Least you weren't racing DEV GHOSTS so even on easier skills the other competitors would leave you sucking dirt, least in the original, you stood a fair chance just through some knowledge of how the game works.
I remember being 5 years old and my dad buying me a PS1 in 1995. This and Crash Bandicoot were the games I probably played the most besides Twisted Metal and Need for Speed. The soundtrack is just iconic and I would throw my wallet at whoever made a new Jet Moto! Ah nostalgia 😍
This game just randomly popped up in my head out of no where while watching videos of old sega genesis games. It's crazy that as I see parts of each course I remember how I handled each part and what my strategy was going into them.
It's been 23 years, but my palms are still sweating watching this. There were a couple of moves I wouldn't have done, but excellent gameplay regardless. Much nostalgia and muscle memory pains now.
It's such a shame that the sequels to this weren't nearly as good. This game actually felt Fast. The bikes in the sequels seemed slower and heavier. I would love to see a graphics-only enhanced re-release of this. Keep the handling, speed and physics all the same just clean it up with modern visuals.
The music was also MUCH better in the first game. Singletrac had great game soundtracks in 1995-1996. Jet Moto, Twisted Metal, Twisted Metal 2, and Warhawk all sounded amazing.
The Max and Wild ride were all I needed. Man, this was a true gem. I remember this scored terribly when it first came out but the level of skill and speed was ahead of its time. Hitting the grapple right into a wave without losing speed on Joyride just felt so good. Suicide Swamp gotta be my favorite map navigating the marshlands terrible graphics and pop ins lol
I was 12 when I first started playing this! I traded my Sega Genesis in for the PS1. I played this game nearly all summer before 6th grade. It brings back so much! Thanks for sharing.
I just noticed that myself. Lol. I don't know how I didn't notice when I was a kid (maybe I did and just forgot about it) because I used to play Twisted Metal 2 all the time, and I still come back to that one from time to time. I haven't played Jet Moto since the 90's though, and the nostalgia is hitting hard.
I showed this to my dad, and he laughed, saying he remembers it. Not only he loved racing on the big jets, he found it hilarious at how you can knock someone off their own. (Sorry. I don't know what to call the thing, other than just jets. I can't really call it a jet ski since these can go on land as well.😐)
Masala was so underrated. No acceleration but his top speed was fantastic and could easily push around the smaller riders. He was surprisingly easier to use for those starting out.
Probably my number one most played game as a kid. Was surprised to see that OP doesn't rotate away from the grapple turns on the suicide tracks. It's just as fast but keeps the rider upright.
Oh I remember this game. I didn't have a memory card so I could only play a couple levels and I wanted to play that night stage that appeared on the demo so bad.
I had the same issue with the memory card for a while! Worse, I thought the level codes that a lot of games had were cheating lol. So almost every game I played for a good chunk of my childhood I played from the beginning each time.
@@angry_zergling I did that with Tekken and Soul Blade. lol You had to beat the game like 15 times to get all the characters. That poor ps1 stayed on for like 3 days straight. Awesome memories.
Man I remember riding into the side of the ramps in that first level and they'd launch you way up in the air. Right at the bottom where the ramp starts. Best physics glitch.
God this hurts to look at. But it was so smooth and fun when it first came out. Amazing how far the technology has come. Can you imagine looking back at God of War 2018 and thinking it looks rough?
Pro Tip: Last Snow track if you turn your ride both ways, not just roll, you can turn the bike upside down, sideways, and tap the roof of the cave and still land it bottom down if you keep twisting and take it full speed. I use to do it all the time. Also BONUS FACT, that music in the track was also used in a TWISTED METAL game. Note the tire screeching sound effect originally made for that theme before Jet Motor.
Damn dude jet moto 2 and test drive 4 were my first playstation games. I'm 31 now and my original test drive 4 still works. I remember the wheels were basically circles painted on squares lmao. The pitbull special was a handful to drive cause it would flip and it had police cars that would stop you if they got in front of you. And the mighty maul was the McLaren
I just went through a season multiple times to unlock then to play the unlocked seasons..all on professional with Black Jack. super frustrating till I got back into the game like I used to as a kid.
This game was the game that made me buy a PS1. I was hugely popular back in the day. Dont know why Sony would sit on such an Awesome racing game. Bring back JET MOTO !!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
My kids play a game on Xbox one called rip tide gp renegade. I was telling them that I used to play a game just like it! And I put this video on. Ahh to be young again. I’m almost 33 and I remember playing this when I was my kids age.
3:08 it gives me upmost anxiety watching him drive through the waves. Hello you have like the small islands you can drive through around. I hated driving through the waves. You’ll literally go from first place to 10th in one shot.
One of the game of my Summer 98 one of my best summer ever. I was going to be 11. I know we're going to see this kind of race in Real life somedays, yet they want to release uber drone taxi in 2023 and for paris Olympie games in 2024. Just a little more patience ;)
I remember there being some exploit on the first level where if you hit the bridge/ramp thing at where the corner meets the water it would launch you super high and you could do like triple back flips
This one made me really feel like I was in it, it was such a rush, This was my favorite one on PlayStation until it broke and I got a Nintendo 64 and Goldeneye become my favorite
The first Jet Moto is a classic, although it is a bit hard where the AI is near perfect
Beating the bots was all about grapple use. Or if you were my cheating ass, playing Bomber and turboing through the crowd.
I used technician as a kid.
Agreed, but looking back now... maybe the only good thing ha. I mean, Mario kart is superior
Least you weren't racing DEV GHOSTS so even on easier skills the other competitors would leave you sucking dirt, least in the original, you stood a fair chance just through some knowledge of how the game works.
They just put this on the ps5 store
I’m 32 years now and still think about this game 😂 shoutout to my 90’s babies that still here let’s keep going y’all. Love y’all.
Yup me to 32 and this game popped up in my head had to look it up
33 and literally just came here cause it crossed my mind when thinking of old games i wish they'd bring back just for the nostalgia 😢
Yup. Same bro 😂❤
Just turned 29 tho
@@itsyanielxo aye man you 90’s baby and you know about this game!!! Stay safe out there man.
Makes me so nostalgic. Was like 10 at the time of playing this
Bro, same!
I was like 3
Yup same, when my dad still liked video games we would be on the living room floor playing this for hours
I was like 7 at the time
@@scuba616 this hits close to home 😂 that’s awesome

