Buy Moto Racer Collection

On Moto Racer 1 you have to fix somethings to make it run.

Apart of this, its a classic.

I got this collection for the orginal Motoracer, I didn't even know it had any sequels until I saw this.
I used to play the crap out of Motoracer and it's a total blast and nostagia trip for me.

However this game runs like crap and clearly wasn't optimised to run on modern systems.
There are some fixes in the forums though, if you like fiddling around with copying over files.
Otherwise, don't get it here, gog.com has a better port.

And as it turned out, the first two sequels were pretty okay. The "Fifteenth Aniversery" game somehow manages to look and play worse than the original game despite being on a modern engine. Huh...

This is a collection, so be aware that the original games have not been improved upon.
The store page is not ambiguous about that, but I'd rather reiterate because you might have different expectations in this age of HD remakes.
Having loved the original Moto Racer back in the day, a straight port was fine by me, except...

Moto Racer 1 won't launch on my machine -- launcher fails to set colour depth. There might be a way around it, like setting my display to 16-bit manually, but I can't be arsed right now. I might put effort into finding a workaround later though, because I recall this one being my favourite.

Moto Racer 2 does launch, but there's no sound during races, no music or SFX. Plays well, but feels weird because of that.

Moto Racer 3 works (huzzah!). Don't think I played this one back in the day (or not much); it seems less arcadey and fun than the previous two instalments, but that's just my impression after a single race.

Moto Racer 15th anniversary is the most recent entry (you can tell it's modern because you accelerate with the right trigger, not the A button!) and it's utter garbage. Not only does it manage to be uglier than the other, way older entries, but more shamefully it plays poorly. Not the game I cared about anyway, but dang, morbid curiosity is the only reason to bother trying it at all -- and even then I couldn't finish a single lap in a cross race. The way it handles just feels entirely wrong, like someone's first Unity game on XBLIG.

So all in all, if I find a way to make sound work in 2 and for 1 to launch at all, maybe I'll spend some time with this, reminiscing. But I cannot recommend it in good faith.

(Oh, and I spent more than 5 minutes with this -- but Steam only counts time spent in the launcher apparently)

I bought it only for nostalgia. I played Moto Racer and Moto Racer 2 everyday on my PSone in my childhood !

I don't recommend it, because the soundtrack is not working and the video sequences, too !
BTW, It works well on Windows 7 !

If they gonna fix this issue I'll change my review, but so ..... and the 15th Anniversary Edition is just some cheap trash, skip it !

Hey fellow steam users!
I bought this on 11/13/2014 and I have tested both Moto Racer 1, 2, 3, and 4 are all playable. Here's my review for each one:

1. Moto racer, the bonafide classic. not many tracks, but the game is wonderful, old-school, and arcadey. A definate must-have! 4:3 only, use the "black bars" mode.
2. Just like its predecessor, this game is wonderful and fast and arcadey. Much more tracks this time around, but the game is a tad more realistic and not quite as arcadey as MR1. If you add custom widescreen resolutions lower than 1024x768, usually they appear in-game.
3. Moto Racer 3 is a departure from the second one as there is a heavier focus on "arcade realism". The COD of the Moto Racer series, but this game is very enjoyable still and as always, has a wonderful sense of speed. 4:3 only.
4. The classic from ios, this game was created with auto-acceleration in mind. Play this with a controller and don't be as heavy on the throttle! The shoulder buttons are best for acceleration as button A is hard-coded to be Boost. 4x3 only, just like the older versions. This game is fairly faithful to its predecessors and is a good time waster, but not quite as good as the originals.

Overall, i'd say if you are a fan of the series, by all means get this title. It's cheaper than buying each one on GOG, and it's great fun for all ages!
The game had extreme bugs on release, but on my windows 8.1, amd fx 8350, and nvidia gtx 660, these games run fine and have few problems.

The Moto Racer games were a staple of my childhood. The CD for the first game is probably still at my parent's house somewhere. And the games themselves are still reasonably fun, if not very dated.

But this collection is abysmal. It's honestly amazing how lazy this collection is.

First, there's the launcher. The launcher is the laziest part of this collection. It was very obviously made with Windows forms (So I doubt we'll ever see a Mac or Linux port of this), and was made by someone who spent maybe 15 minutes on it. It's just a drop-down menu that lets you pick a game, and sometimes the language. They didn't even change the default icon for goodness' sake! In an hour, I could teach a programmer how to make a better launcher than this...

But let's talk about the games. But with the first Moto Racer, the launcher won't even launch the game! If you go into the installation directory and launche the game there, it will work. But besides the issues with launching the game, it has not been changed. It's just as good as I remember it, but it's controller support has not been updated for modern controllers. Running it with an Xbox 360 controller, the turns are way too fast. You can get used to it, though.

Moto Racer 2 does not allow turning with anything other than a controller for me (Which has aforementioned sensitivity issues). This game is a marked improvment over the first though, even if it's not been changed since it was released.

Moto Racer 3 is the first one so far to run without any issues! It's not as good as Moto Racer 1 or 2 though.

Moto Racer: 15th Anniversary is...there's no way to put this lightly, the worst in the series. It's a port of a mobile game, and it shows: Poor production values; bland and uninspired graphics; and very, very bad AI. There's nothing really enjoyable here.

In all, this is a poor collection of great games. If you want to experience the Moto Racer games, just get them from GOG. If this collection ever gets updated to be less abysmal, I will update this review.

옛 추억에 잠겨서 바로 구입을 해서 플레이를 해봤는데
추억을 아주 확실히 되새김질할 수 있게 예전 버전을 고스란히 올려놓았습니다.
현대 pc 환경은 전혀 고려하지 않은 채 그 때 그 시절의 해상도와 그래픽을 유지하였네요.

아무튼 실행은 되니까 그래픽은 건너뛰고 1편부터 해보았습니다.
1편은 스테이지 2부터 제대로 즐기지도 못합니다.
그래픽적 세부 효과가 나타나면서 동시에 게임이 끊겨버립니다.
주행을 정상적으로 할 수가 없습니다.

게임 내 CD 배경음악은 재생조차 되지 않습니다.
폴더로 가보면 배경음악 파일은 들어있지만 게임 내에서는 전혀 작동하지 않습니다.
그래픽 보완은 그렇다 쳐도 게임을 최신 환경에서 구동 테스트를 해보았는지 의심이 듭니다.

모음집으로 9.99달러에 올린 건 어찌보면 착한 가격이지만
완벽하게 즐기지도 못하는 게임들이니 대폭 할인을 하는 시기에 구입할 것을 강력 추천합니다.

This collection is a scam, move along.
