An Attempt at Sonic R (Windows) 2-Player Gameplay

- Key word "attempt."
So my best friend was visiting me over this past week and we played a lot of games together during our down time. We both love all sorts of games, good and bad, and for the fun of it one of the bad games we decided to try together was Sonic R. I have never shown any multiplayer on this channel (aside from Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders which I don't really think count), so I also took the opportunity to record some footage of this! This is of us going through all five tracks once over, and doing one game of hunt-the-balloons (which, after watching this, I think you'll quickly find out why we only did it once).
So the reason I worded that title that way was to prevent anyone from expecting expert-level gameplay. My buddy had never played this before, and it's the understatement of the century to say this is not a beginner friendly game (in fact, one experiment I want to try one day is getting four people who have never played this together and making them try it out to see what happens, because I think that'd be hilarious). The track layouts are extremely confusing to someone who has never seen them before, and because so many of the tracks are built more around the fact that they have hidden items to hunt down rather than to be coherent courses, there are tons of pathways that take you way out of the way of the action, and certain ring doors are deceptive because their only purpose is to conceal items rather than open shortcuts.
I don't have too much to say about the tracks themselves. We had a few attempts that went so badly that we agreed to redo them and try again, so there is some editing going on here. The balloon race was utterly ridiculous as we spent almost five straight minutes looking for those last two measly balloons that were hidden in extremely obscure places (naturally, I sped up most of the searching because I know nobody wants to just watch five straight minutes of nothing happening). Otherwise I think all went fairly well.
There are plenty of videos that cover the single-player content of this game, but naturally much fewer that cover multiplayer, and despite how often we flubbed our gameplay on both accounts, we had a ball playing this together. It was cooler to let him do it on one of my old computers (a Pentium 3), as he had never really used one before. Both of us used Microsoft Sidewinder pads for this video. Maybe I'll be able to recruit more people for multiplayer in the future, who knows. For now, I hope you enjoy this video! - Hry
I can only imagine how fun it must have been to play this on an old machine with those sidewinder pads. Never saw the PC version, so thanks for the complete upload here with all the levels. Looks better than what I have seen of the Saturn version (which I also never played) in terms of graphics.
I found ya, i was looking for you for years, and i just wanted to say, thanks you so much for the other videos in your other channel, that just make My childhood and i was looking that specific vídeo for so loong and i finally found you, thanks you man, idk how many years old you got in real life but i love you for uploading content that Made My childhood ;)
Great to see you back, Mr. Eight-Three-One! How are you and your family doing lately? I am doing very well.
To me, the racing action looks like fun most of the time (considering the hedgehog characters' abilities of running super-duper fast). I hope to see more multiplayer videos soon!
I can't get enough of that low poly Sonic
I had some wierd half stripped down version of this game from some Sega bundle pack with Sonic CD. Still made my own fun with it as a kid though.
The Legend îs back!
Are you gonna do OLD SCHOOL GTA Gameplay soon?
Still better than Race With Ryan.
Wow! I almost forgot this one
In your opinion, what are the best gaming settings for PCem?
no matter how hard he wants to play newer games, he playes rlly old games
Yeah I am definitely not playing a game that's only a week old as we speak. There's just no way I play anything outside of my CZcams channel ever. What would ever give you that idea?
@@MrEightThreeOne the game kind of looks old to me
@@MrEightThreeOne True.... You shall never play anything remotely new ever again
You should upload walkthroughs again, ya mook😒
