A clean video of Taito's 1993 futuristic arcade racing game VERTEXER has been uploaded to YouTube, showing a single course. The visual effects are a little eye-straining and flashy, so be warned! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P85... - ThreadSky

Still mad Shoutime hoarded the ROM for this

Uh, Taito needs to find a way to release this for modern consoles and PC. Maybe Arcade Archives 2? Or even AA1, I guess. Whatever, I want it!

It's neat in concept but I feel like this one's sloppier than other Taito offerings. Once you get past the backgrounds it looks really boring to play. There's like no substance

Imagine if they teamed up with Sega for this one though. Taito's art direction with Sega's experience in speed... hell yes

How very Zuntata it is that the vehicle's acceleration sounds like it was designed to be part of the actual musical score.

Oh yes, you're right! What a neat touch~

Wow, this game is fucken incredible

Holy shit!! Surreal to see clean footage of this at last... what I wouldn't give for an ACA release

sarahssowertty.bsky.social•56 days ago

I know, right? It looks so slick!!

The owner's shared videos before. This was 3yrs ago (in 3 days time it will be anyway)

It gets lent out on occasion for certain events so you never know, even if it's never public ally dumped you might be able to play it yourself some day (ACA would obviously be a lot easier & more convenient). We need a line of ACA Unreleased but finished games

One fear: Amazon Japan one day only download code (the shipping for said version mysteriously costing 24,000 yen)

tracker-td.bsky.social•56 days ago

Sadly I can't see myself making it out to Japan any time soon, let alone in time with an event like that... ACA (or even Egret Mini) would've been ideal

It's crazy to go from [the only videos being really rough quality on niconico] basically lost media to seeing it so clearly!

Night Striker vibes! That road over nothingness gives me a hint of Rainbow Road vertigo.

Looks beautiful. Are these graphics based entirely on sprites?
