seeing this almost made me tear up......this was the one of the first racing games i ever played on my dads computer .........having lost my dad recently this brings back alot of memories i miss you dad thnk you for introducing me to so many awesome video games and playing them with me
I got that game bundled with a computer (Compaq Presario) when I bought it back in 1998 and it was one of my fav games. The music was also really awesom.
Boris Terekidi Hey, we also got Moto Racer bundled with a Compaq Presario! If I recall correctly we also had Rage’s Incoming included, and another one which I can’t remember. However Moto Racer was such a blast, Speed Bay being the favourite track of course :)
Holy crap, you just made me blow up in a wave of nostalgia. I remember my parents buying me this game for my WIndows 95 Compaq Presario. This game used to blow my mind as a kid with its 3D graphics and textures.
As soon as I heard that soundtrack the nostalgia hit me like a truck. All that time I spent as a kid playing this game on my dad's computer is slowly coming back to me. Speed Bay will always be my favorite map. I swear I played that map so much that I barely remember the others that well. To be honest I don't even remember if my child self was patient enough to beat this entire game to unlock everything. All I wanted to do was ride a motorcycle wicked fast alongside a beach and knock the other racers over.
OK, what's up with late 90ies games, especially racing games, having the most awesome soundtracks? Whether it's rock, or house&techno, or whatever, it's all kind of on another level of awesomeness! Am I turning into an old person? Is this what being an old person is like?
I'll never forget this game, it was the very very first video game I had ever played in my life and was pretty much my all time favorite bike racing game until I played Freekstyle. Moto Racer was amazing back then and is still fun as hell today :)
I remember lending my copy to a "friend" of mine back when I was a kid and never seeing it again. Never quite got over it, never quite spoke to him again! lol
I don't have hardly any of the game boxes from my childhood either. Same thing: careless brother/self and parents who wanted the boxes gone to make space. I've had to find all these games again in their packaging over the past several years, since I now know their true value and how much I enjoy them.
Yes, Glide-enabled games often provided a far superior visual experience at the time. Anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, z-buffering, volumetric effects, lighting, etc. I have videos on the Voodoo and 3DFX cards that show the difference :) Wrappers such as nGlide and dgVoodoo are good ways to check it out nowadays though, and sometimes even make older games work better on modern systems.
MotoRacer and MotoRacer 2 are pleasant memories of late 90's PC gaming for me. Pentium II 233mhz, 96MB RAM, and a 16MB TNT video card - good times. Good Review!
3DFX was the shit back then. A BIG reason I am partial to PC's when it comes to gaming, they're always modular and therefore more capable of greater graphics than consoles, since consoles are locked to their components. I remember back in 1998, playing Tomb Raider II and MDK on PC and then seeing them on Playstation. I couldn't believe it was the same game, they looked so much muddier and pixelated on console.
Man, I remember having that game on my computer & playing it at like 6 & I am 16 now. I still have it. I am about to download that now just to play it again.
I had to persuade my father to buy this new game from the flea market. At first he didn't want to, but then he did it and we haven't regretted it. He even made a list of which motorcycle is suitable for which racetrack.
Hard to say. My favorite game with cars is probably Carmageddon 2. "Racing game" implies racing though, and C2 isn't really about racing. POD is a personal favorite, largely because of the atmosphere and my crusade to find every version ever made worldwide. Still, it can't compete with modern games as far as actual racing is concerned though, and Forza 4 is my favorite of the modern ones.
thank you so so much for doing these reviews and random vids! you manage to bring back so many memories from different years and stages of my life simply through video game reviews - which to me is pretty fantastic lol.
Correct, though I was only talking about the game being used to push the Glide-capable cards, not saying it had Glide rendering. Should've been more clear I suppose.
Had a Matrox Mystique when Motoracer landed, and the box said my card was supported for 3D accelerated mode. Yep it was supported - but the Mystique didn't have bilinear filtering support so the game looked same as software mode only it could be played in 640x480 with a super smooth framerate. My friend had an Orchid Righteous 3D and when I saw the game running on his PC it made by buy a 3Dfx VooDoo card. The Matrox stayed in my PC as a 2D card - and for the best Mechwarrior 2 version ever released (the Mystique MW2 was superb!).
I remember playing this on a late 90's Compaq Presaio with a 350MHz AMD K6-2 and integrated SiS graphics. It was one of the few games I had that made use of a gamepad for the PC.
LGR Thank you so much for this review. I've been binge watching your videos for months and this was one of my all time favorite games as a kid. Keep up the awesome stuff :)