All such great games🥰 I was born in 90 as well and also got a ps in 95 lol we are getting up there in age 😅

Boy what are you talking about? Jet Moto 2 was insanely fast.

I concure, I had this a launch then bought the other two. This one is the goat of the 3
I had this at launch, it was a controller thrower for sure.
Those sound effects and music have to be my favorite part of the game 😅
I think this has been the closest I've been to crying tears of joy after all the vids I've seen of retro games. I can feel the nostalgia.
The Max and Wild ride were all I needed. Man, this was a true gem. I remember this scored terribly when it first came out but the level of skill and speed was ahead of its time.

I played this game when i was about 7. I came here to watch the game that was a major part of my childhood
Fun fact the same track for the blackwater falls level was used in twisted metal 2 farm level also snowblind is the la level on twisted metal 2
I was 12 when I first started playing this! I traded my Sega Genesis in for the PS1. I played this game nearly all summer before 6th grade. It brings back so much! Thanks for sharing.
OMG all these PS1 classics (Opera voice) THE FEEEEELS!!!!!!
i remember it took me a while to understand how to utilise those retracting poles... this was 22 years ago...
😂 I remember those
love seeing you take all those daring shortcuts
Had this on psx, but that was a long time ago, used to think it was a fever dream up until a couple years ago.
I never noticed before that they'd reused some of the music from Twisted Metal 2. Same developer, so it makes sense.
I just noticed that myself. Lol. I don't know how I didn't notice when I was a kid (maybe I did and just forgot about it) because I used to play Twisted Metal 2 all the time, and I still come back to that one from time to time.

