LGR - Moto Racer - PC Game Review 

God I remember finally being able to wheelie pretty much the entire speed bay track. Lapping opponents in your 3rd lap ftw

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

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.

I used to play the shit out of this game

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.

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?

This is a huge nostalgia trip...

Whoa! somehow I never saw a video with that magnificent beard!

I loved this game when it first came out! A classic

Thanks-a-million for reminding and showing us all our fav childhood games. Thanks for sharing.

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

Just bought this plus Moto Racer 2 during the GOG sale and I'm glad I did, thanks for the great review Clint

I will quote, today in 2018: "Ohhh WHAT A ROCKET", good ol' memories

Aww man -- that soundtrack -- those graphics -- I loved this game.

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.

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 JUST NOTICED THE FREDDY GOT FINGERED REFERENCE. YESSSSSSSSS. Probably my favorite movie of all time.

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.

This game was awesome.

Oh god the nostalgia.

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.

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.

I hate racing games but I played this one quite often.

Oh shit I'd forgotten about LGR's magnificent beard!

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.

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

My first PC game. It came with an old Compaq PC from the 98 days. Still have the game and still love it.

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.

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.

Getting very strong Sega AM2 vibes here. That's a wonderful thing.

You just made me remember my childhood! The days of Voodoo 2 and my 300Mhz PC !

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.

So much of my childhood on greatwall. Thanks for the nostalgia hit

This game was the ultimate racing game when i was a kid. It might have been my first ever game!

One of my alltime favourite racers. Popped this in all the time as a kid.

OH MY GOD. i spent my whole childhood playing this game.

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 :)

That was the one :D Loved that store.

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

Try the GOG version, it fixed the speed issues on newer PCs.

I had four games for my first computer: Moto Racer, Outlaws, Backyard Baseball and Nightmare Ned and I loved em all.

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...

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.

Dude I'm so jealous of your big box collection. I used to play a more ghetto version of this called Cyclemania. Was awesome used live action video for the tracks and sprites for the bikes, cars, cows etc. lol

grew up with this game, its basically half my childhood

Still playing in 2017, actualy never stopped to play since 2000, very fun game when you have couple free minutes :)

To this day, Moto Racer 1 is still the best arcade motorcycle racing game.

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.

Ahhh yes, I remember now. I spent more time on the track editor than the game itself, I wish there was a more robust form of editor for racers today or at least any form of editor for most.

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.

This reminded me to my other favorite racing game back in the time Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit. Do you have any plans about reviewing it?

what a sweet game. I remember playing this as a child and the first time when I saw the UFO in the desert track I got scared the crap out me because I was totally not expecting that lol

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.

Very impressed by the demo of this one back in the day but I never bought games back then so haven't got around to playing it in full yet.

Moto Racer 2 had the track editor :)

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!

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.

Actions like yours are what got me to buy the game and 3DFX card back then, so thank you :D

Man, I loved this game.

LOL That beard..... I had completely forgotten about that.

Ahh another great video that brings me back to the time of my p3 450 running at 750 and my tnt 2 ultra with two voodoo 2s in sli for certain glide games.

This game!!! THIS FUCKING GAME!!!!

This game aged extremely well compared to other racers of its time.

"Backwards man. You go backwards as fast as you can" - Freddy Got Fingered awesomeness :D

Ohhh, I used to play this as a kid. Great memories (:

If I remember correctly, I rented Moto Racer World Tour on the PS1. It was pretty fun messing around the off road stadium track and it had drag bikes. At least that's how I remember, I was about 8 at the time lok

I had Moto Racer 2, which i absolutely loved because you could create your own custom tracks! if I remember right the system was easy to use and of course I focused on making the ones with the biggest jumps possible. I wasn't really interested in the tarmac/superbike side of the game

Ha. I guess that's what happens when "beard" becomes a keyword used in the comments on my videos...

had soo much fun w this game as a little kid

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

loved this game and played it a lot. I think it came with the 3DFx graphics card I bought, didn't expect it to be a good game though first, as it came with the card, but I was well surprised :) As you mention in the video, trying to extend the wheelie manoeuver to a maximum in the street races was a fun part of the game, either getting better lap times or crashing and ruining your current lap time.

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!).

Sorry just found this video here in 2017. Thought you were going to say "I've done it. I've grown a Daniel Bryan beard!"

this game was my life it was everything I would've been 5 and a half when it came out and I had a joystick and I would play this game all day

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.

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.

Loved the dirt track, best track ever! Reminded me a little bit of Excitebike on NES.

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.

I remember triggering a bug during either the menu eyecatch or maybe a saved replay where it stopped playing back automatically and transferred control to me, the player. That absolutely blew my mind when I was little. I don't remember what buttons I pressed to cause it, but the rider focused on by the camera crashed into something. When he got back onto his bike, he was back in player-control mode.

Will you make an 80's style IBM 5150 commercial with explosions, a robot, a little red corvette, and the IBM 5150 sitting in the passenger seat? That'll be awesome with your beard!!!

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.

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.

When the games were made aiming the fun and not the simple realism.

You should really review the Redline Racer and compare it to this one, it's similar but has fun cheats and maybe a better soundtrack

Holy shit I completely forgot I played this as a kid until I watched this video...

omg you are from greenboro nc!? My gf studied there... Which is the only reason why I know it is a thing.

I misread it as Moo Racer... and I'm mad that we didn't get a video game adaptation of one of my favorite stories from the comic book Bone.

This was the first 3D accelerated game I ever played, on my ATI Rage 128.

Memories. A lot of memories.

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!

Who remembers typing in the cheat codes to unlock additional content?

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.

Wow you're rocket! *checkpoint* Good memories - still playing it!

Never Stop Your Reviews And Don't Make Them Shorter Keep Going With These! Unlike Most RU-vid 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

I think motoRacer stills the best moto racing game nowadays!

I love this game and was so good at it. The graphics were so damn good on NVidia Riva 128 and Voodoo 2

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.

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

0:22 I didn't know Cr1tikal was doing game reviews in the 90's

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!
