animation reminds me a looot of the Michel Vaillaint (Heroes on Hot Wheels) cartoon. I wonder if that is just a coincidence.

"The file you are trying to download is no longer available." RIP. Is there any way the ogg could be reuploaded somehow?
mega.nz/file/skUmhaxI#on8wLz_FNNr0H4d2FVNlYsYoF4TpOIXDw99NEdDJWX8 Guess it got messed up at some point.

I sold my copy to a game store in PA called Game Junkie .
Horizon Chase Campaign Red Hero Car
the car moves in such awkward way that it gives viewers a thrilling experience.
2D animation is great at a lot of things. But definitely weak when trying to do 3D
We need Michael Bay to adapt this game.
No thanks. He already messed up the Transformers IP.
