I worked on the Speed Racer port back in 1994/1995. The reason why Speed Racer was chosen was because Radical Entertainment (the developer) had just finished up the SNES version of the game. Life Fitness was paying for developing the technology, and it seemed like an easy way to get more titles to work with the bike. There were also some other games planned, like a Pacman by a different developer, but I don't believe that ended up being released.

@magicbadjames2810 Год назад

Wow, I didn't expect that

@BRUTUSPLAC Год назад

I bought the HOME SYSTEM before any other game other than MOUNTAIN BIKE RALLEY was Available. I was given a FREE " coupon " to get speed racer or any other game BUT i Never got it. I called many a times. And all i ever got over the phone was SOON.........( i finished the game MANY Times over the first 5 years i had it, ) .. I just rebuilt the bike nov 2022 ( free ) with a bike i found in bulk pickup like 15 years ago , NOw The controllers died Monday ( 1-19-23) and I think i should but the replacement controllers mentioned above.

@agntdrake Год назад

@@BRUTUSPLAC OMG, that's awesome that you have one of the Exertainment bikes. That sucks that Life Fitness never sent you the cartridge (I don't even have one!). The ROM is floating around out there on the internet though, so you should be able to play it w/ something like fx pro/sd2snes.

@kylecyr862 3 года назад

In the late 2000's i went to my mom's Gym and they had a kids section with a PS2 playing Burnout Revenge attached to a workout bike and to make the car go you had to use the peddles. It was pretty fun and would love to try to set that up again.

@KetwunsGamingPad 3 года назад

@@yoanfernanda Oh I know that's a great thing to have an I certainly have that at home and enjoy using it. It's just a shame that gyms don't embrace it all that much and are still living as if it were 30-40 years ago. You can buy new machines all you like, but if they look exactly the same with a new code of paint and a prettier UI, but not actually changing much in function, then it's not that impressive anymore...AR can do so much to innovate exercise again now!

Yes since it is part of the licensed set. Having the peripheral bike may not be required by some, but definitely the game. MBR/SR is also required since it was also a licensed retail release.

@johnnyalias9596 8 лет назад

The change in resistance is cool. Cool collectible/conversation piece. If anybody is curious, you could make one of these or an analog of it to get into shape. Realistically speaking you could simply program a modern exercise bike to a program that ramps up with time or has hill profiles. Wire the bike through a switch that kills the game console entirely if the exercise bike screen stops displaying. (They stop displaying after 2ish minutes of inactivity.) Strap on a SNES controller and you're golden. Alternatively just play SNES while riding an exercise bike. If you use a recumbent bike (which I recommend) the need to strap it to the handles goes away.

@junelawson5719 6 лет назад

@KuraIthys 7 лет назад

mmh. Those bike games interest me on a purely technical level honestly. They're not proper 3d games such as Stunt Race FX... They're also not your typical mode 7 racer on a flat surface... They represent some kind of more complex adaptation of mode 7 logic. Which makes some kind of sense, since to even get a perspective effect in mode 7 requires modifying the transformation matrix per scanline... So you could obviously do something more complex per scanline too. I'm just not entirely sure what that would be to result in terrain like that...

Oh I remember in my boondocks school they somehow managed to get their hands on one of these and one of the exercise pad things (in order to "make the school more high tech", mind you the xbox 360 was out for at least a few years at this point) and then they put it in the storage and wont let anyone touch it. Literally no one has gotten to use them as far as I know because "it's too much of a distraction and liability to let anyone use it"

Life Fitness, I've actually used Exercise bikes by them before. Believe it or not, I found those really fun to use (and the least frustrating things at my local gym), especially when the cardio sensors worked correctly. I'd love to use one (as an optional controller) for compatible (but definitely NOT exclusive) racing games; the speed at which you pedal could be interpreted as analogue thrust, and the degree at which you tilt for analogue steering. Two people could get into a contest to out-pedal the other in racing games!

@Cyber_Akuma 7 лет назад

I remember seeing an informercial for this ages ago.... and I recall the thing that stood out for me the most was that it actually used the expansion port of the SNES. (I remember both on my NES and SNES wondering if anything would EVER use that port...). Recently I have been collecting old Genesis/SNES games and that old infomercial suddenly came to mind... so I Googled to see if anyone had ever talked about it.... and came to this video. :) Also, I have a theory about why Speed Racer. Both the games were made by the same developer, and released at the same time. Furthermore, they also both look similar, with that same psudo-3D track design. My guess is that they developed the game engine for Speed Racer/Cannondale (they likely developed it with the intention of licensed games in mind considering that's all they used it for...) and essentially just re-skinned trhe Cannondale game to use in their excersise bike instead of make a whole new game for it.
