Turbo was the game of my HS years. But, no you didn't get to drive through the other cars, and it was the worst when they switched the tracks and crashed you into another car as a result. But this game was huge fun, I miss those days in the late 70's and early 80's, a great time to be growing up. Jupiter and Beyond Arcade, that was the place to be in those days.
Graphics like this were unheard of in 1981--even in the arcades (remember "Pole Position" was a year away at this point). Sega was way ahead of everyone and they continued to amaze with games like "Zaxxon" and "Buck Rogers" in 1982.
@@mwelle1 indeed! sega always pushed it. many other examples being hang-on, sonic, virtua racing, virtua fighter, daytona USA... constant wow factor and with excellent gameplay to match!
I haven't played the game or seen it since I had the Colecovision and steering wheel.... Yea. The scenes brought back the memories, the curve, im like oh yea!
Oh the amount of money I spent playing this game as a kid. Although I don't remember being able to just drive through cars like this. What is this, God Mode?
Enduro for the Atari 2600 was actually quite similar, love both Turbo and Enduro, absolutely mind-blowing at the time and still enjoyable. Thanks for the video and the memories :-)
I still can’t get over how amazing this game looks, especially for 1981. I mean, the graphics are on par with Nintendo’s F-Zero, and the was a decade later! And in terms of realism, well... it’s the best in its class for the time period! Pole Position has nothing on Turbo!
I agree with that,while it is true true that f-zero used mode 7 but i was all just flat and boring with no obstacle in the way or something like that,in fact i find all that hype about mode 7 on snes really exaggerating back then,i can hardly believe that mode 7 became a detriment in the console wars of being the most powerful system,also nintendo was just cheating by sneakingly implement chip enhancements in their games to make you believe that the snes was sooo more better and upgradible as opposed to the genesis,wich is nonsense, Yes i say this as a snes fan.
Only after 40 years we can come and tweak the game and get 4 extra cars.... lol.. I would have never made it that far back in the 80s.... such a great time back then in the arcades ....
Watch the movie. During the backstory exposition scene they show footage from this game. The game that replace Turbo in the movie was RoadBlasters, which is also a real arcade game.
The "Turbo" character from Wreck it Ralph is based on the cabinet artwork for the arcade game RALLY-X. Check it out, you'll see the similarities right away.
Never understood why Pole Position was so big compared to this game. I liked Pole Position, but for me this game destroyed it and was out a year before! Hills, tunnels, snow covered road, bridges, sunsets, city driving, the ambulance, background landscape chnages.....I mean, it had so much more variety than Pole Position.
I mastered this game 40 years ago. Probably not that hard to do but it was fun to play one anywhere and set the high score. People would watch me play.
Duuuude I totally forgot about this game! I think I remember seeing it in a local bowling alley 20 years ago! Don't think I ever actually played it LOL
Brought back so many memories my uncle had the cockpit cabinet in his basement among other arcade games and this was my favorite as well as mr do and bagman
What brought me here again was seeing this game in the montage of video games that shows up in Godfrey Reggio's "Koyaanisqatsi" (1983). It's supposed to convey a growing sense of dread at a world consumed by digital violence as entertainment, but watching it now, I just felt nostalgic. "Hey, Defender! Stargate! Robotron: 2084! He got all the good ones! And that awesome Sega racing game, I forgot what it was called."
I loved this game, would spend a few hours at a time on it or until my loose change ran out. Used to knock up getting extended plays and would come back week after week to see I was still the highest score.
The first time I played the actual arcade was at a Aladdin's Castle 38(ish) year ago. It was in a sit-down cabinet. The last time I played the actual arcade was last year at my local arcade (The Box Arcade) in a upright cabinet. Our arcade still has it. I can make it to round 2.
I remember playing this game as a kid, and my mind was blown. I asked for it for a Christmas present and I got Car Wars instead (had a TI99). Needless to say, I was a little disappointed.
You had a Sega home console in 1981? Was that possible?
6 ปีที่แล้ว
I remember playing the sit in cabinet version of this as a kid at a local arcade... 'Cyanide Across My Heart' had been on on the jukebox and I was watching the action replay of Warlords while my mate finished his go on one of the many other old skool games (not old skool at the time!)
This was one of my favorite arcade video games back in the day. I was pretty good at it too; I usually qualified for the bonus stage (needed to pass 30 or more cars in the timed part of the race to reach the bonus stage) and often was able to post a top 10 score. People who posted a top 10 score could post their initials/a 3 letter code on the leaderboard. The most amusing things about the game in retrospect were 1) the ambulance that came up behind you in the middle of the race that was indestructible; you needed to dodge cars coming up in front of you AND avoid the ambulance coming up behind you at the same time, and 2) the ice road areas where you could either go slower but have control in low gear or slide around the road but go much faster in high gear. It's amusing to think about ambulances going faster than race cars and icy areas on an Indy Car/Formula One race track, LOL. I still wish this game was released for the Atari 2600 or perhaps as a retro game on the NES or Sega Genesis. It was released as a feature game on the Colecovision, but I never had that console.
I found this awesome all in one cheat for Mortal Racing :) facebook.com/Mortal-Racing-Unlimited-Gems-Astral-Gems-Cheat-572331939582870/?pidid=f74532b2-9596-4146-8abf-d82e08cc432b Arcade Game: Turbo (1981 Sega)
As it says in the description, an invincibility cheat was used in order to show all the backgrounds so those who never made it far into the game can see them. At the end, he crashes all his lives and ends the game.
You could avoid crashing a lot by jerking the wheel left or right when you came up on much slower cars. In Turbo, you couldn't use your wheel like you were driving an actual car, LOL.
That was Sega Monaco GP, a very similar game with a fully top-down view and a VERY similar cabinet. I remember that machine because on the attract screen, when it showed the tunnel part where the headlights come on, you could control the on-screen car with the steering wheel, in essence getting about five seconds of "free" play.
All these years I always wanted to know the name of this arcade when i 1st saw it in a bar room when I was a kid. Now 33 years later it pains me to realize....how UNFAIR this game is lol :(