@@FluffyBunny9002 Blackwater Falls is Holland - Field of Screams from Twisted Metal 2
@@FluffyBunny9002 which was btw my favorite track purely for that reason
I liked Technician! That was my Go To rider! 😀
One of my fav games from PS1. I remember doing many many tricks when I played though, I was almost constantly boosting because of them.
Idk what to say this just brings back so many memories
Crap I forgot all bout jet moto I remember playing this as a boy on ps1 should get a remaster for ps5
I showed this to my dad, and he laughed, saying he remembers it.
Not only he loved racing on the big jets, he found it hilarious at how you can knock someone off their own.
(Sorry. I don't know what to call the thing, other than just jets. I can't really call it a jet ski since these can go on land as well.😐)
It's so nostalgically beautiful.
Cheers 🍻 to all the people in their 30s that played PS1 games religiously as a child
Loved this game. Loved all the tracks especially the one at 37:55. Miss playing this
Ice Crusher is my favorite level and that music is just so intense.
I remember my mom bringing me to blockbuster renting this game man precious memories.
Haha yeah my mom would take me to Blockbuster a couple Fridays a month after school and let me rent a game for the weekend
Distant memories of drinking capri sun and playing this alongside Omega Boost, Crash Bandicoot, Einhander, and Blasto!
Masala was so underrated. No acceleration but his top speed was fantastic and could easily push around the smaller riders. He was surprisingly easier to use for those starting out.
I am an 85 kid and yes I had the NES but my PS1 was revolutionary I still remember all this and so much more. What I would do to go back.
Mom, can we buy Dick Dale Misirlou? No we have Dick Dale Misirlou at home! Dick Dale Misirlou at home:
Loved this game. Thanks for covering it!
god this takes me way back to the good old days
Ayeee Gunner was always my favorite rider. I thought for sure you'd pick either The Max, Wild Ride or Technician.
Ahhh! 2:03 he picked my guy! My brother always picked The Max and I always picked Gunner!
This game was cool! 😎
I remember the beach map, every corner and every feature!

I used to think that these graphics were pretty solid back in the day. Perspective is everything...
Now I owe it to my 12 year old self to go back and beat this game
The first game I ever had for PlayStation!!!! Christmas morning
Man I remember riding into the side of the ramps in that first level and they'd launch you way up in the air. Right at the bottom where the ramp starts. Best physics glitch.
nail it
Thank you! I was looking for someone that was talking about this

So nostalgic!!!!
I remember Cliffdiver being hella glitchy and counting some of the jumps as "falls"
I am 32 and this brings me joy, nostalgia
Quentin Tarantino style music, loved it then, still love it now. ❤️. This entire series needs remade for current and or next gen consoles!!!
Where the stunts at bro??
That's what I'm thinking! Please bro do a backflip!!
I was 12 years, now I am 36 :)
True!!!
Man pulp fiction vibes and memories,boy! You absolutely had to know the track and the shortcuts in order to win
21:37 LOVED this track and level!!!
The theme song will love forever ♾️
Night mare is yhe most hardest track i always fall off the yrack
seeing this makes me wanna cry ngl I use to play this on my old ass box TV and had so much fun if only I could play it again
Wow these tracks didnt seem that long during the time I played them. But they are really long..
damn, the madlad did it, 1st place for every levels!
damn I love this game

Always raced with THE MAX
Wild Ride is the best.!
Shiiiittt…This was one of the 1st games I ever had on PS1…Soon as I heard the theme music my mind went 27yrs back in time ☺️
Juegaso!! Yo lo jugue cuando tenia 5 años que buenos tiempos jugando la version de pc que salio de este juego juegazo!!
The character selection had me trippin out 💀 completely forgot about that. Love this game
Honestly looks like fun! I want to play it.
It’s about time this game came back out
you not certified if you haven’t played this. period 😂
Oh man the nostalgia!! And thank you for reminding me how ass i was at this game, and probably going to be worse now 😂
Man I feel like I’m in 8 th grade again …. Damn nostalgia
1st Jet Moto is in GOAT conversation... i spent too many hours on this game. Also soundtrack was 🔥
That singletrac logo brings back big nostalgia
Just got this on PS5, classic game. I hope they add Jet Moto 2 soon as well
3:08 it gives me upmost anxiety watching him drive through the waves. Hello you have like the small islands you can drive through around. I hated driving through the waves. You’ll literally go from first place to 10th in one shot.

3:02 is that a 7 up ad billboard on the left?
3:20 clearly mt dew lol jist so funny to see with such shitty, compared to now, graphics.
I fell into the abyss on ice crusher so many times, but it was my favorite track.
Nostalgia!
I swear this game used to look 1000 times better when I was a kid lol. I was the king of this game!
good times, I always picked a female rider, they always seemed to get the most air.
Omg CLASSIC!! 🔥
15:53 wow music from Twisted Metal 2 (Field of Screams level)
Imagine this on the PS5 on man The graphics would be insane
How are you not hitting the backflips off of that first highway ramp thing?? What is wrong with you?!?!!?

"Lookout Ahead" -------> "LOOK OUT!"
Still kills me.
I last played the game when I was 6.
I'm 20 now and still remember the tracks.
Still no idea why Mt.Dew had only female racers
If nostalgia was a drug I would've overdosed 😍
Best memories
Playing GTA online with the oppressor mk2 and I think to myself “have I been here before? Oh my god I’ve been here before.”
