NASCAR Thunder 2004 On The PS1 Is AWESOME! 

Find yourself someone as excited about you as Radman is about the fuel feature.

Crazy how different the Ps1 gameplay is compared to PS2. Thats what made the PS2 & Ps3 so special because back then you could actually see the improvements in new consoles from their predecessor

Mirrors exists in racing games pretty much since the early 90's. Dos-based Papyrus' games, even if in a basic form, had it. Some SNES/MD games had it. Trashnigtion 21 is the only racing game in the world since then where this is a problem.

My dad had nascar Thunder 2003 on the ps1 slim and introduced me to it when I was like 5. Was my first video game I ever played, so it got me into video games, and got me REALLY into NASCAR. Ps1 NASCAR Thunder was some good times 👌🏼 Edit: also I love his freak out about the adding fuel feature lol. Another thing I thought was cool was whenever you had a yellow, you would ride out the entirety of the yellow since the ps1 can’t like…transition to a different spot of the race or skip to a cutscene or anything like the current Heat games. So you’d get to ride around until your crew chief would tell you you’re going back green and you’d get locked back in. Really cool stuff!

The spotter when he's angry is hilarious.

Awesome gameplay, and here's a tip for you during potential future gameplays, in the challenge mode, when you select the challenge, press the X button and it will give you the description of the challenge. This also applies to the driver select and the track select as well.

Bro played a copy paste of NASCAR 2001 for PSX.

My first ever nascar game, so much nostalgia ❤

i think u unlock Boca Chica by completing the Fantasy tracks in Season mode. At least thats how it was in NT2003 on ps1

To unlock Boca Chica: Finish first in the points in the Road Course Challenge To unlock Albuquerque: Finish first in the points in a Full Season (Without Fantasy) To unlock Cocoa Beach: Finish first in the Speedway Shootout To unlock Devil’s Canyon: Finish first in the Short Track Challenge This also works for Thunder 2002 and Thunder 2003 for the PlayStation

Nascar 98 with paintballs is still the most fun I've had on a Nascar game when I'm not trying to actually race

You loved it when you were a child you say, your gameplay commentary tells me you still are a child.

I still have a copy for the PS1 version of NASCAR THUNDER 2004! Man both PS1 & 2 versions of NT2004 are GOATED!

In addition to this game, EA Sports also made Madden, NBA Live & FIFA (now EA Sports FC) for the PS1 that year. That year's FIFA game on the PS1 was actually good like this though there were only 8 leagues & 16 national teams & there's a glitch where you score an own goal if you try to pass the ball back to the keeper.

Nascar 2000 PC version had 6 fantasy tracks one of them like this NY style track without the buildings, North Dakota was the best with crazy elevations.

Honestly, being able to control how much fuel you put in the car should come back, that way if you need a specific amount of fuel you can put it in to the exact amount, and not waste a second more time if you just need like 1 or 2 more laps worth off of a splash.

This was my first nascar game! Feels like a fever dream

those graphics are F'ing amazing for ps1, the sky, the clouds that sun flare.. cockpit views?

The models on the cars are outdated the chevy and dodge have the 2002 models instead of the 2003 ones

I still have this! Great one.

So many childhood memories ❤

It’s about ram and gpu. Which I found strange about NASCAR 2001, where you can only like 20 drivers max per race but the game runs so smoothly

One of the greatest games I ever played. Very very nice.

One of my all time favorite games back in the day

You turned the downforce all the way down, then wondered why you couldn't hold the throttle through the turn lol

14:50 Kenseth got his revenge 😂

Awesome game Awesome videos

Wow these graphics are amazing. Compare it to NASCAR 98.

Yeah the fuel ⛽ Animation was the coolest thing back then !!! Lol

Absolutely SAD that this game, on a console from 1995, nearly 30 years ago, has so many more features than modern NASCAR games. Good on EA team for this final send off on the PS1.

The menus look just like NASCAR 2001... Like it almost looks like a 2001 copy and paste, even though 2001 was way better looking.

PS1 bizarre graphics wobble aside this game has surprisingly good graphics. I assume this is emulated though so I don't know how it actually would look on a PS1.

Googling this game, ordering this game!

This game was basically my life at the end of the PS1 lifecycle especially as my deadbeat mom refused to get a memory card growing up and that slag inevitably pawned off the PS1 I grew up with. Thank god for emulation.

14:50 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Might as well do Thunder 2003 as well

i had NT2003 on the playstation. they are the exact same game

i play this game as Micheal Waltrip

I remember they had a Hawaii track when I was a kid on the PS1 game as a kid lol I want them to bring it back lol @RealRadman hope you thought of me haha 😅

I feel like when it comes to 04 the ps1 version is better since its just 03 with new paint and some improvements while the PS2 version was more graphically improved, i feel like 04 on the PS1 was one of the best Nascar games ever made

NASCAR heat 4 and 5 do have rear view

@KamikazeGames did the career mode of this game

yes, streaming every night lol

This game started my love for avenged sevenfold

I had this game before i got a ps2

Season mode ?

You should play the PC version. A totally different game from anything you've played in the past.

Man is crying about how a 20 year old game looks on a 30 year old console

What is the cheat code for the Larson paint scheme (im obviusly joking lmao)

bro play more. i know you can get the settings to make this looks even better.

It's just bloody embarrassing that this game has more features and has a better physics model than the new generation of Nascar games. I just don't understand why it is so neglected. It's one of the biggest motorsport in the US. Being British, Nascar, and Indy car are the main motorsports we hear about from the US, so it is mind-boggling at just how neglected they are. It isn't right that we have to rely on Forza for Nascar and Indy cars that aren't terrible and ridiculously acrade boxy feeling for consoles. I hope the new FM adds a tonne more to these motorsport as they are seriously neglected on consoles. I don't even know if there is an Indy car game for consoles. I've never seen one, I assume it is just as dead as Nascar games. It's a damn shame, IRacing is the only place taking it seriously, but it passes by console players.

A NASCAR street race in New York City would be awesome

Play more

EA Sports needs to do a NASCAR game ASAP

Xbox>PlayStation

Dear God can this man stop calling every crappy old NASCAR game amazing and awesome. None of this was even impressive when it came out. We're talking five years after Gran Turismo 1 & 2, three years since the PS2.

Radman is just clickbait now

Don't fuckin' talk so much
