Speed Racer in The Challenge of Racer X (MS-Dos, 1993)

[@iCraftDay]

I always played the demo.
I often waited 5 minutes after the start at the start so I have the road for myself

[@PaleHorseRDS]

I miss this game so much lol

[@LSSTmusic]

God, no wonder I sucked at this game a kid, you can barely see the obstacles at speed lol

[@felipetartas5434]

When I was a Kid I have played so well.

[@wanderer.1993]

I only had the demo...i used to love it!!

[@RadeticDaniel]

Since no one else commented, this video is bugging me deeply for not using the jump coils in the first race or the boost rockets at any point

[@tissuesstuff1016]

Better than the SNES game I guess...

[@fryncyaryorvjink2140]

Haha I love this game, those giant car sprites and the soundbytes are cracking me up

[@peashooteranimations8082]

Remember this was made for the DOS early pc there was no 3D

[@peashooteranimations8082]

Also just turn on the DOS sound chip so u can hear how the musics should really be

Did Peter Fernandez and Corinne actually record new lines for this game? It sounds it at points! :)

[@Scarab1233]

I was looking for this game like forever...
I used to call this game "Family" due to intro picture. I always remembered that there was a dog instead of a monkey. :D But still.

[@chartomosfil1278]

Any chance you know any trick? Like unlocking other cars? xD

This was originally going to get a Mega Drive port

[@SteveBrandon]

Aside from the licensed characters and the weapons, this game is how an early 1990s MS-DOS Test Drive game might have looked if Accolade hadn't switched to (very early) 3D for Test Drive III: The Passion. I can definitely see the Test Drive II: The Duel DNA in the way the road behaves.

[@Trusteft]

No.

[@gooshnpupp]

I remember this from childhood.
That shitty yellow car....

[@peashooteranimations8082]

We will race you again and we will beat you

[@armin6427]

7:55 the demo map

[@DOSRetroGamer]

This game looks really annoying today, but we wasted endless hours racing each other
Don't think I ever even started the single player 😁

[@RadeticDaniel]

But that was the fun part where you couls upgrade your gadgets and unlock the ones missing in first stage 😮
So many of these corners are just a well timed jump to get across 3 to 5 bends on the road hehehe

[@zeromusura3497]

With more polish this game could be much better.😕

[@dosdaysareover7781]

Yup, the graphics were pretty sweet for that time. Just the game controls were quite bad.

[@muhenjin4758]

I remember this Game a kind of better, 25 years ago

[@Django77SF]

melange still races...

[@kruzihbv]

melange has rabies

[@diemarkerin]

I used to love that robotic driver and laughed by butt about it 🤣 I always wondered what it said!

[@paperclip9558]

This game could've been waaay more playable and decent if they make the sprite much smaller. The gigantic sprite mixed with small ass track makes no sense at all.

[@RadeticDaniel]

It's called rallying nowadays 😂
Speed Racer is vaguely based in the interwars period of 1920's and 1930's with car designs taken from after WW2 in the 1950's.
Tracks are supposed to be a mix of road rally with small stadium sections and little villages

[@nrdesign1991]

Ah yes, just as terrible and goofy as I remember from the demo. Spent hours with it.