Every time I came across this game as a kid, I was able to set the high score. One of my favorite. Haven't seen one in 25-30 years.
I used to love playing this game at *Showbiz Pizza Place.* Yes, I am _that_ old. :)
ME TOO!! I have this game on my ColecoVision! Except I can't play it without the steering wheel controller.
Same here, man. Those were the days...
Absolutely a retro classic. Played this in the arcade as a kid and I was terrible, but I loved (and still love) the game :-)

Duuuude I totally forgot about this game! I think I remember seeing it in a local bowling alley 20 years ago! Don't think I ever actually played it LOL
Pole Position was great, but something about Turbo always stuck with me. Monaco GP is another favorite.
In the Sega games, it was a cross country race while Pole Position took place on various racetracks.
Brought back so many memories my uncle had the cockpit cabinet in his basement among other arcade games and this was my favorite as well as mr do and bagman
I guess the “hit/crash detection” was off..?
8 years old at the arcade. This had a gas pedal and steering wheel. Fast and colorful. I always felt I got my quarters worth.
wow!!! i remember this game!! spent many quarters playing this game to master it!!
Had Turbo for coleco vision with the steering wheel with the gas pedal.
I bet that was awesome
Played this tonight at Retro Arcade in Wildwood NJ, pretty cool.
Used to play this at Showbiz Pizza back in the day!
Everytime you pass a car in this game, it sounds like an Apple 2 starting up.
He crashed millions of times, invincibility cheat on I’m sure

Jj from cannon ball run
Oh, yeah. The ambulance beat everybody no matter what.
Last time I seen this game I was about 6 years old I’m 41 now. I even remember the steering wheel
Wasn't sure if I truly remembered this game until I saw the hill part and then totally remembered it. I played this a lot.

Pretty amazing how they used VCO's for the scaling, analogue all the way!
What's that fucking noise at the start? The "scare the shit out of the operator that just turned it on-o-matic"?
thanks for sharing Old Classic Retro Gaming
Still one of my favorite racing games.
Played this game a LOT at *Showbiz Pizza Place.*
Am stun that this game was never ported to the master system but it was in average ported to the colecovision.
Pole Position came out only 1 year later and blew this away as far as graphics and ESPECIALLY sound
I remember playing Turbo in a laundromat.
I remember playing this on Colecovision with the wheel add on controller.
fine graphics technology in 1981

1981? Man Sega were technowizards back then.
They make any game look 3d back then.
I remember the sit-down cabinet, I'd like to make a replica
Is there a cheat mode on this?
Considering super scaling tech (Space Harrier) was still 4 years away, this was impressive for 1981.
Is there anyway to play this online or in an emulator? All the roms I've tried do not work well.

How do you pass through the cars without crashing?
Is this fake or cheat ? He drives through so many cars ... 2:17
Read the description, lol
This game was a big deal in ‘81. Spiritual sequel to Sega’s Monaco GP, which was also a stunner in 1979.
The car sound doesn't sound like the arcade cab. No collisions?
Please rom of this game with sound
And how do you make your car invisible???
Turbo fans be like: *GOTTA GO FAST!!!*
best arcade game ever
I thought the car had lights on in the tunnels? Am I thinking of a different game?
I realized what’s wrong with the sprites. It’s not done like outrun or anything, they’re just taking sprites of a specific angle and skewing them.
Pole Position was good but I preferred this for some reason
I have the arcade version of this in my house. One of the wires don't work though ;(

Play this game while listening to Turbo lover, its more fitting.

What are the settings on this game? If you come in contact with a car, you crash and start back into your position! This didn’t happen on here at all!

That ambulance!
139,295 points! Awesome!!
Where's the download link!!!
Coleco did a great conversion of this for the them.
The ambulance 🚑 in this game had a Ferrari v12 engine in it and was much faster than any of the cars racing :p
It’s gotta get to the hospital ASAP...
Kinda weird that one of the ambulances was leaving the city at night/morning. I guess the hospital was closed there.
You crashed so many times. This used to be my favourite game
You could avoid crashing a lot by jerking the wheel left or right when you came up on much slower cars. In Turbo, you couldn't use your wheel like you were driving an actual car, LOL.

I hear that game-which has full-color graphics with shading and everything, and extremely varied scenery-did not even have a CPU.
@@leroyvisiongames2294no it was a dedicated circuit board. Last they made before switching to CPU

I remember playing the cockpit version at a resturant when I was a kid, good game, I wish you wouldn't cheat...
D.A.R.Y.L. is playing.
Turbo tastic! Glitch screen
Turbotastic!
How did you manage to get sound effects in the game? I have MAME 0.188 and there isn't a single sound played in the game.
You need sample files for this to get the sound to work. Download it from here and put them into the samples folder. www.progettosnaps.net/samples/
It works! Thank you!
Wonder why it wasn't on the SMS
They probably forgot about it.
Wow, impressive for its age. Collision detections seems rather forgiving, but that might be OK, as in Outrun it is way too sensitive.
Ready Player One brought me here...
God VCO Object scaling is so goofy looking. Thank god they redid the hardware for hang-on
Hang On used a blitter to handle sprite zooming.
A bit of a take: Never liked the sounds of Sega’s late 70s-early 80s output. They just sound really harsh and just unpleasant.
