Ah ExciteBike.... those were the days

I still think that Road Rash 2 was the best of the bunch. EA got it right on that one, as fun as 1 with some good graphical improvements. Then they went and made 3 I think, or the one for SegaCD?Saturn?Genesis?(can't remember) and it tried to use photo-bitmaps for the characters and bikes and it looked ASStastic.

Also this is a good move for Sproing(ehh, terrible name), because that movie is total and utter trash. It's been on HBO or Skinmax lately on repeat and it is God awful. The acting, if thats what you want to call it, is terrible. And the rediculous amount of product placements for Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Bud are rediculous. Fast and the Furious on bikes? No, this is much worse, it's in another level of out right badness. If you happen to catch it on TV, try to stomach 5-10 minutes of it, it is halirious for all the wrong reasons. Hopefully Sproing will continue to distance itself from that terible license and come closer to RR2.

They should have called it "The fast and the furious : motorcycle edition".

its not that noone has ever heard of it, it's just that the movie was so horrible, people have tried to erase it from their memories.



swg free and loving it

what was even the point of having a movie tie-in with a movie no one has ever heard of?

Yeah really! But speaking of 8bit, that side scrolling motorcycle game for the NES was fun. You could build your own tracks!

Excitebike, you fool! (Hey, everyone else is saying it.)

You talkin' ExciteBike?

If so, it can still be found for the GBA (I've got it on one of those wacky 121-in-1 carts). Still holds its own in the really-annoyingly-hard-at-times category, that's for sure


edit: You fool! (sponge made me do it)

Change it to "Straight to the Bargain Bin".

Ah i meant Road Rash. I guess i got Streets of Rage mixed...how i dont know.

I think the best RR was for Amiga (i think it was for Amiga anyway). Great fun. Took me ages to understand P.E No.1

You are smoking crack dude... Road Rash for 3DO was fucking beautiful..

But yes... Roadrash for Genesis was fucking great... But If I had to choose between 3DO or Genesis, I would pickup and play the 3DO version before the Genesis.. Those 8 bit graphics make my eye hurt.. At least with 3DO you get 3D environments that show off some serious speed..

Funny. This isn't a new name for the game. It is a return to the original name. This is an old 3DO game that was in development when they closed up shop. Jowood bought the partially completed title. That game started development over 3 and a half years ago...

Road Rash 2 on the Genesis was one of the greatest games ever conceved. I loved the code to get the stealth black bike, and beating people down was never more satisfying than when you had the cattle prod.

now if this is like road rash Im a happy camper.. cause I still play it on the PC .... yes its old but its just plain fun.

The only really good RR was the original Genesis.

Future ones, be it still on the Genesis, on the PC, or on the 3DO couldn't quite compare to how much fun the original was.

Hell, I bought a Genesis solely for that game. In the end I had 3 games total, but Road Rash was really the only one I played often.

Inept.
