    I bought the sit down arcade machine off eBay about 20 years ago, amazingly it also turned out to be the exact same machine I played on holidays as a kid.
    Still never finished it though! It also needed branching paths like OutRun or at least a choice of courses, just the one gets a bit stale.
    BTW Sega also did that cutting the game in half for space with Captain Silver in the US, but not Europe strangely.

    A fantastic video my friend. A very under rated game this one. I loved Enduro Racer on the Spectrum, and it was the best arcade racer on the system up until that point. The 128k music was great too, very nostalgic!
    The "what were they thinking" cut scenes are hilarious :D

    Cool Video, thanks for that. The Arcade Version reminds me a bit of "Buggy Heat" which I played on Atari ST back in the days. Or the other way around: Buggy Heat reminds me a bit of Enduro Racer: Use jumps to come across rocks in the way.
    I still gotta visit the Arcade Museum in Seligenstadt - just 1.5hr from my home!

    Really well put together my friend.
    Yu Suzuki is a Legend. I never heard about a couple of ports you mentioned but the best has to be the Arcade version.
    The original Arcade with the bike looks so cool never saw one though :S

    Great video :) I often wondered what happened to Enduro Racer. As I also loved the arcade and spectrum versions.

    • @itsaPIXELthing
      @itsaPIXELthing  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I was thrilled when I realized that Enduro Racer got a Spectrum version! Loved it! :) One of my most played games back in the day ;) I was hoping that it would also arrive to the Amiga. But it never happened.

    Não conhecia a versão arcade, mas lembro-me perfeitamente de jogar a versão para spectrum em miúdo com muito prazer (antes de pegar no hang on), mas nunca passava do segundo nível... Por acaso, é dos poucos jogos que vou pegando quando ainda jogo alguma coisa no spectrum, mas lá está! O segundo nível é tão difícil que só me apetece partir tudo... (ou, então, eu é que sou mesmo nabo...)

    • @itsaPIXELthing
      @itsaPIXELthing  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      O 2º nível é mesmo complicado. Muitas pedras pelo meio do percurso mesmo não havendo saltos que nos permitam tirar proveito deles. E depois existem também os jipes! Lol! :)

    I honestly never realised how bad of a port the mastersytem version was. I've only ever played that version too so wasmt aware how good the arcade and other home ports were. I do really enjoy Enduro Racer on the master system too.
    Great video sir

    • @itsaPIXELthing

    "What were they thinking???" Pumba, enfrasca uma garrafa de wiskhy de golada para esquecer a magoa! Muito bom. Tambem tive essa versa ZX Spectrum e sempre adorei o jogo. Sem duvida, uma "perola escondida" dos anos 80. Agora jogo a versao arcade que é "the real deal". Excelente video como costume. Abraço.

    Boas Pedro..
    olha que tocaste num ponto brutal,e cm falaste tao bem,senao relembrasses,nem tinha associado o enduro ao grande Yu Suzuki,lembramo-nos dos "aclamados" e deixamos passar este despercebido e raramente ser "trazido á baila" nas conversas,a versao da Master System nao lhe faz justiça,ate lembra um bocado de Excite Bike,admira-me com tantos ports Arcades pra Mega Drive nunca tenham feito um,realmente uma pena,e principalmente com o "poderio" das consolas que temos hoje em dia,nunca ter saido um Arcade Port :( muito bom video como sempre,é um prazer aprender estes factos e historia por de tras dos jogos e desta industria,um enorme e excelente trabalho da tua parte ;) Grande Abraço Pedro!

    • @itsaPIXELthing

      Exato, a versão master system faz lembrar o Excitebike (e o Paperboy) :) Realmente, e incompreensivelmente, ficaram a faltar uma versão mega drive e até Amiga. Joguei tanto nas arcades e Spectrum. Mais tarde ou mais cedo tinha que falar sobre ele ;)
