RFI: old arcade game

gotta be lucky & wild.

Nope - the guns were built into the car and the triggers and buttons were on the steering wheel.

chase HQ sequel, SCI? don't remember triggers but there were definitely buttons to shoot the baddies. (there's a third in that series too, but i've never seen it.)

Nope, not it. I think it didn't have a regular-shaped steering wheel either.

I'm not sure what this dude's point was in making the video, but if you want to remember what the gameplay was like, here it is.

My earliest memory of this game was some holiday park in Wales, i was about 10 or 11.

I could never ever EVER manage to pick up the power up gun that dropped from the choppers.

I particularly liked it because I'm generally bad at driving games and it wasn't that hard to stay on the road in this one.

Cheers Ste! Hey how about this version:

ah the old tilt 'n' shift chestnut.

weird, that looks like a toy van now.

Aye, that's the idea. Works better with longer shots though. There was a thread on it...
It looks like a miniature trainset but really, oh that one really is: Olivo Barbieri and fake tilt-shifting photos

I loved SCI. Roadblasters was fun, too.

those pics are so cool, so gonna try this when i get home.

i remembe the speccy version of this game being not so bad, as was the Chase HQ conversion. The Amiga one was dog poo tho.

So I messed about with that photo trick, and got this:

But yeah, it got boring after only a few pictures. That masking and blurring technique has other potential though.

hurting, if you want to play it again, there's a computer repair store in BK that has one:

but maybe call ahead to see if it's still there

Roadblasters and Spy Hunter both ruled. But what about DEATH TRACK?

you guys need to know about this

I played a lot of Road Blasters in my day... last Sunday was spent trying to recapture my old triumphs over Ghosts n Goblins

RALLY X POOT POOT POOT

^ is exactly like the original

whoah - too bad I'm at work

Exactly like the original except the jumping's fucked if you're against a gravestone and you end up jumping straight up and dying.

Spy Hunter.

I did not read any answers. That's how confident I am.

At least read the question: driver's perspective racing game

That's how I roll.

one arcade game i truly miss is 720

One of my favorite things about Road Blasters is the satisfying "BAP!" sound you hear when shooting a biker.

Also love the roof mounted nuke launcher that wasted everything except for the little ghosts of enemy cars.

I really love this game.

Spy Hunter? Come on, that game was ubiquitous - my memory's not THAT bad.

hey that Ghosts n Goblins one is only the first level! Lame

They have ghosts n goblins here:
