There are many classic games that don't get the praise that they deserve. I can remember being so excited when I got the Nintendo NES for a 🎄Christmas🎄 🎁present.🎁 As I've said before, after that, well I was hooked when I got an Atari 2600, also a 🎄Christmas🎄🎁present.🎁 I loved video games and I got my first ever job which allowed me to buy more systems and games. Heck before that I would shovel ❄❄snow❄❄, 🍃rake🍂🍁leaves🍃, clean up people's yards, wash cars, whatever, and save my allowances too. One other system I feel wasn't given much credit or time was the TurboGraphx-16. Bonk's Adventure and Bonk's Revenge were two of the best "side scrolling adventures" to ever come out. Now decades later channels like this are going to help me in my quest to regain some of the best retro games that were released. Quite a few of them are available, but extremely expensive so knowing and seeing them played helps a lot!
This game was released in 1998 I was 13 years old at the time, Midway video gaming were amazing, This was one of my favorite racing games, I had my own game also I use played in the arcade version the graphics were amazing! Back in the late 90’s video games were getting huge!
@@boxMAN29 around the late 90’s very early 2000’s going to the new millennium every video game graphics we’re being to be awesome even the arcade games was well.
Um.. What? 1. I find that offending. 2. I never said this game was better than Test Drive.. I said California Speed brought back memories. What the hell is your problem?
Well, if you would of asked (which you hadn't), I would of told you that amazing is in the context of nostalgic, not that the game is any better than Test Drive.
If there was any old-school racing game to remake from the "Crusin'" era of racing games, this would be at the top of my list. The stage designs are really unique - bringing out the more exaggerated representations of California was a huge reason I dropped many quarters into the arcade and got the N64 version! Dat moment: --when in Silicon Valley, you end up driving into a computer; --when in San Francisco, you bypass all the traffic by driving on the cables on the sides of the Golden Gate! Those stuck out the most for me. =)
The N64 version honestly doesn't have some of the effects as the actual arcade game does like there's a Stealth fighter that tries to bomb you when going through Fort Mojave.
The graphics are bad. Flat out bad. Actually, "flat" describes most of what you'll be seeing it's still a decently fun mindless racer when you get used to the control. Mindless racer being the type with absolutely no technique, just press gas and watch the screen unfold.
I don’t understand the criticism this version has, You guys gotta understand the limitations the N64 had, N64 cartridges were small in space and couldn’t hold much (a regular N64 cartridge only held like 16-32 mb), that’s why it’s not exactly like the arcade version but I like both the arcade version and the N64 version the same, both get a 4 out of 5 in my books UPDATE: Ik N64 cartridges reach 64mb but 64mb N64 cartridges were non-existent when this game came out in 1999, the max at the time during this game's release was 32mb, 64mb N64 cartridges did not exist until Conker's Bad Fur Day which was released in 2001.
when i was 10 or so i used to play this with the neighbor all the time. i remembered it and downloaded a rom recently, only to find out what a boring game it is. sure reminds me of fun times from a long time ago, though.
how come every gameplay video of California Speed has people using WASD instead of analog steering? it's just jarring to watch. Also since you're not using analog steering, you're going to oversteer every single time.
This game would have been so much better on the PS1. From looking at ROMs, the arcade version comes in at around 600MB I think while the N64 ROM is just under 15MB.
Most of that rom size are just the FMV files of the arcade and higher quality textures. The assets themselves and their textures would be still be downgraded on PSX but the audio FMV will be nearly the same as the arcade. Then again, the precedent set by the PSX Rush port being ass put any possibility of this port aside.
There are also the Fuji, Clover, Oval, San Andreas and California tracks that weren't covered here. The first three are dedicated racetracks; the San Andreas track puts you in a canyon on the fault line, and 'California' supersizes you and sends through the entire state like Kaiju NASCAR.
El Lukytas Es uno de los juegos menos conocidos de la Nintendo 64, pero tambien uno de los mejores juegos de carreras de la consola, solamente superado por Diddy Kong Racing y Mario Kart 64.
1gb is actually enough for this emulator, whats make it difference is the processor you are using, but having 1gb more ram can improve performance especially if you have some program running on the background
Wow the old style racers from those days were fun. I remember when Pole Position was released. Then they made arcade games where you could actually sit down inside of it, like a car, sort of, but not completely. Then the Moto GP 🏍🏍Motorcycle🏍🏍🏁🏍🏁 game. They also made an excellent arcade game with a 🏍🏍motorcycle🏍🏍 you "rode" including the throttle. It was awesome. Then of course they were released for the home gaming systems. There were straight-up racing games, and then they added some unique features. For example Road Rash. Another 🏍Motorcycle🏍 game EXCEPT in this game you also had to battle while you rode. Using a bat, ⛓chains⛓, and other implements in order to 🏆win.🏆 This was a blast and I immediately bought it. Later another battle game was Twisted Metal. More of a demolition derby than a race, but still epically fun! This is the main reason I love the Retro games. They may NOT be as graphically advanced as the newest games, but they were extremely creative, unique, and most importantly they were FUN TO PLAY! They didn't have agendas behind them, or political ideas shoved at you. Just plain FUN! I MISS THOSE DAYS IMMENSELY! 😪
I'd never seen this before, very impressive - much better than Cruisin' USA. This has a grand sense of scale - think the huge waterfalls in Yosemite, and every track has something unique and iconic. Looks like the artists and designers had a lot of fun with this one. The music is quite varied as well, and mostly quite good.
This game is sadly underrated.
The car literally sounds like a vacuum
I thnk it's because it looks like a poorer version of San Francisco Rush 2

This game controls like ass
The Golf Cart OWNED in this game lol
I raise you, The Forklift! LOL
21:52 Oh, I see Dolly Parton's trying sun tanning.
Underrated comment right here
Holy shit I loved this game as a kid. Completely forgot about it and that damn golf car 😂
24:57 The most positive sign in gaming!
Man I used to LOVE this game as a kid.
The Yosemite track is crazy: smashing through giant oaks without slowing down and climbing vertical roads, lol
This was such a great game to play back in the N64 days! Loved it!
I would love to see a next-gen remake of this game.
Plus a few more tracks would be nice
me too
I used to play this game on LSD.

This game somehow reminds me of the Cruis'n series.
Yeah well it was made by midway like cruisin and was ported from the arcade to the n64 like cruisin
Such an amazing game. Brings back memories. Thanks for the longplay... :D
Um.. What?
1. I find that offending.
2. I never said this game was better than Test Drive.. I said California Speed brought back memories. What the hell is your problem?
joman66 You said "amazing game" and this one is FAR from that..
Well, if you would of asked (which you hadn't), I would of told you that amazing is in the context of nostalgic, not that the game is any better than Test Drive.
hyg
joman66 i
oh my god i used to play this as a kid... the menu music is giving me chills lmao
If San Francisco Rush and Cruis'n USA had a baby, it would be named California Speed.
Fun fact: the resistors in the Silicon Valley stage are 420K ohms.
Some times god takes mommy's and puppies away sometimes just sometimes I do

Oh man the sound it makes while driving on gravel road really hit me with nostalgia
One thing's for sure: This version is VASTLY inferior to the one in the arcade cabinet
If you didn’t get to experience this game as a kid mannn you missed out miss those days
The N64 version honestly doesn't have some of the effects as the actual arcade game does like there's a Stealth fighter that tries to bomb you when going through Fort Mojave.
san franciso rush series was the best racer next to mario kart on the 64. Never tried this game
Wow, so ugly compared to the arcade version.
Arcade version is a lot more funner.
The graphics are bad. Flat out bad. Actually, "flat" describes most of what you'll be seeing it's still a decently fun mindless racer when you get used to the control. Mindless racer being the type with absolutely no technique, just press gas and watch the screen unfold.
The golf course was my favorite place in the game 11:14 AWESOME!!!!!
How trippy is that? Just got a N64 for the first time. I'll have to order this one.
I don’t understand the criticism this version has, You guys gotta understand the limitations the N64 had, N64 cartridges were small in space and couldn’t hold much (a regular N64 cartridge only held like 16-32 mb), that’s why it’s not exactly like the arcade version but I like both the arcade version and the N64 version the same, both get a 4 out of 5 in my books

64MB cartridges DID exist in 1999. The Resident Evil 2 port was made in 1999 and used one
@@solarflare9078 True but that came out months later after this game
This game is disappointing as a port, but on it's own it's a great and fun racing game.
limitations and censorship, but if ya look past that, yeah, your gonna get a good grip on this game i tell ya
when i was 10 or so i used to play this with the neighbor all the time. i remembered it and downloaded a rom recently, only to find out what a boring game it is. sure reminds me of fun times from a long time ago, though.

?'? Jjg0
I used to hum this music for hours after playing. Best racing game ever
You should play SF:Rush 1,2,and 3 (Rush 2049). Since those were also Midway racing games.
+World of Longplays (cubex55) I know he was tired putting he's name into that alot ahhh brings back such wonderful memories
+World of Longplays (cubex55) I have the Dreamcast port of Rush 2049. Do you have the N64 or the Dreamcast version?
The amout of re-used Rush 2 stuff is kind of amazing to me
This just doesn't compare to the arcade version.
I only got to olay this at arcades always wanted to buy it! Crusin world was fun too!
Yeah olay is my favorite lotion lol
how come every gameplay video of California Speed has people using WASD instead of analog steering? it's just jarring to watch. Also since you're not using analog steering, you're going to oversteer every single time.
Ja joguei demais nas antiga
Best game ever made!!!
Best game and fun too! If only Midway can bring that back and allow it for N64 app on Nintendo Switch!
what do you mean by long play? if you think 38 mins is along time, maybe you have adhd, smoke weed it helps either way smoke weed
Good game. But golf car have speed like ferrari) This just funny)
Some superb track design in this game.
This game would have been so much better on the PS1. From looking at ROMs, the arcade version comes in at around 600MB I think while the N64 ROM is just under 15MB.
Dreamcast should have gotten an arcade perfect port CS, why it was only ported to the N64 idk
Most of that rom size are just the FMV files of the arcade and higher quality textures. The assets themselves and their textures would be still be downgraded on PSX but the audio FMV will be nearly the same as the arcade.

Joguei muito no notebook esse jogo pelo emulador
California Speed great on the arcade but its a graphical disappointment on the N64
The arcade version is much better. I have this game on MAME.
It's doesn't have a hottest lady
i remember playing this game when i was younger
Será que sou o único brasileiro que jogou essa obra de arte? ;-; 🇧🇷
Eu joguei tbm kkkkk tinha uns 6 anos quando jogava essa belezinha
FAIRCHILD MY FAVORIT CAR

What's so strange is i think the game uses the same game engine from Rush 2.
Midway was the leader of Bad ports
not all ports were bad sometimes,
Ports were good for the most part, the problem was the games were never very good.
+Khristian4444 Atari Games made it in arcades under Midway
Do NASCAR 99 and NASCAR 2000
Mexico in this Game
xD tiene razón
uf eso fue justo en la infancia ....

I remember playing this game
oh my..... my favorite game!
My eyes hurt
Jogo legal.

I like the hatchback the most.
Do you think the 1GB ram difference will make any difference in gaming for these lower end emulation like N64???
1gb is actually enough for this emulator, whats make it difference is the processor you are using, but having 1gb more ram can improve performance especially if you have some program running on the background

This game is a lot like Rush. Is it also made by Midway?
Skaterloo Yes, it's also runs under the same engine.
Huh, that's cool. I guess Rush just got more popularity then. ^_^
Yes, it's the Rush engine, but it's been modified for this game.
this was a pretty slick game
That golf kart got sum turbo boyyy 🤣🤣🤣🤣 he hell now
Finding the secret roads was the best
I remember this track when I played it in a arcade in Oregon
The silicon valley track that is
i played that track in the 90s as a kid for the first time at Busch Gardens in Williams-burg Virginia. It was awesome.
Just picked this game up today CIB
Is this game available on Nintendo switch ?
Looks like Ridge Racer Underground stole the mall level.
San Fransisco ...Rush........
California ....Speed......?
copycat
I've logged many hours of this eith my siblings back in the 90s. Love this soundtrack too. I remember every melody and I havent played since 02.
The menu music goes kinda hard
so nostalgic !!!
the only downside...is the music :( The arcade version sounded more EPIC
이비디오게임 에서 계속1등만 되서 제밌습니다.
i still remembered the hours of gameplay with my brother :c
this was my firstest game i everd played in my nintendo 64

Whoa what an obscure memory this unlocked
Did you play it in Nintendo or pc¿
Pc
Played Do The State so many times it never gets old

Brings back the nostalgia.
Feels like Rush