I remember playing this back in 2004. The game was awesome and unlike most other games that I tried, it ran awesome on my 700MHz PIII Gateway with 128MB PC-100 and nVidia Vanta 8MB video card.
NO DOUBT man the input name screen was amazing the sound fx on thie game are just my favorite of all time this is my favorite true racing game of all time as well
Never Stop Your Reviews And Don't Make Them Shorter Keep Going With These! Unlike Most TH-cam Channels I Could Watch Yours For Hours At A Time And Not Get Bored! You're Awesome And So Are Your Reviews. Keep Up The Good Work! :D ~Harry
Used to have the PS1 version way back when it feels like now and played the hell out of it and damn, hearing that soundtrack was one huge punch of nostalgia. One of the first racing games I got into back in the day alongside the Gran Turismo franchise and Test Drive 5. Good times that literally feel like yesterday to me still. Thanks for this blast from the past, LGR!
I had a Matrox card when I bought this game, a Matrox Mystique 2MB. It looked absolute no different to Software mode on the Mystique but it ran noticably faster. I mean, it was as smooth in 640x480 on the Mystique as it was in 320x240 in software mode. A few months later I bought a 3Dfx card and it ran just as smooth as the Mystique did, only now with BiLinear filtering and looked so much smoother. Awesome game though. Great times had with this one at LANS.
Bruh, I played the shit out of this game and everything that one guy said is forever ingrained in my mind. I prefer the sequel though, especially the PS1 version's soundtrack.
Seriously dude, thank you for reviewing this game. This was my first ever video game, I remember playing it on my parent's old clunky Compaq computer on Windows 98, I still have the game disc on a place of honor here at my desk. Thank you LGR for hitting me with that little blast of nostalgia.
I played the hell out of this game as a kid on a family friend's pc and I totally forgot the name of the game till now..and I am so glad its on GOG. Thank you for bringing back memories for me.
Gotcha. Yeah, it's too bad it didn't continue to this day like other racers have. I'd love a modern version of this, with updated graphics and very similar gameplay.
When we got our first computer as a family this game came with its purchase. I still remember my dad laughing his head off watching me try and master the keyboard controls. I played this game all the time. So awesome to see highlights of it.
Not sure why but it's somehow so cool hearing one of my favorite youtubers talk about his experience in my town. Although Comp Usa is a relic these days haha
My god, I had this game, and it's one of those that I haven't thought about at all since I played it as a kid. I'm having a nostalgia freakout watching this, why are your videos so good at that? ;)
Played the hell out of this on a P 166 overdrive and a 4 meg rendition card. Seemed like it looked better than whatever this is on. A fun romp to burn a half hour back then.
Nice job on the review. I remember stocking this game when it came into our store. I loved it so much I brought in my PC (With 3DFX card) and put it on display with this game. I think I'm personally responsible for selling at least 4 copies of this game in '97. :P
Wow I was about to go to bed, then I noticed this video on your channel. I thought I was the only one who liked this game! I remember bringing it to school in 6th grade and playing it in the computer lab with my friend. The game is very light on the CPU so it was one of the few 3D games that worked really well with my Celeron 300 (no A) and ATI 3D Rage onboard graphics. I am going hook up that same computer and play it again in the morning!
This is my all time favorite racing game My cousins and I used to spend hours battling each other in the 90s Still got the game disc for Playstation Mint Condition 😂😂🔥🔥 This should be remastered for the PS5
I almost cry with that electric guitar sounds, so many memories playing this with my friend doing line one by one because just want of us could play at a time on my pc.
My brother and I used to love this game. When we got a new cpu we could no longer play it. But then, almost 12 years I remembered this game completely randomly and instantly got it on gog.com. It's just as good as I remember.
The more I watch these, the more I think about the fantasy of being blasted back into the 80's with my Dell PC and make people's jaws drop with the awesomeness of my somewhat powerful PC.
Fun fact: the announcer dude on this (as well as 2 and Advance) was voiced by Christian Erickson, aka Lance Boyle from the MegaRace games, and more recently Heavy Rain's "The Doctor". I seem to recall there were one or two lines where you could clearly tell it was him.
I've messed my pants, thanks for the nostalgia Clint. I played the crap out of this on a 166 MHz Pentium system with a Microsoft joystick a long time ago. Time to try and get it working on my modern machine. This, Grand Prix Legends with a Thrustmaster T1, and Lego Creator made my late 90s 5 year old brain go wild.
Looks pretty sweet! I remember seeing this one at just about every computer shop back in the day, but I never got around to trying it myself. Seems like I missed out!

This is a huge nostalgia trip...
LOL. That game actually ran really well.
Are you talking about the beard, or the game?
I still own this game
Seriously holy, all the menus, all the noises. Man
God I remember finally being able to wheelie pretty much the entire speed bay track. Lapping opponents in your 3rd lap ftw

same here
Also have a Compaq bundled with those two games. Memories. I sorta lost Incoming, but I think I still have Moto Racer lying around.
Same here! Loved this game. Still remember the first time I saw the spaceship.
Just bought this plus Moto Racer 2 during the GOG sale and I'm glad I did, thanks for the great review Clint
I loved this game when it first came out! A classic
gameplay didn't age at all
Hi metaljesusrocks love your channel :)
We all knew YOU would love this game! Obviously!
Shut the fk up
I used to play the shit out of this game
Whoa! somehow I never saw a video with that magnificent beard!
+David Holbrook just watch Osama man
We don't speak about Clint's ISIS years anymore.
Aww man -- that soundtrack -- those graphics -- I loved this game.
Thanks-a-million for reminding and showing us all our fav childhood games. Thanks for sharing.
My brother came home from college in 1998 or 1999 with Moto Racer 2 running on an AMD K6 300 MHz computer and it blew my mind.
Actions like yours are what got me to buy the game and 3DFX card back then, so thank you :D
Holy crap, you just made me blow up in a wave of nostalgia. I remember my parents buying me this game for my WIndows 95 Compaq Presario. This game used to blow my mind as a kid with its 3D graphics and textures.
I will quote, today in 2018: "Ohhh WHAT A ROCKET", good ol' memories
As soon as I heard that soundtrack the nostalgia hit me like a truck. All that time I spent as a kid playing this game on my dad's computer is slowly coming back to me. Speed Bay will always be my favorite map. I swear I played that map so much that I barely remember the others that well.

you're not alone
It's just having good taste
Dude I still listen to the second one's OST for biking.
don't forget midi slap bass
because they made good music in 90's and early 2000. :)
This game was awesome.
I'll never forget this game, it was the very very first video game I had ever played in my life and was pretty much my all time favorite bike racing game until I played Freekstyle.
Moto Racer was amazing back then and is still fun as hell today :)
I remember lending my copy to a "friend" of mine back when I was a kid and never seeing it again.
Never quite got over it, never quite spoke to him again! lol
Oh god the nostalgia.
POD's one of my favs too. I think it still holds up today. I actually bought it on GOG and I have such a nostalgia trip every time I boot it up.
Watching this in 2019. Man! You did change a lot in these last 6 years uh?
Good game, I played the hell out of it back in the day on PS1.
I don't have hardly any of the game boxes from my childhood either. Same thing: careless brother/self and parents who wanted the boxes gone to make space.

