It was programmed by Nasir Gebelli, designed and supervised by Hironobu Sakaguchi. Rad Racer is Nobuo Uematsu's 15th work of video game music composition. This is basicly Nes answer to outrun. -

one of the best racing games ever produced for the Nes.
Ever produced
@@phaymphantom256 right, the sense of speed in this game is incredible, just as good as modern racing games like forza imo
R.c pro am
play corvette zr 1 challenge 🙂
That feeling when you ran out of time and then barelly crossed the checkpoint
Shouts out to the player, they make it look easy. This game was very hard.
Bill Sharp yes it was I'll never forget how hard this game was
I kept crashing whenever I played this game
I never made it past Course 5.
Yes, it was tough. I couldn't get past level 4.
Absolutely agree. They just don’t make games this simply challenging any more. But the music... driving your car while listening to this soundtrack is just so damn exciting!
Summer of 91. Going Into 10th.
I'm back in high school. Thanks for the memories
anyone else remember playing this with the 3D glasses?
Yeah, tried it sometimes but rated it "awful and not at all 3D" because the flickering did not go away completely, if I remember correctly (after 26 years ^^)
I never did.
Is this the one where you pushed Select to go into “3D mode”?
It was terrible, but pretty interesting for the time.
@@JFJD Yes.
Just bought this game at my local retro video game store. I was so happy that they had it, and it's in great condition. Also, bought Contra as well.
Is your playing the music my copy plays fine and sounds good just no music
@@bloodeagle6458 I just got mine and sometimes it plays music

I drove many of a thumb blistering pixelated miles on that game over a 3rd of a century ago. The music still causes my adrenaline to pump up.
This was a cool racing game for the NES back in the day. And to think it was created by the same guys who created Final Fantasy. I think Square need to branch beyond RPGs more often.
Rad Racer is referred to in Japan as Highway Star. The game was published by Square in Japan, Nintendo in North America, and Mattel in Europe.
That's a way better name!
i like how you finished it with a crash
I love the power glove. It's so bad.
TX RNG And I mean baaaaaad.
The music from this game is so great IMO. So many memories
This game brings back memories. If I remember, this probably was the first ever game I played, as a 2 year old, in a real NES, or Excitebike. I never beat it even today at 26. Quite interesting that the same company who made Final Fantasy among others made this racing game. I think the KM/H speedometer really meant MPH, as the cartridge artwork says "mph", plus 255 km/h = 158.45 mph. The F1 racer makes it feel like Pole Position.
Everytime I hear the 1st BGM of this song, I end up thinking of "Stinkoman 20X6"
"Challenges and fighting and fighting and challenges....."
The biggest bs thing in this game is instantly crashing if you run into a car directly from behind going too fast. It should just slow you down, what with the sheer amount of cars every freaking where all the time. Sometimes it's near impossible to avoid them.
The first NES game I've ever finished :) I was 10.
That last track is giving me fits right now. You really can't crash a single time & have any hope of winning, & the other cars are just a freaking nightmare! I always end up crashing at least once due to the other cars ramming into me or being in the way. This is not easy...
If you haven’t beaten it, keep your speed up until you find a car going 172-180kph and tailgate him. This shields you from the game spawning super slow cars in front of you. After the 3rd checkpoint you’ll need to pass him and go full speed the remainder of the race.
@@jsthlrd This was quite a while ago but yeah I did eventually beat it. I'll keep this in mind for next time tho
Dammit, drive the Ferrari. XD
But why?
I never understood why not many people use the F1 machine.
I agree. The F1 makes it look like Pole Position. The car feels cooler.
Oh yes this game gave me blisters.
I remember this game from back in the day...
I will love this game for ever
i've only just discovered it and feel the same way!
Thank you for making up for all the times i couldnt stay over my friends house to watch him finish this.
This game was not easy at all..... lol
Iceberg Slim you can say that again I was lucky I got past the first level and after that well I did not beat the second level and then I gave up and never played the game again basically this game made me rage until I couldn't take it no more
The other damn cars are what make it difficult. They are super hard to avoid with the ones that continually try to wreck you lol.
@@skins4thewin I’m getting flashbacks just thinking about that lmaoo
An exciting game! I love the crash at the end of the game!
I think this game came with 3d glasses
It did.
all these years that I have known this game, I had no idea that you could play as the race car.
I was just watching one played with the Ferrari and noticed that they both have the same top speed haha. Oh gosh I love 80s games :)))
Running the tracks is no problem in this game. It's the damn other cars that's the problem. They seem to be impossible to avoid at times & it's incredibly frustrating!
I used to have this game lol
I could only ever get to the 3rd stage of the game after that I would either lose or juse get board of the game and played something else like 1943 or Bionic Commando XD
I remember beating this game with my sister besides me but i dont remember having an f1 racer option 😂
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Nobody ever chose the F1, everyone always drove the Ferrari.
Wow I got this at Xmas with my nes , what a day that was . Totes rad game !!
That game is looks similar to Pole Position.
Fun game but a hard son of a gun
Issue 1 the timer, it gives you just the right amount of time especially when you get in later stages (stage 5)
Issue 2, the biggest obstacle here is the cars you bump into, why this is an issue is because in later stages there's no room for errors because when you crash your vehicle cant move till it centers itself eating up your time
You deserve a medal if you beat all 8 courses
one of my favorite games
we've all heard of Punch-Out's infamous "N!&&@ stole my bike!!!", right? well, I got a new one for ya kids= at 26:40..."Bitch stole my ride!!!"
