This game is incredibly though. Good fun though and I'm a sucker for that early 90's sprite scaler board. Sega has such wonderful artists around that time.
Wow! I thought the graphics were great back then. I specifically remember being wowed by the windshield wipers. Also I recognized Sonic when I played this in the arcade so apparently I played this after it launched on the Genesis. Now if I can just find that arcade super bike game that I only ever played once. The music at least at the start of the race was awesome.
I checked this out because I heard this was the first appearance of Sonic the Hedgehog in any game EVER. This was released before Sonic 1 on the Genesis. Hard to believe.
I remember back in the day... reading about the mythical 32 bit racing game in a magazine, then making a journey to SF where I heard they had a cabinet, where it cost like 2 or 3 $ a play, to play one of the most advanced racing games.
this game looked a lot better in 1993! seriously though i think aracde games always look worse on the computer screen - needs an arcade monitor effect. good memories :)
not to mention that at the same time in 1990, Sega teamed up with the J-pop group Dreams Come True to have Sonic publicized during one of DCT's tours (due to the bassist, Masato Nakamura, composed the music for Sonic 1)

This game was actually Sonic's first appearance.
This needs a remaster...
Sonic's debut!!!

Damn, considering when this was made it looks damn good. Segas Super Scaler tech at it's finest.

Linkavitch Chomofsky's all time favorite game!
Very cool vid! I think I was the only one with a SegaCD back in the day (saw it in your intro). Sewer Shark, night trap... love them all. Thumbs up!

I want this game on one of the new Yakuza games.
Interesting racer.
I like the Sonic figure hanging from the windshield.
It totally defies gravity! :-)
I remember this game from Encino Man.