Billiamiscool I've never seen it before. It shocked the f$#& outa me.
It really wasnt magnificent tho
of course it was
MotoRacer and MotoRacer 2 are pleasant memories of late 90's PC gaming for me. Pentium II 233mhz, 96MB RAM, and a 16MB TNT video card - good times. Good Review!
I loved this too on my PC w 3DFx back in the day. I still have the original left, but it's the regular version in a smaller box.
3DFX was the shit back then. A BIG reason I am partial to PC's when it comes to gaming, they're always modular and therefore more capable of greater graphics than consoles, since consoles are locked to their components. I remember back in 1998, playing Tomb Raider II and MDK on PC and then seeing them on Playstation. I couldn't believe it was the same game, they looked so much muddier and pixelated on console.
I hate racing games but I played this one quite often.
Man, I remember having that game on my computer & playing it at like 6 & I am 16 now. I still have it. I am about to download that now just to play it again.
Getting very strong Sega AM2 vibes here. That's a wonderful thing.
We had this pre-installed on our Compaq Presario of the day. My brother and I looooved playing this for hours. Thanks for the nostalgia trip, Clint!
I had to persuade my father to buy this new game from the flea market. At first he didn't want to, but then he did it and we haven't regretted it. He even made a list of which motorcycle is suitable for which racetrack.

Great review! love this game and I still have it somewhere in the garage...like very much the Sega-ish arcade style
This came packed with my old 500mhz Pentium 3 PC. Think I still got the CD lying around somewhere. Great racer.
Used to have the PS1 version way back when it feels like now and played the hell out of it and damn, hearing that soundtrack was one huge punch of nostalgia. One of the first racing games I got into back in the day alongside the Gran Turismo franchise and Test Drive 5. Good times that literally feel like yesterday to me still.

Try the GOG version, it fixed the speed issues on newer PCs.
I had a Matrox card when I bought this game, a Matrox Mystique 2MB. It looked absolute no different to Software mode on the Mystique but it ran noticably faster. I mean, it was as smooth in 640x480 on the Mystique as it was in 320x240 in software mode.

I can't beleive that you review every single game that i played in the 90's and have forgotten of. I love you ^^
Bruh, I played the shit out of this game and everything that one guy said is forever ingrained in my mind. I prefer the sequel though, especially the PS1 version's soundtrack.
Seriously dude, thank you for reviewing this game.

I like when you make appearances in your videos! Thanks LGR.. for the video; so many memories!
I JUST NOTICED THE FREDDY GOT FINGERED REFERENCE. YESSSSSSSSS. Probably my favorite movie of all time.
I loved this game as a kid and finished it many times and love the pocket bikes
Gotcha. Yeah, it's too bad it didn't continue to this day like other racers have. I'd love a modern version of this, with updated graphics and very similar gameplay.
When we got our first computer as a family this game came with its purchase. I still remember my dad laughing his head off watching me try and master the keyboard controls. I played this game all the time. So awesome to see highlights of it.
XD SOOO nostalgic! This and Revolt were the first two games my brother and I had, so glad you covered both!
Not sure why but it's somehow so cool hearing one of my favorite youtubers talk about his experience in my town. Although Comp Usa is a relic these days haha
2:30 that main theme. Guitar with the organ chord and 808s and the sax. What a crazy blend that comes out good
My god, I had this game, and it's one of those that I haven't thought about at all since I played it as a kid. I'm having a nostalgia freakout watching this, why are your videos so good at that? ;)
With your reviews your'e making my gamer life brighter, thank you very much.
Man I loved this when i was a kid
I totally forgot about this until I saw the name and it brought all of the memories back
Moto Racer 2 had the track editor :)
Played the hell out of this on a P 166 overdrive and a 4 meg rendition card. Seemed like it looked better than whatever this is on. A fun romp to burn a half hour back then.
I think motoRacer stills the best moto racing game nowadays!
Forgot how much I loved this game, Im not into racing games but this one got me tied to my chair for many many hours. Thanks.
Nice job on the review.
I remember stocking this game when it came into our store. I loved it so much I brought in my PC (With 3DFX card) and put it on display with this game. I think I'm personally responsible for selling at least 4 copies of this game in '97. :P
This was one the first PC games I owned. It came bundled with my Compaq Presario back in 1998. So many memories.
Omg the SAAAMMME THING FOR ME CAME WIT MY COMPAQ PRESARIO😢😊 same year
When the games were made aiming the fun and not the simple realism.
Wow I was about to go to bed, then I noticed this video on your channel. I thought I was the only one who liked this game! I remember bringing it to school in 6th grade and playing it in the computer lab with my friend. The game is very light on the CPU so it was one of the few 3D games that worked really well with my Celeron 300 (no A) and ATI 3D Rage onboard graphics.

