The 1994 PC version of Road Rash was undoubtedly the culmination of Early 90s culture. - A grunge soundtrack featuring Hammerbox, Swervedriver, and Alice in Chains - Digitized photograph sprites like Mortal Kombat and Doom - FMV cutscenes - Most importantly: 90s Sport Bikes The game is about illegal motorcycle racing around California, and heavily features punching cops. Who cares. If I wanted to talk about the game I would have posted this in Games. I want to talk about the motorcycles in these rad cutscenes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ4P6DdPmU0 It looks like most of the identifying markings have been removed, but I bet we can figure out which bikes are featured in these cutscenes. 11 year old MSPain always wanted to know, and now it's time to find out. For instance I'm pretty sure the cover art is a a Ducati 851 chasing a GSX-R750. Both with weird paint jobs. What do you spot? MSPain fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Jul 28, 2022 |

Oh hey, this came up in another thread a couple years ago almost to the day.goddamnedtwisto posted:The intro vid for the 3DO Road Rash is basically a readout of every thought I had in the early 90s: Phy posted:Yellow - yeah, it's a FZR. From the wikipedia article for road rash 2: " The yellow Yamaha FZR1000 featured on the cover was Breen's (one of the game devs) own bike, and would later be featured in the full-motion videos of the 32-bit versions of Road Rash."78 Re: video Red Bike Finger Prince posted:I think it's a 900SS. That's about as far as we got though. E: was this the cover you're talking about? Definitely an 851, haven't identified the other bike yet.

Thankfully because I'm a total waste of everything on the internet I made sure to make friends with one of the devs years ago, Dan Geisler. Make sure to creep on him on reddit https://old.reddit.com/user/dgeisler

Real road rashers have an old-school throttle lock on their bar ends so they can chain or billy-club ambidextrously. It's why the bikes go so goddamn far if you get punched off.