The father of top gear XD
Damn, that game was hard!! I never got too far playing it!
Sara Lili Course 3 (Grand Canyon) is where the difficulty really ramps up with all the stalled/slow cars and the last-second lane switching. The last 2 courses if you even crash once you're just about screwed unless you gun it everywhere.
The Best Rad Racer
It's Rad Racer! Raaaaaaad Racerrrrr! Remember that one?
When I was a kid, one day I booted up the game, and instead of the title screen, it started with the ending sequence. Some kind of glitch happened. That was the only time seeing it, the gane was otherwise too hard for me, lol
Using the power glove & playing the game with 3D Glasses
My childhood! ^^
Rad Racer, Narc, spy hunter, and WWII, we're my top players
wow memories
By the great Nasir Gebelli
Is this the game when you press the select button everything turns reddish supposedly 3D lol
The gen 1 glasses worked(cardboard frames) the plastic framed glasses did not.
Challenge and fighting and fighting and challenge tonight ...
needed to use the car to see the variety of cars in the game
Best control mechanics ever
A genre that Squaresoft would not visit again until Driving Emotion Type-S, many years later. And then would not visit ever again after that.
Must be one of Square's originals, besides Final Fantasy.
What a horrible ending! After he works so hard to win, she divorces him to take his car and prize money. :(
And not even the car he drove through the whole game...
Oh yeah yeah i used toplay and beat this game. And that's what I call music, and I always had the illusion to get in to the city.
The music for the desert canyon level @ around 7:00 reminds me of Kirby's dreamland, loving it.
i think he's playing with the Power Glove, because it's so bad
Really?
Nah, the game was really hard.
I'm in love with rad racer but I couldn't get a handle of this game I've missed it so much my dad used to have that game and Richmond Avenue school that was another one of those games that I want
So the F1 car has the same top end speed and cornering capability as the Ferrari? 😂
Dang it, you beat it to it. Oh well, at least now I know where the Brothers Chaps got that music
Did you know at Nobou Uematsu composed this game?
before Final Fantasy, Squaresoft created Rad Racer
Rad Racer was developed by the exact same team that would later develop Final Fantasy.
Yeah. Shocking to see a company known for lengthy RPGs made a RACING game...
This was actually Square's best selling NES game, it outsold Final Fantasy
Cool man.
This game was so hard!
Ferric 24 It is, but the real beasts are 7 and 8.
I miss those days
Great memories, though I would have preferred that he played using the Ferrari.
desde los 6 años en el nintendo nes no lo.ehh acabado asta la fecha 01/08/2016 alas 1:32 y no lo ehh pasado aun :( lo volvere a jugar
ARE YOU ASKING FOR A CHALLENGE?!
@DrewDracoSune Interesting tidbit: The music the Chaps Bros used in that cartoon is not the original you hear here, but was actually a cover done by Tony Thai, using a separate NES soundfont he ripped from Street Fighter 2010. Even Tony himself isn't sure why this is.
How come there were no Rad Racer segments in Kingdom Hearts?
fun fact: this game was created by the same guy who made kingdom hearts
This could of been a great game. The car you control looks awesome, but unfortunately the other cars are missing some animation quite frequently.
This game have blast processing.
I love the power glove. Its so bad
Thats my music at 6:35!!
I remember my cousin trying to beat this game...
Why they didnt add F1 at end titles
Ruins of Athens thats all I'm going to say. My sister child hood friend ended up beating this game for me she mastered it
Ya ever played Rad Racer close to your eye!?! Give it a try!
original trackmania
"Yeah, bro, 'course I'll have the music for levels four and seven done by the time the game comes out! It's gonna be the best music in the game, trust me."
+Civanfan As far as I remember, you could choose between two songs or no music as it happens at 22:59
+solojinglesradio Crap. Well, that's what I get for not playing a game in 20-odd years. Thanks for the info.
solojinglesradio You got a choice between three songs or no music. In Rad Racer 2 you get two songs or no music.
talk about a game that would make you rage quit harder than anything ever lol this was it
What about trying to land your F-14 on the deck of the aircraft carrier in "Top Gun"?
Should have played with the 3D glasses.
Anyone else remember this as the Stinkoman theme?
Yeah will uh.......just keep your power gloves off her pal. huh!
Level 4 is kinda hard..
I love the power glove, it’s so bad.
I know a guy named Lucas, and he's very good at this game.
It’s a shame that the F-1 vehicle doesn’t have its own ending like the sports-car does.
20X6!!!
@jet4212006 "And I mean BAAAAAAAAAAAD."
Is there any difference in the game depending on the car you choose to drive?
I think the f1 is a little faster if i remember
No. Just different vehicles. The F1 makes the game feel like Pole Position.
Michael Schumacher ?
Doesn't the box list "weather effects"? I didn't see any.
PoseMotion Only time you get close to that is stage 7 (Seaway in Typhoon). But even that is similar to stage 1 (Sunset Coastline) in that it's just day turning night turning day for the most part.
Same sound effects as Al Unser Jr. Turbo Racing
What's the game where you drive over red dots??
Tiene un parecido al Road Racer de Atari, por su modo de juego. No esta mal.
the game looks alot like Lotus Turbo Challenge 2
Final Fantasy XV could’ve had Rad Racer elements.
lol crash at the end of course 8
Bro pls someone show me play on sup game box
" ?" ?