My first PC game. It came with an old Compaq PC from the 98 days. Still have the game and still love it.
This was the first 3D accelerated game I ever played, on my ATI Rage 128.
WOW! I never thought I would see this! I played this a lot when I was young! Remember playing this with my dad! Great times!
I love this game and was so good at it. The graphics were so damn good on NVidia Riva 128 and Voodoo 2
You just made me remember my childhood! The days of Voodoo 2 and my 300Mhz PC !
This is my all time favorite racing game My cousins and I used to spend hours battling each other in the 90s Still got the game disc for Playstation Mint Condition 😂😂🔥🔥 This should be remastered for the PS5
thank you!! i've been looking for this game for years!
One of my alltime favourite racers. Popped this in all the time as a kid.
I almost cry with that electric guitar sounds, so many memories playing this with my friend doing line one by one because just want of us could play at a time on my pc.
OMG how i loved this gamee... Bring back some memories. Thank you for showing
Grew up in Winston-Salem, though I no longer live there.
The gameplay was fantastic on this series! Fond memories of my younger years.
My brother and I used to love this game. When we got a new cpu we could no longer play it. But then, almost 12 years I remembered this game completely randomly and instantly got it on gog.com. It's just as good as I remember.
Road Rash is the perfect Road Rash, if you ask me :)
So much of my childhood on greatwall. Thanks for the nostalgia hit
This game is from my childhood! thank you, LGR!
Pure nostalgia for me😊 I loved this racing game so much growing up.💕
Thank you! Finally found the title game that i played in my childhood ❤
Holy crap this video shows up in my reccomended feed and not only is this a game I played as a kid but I also had no idea you had a massive beard...
The more I watch these, the more I think about the fantasy of being blasted back into the 80's with my Dell PC and make people's jaws drop with the awesomeness of my somewhat powerful PC.
OH MY GOD. i spent my whole childhood playing this game.
The graphics look very good for being 14 years old, and not just the look, but the fluid of motion and framerate look lovely as well.
Fun fact: the announcer dude on this (as well as 2 and Advance) was voiced by Christian Erickson, aka Lance Boyle from the MegaRace games, and more recently Heavy Rain's "The Doctor". I seem to recall there were one or two lines where you could clearly tell it was him.
Damn... I've been looking for this game for 20 years!
That's a game right from my childhood ! In France it was quite popular at the time. It looked awesome and was blazing fast ! :)
I've messed my pants, thanks for the nostalgia Clint. I played the crap out of this on a 166 MHz Pentium system with a Microsoft joystick a long time ago.
Time to try and get it working on my modern machine.
This, Grand Prix Legends with a Thrustmaster T1, and Lego Creator made my late 90s 5 year old brain go wild.
This was the first game I ever played on PC, and I still love it now
Looks pretty sweet! I remember seeing this one at just about every computer shop back in the day, but I never got around to trying it myself. Seems like I missed out!
